Piassa Restaurant & Mart

"If you're looking for authentic Ethiopian food then this is the spot. It helps to go with someone that knows how to order or is possibly Ethiopian but normal everyday people can figure the menu out for sure. Also they have helpful staff. The outside of the building is a little sketchy but sometimes those are some of the best places. The inside looks like a little village and had a cool vibe. The food was served in a unique way and the seating was nice and private. We would like to explore the menu more on a return visit. I would also mention that the pricing was very good for the amount of food that you get."

"The food is outstanding. Overwhelmingly delicious. This is one of my favorite places to go. It's very authentic, I think. Unfortunately, the service is as well. This feels like a genuine ethnic cuisine in a culture with a slower pace of life and without American standards of customer service. I will still come here gladly, and I highly recommend you do too. But note that things might take longer than you might expect."

"I’ve lent my patronage to Piassa many times.. The food, the decor, and service are always top notch. Recently, there has been an uptick in Ethiopian political drama and Piassa has unfairly suffered because of this. The negative reviews posted on their business listings are not from actual customers. Those reviews have been left by people within the Ethiopian community who have nothing better to do but lounge around and deliberately attempt to sabotage and alienate innocent, hardworking people who don’t conform to their politically deranged views. Leave politics where they belong and leave these hardworking people alone. This establishment remains a great place to have delicious and authentic Ethiopian food with an atmosphere that takes you back to the country without leaving Atlanta. Highly recommend it!"

"***Don't get diarrhea when you eat here. That's what I got here. As Ethiopian, this restaurant is the most disgusting, dirty, stinky, and I am very ashamed of it. We've told the owner to fix the problem, but it is getting worse. They even increased the price of those unhealthy and disgusting foods, which is not even worth a few bucks. I suggest don't go to the restroom because you even get dirtier and contaminated. I don't know why the county health department let them open this restaurant."

"This place was one of the coolest places I’ve ever been the owner is amazing!!!! Me and my group came down Atlanta for spring break and this has been the highlight of our trip! The coffee is amazing and they both toast and grid the beans in house, if you love good coffee and amazing hospitality please try it out!!!!! They even let us dress up in traditional Ethiopian dresses!!!!"
