★★★★★ 5.0 Steve Frey · Feb 2026

Great first time experience. We shared a 2-person sampler with another couple which was more than enough when coupled with a small appetizer. Everything was delicious and just what you would expect for a family owned ethnic restaurant.

★★★★★ 5.0 Allen Edwards · Feb 2026

I love Abyssinia! The sampler platter is my go-to, but everything is great. Make time for the coffee ceremony, if you can. It's a really fun experience.

★★★★★ 5.0 mystery Heart · Jul 2025

Amazing and full filling. The Chef, her hands are blessed. We have tried quite a few Ethiopian places but this is a place we will certainly go back to.

★★★★★ 5.0 kelsi wagner · Feb 2025

Great food. Ordered something with bread. The flavors and spices were amazing. The hot tea was delicious. They serve Ethiopian beer and wine. There is a hand washing station to wash your hands before you eat. The decoration inside is beautiful. The tables were clean and all of the cups were clean.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Shirley Dennis-Hughes · Jan 2026

I only get takeout from this restaurant. The food is excellent, with great flavor and generous portions. During my last two visits, there has been an issue with payment. I order online directly from their website. The last time I went to pick up my food, the owner(?)/host told me that he hadn’t received my payment. I showed him the confirmation email (…..which I received because I paid). The owner was still uncertain about the transaction, but said he would “let it go” and fill my order, as if I hadn’t paid. I ended up having to place my order in person and wait for my food again, even though I had already ordered online. After all of this, I noticed that the portions were much smaller than usual. The lamb was a bit overcooked, but this is not the norm for them. It’s usually good food
