Excellent food and very good service. The way the food was served was totally unique. The beef tibs, lamb tibs and combo meal were excellent. However, the injera bread was ok, nothing spectacular.

We’ve been going to Abyssinia for more than a decade! Maybe closer to two. Things change but it’s mostly the same excellent injera and amazing lentils and veggies. The spiced tea is wonderful. It was too late in the day for coffee but I would expect it to be excellent.

We just went to Abyssinia for the first time yesterday, and had a great experience! The food is amazing, the portion sizes are generous, and the pricing is reasonable. The server was really nice, and we didn’t have to wait a long time to be seated or served. Would recommend!

First time going to this location as well as eating Ethiopian food. It was absolutely delicious. I do not know what I got however I told the lady serving us to simply bring us something she would suggest for first timers. I know it was lamb rice and red lintels he had chicken rice and red lintels both were amazing. They gave us a cup of spice tea on the house to try. Definitely will be coming back!!

Visited this place on Saturday, Jan. 7th to celebrate my best friend recent job promotion. Ordered the Abyssinian spaghetti w/ Lamb and oh my! It was delicious! The service was excellent and had a very nice and cozy atmosphere. I also order a cup of spiced tea and yes, it was just what I needed. Will definitely recommend this place for those who never tried this type of food but want to try something new. You will not be disappointed.

Been wanting to try, and finally got to tonight. Had the vegetarian platter. A huge portion for the price. And absolutely delicious. Even my extremely picky boyfriend enjoyed his chicken tibs. A very solid choice for my birthday dinner
