Abyssinia Restaurant and Cafe Ethiopian Cuisine

First time trying Ethiopian cuisine and my visit was a very pleasant experience. The woman that served me (and also cooked the food) was very welcoming and explained many of the dishes to me to cater to my preferences. I ordered the mixed platter that included chicken, lamb, and beef, along with the non-alcoholic honeywine. The food was delicious. All the meats were tender and well seasoned. I would strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone wishing to try this food as well.

Immediately walking into the restaurant the ambiance was amazing the lights and decor are gorgeous! There was music playing and colored lights! The service was super fast and nice. We got the full plate of vegetarian options and it was delicious!! The potatoes were especially good! Honestly if you’re looking for a cool looking place to eat with amazing tastes this place is perfect!

Amazing atmosphere and kind/helpful staff. To drink we ordered the honey wine which was very sweet and delicious. For the meal we shared the Abyssinia Vegetables which was a portion of everything on the veggie menu. The potatoes were outstanding along with all of the lentil dishes! Everything is extremely affordable with plenty of vegetarian options that could suit anyone’s appetite. Over all me and my friend had an amazing time and would recommend to anyone wanting to try an Ethiopian place!

Absolutely amazing. The owner is a wonderful woman who made me feel right at home and recommended different dishes. The birz is sweet and delicious, and the lamb was perfectly cooked, served piping hot and quite literally the best butter-braised lamb I've ever had. The injera was fluffy and just the right sourness and came with a bright fresh green salad. Highly, highly recommend coming here.

Wow! Excellent service... Loved the Ethiopian ambiance and music. passionately cozy atmosphere, yet meditative. Food, rich in authenticity couldn't be experienced in a better place!

Wonderful place, great atmosphere! I had the split pea which was very good. It was a tiny bit spicy, but I'm a sissy about that kind of stuff anyway. Couldn't get it five stars because sometimes they open an hour or two after the posted hours but worth every penny!

Soooo amazing!!! Great food, great atmosphere, and authentic as it comes! Our Ethiopian friend took us here, and it was such a beautiful blessing to have him share his food and culture with us. He had high praise for the whole experience. I’ll definitely be back soon! Thank you all so much!!

Best Ethiopian food in the East side of phx very friendly and the food taste like u are in Ethiopia. If it's your first time try sampler dishes and the Ethiopian coffee ceremony. ENJOY !
