    What an outstanding meal! Incredible service too. We were celebrating my sons birthday at the restaurant and the staff went above and beyond to make it special. The food was so tasty, the ambience lively yet relaxed and just all round, what a memorable evening! Highly recommend Addis in Cape to everyone.

    My wife and I enjoyed our valentines dinner. Disappointed that our immediate neighbours walked out. They came to the restaurant expecting to be treated as president of the country. That was our only disappointment. Difficult customers

    Food is good but waiter we had was forcefully upselling things we didnt want ie we asked for a 2 course, he brought 3. We didn’t want coffee but he brought it anyway to “show us” and charged us. Great concept but they must be careful not to come across as trying to fleece patrons.

    Hi Vuyo, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for your kind words about the food — we’re glad you enjoyed it. We’re genuinely sorry to hear about your service experience. That’s certainly not the impression we aim to give, and upselling should never feel uncomfortable or result in items being brought without clear consent. We take this feedback seriously and would like to address it internally. If you’re comfortable sharing, could you please let us know on direct email celebrate@addisincape.co.za which server assisted you during your visit? This will help us follow up appropriately and ensure better experiences going forward. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. We truly value your feedback and hope to welcome you back under better circumstances. Warm regards, The Addis in Cape Management Team
