Adey Abeba ● An Authentic Ethiopian Restaurant in Seattle’s Historic Central District

A New Generation of Tradition

Our philosophy is rooted in a simple, heartfelt idea: to share the warmth of Ethiopian hospitality as if welcoming you into a home.

While that warmth fills our cozy restaurant every day, our tradition is also built to be shared! We are dedicated to bringing our authentic, freshly-prepared cuisine and rich cultural experiences to your events and gatherings.

The Young Flower of Seattle

In the Amharic language, Adey Abeba translates to “Young Flower.” When we opened in 2005, we were the “young flower” among Seattle’s Ethiopian restaurants, housed in a beautifully remodeled Victorian.

Nearly two decades later and now with the next generation serving, our family-owned restaurant continues to blossom, offering a memorable dining experience rooted in community.
