Wonderful restaurant. The best meal I've had in London! Parking was easy to find along the streets. We ordered a combo platter (option A) with the daily special, lega tibbs. The platter was beautiful and very filling for our party of 3. My aunt had never tried Ethiopian food before and she really enjoyed everything! We ended our meal with a cozy tea, I loved the cinnamon notes in it. The workers were warm and inviting, I would love to come back here read more

The food and the service is amazing. We have been coming here for 20 years now. What an amazing place. We love it here!

First time trying Ethiopian food, and I specifically chose this place because I've heard amazing things about it! The restaurant was quite empty when we arrived (and stayed empty throughout), and the server was super attentive throughout. She's the daughter of the owner, and I heard from her that all the embellishments and decorations inside are authentically Ethiopian! She offered extremely friendly service, and was always kind and accommodating. My friend and I ordered the vegetarian/vegan combination platter, as we figured the best way to try Ethiopian food would be to go all in and get the most variety the first time! When the platter arrived, we were overblown by the sheer size and presentation of it. The server very kindly explained all the different dishes, and we received unlimited injera bread to eat with the food. It was an unreal experience! My personal favourite was the squash with hot sauce (unfortunately, I couldn't remember the names, and this dish wasn't on the menu!), and a close second was the stir fried green beans. All the flavours were so complex and distinct! For instance, you could taste the subtle sourness of the injera bread, the sweetness of the squash piercing through the hotness of the spices, the texture of the lentils and chickpeas... it was so homey and simply amazing! We were so stuffed by the end of it that we couldn't even finish the first plate of injera, and had to pack the leftovers for the next day. We then ended our meal with Ethiopian coffee - which, in itself, was an experience! The server came out with a pan, roasting the coffee beans right in front of us. It smelled like popcorn, but much stronger and more aromatic. We then received two separate small jugs with a cute and delicate cup/plate. The coffee was taken black, with only some sugar on the side (to be added according to preferences). Don't be fooled by the size of the jug - there was actually a lot of coffee inside (we couldn't even finish it all). The coffee is very strong, but very aromatic as well. It's very smooth, but there's the definite and unmistakable acidity that cuts to your senses. Overall, a delightful experience, and I would highly recommend you come should you get the chance! read more

This restaurant is a hidden gem in London Ontario. The food is absolutely amazing, the Staff are friendly and great at explaining the food if you are unfamiliar as we were. It is a cozy restaurant with nice decor and only about a dozen tables. Definitely recommend! Our new go to place in London Ontario. read more

Not bad, not great, not really worth the price. I got the vegetarian combination and the flavours didn't really impress me. The vegetables were actually quite tasty, better than the lentil dishes imo. For the price I expected a bigger portion, but I did like the variety though. read more

What a surprise! Ethiopian restaurant close the hotel. Good feedbacks, so I decided to test because it was brand new for me and really not desappointed! Great food, good quality, quantity as well. I highly recommend! The waitress was really kind and gives good advices. read more

This was my first time trying Ethiopian food, and I had such an amazing experience. I came here tonight with the Yelp International Supper Club, and there were a group of 8 of us to try this amazing, authentic cuisine. Looking on the menu, there were a bunch of different combination platters and we all opted to share a platter, one was chicken & vegetarian and one was a bit of everything. This was served on their traditional injera bread which is a flat spongy bread that not only the food is served upon, but you get some on the side to eat with the food; no utensils needed for this dish. The food itself was delicious and flavourful, and the best part was ripping off a piece of the injera bread and scooping up the food with it to eat it. I may have eaten a lot more of my share of this because of how delicious all the different foods tasted. They have a really great selection of vegetarian and vegan options as well. and chicken for those who aren't into red meat. The ambiance of the restaurant was relaxing, and the owners who were the ones who had served us where wonderful with explaining everything on the menu. This restaurant is definitely a hidden gem in the city and I will be coming back with my boyfriend for our next date night. read more

A diamond in the rough! Wow this place is amazing. From the service to the food, to the post-meal coffee, it was such a fun experience. We had a large group so we had 2 combination platters between us. I recommend this because you can try lots of different items and share with your friends (or people you just met, its a great way to get to know each other)! The platter I ate from had chicken, beef (both mild and spicy versions) plus a few different lentil stews and some made with veggies like cabbage. You eat it with a special bread and you eat with your hands! Each selection was absolutely full of flavour and really really good. Later, our waiter brought out a sizzling pan and inside was the coffee he was roasting for us. It smelled similar to popcorn. The coffee is served in tiny little cups and it is very very tasty. This is a great spot if you want to experience something new, eat REALLY tasty food, and enjoy an awesome environment. Just go! read more

