The Young Flower of Seattle

In the Amharic language, Adey Abeba means “Young Flower.” In 2005, Adey Abeba was the “young flower” of Seattle’s Ethiopian Restaurants—opening for business in an inviting and beautifully remodeled Victorian.

Fresh & Friendly

“The Young Flower of Seattle” is approaching two decades old, but Adey Abeba feels as fresh as the day it opened. This family-owned business is unmistakably one of the most friendliest and atmospheric Ethiopian dining experiences in the city.
