WELCOME ADDIS IN CAPE

TO
History of Addis in Cape
Owner Senait Mekonnen was born and raised in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia. After spending several years travelling and living throughout Asia, Africa and Europe, she decided to share the culture and cuisine that she knows best; that of her homeland. Addis in Dar was opened in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania in 1998. Over the years, the restaurant proved to be an extremely popular endeavor. Encouraged by this success and driven by her passion for great food and service she decided to open her first franchise. Drawn to South Africa by the diversity of its people and the energy that the various communities of the country generate, she chose Cape Town in 2007 to open Addis in Dars sister restaurant, Addis in Cape. At Addis in Cape, the Ethiopian cuisine, famous for its rich aromas and generous use of herbs and spices, is prepared by an experienced Ethiopian chefs. The sweet homemade Ethiopian honey wine; Tej, and the home-brewed Ethiopian coffee bring the Ethiopian experience to life. Addis in Cape welcomes your patronage and thanks you for sharing in our passion for a taste of the extraordinary.

CUISINE
Injera
Ethiopian cuisine is traditionally served on a large, thin, sourdough pancake called Injera, which is usually made from a grain called Teff that is native to Ethiopia. However where Teff is not available, other substitutes can be used such as buckwheat or sorghum. At Addis in Cape we use a combination of rice flower and teff to prepare the injera, which we bake on a flat clay stove called a metad. Injera which is fat and gluten-free is used to scoop up the various sauces and stews called wot.

STARTERS
Kategna with Ayeb begomen and Azifa per person R30
A dipping of blended lentils served with our chefs unique salad dressing and our homemade cottage cheese mixed with sauted spinach. (Vegan orders for starters should be placed with management)

Wot
General name for all stews and sauces.

Berbere
An important ingredient in Ethiopian cuisine, Berbere, which is prepared by milling dried chilies with several herbs and spices, such as garlic, onions, ginger, cloves and cardamom, is used in making all our spicy sauces.

Alicha
Alicha is the mild alternative to all of our dishes. Instead of using Berbere to prepare the food we use mild and flavorful turmeric that colors the food in beautiful golden yellow hues.

Beef Meatballs

Kibe
A clarified butter simmered in various spices such as fresh herbs, turmeric and cardamom. After the butter is flavored with the spices, it is then strained, cooled and used in the preparation of many Ethiopian dishes. The spices in Kibe provide our sauces with a unique and beautiful aroma and intense flavor.
