Abyssinia

I went to this Ethiopian restaurant last night with my family. We are Indians, as you all know that we always prefer to go to Indian restaurants. We have been to Chinese, English and Italian restaurants, but this was the first time wanted to try a different traditional meal which was overall satisfactory. We had never tried Ethiopian food before and really enjoyed it. The service was good and friendly.Food arrived on a huge communal plate with a giant pancake and different types of cooked vegetables and meat. It was amazing, mouth watering and can never forget this huge meal. I bet if two can finish eating the whole meal. We Indians have this sort of pan cake which we called Dosa. Usually South Indians makes this regular for morning breakfast with vegetable sambar and chutney. But this was AMAZING!, and we payed around £13.85 for 3 of us after Taste card discount. Then again, you need more patience for your meal to arrive because they take time to cook freshly which is important. Guys try this once and you will really like it and you would not be disappointed. Trust me!

Hi I am not test your food member good

This has been our favourite local restaurant for 15 or more years. During this time it has changed hands 5 times and food quality fluctuated. A year or so it became Eritrean rather than Ethiopean and quality was hit and miss and the number of customers dropped including those from the eritrean community. Since the start of 2013 it has changed hands and the new owners have both Ethiopean and Eritrean heritage. Food is back to top standards. Time out critics should review this again as the place needs more custom if it is to survive

Lovely place, great food, delightful friendly people. Great to take friends, as you really do share the food! Wear clothes you can wash, eating with injera and fingers gets messy. ;) Ethiopian beer very good, and the decent wine, too.

We went for a Friday pre-theatre meal and really enjoyed our meal. It was empty when we walked in at 6.30pm, but the owner immediately made us feel very welcome. His wife came over and helped us decide: special kitfo (raw beef), a lamb curry and the 5 veg special. The food was absolutely delicious and including wine we paid £30. It's a small and comfy place, groups of Ethiopians arriving during our early dinner. We thought the food was at least as good as that at Addis by Kings X, and Abyssinia is a 15min walk from the Tricycle Theatre!

We went to this restaurant for a mid-week meal and absolutely loved it. The food is excellent (injera (rice pancake) covered with delicious toppings - the vege combo was great) and the drinks are excellent value (£2 for a large, decent house wine). I'd definitely recommend it.
