The Abyssinian

Amazing Ethiopian food.

An authentic African experience where me and my friends spent the evening. Small and cosy, and we got a warm impression from the staff.

I had heard many great things about this restaurant so I came in with quite high expectations. It didn't quite meet up to them, however I had a lovely dinner. We had the banquet between two people. The decor was really nice, the service was really attentive and the food was plenty to fill us up. While all the meats were really well cooked and tender, the flavours just lacked that something special to make it an amazing meal. This restaurant is a nice introduction to Ethiopian food and was a lovely place for a group dinner.

Having no preconceived ideas about what horn of African food was like, we were pleasantly surprise. Tried the mixed platter and it is one of the best meat dishes I have ever had and one of the most unique. Definitely worth a try. More so with a group of friends.

This place is amazing. Friendly, accomidating owner and an atmosphere to match. Most of the food is served comunal style with everyone dipping in with fingers, so come with people you're comfortable getting messy around. Delicious lamb. You won't be dissapointed. Bookings are essential (even on weeknights), but usually available on short notice.
