Abyssinia Restaurant

"I love Abyssinia’s food. I had never tried an Ethiopian menu until my daughter introduced me to it. Now we have been lunching here monthly on the weekend, when it is very quiet. We always get the same thing, which for me is raw beef, wonderfully spiced. I have become known as Kitfo (raw beef) Mama. My daughter orders an array of vegetarian choices, and then we share. There is something very pure about the food, and the family is very sweet. I highly recommend it to those with an adventuresome palate."

"Been coming here for over 15 years, a loyal customer since the University Avenue days. The food is always wonderful, the service is always kind, and the portions are always large. Highly recommend if you want a delicious, amazing, memorable meal! I don't have a lot of Ethiopian food to compare this to, but out of all of the Rochester area Ethiopian restaurants, Abyssinia is the best! Can't wait to come back!"

"The food was wonderful here! Our waitress was so nice and was able to explain the food to us since we had never had Ethiopian food before. The coffee was great too. We'll definitely be coming back."

"Food was amazing. We got the vegetarian dish with 10 different meals, each with great flavor. We also got sambusa the beef option, very tasty and filling. Nice quiet atmosphere, friendly staff, and definitely would come back again!"
