Wow!! I have always loved Ethiopian food, and each Ethiopian restaurant I've been to is different but in a good way! I had the vegetarian dish, and oh my gosh. It's impossible to decide which is your favorite because they are all soooo good! The potato salad, beet salad, red lentils, and yellow split peas were probably my favorites. And of course, the injera was to die for!
Generous portions & the food always slaps. I got the veggie combo that I got three separate meals out of ?

Such a delightful ? place to visit with family or friends. It's halal and delicious!! The Owner are so sweet and caring they pour love into the food, and always greet us like family when we arrive. Top tier service.Kid-friendliness: The children love the greens, beets and potatoes.
This has always been my favorite Ethiopian restaurant. The vegetarian combo is amazing, so flavorful. I have enjoyed every meat dish I've had there as well but I love all the veggies so much I usually get the vegetarian combo. The spaghetti dish is easily another favorite. The staff is so friendly and helpful.
If you have been to ethiopia, you know that this food is not exactly ethiopian. Customer service is lacking. Judging from what's on this menu and what we got and our interaction with the owner, I believe it is not run by Ethiopians. Or at least someone who is knowledgeable enough to cook real ethiopian food.

First time visiting. It was a great experience, and the food was awesome. TRY THE LAMB!
Saucy beef, fall of the bone chicken, homemade greens, nourishing bread, wonderful service, smiling faces, and a one of a kind cultural and culinary experience.

Ethiopian food is a rare find here, and at Abyssinia, it feels like enjoying a meal at home with family. The owners are incredibly kind and patient as they recommend dishes. Sadly, I did not get any pictures of the food because we devoured it so quickly! I recommend getting a family platter with a few different meat options so you can taste multiple dishes. Everything is delicious, from the cabbage to the meat to the spiced tea. The location is a bit hidden in a plaza off of Poplar, so don't miss this place!

This is Memphis' best kept secret. Ethiopian cuisine is DELICIOUS, and Abyssinia does an excellent job of representing their country's rich culinary culture. I have never been disappointed by a meal at Abyssinia, and this restaurant is on my itinerary every time I come back to Memphis. I tell my friends not to die without experiencing Ethiopian cuisine. These flavors have added joy to my life.
Best Ethiopian restaurant in town no doubt. The warm hospitality and inviting ambiance made the meal even more memorable. Highly recommend trying their doro wat and their beef tibs for an authentic taste of Ethiopia. Can't wait to return for another delicious adventure!
