Abyssinia Ethiopian Restaurant in Philadelphia is a culinary delight that offers an authentic taste of Ethiopia.
From the moment you step in, you're greeted with warmth and an inviting atmosphere.
The injera and dishes like Doro Wat stand out with their rich flavors and spices, promising a unique dining experience.
Eating with your hands enhances the communal vibe, making every meal here more than just food—it's a cultural journey.
If you're seeking a genuine Ethiopian meal that delights the senses and warms the heart, Abyssinia is the place to go.
Absolutely recommended!

As a vegan diner, this is probably my favorite sit-down restaurant in the area.
The food is scrumptious, I have never left any on my plate.
Sharing the veggie platter with friends is a moment of great beauty.
The injera with their various stews is absolutely delectable, finger-licking-good! Slightly bothersome, smell-wise if anybody nearby orders one of the fish dish (it would help if they had an air purifier)...
but otherwise, this is an amazing atmosphere as well.

I ordered from here a few times and had no problems but today was absurd.
I ordered the Abyssinia 1 combo and a samosa and all I got was this plate of mush and no samosa.
It looks like they mashed up some injera with a bit of meat.
Honestly, I have no idea.
I’m shocked at how bad this is.
I would’ve preferred them cancel the order over handing over this slop.
