Abyssinia

The food at this place is absolutely sensational. Incredible and unique flavours, clearly very authentic, the sour spongey bread is just awesome and I loved the way the platter is served and eaten. Service was average but kinda liked that. A change from being doted upon. The atmosphere for this kinda place is exactly how I like it, just chill and low budget - no shiny sheen to trick you. This place focuses on the food and it shows. Highly recommend.

We had a great experience at Abyssinia! Everything from the warm friendly welcome and lovely service, to the meal was perfect. This is definitely the best Ethiopian food I have ever eaten and I’m a big fan! I highly recommend Abyssinia to anyone looking for a delicious and affordable meal, in a friendly and relaxed environment.

I've been to Abyssinia several times but I always forget to take photos because I always immediately dig into my food. This place is THAT good. I usually get the vegetarian selection platter for "sharing" but I usually order it just for myself 😭😅 However, it is a perfect sharing dish. I like that it comes with a variety of Ethiopian veggie dishes with injera. The staff is very friendly and attentive and that just adds to the welcoming atmosphere. Definitely recommend eating here. Oh and important to note- this place is CASH ONLY! There's an atm on London Road at the WH Smith.

So glad to be able to give this 5⭐, it's everything I was hoping for and more. Super relaxed atmosphere with beautiful fitting music. Helpful staff doing their best to be accommodating. Food, I think was authentic and just fantastic, some spicy dishes some not. If you are not familiar with Ethiopian food, be prepared to share. Meat dishes will often contain bones but it is so well cooked the meat will just fall off. But what I always love is you can really eat a lot and feel full, but not uncomfortable and bloated. Absolutely try the Asmara beer! Cash only.
