Addis-Saba • Menu
The name Addis-Saba combines two important symbols of East Africa:
Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, and the legendary Queen of Sheba, who has stood for wisdom, hospitality, and cultural richness for centuries. With this name, we wish to express the close connection between our homeland, Eritrea and Ethiopia, as well as the rich history and hospitality of this region.
In addition to Mediterranean specialties, we invite you to discover the diverse and rich culinary traditions of Eritrea and Ethiopia. In our culture, food is much more than nourishment—it is a shared experience that brings together family, friends, and guests.
Traditionally, many dishes are eaten without cutlery. Instead, injera, a soft flatbread, is used to pick up the food. Several dishes are often served together on a large platter and shared among everyone at the table—a symbol of community, trust, and hospitality. If you would like to experience this traditional way of dining, please let our service staff know. We will be happy to serve your meal in the traditional style without cutlery.
Our dishes are prepared with a mild level of spiciness suitable for European tastes. If you would like to enjoy the authentic flavors and heat of East Africa, we are happy to provide the original level of spice upon request. Simply ask a member of our staff.
All East African dishes are traditionally served with injera, a unique flatbread made from teff, millet, and wheat flour. Injera gives the dishes their distinctive character and is an essential part of East African food culture. Please note that our regular injera contains gluten. Upon advance request, we are also happy to prepare gluten-free injera for you.
We wish you a pleasant stay and an enjoyable introduction to the culinary traditions of East Africa.
