Review by Josefina McLaughlin

Abyssinia in Louisville is a delightful gem for Ethiopian cuisine! 🌟 The cozy atmosphere immediately makes you feel at home. I tried the beef sambusas, and they were a true highlight - crispy and flavorful! Also, don't miss the Abyssinia Comfort Smoothie; it's a refreshing treat unlike anything I've had before.

The staff were incredibly friendly, even chasing me down to return a forgotten bag! The quick service made it perfect for a nice lunch. Can’t wait to return for more amazing bites! 😋✨
