Abyssinia Ethiopian Restaurant

First time going to this location as well as eating Ethiopian food. It was absolutely delicious. I do not know what I got however I told the lady serving us to simply bring us something she would suggest for first timers. I know it was lamb rice and red lintels he had chicken rice and red lintels both were amazing. They gave us a cup of spice tea on the house to try. Definitely will be coming back!!

We've been going to Abyssinia for more than a decade! Maybe closer to two. Things change but it's mostly the same excellent injera and amazing lentils and veggies. The spiced tea is wonderful. It was too late in the day for coffee but I would expect it to be excellent.Food: 5/5

Visited this place on Saturday, Jan. 7th to celebrate my best friend recent job promotion. Ordered the Abyssinian spaghetti w/ Lamb and oh my! It was delicious! The service was excellent and had a very nice and cozy atmosphere. I also order a cup of spiced tea and yes, it was just what I needed. Will definitely recommend this place for those who never tried this type of food but want to try something new. You will not be disappointed.

Best Ethiopian food we had in the US!! We stopped there during our roadtrip through TN and weren't expecting much because it was at the peak of Covid and most businesses were closed. Owner was incredibly nice and welcoming! we ended up staying there for hours talking and sharing stories. The food was AMAZING - we got 2 veggie combos in one plate for 3 people and couldn't stop eating because it was so good. Would give 10 stars if I could. Go support them and enjoy these amazing flavors Vegetarian options: Vegan friendly :

Some of the best Ethiopian food I’ve had so far, and the first place that I tried in Memphis. I got the Abyssinia Combo that comes with a beef and chicken dish plus 2 sides. If you aren’t familiar with the cuisine this is a great place to start. I got the cabbage, yellow peas, and spicy red lentils. In my opinion the stars of Ethiopian food are the vegetables and Injera. Everything was fresh and so delicious! Also, make sure you call and order because the only prices are much higher than in person. The meat portions were enough for 2 meals. The service was great! I highly recommend!

Had a great experience there. Food was great. The owner was very nice and recommended what to or not to eat. Very friendly atmosphere . Food was halal too Thanks

What a gem of a restaurant! Hands down, one of the best places I've eaten at in Memphis. We ordered Chicken stew, Chicken Tibes and Lamb Tibes which were served family style. Each and every dish including the veggie side dishes was lip-smackingly delicious! They all paired really well with the soft injera and rice. Special mention of their green beans and carrots dish which is ridiculously tasty. The highlight for me, though, was their hospitality. The owner and the nice lady serving us were kind and friendly. We unknowingly stayed there for hours after dinner talking and didn't realize we had been there past their closing time until much later but were not at all rushed. Overall, excellent food, fantastic service and a very cosy and homely ambience sums up this amazing restaurant. A must try!

Been wanting to try, and finally got to tonight. Had the vegetarian platter. A huge portion for the price. And absolutely delicious. Even my extremely picky boyfriend enjoyed his chicken tibs. A very solid choice for my birthday dinner

Superb food. Owners are lovely people. We drive to or through Memphis specifically for vegetarian dishes from this restaurant. Never disappointed. We love their injera.

Delicious!!! There is nothing more to say other than fantastic Ethiopian food!!! I travel over 2 hours to eat here. Definitely worth the drive!
