Abyssinia Ethiopian Restaurant

Chicken sambuusa was the best out all the other sambuusa. Lamb is good, chicken is good, potato is good.

Excellent!! Service was fast and the food was hot and very flavorful. We will definitely be back. Haven't been in awhile and we are so happy to see the family is still doing well. We did ask if next time we could do the traditional seating. My son has never experienced it and we thought it was nice to see other peoples traditions.

Wow, it's been several years since I last visited Abbysinia. We took our kiddos over the weekend to experience an Ethiopian meal firsthand. We frequently order Ethiopian carry-out, but I wanted them to see how vibrantly the food is presented and interactive the whole experience is. We ordered a cabbage, spinach and potato hand pie along with the ground beef version. I thought the vegetarian one was much more flavorful and interesting. We also ordered the vegan platter for two and really enjoyed each of the flavors. The service was OK, but we struggled with the language barrier to learn more about new dishes to try and discuss allergies. Are typical go-to is Axum Ethiopian. We order carryout just about once a month- I can't get enough of it.Abbysinia has the full set up for Ethiopian coffee ceremonies and plentiful seating. The vibe is a little interesting with a big screen TV and neon lights front and center. Overall, a positive experience. Set aside some time to work your way through this strip mall. You will also find a Jamaican patty shop, Mexican bakery, and more.

Very different flavor than Axum Downtown. Try it!). I realy enjoyed it. Bill came to $30. enough to feed two

This is just what I was looking for in Ethiopian food in Indy.I love they use real teff flour and the entire menu is GF. We did two large samplers and everything was fresh, fragrant and delicious.The lady who served us the Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony was friendly and gracious and helped us understand what all goes into it. RICH, very dark, perfectly seasoned coffee.I really enjoyed the space. Open, very clean, plenty of room which was appreciated. I have been to Ethiopian places all over North America and sometimes they are crowded and small, this place has plenty of room for all and still is cozy. Beautiful and delicious evening. I will be bringing loved ones here!

By far my mostest favorite Ethiopian restaurant ever. A very good friend suggested this place long ago when we worked downtown Indy together. The service here is marvelous. The owners are outstanding folks. They are humble & very kind. You'll taste the love & passion in their cuisines. I've eaten in & carried out many many many times over, throughout the years. Not once have I ever been disappointed. Planning on going again & more often, once the interstate folks get their groove on. TBH, I can hardly wait. If you've never tried Ethiopian, what on God's green earth are you waiting on ;)? Brace yourself tho, IMO this type of deliciousness is meant to be shared with your party & lovingly enjoyed. You won't have the typical flatware in the event you opt to be seated in the traditional setting. Yes, that took a second to wrap myself around. What do you mean, we don't get forks...was what I asked. Goofy, I know this now. The Injera is so fresh & absorbs the fabulous dishes with each side that accompanies your choices. I've even ordered a to go meal for the next day funtivies a few times actually. It keeps well. Just describing this on Yelp now forces me to seek other routes excluding the interstate :) ! This might be a seek & find mission this coming weekend. Will our Indy freezing temperatures/snow prevent me? For authentic Injera... we'll see what happens. Stay well & safe everyone,Amy

A friend made reservations for Thanksgiving, also her birthday. We were set for a 3pm arrival. I see my friends in the parking lot. We're all dressed up. We go to the door. It's closed, as in no-lights-on. We're floored. She loves this place. It would be my partner's and my first foray into Ethiopian food. But we'll never know. There was no sign on the door, nothing. You can go, and maybe you'll get food, and maybe it'll be good-- but we can't tell you because we went down the street and ate Mexican food. It was a good meal. It wasn't Ethiopian. Maybe yours will be. Are you feeling... lucky?

Finally got a chance to get into Abyssinia and try some Ethiopian food. It did not disappoint. I've been wanting to try it and the time was right. I went with a friend. The inside was homey and they invited to sit where we would like. They brought menus and let us mull over them for a bit. Water arrived promptly and we both ordered a glass of honey wine! First drink was potent but delicious. My friend ordered the Yedoro Tibs. This was tender chicken sautéed with rosemary, onions, and peppers with mild or hot berbere sauce. I decided on the combination plate TA #2 so I could try all the things. It was served in njera and had the following items: Yebeg Alchea(tender lamb prepared in niter Kibeh spiced with onions, garlic, ginger root, and curry)Sega Wett(lean beef cooked in berbere sauces seasoned with Abyssinia spices)Dora Wett(chicken breast marinated in lemon, sautéed in niter kibbeh, stewed in berbere sauce with onion , ginger root, garlic, served with a hard boiled egg) Misir wett(red split lentil cooked in berbere sauce and fine herb)spinachyellow beans(garbanzo split beans flavored with curry and herbs)carrots and green beansHouse salad My favorites was the carrots and greens beans followed closely by the Yebeg Alchea(lamb). It had a nice spice. Hot but not too hot. I ordered mild. I couldn't have handled the hot! Food came out very fast and they included a separate dish of njera for eating our meals. This is the sour fermented flat pancake like bread that is spongy. In Ethiopian culture you use the bread instead of utensils. Overall it always a great experience and I'd definitely return.

Very delicious, great service, very fast. Definitely going to go back again sometime soon

Amazing food and service. This is a must have spot in the City. If you're looking for a real authentic meal, here's your place