This was my first time trying Ethiopian food! From their dinner menu, I got a mixed platter with beef sauteed with onions, chicken, and veggies for about $17. The serving size is huge so the price is worth it. There's enough for two people. The platter is served with a variety of stews/mashes/purees - veggies and beans with a hummus-like consistency. The plates are served with injera - a sourdough flatbread. The food was good - filled with a lot of spices to make the dish a hearty and savoury one. If this is your first time, I definitely recommend a mixed platter so that you are able to try different meats and veggies for a more wholesome experience. Service was super friendly and the atmosphere was warm, inviting, cozy, and lined with Ethiopian decor. read more

Awesome food! We always go for the vegetarian platters, and are never disappointed in flavour. It helps to call ahead with an order, but the food is almost always ready a bit late. Luckily it's so fresh and tasty that it's always worth it. read more

Entering TG's Addis Ababa you can tell the food will be authentic and homemade. It was decorated with traditional instruments, clothes, and paintings. My boyfriend and I visited on a Sunday afternoon. We were greeted and seated quickly. The owners (I assume) brought over water for us as we were browsing the menu. We decided on the combination platter which includes a mix of meats and vegetables-- ordered 2 servings. If this is your first time trying Ethiopian food I would definitely recommend this platter! Everything was spiced and flavoured well; the spices did not over power the main ingredients. Our favourite was the chicken(in the middle) and the cabbage (top right beside the peas)! The best part about our experience is how you eat-- with your hands! The amount of food you get is a lot. You will probably have leftovers. Because it was our first time eating Ethiopian food the owner took his time explaining to us what we were about to eat. The owners were friendly, inviting, and attentive. We had a lovely time, would definitely revisit and bring more friends! read more

After being stuck at the Blue Water Bridge for 2 hours, we decided to find a spot that would satisfy all the dietary needs of my family. I was impressed by the other reviews left by other Yelpers, so we decided to try it for ourselves. First let me say that I'm a stickler for good customer service. From the moment we set foot inside the great attention to detail and service began. Let's just start with the magical aroma of this place. We felt like we had been transported right to Ethiopia. We ordered our beverages. They roasted the coffee beans for my Aunt's coffee and brought them out for us to take a whiff. Aaaah, pure joy. We ordered a spicy beef platter for 3 and a vegetarian platter for 2. This is not fast food. It's real food. It came out fresh and we were provided with lots of injera. The owner anticipated our needs before we even had to ask. The chef came out to make sure we enjoyed the meal. I'm telling you, this place is a gem. If you're passing through London, you must make this a stop to anywhere you're headed. With my belly full of Ethiopian spice tea, we are on the road again... Thank you for an amazing dining experience! read more

This place was a planned stop for us en route from Toronto to Michigan for the weekend...AMAZING!! Large space with plenty of tables and the dark ambient setting somehow added to the whole experience. There wasn't one thing we tried that we didn't like. The server was friendly, attentive and incredibly knowledgeable...which was a huge help for us Ethiopian cuisine newbies! I'm afraid this place has set the bar quite high for other places we'll try in the GTA. Only down side...was how much we ate!! But that in my opinion is a great problem! read more

Excellent food, friendly service, great ambiance. We had the combo platter and the vegetarian platter. So good!

This wasn't our first visit to Addis Ababa and it definitely won't be our last. We had the vegetarian platter, which is plenty of food for two people to share. In fact, we were so full we left food on our plate, which prompted the chef to come out and make sure we did indeed enjoy our meal. I hope we reassured him that we were simply stuffed full of his wonderful foods! Our waitress was lovely, efficient despite it being a full house. We made reservations for our visit and I'm glad we did, the restaurant was empty when we arrived but full by the time we were finished. Can't recommend this place enough. Delicious food made by awesome people. read more

I was here last night and the food was amazing. I haven't been here for quite awhile and I was impressed the owners still remember me. If you're looking for something different come here. You can literally eat the food with your hands. Great atmosphere and it like being in East Africa. read more

TG's Addis Ababa Restaurant - Ethiopian Food at its finest. - Ethiopian Near Me - London, Ontario

My boyfriend and I would pass by this place almost every day, so one day we decided to try it and we were extremely glad we did! We've never had ethiopian food before, but the staff were very friendly and explained how meals were eaten with injera bread instead of utensils and named all the items on our combination platter. It was such a fun and unique experience! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was perfectly fitting for it. The restaurant is very small, reservations would be a good idea if you'd prefer not to wait for a table during dinner times. It does take quite a long time to be served meals, but the food is worth it. We always go home with leftovers. Being served tea and coffee after meals is also a nice touch. We've been twice - we've gotten the combination platters and beef platters which were both excellent. They also have vegetarian options. We'll definitely return! read more

I had a fantastic first experience with Ethiopian food here! Cute decor, great food, and the owner is the sweetest man. A large portion size for the price and very delicious :) I tried the combo platter and my favourites were the cabbage and curried beef. I would definitely recommend trying! read more

