Abyssinia is a gem in Philadelphia! 🌟 The cozy atmosphere made it feel like home from the start. I savored the Doro Wat and shared a delicious veggie platter with friends, all wrapped in their fluffy injera - so scrumptious! The coffee is a must-try, too.

One downside: the fish dishes can create a strong smell, so maybe some air purifiers would help. But overall, this spot offers a unique and warm dining experience that’s hard to beat. I can't wait to return! 😊
