Abyssinia Ethiopian Restaurant

We absolutely loved Abyssinia. I ordered the key wot and it was great. It was slightly spicy but not overwhelming with balanced flavor. The sides were great, especially the potatoes and carrots, along with the yellow and red lentils. I also had some of the best tea at Abyssinia after the meal, which was a nice way to finish. I’d definitely recommend this spot to anyone wanting to try Ethiopian food or looking for something comforting and full of flavor!

So yummy and so willing to make gluten free injera if you call ahead. This is the best Ethiopian place in Memphis by far. Everything is gluten free as long as you have all teff injera (call ahead for). We love Mohamad and Meseret. They are so sweet and always treat us as family. If I could give ten stars I would.

Great service and cute, cozy setup on the inside! I ordered the pea stew with two sides, spicy lentils and yellow split peas. I would create a combo a la carte if visiting again. For the pea stew, I envisioned a different dish for pea stew. It is much like Shiro I've had at other restaurants but with extra onions. I definitely plan to come back to try more items on the menu. Overall the flavor and spice of the dishes was very good and the plating beautiful!

We absolutely love this place! This place is #1 on our list for ethiopian food in the U.S.A. . We tried in Florida, and Lousiana and in California. Memphis has the best food and prices around! When we do visit we eat all weekend from this place! Always great customer service and the food is always right when we order. You will not be disappointed! 5* The picture is not mine but the food looks exactly the same!

one of my favorite restaurants in memphis! i no longer live here but everytime im in town i have to stop by. the food is amazing, the portion sizes are great, and the owners are the sweetest. everything i’ve tried here is delicious but our usual order is the veggie plater, lamb tibs, and gored gored (raw). the hot tea is also amazing. come try this place!!
