Abyssinia Ethiopian Restaurant

As someone who can’t really handle spice, I was a little hesitant to try Ethiopian food after hearing about how spicy it can get, but I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant! The food is amazing and the spice is not too overwhelming. My favorite thing to order is the tibs, AKA the cubed beef. It is perfectly tender and flavorful and their rice is amazing! Definitely give this place a try if you’re in the area.

Delicious!!!!

Great place, great food and very reasonable price. We ordered a veggie and meat combo and it was big enough for me and my wife. The waitresses were very kind and we felt very pleased. Highly recommend!

Another win for Harlem USA! We were intentional about supporting a black business for our Kwanzaa gathering and Abyssinia Ethiopian Restaurant exceeded our expectations! Our first time dining at this location and it was a wonderful experience especially since we were a large group celebrating Kwanzaa. The staff was very warm and friendly, accommodating of all our requests and always with a smile. We had an amazing time. The food was delicious, not too spicy, oily or salty and very reasonably priced. I had the Veggie Combo for one about $20+ bucks that comes with string beans, lentils, collard greens, chick peas, cabbage and split peas. You can swap out any one of those items and double up on others. For example I swapped out the collard greens and got two servings of chick peas instead all served with a side of Injera (Ethiopian bread like wrap) which also comes with a gluten free option. The avocado salad was pretty good except for the tangy dressing which I felt was an acquired taste. I’d have it just plain next time. Everything was absolutely deelish overall! Remember you’re eating with your hands to have the full experience! Wheelchair accessible and free street parking but plan ahead as per usual NYC life Would definitely recommend and we’ll be back for sure.Thanks for the outstanding service. Vegetarian options: Veggie Combo delivers a win! Parking: Took a couple circles around the block but found street parking on Saturday night in Harlem!
