Addissae Ethiopian Restaurant

OMG, you must stop here if in Asheville!! We were with friends & we enjoyed the meat & veggie platters, which included most of the options they have in the small plates. EVERYTHING here is gluten free, including the so soft bread. I tried everything on the platters, including the bread, and had no reaction/symptoms. I will be back..

This was the best meal we’ve had in a long time! The restaurant is totally gluten free, and so good. I had the veggie platter, and my husband had beef with collards, both meals were excellent.

What this place has going for it (aside from being completely gluten-free) is the atmosphere. When you order a shareable platter, they didn't bring individual plates so you all eat off the same communal plate! I had never had Ethiopian food so eating in this way, especially with having celiac and communal eating isn't normally possible, was so amazing! Highly recommend!

My boyfriend and I have been eyeballing this place for a while and I’m so glad we finally decided to try it— the food was AMAZING! We were informed by staff that the entire menu is gluten free, including the injera bread, which is made in house :)

We both loved our meals and were able to share them “family style”. The food was so flavorful and my tummy felt good afterwards. I’m pretty sensitive celiac and would definitely eat here again!

Amazing!! Gluten free Injara bread and an entirely gluten free menu. Super cute place. Delicious and authentic flavors. Do yourself a favor and have this experience. No utensils unless you request it. Food is served family style on top of the injara bread and the bread is used as the utensils so it is finger food style. We will be back. So good and so fun

Entire menu is gluten free! (And for me, cashew-free as well.) Delicious meal, amazing service. My family can't wait to go back.

They are able to accommodate gluten free. Most everything is cooked in canola oil. Very different and interesting! Willing to work with you.

I just happened upon this place. We were looking for something different. This place hit the spot. Their Injera is made with Teff and rice flour and is shaped like a thicker crepe. The flavor of the food is good. Though not for everyone. If you don’t like strong flavors, then this probably isn’t for you. But if like something out of the ordinary, give it a try.

Celiac friendly?

Absolutely wonderful. Fast, friendly and attentive service, and the food is to die for. Shared a family style meat and veggie platter, so rich in flavor and very generous serving.
