Customer Reviews
Abyssinia location on 45th Street has very professional staff members that prepare the food with care. They have plenty of room for big parties. I like how they have a bar in the front of the business and a upstairs area that is their dining area that is easier to talk in. Upstairs area is not in this reviews pictures. Maybe update new time. I'll definitely be back. Keep up the good work 👍
I got Meat Combo and the Kurt Tibs and the meat was so tender and seasoned well (the veggies were seasoned well too). It was the first time me and my friends tried Ethiopian food and we can't wait to have it again! I just wish the Baklava was bigger for the price it is. We spent a total of ~$80 for 2 meat combos one order of Kurt Tibs and 2 orders of the baklava. There was definitely more than enough to share with 4 people.
Probably the best Ethiopian joint in the city. Don't sleep on it. My favorite two dishes; the Abyssiania platter and the breakfast special, with scrambled eggs, beef and ful.
Went here for a late night dinner since my friend had never had Ethiopian food before and wanted to try it. This is a neighborhood restaurant with 2 bars and a dining room. Both bars were busy. The downstairs bar was updated, but the dining room was pretty nondescript and empty. I confirmed the kitchen was still open and we sat in the dining room. The server for the dining room was helping out in the downstairs bar so it took a while for him to take our order. My friend had to go to the bar and order some drinks in order to get his attention. When he came in to deliver our drinks and take our order he only brought my friend’s drink (spicy margarita). My drink (mango tequila sunrise) took a while to come out so he comped it. We waited for quite some time before he came in again to check o
This is my go to Ethiopian restaurant and I would give it a five. I usually get The Meat Combo, but I tried Abyssinia s number 1 with the Kitfo. First time having Kitfo not my thing and it was oily. The greens were not that great today also and the beef and onions were not great.
