Chef Effi Ekubai, founder and CEO of Eros Restaurant, brings more than just culinary skill to the table—he brings a global perspective shaped by experience, passion, and vision. Having spent formative years in Sweden honing his craft, Chef Effi immersed himself in the refined techniques and minimalist elegance of Scandinavian cuisine. This international influence now infuses every detail of the Eros experience.
Through a dynamic collaboration with investors at Lewi’s Hospitality Group, Chef Effi has reimagined Eros Restaurant—both in Addis Ababa and through a standout brunch service in Mekelle, Ethiopia—as a destination for fine dining that bridges continents. His time in Sweden deeply informs his approach to European fusion cuisine, now elevated with vibrant Afro-inspired flavours.
At Eros Addis, food is more than just a meal—it’s an expression of culture, creativity, and passion. Our menu is crafted by Chef Effi Ogbay, blending classic European techniques with bold Afro-inspired flavors. Every plate is thoughtfully prepared to surprise and delight your taste buds, whether it’s a rich, slow-cooked entrée or a beautifully balanced brunch dish. From the first bite to the last, each dish reflects our love for flavor and fine dining.
Our drinks menu is designed to complete the Eros experience. From handcrafted cocktails to a carefully selected wine list, every drink is chosen to pair perfectly with our food. Whether you’re sipping something refreshing before your meal or enjoying a bold red with dinner, our bar has something to match every mood and moment. It’s not just about what’s in your glass—it’s about how it makes you feel