Love love love! Ethiopian cuisine is hard to find. But this place makes home cooked Ethiopian meals all year round. If you haven't tried Ethiopian cuisine and like combinations of flavours, you need to go here! read more

A fantastic restaurant with great service. The owners even created a special meal for a person with us who has many allergies. Authentic. Reasonable. Friendly read more

First time I've ever had Ethiopian food and it was so good. I got the combination platter so I could try everything. I highly recommend you try this place out! It's such a unique experience and I'm glad I went. read more

My wife and I have been to this establishment twice. It is great food and great value. If you are looking for something tasty, healthy, and very reasonably priced I would highly recommend Addis Ababa - especially for vegetarians! Ethiopian food is fantastic! This is about as authentic and friendly a place as you are every going to find. 5 stars! read more

In the city for a short duration training, along with a couple friends, who really wanted to go out for food. So I said that I would get to pick the place. My good buddy, he decided to not look at the map before leaving and pretend like he did...anyways, we got there quick. The restaurant is beautiful from inside. A small cozy place run by a couple, service is a little slow, but the portions were enormous. I got the red lentils in hot sauce, while my friends got the chicken and the beef in anjira respectively. All three had distinctive flavour, very well spiced. Came with salad and lots and lots of anjira, which was fresh, sour as it should be, although cool. Awesome place. read more

Ethiopian is my favorite. I thought I had the best in Toronto, but TG's beats everything I had there. This is the best I've had, and the prices are great. read more

Never had a single bad experience. I tell everyone I know to go here! I work as a chef and this place feels like someone's home! I might have to go this week. read more

On the recommendation of a local we took a stroll to Addis Ababa from our hotel and were not disappointed! This small place is charming and welcoming, it smells delicious as you enter. The service is fantastic with ready advice if you're not familiar with Ethiopian fare. During dinner the chef stopped by to see if we were satisfied with our meals. read more

Wonderful experience at Addis Ababa. I arrived with a group of 13 with interesting and specific dietary restrictions and they were accommodating to all - over and above. Coffee beans were roasted in front of my eyes. I can't wait to go back. read more

Tasty food and lively atmosphere, but extremely slow service. We waited over an hour for our food. Unfortunately we were already quite hungry when we arrived so it seemed like forever. Go for an evening out, not for a quick meal. read more

I was beyond impressed with this resto when I tried for the first time (Feb. 2017). Ordered the combination platter to share (that contained some vegetarian options), and some freshly roasted coffee. The service, atmosphere and food quality was fantastic. CANNOT wait to go back! read more

Had dinner with co-workers there last night. Very unique and a must try. This is the first time having Ethiopian food. All eaten with the fingers and no silverware. Really good! You must try the Ethiopian coffee! The owner roasts the beans fresh for every batch. I am a coffee snob and will say that it was excellent! read more

Had the combination platter (get it). Food was amazing, service was very personal. She even brought out the coffee beans as they were roasted. Great little place - come here if you haven't, bring friends who are visiting, you won't be disappointed. If you like to experience ethnic food, come here. read more

We came with a large group and all had really great experiences. Good food and awesome, friendly service!

Amazing if, and only if, you love experimenting with cultural cuisine. Shared a platter with my wife and it was more than we could eat for $25. Seven distinctly different samples made from meats, beans, and lentils, all served with these great sour flatbreads. Seriously good food, but beware that this is dining WITHOUT utensils (though they probably have them if you ask). Not for everyone, but truly enjoyable for me. Will be sure to leave time for an Ethiopian Coffee Service the next time we're in. read more

Great, intimate atmosphere, fantastic service, amazing food. Job well done! We will definitely be back!

The combination platter for 4 was a nice mix of spicy and mild, and very filling. It was my first time trying Ethiopian cuisine and I was quite impressed. Nice atmosphere and very friendly service. I would definitely visit again. read more

I love Ethiopian food but, unfortunately, it's hard to come by where I presently live. Thus, I was excited to try Addis Ababa when I recently visited a friend in London. We had a wonderful dinner, and the food (we shared the vegetarian combo platter) was excellent. The coffee after the meal was a delight, too, and the service was very kind. If I lived in London, there's no question I would become a regular here. read more

If you've never had Ethiopian, then it's worth a shot here. The restaurant is nicely decorated with friendly, homey staff. The food is decent, and the prices at lunch time are pretty good. I've had the meat and veg platter. Some of the veg and meat options on the platter are very good, others kind of boring. I had one meat that we left behind. It was bland, mashed and very disappointing. Other than that, they're worth checking out. Their teas and coffees are delicious, and the ambiance is nice. But if you're looking for authentic Ethiopian, it's worth checking elsewhere. read more
