Sana'a Restaurant
Olympia$$⏱ 1-1.5 hours
One of Addis's longest-running international kitchens, Sana'a serves Yemeni classics — slow-cooked mandi rice with tender meat, bubbling fahsa stew and fresh-baked flatbread — in generous, share-style portions. A delicious reminder of the old Yemeni trading ties across the Red Sea.
☀️ Local tip
Order one mandi platter per two people and eat with your hands like everyone else; portions are huge.
