Ethiopian Restaurant coming to Fern Creek

There is an Ethiopian "Bar and Restaurant" opening in the same plaza as Dakshin and Le Preferida at Bardstown Rd and Breckenridge. I noticed it last week but now they have a big colorful sign out front with the name Addis Ababa Ethiopian Bar and Restaurant. The inside looks mainly finished although nobody was there when I peeked in earlier today.

As a side note, that plaza is not going to win any architectural prizes. But mana a mano, it punches heavy with La Preferida (with a wonderful restaurant in the back), the International Store (Indian), Dakshin, and now Ethiopian. There is a Turkish store as well to the south side of the plaza behind the Dollar Tree.

Thanks for the report, James. Geez, it's going to be hard to decide where to go when we head out that way!

Addis Ababa is apparently open now -- there's a very positive review on Yelp. I haven't been able to find a website or online menu, though.

I look forward to visiting there. I wonder if it could be the same people who had Addis Cafe on 4th Street downtown pre-pandemic. I thought they did the best Ethiopian in town FWIW, and while I know "Addis" is probably in the name of 25% of all Ethiopian restaurants worldwide, it would be nice to see them back in the game and serving up great Ethiopian food again.
