Ethiopian food at its most authentic

willid1952, Jan 2020

Friendly hosts gave me a family experience of preparing and cooking authentic Ethiopian food, then more importantly eating it. Totally delicious and finished with the full coffee ceremony. Very enjoyable, the only downside was the distance from my hotel, at around 40 mins just outside Addis.

Nicest family, best food

Lindsay_B, Nov 2019

I spent my first day in Addis with Daniel and his family, and it was absolutely the best way to start my visit. The whole family is warm and kind and a joy to be around, and Daniel and Tigist are a wealth of information. I was comfortable, safe, and happy from the moment Daniel picked me up. And of course the food - delicious and Tigist is a great (and patient) teacher.

Daniel, his wife and children were such a delight! They were very accommodating from the moment I arrived in Addis Ababa. From helping me visit a museum to inviting me into their home to prepare and eat the food, it was a wonderful day! They were extremely personable and fun, and the food was INCREDIBLE! I would highly recommend this market tour and cooking class to anyone visiting Addis Ababa -- you won't regret it one bit!
