"Another win for Harlem USA! We were intentional about supporting a black business for our Kwanzaa gathering and Abyssinia Ethiopian Restaurant exceeded our expectations!Our first time dining at this location and it was a wonderful experience especially since we were a large group celebrating Kwanzaa. The staff was very warm and friendly, accommodating of all our requests and always with a smile. We had an amazing time.The food was delicious, not too spicy, oily or salty and very reasonably priced. I had the Veggie Combo for one about $20+ bucks that comes with string beans, lentils, collard greens, chick peas, cabbage and split peas. You can swap out any one of those items and double up on others. For example I swapped out the collard greens and got two servings of chick peas instead all served with a side of Injera (Ethiopian bread like wrap) which also comes with a gluten free option. The avocado salad was pretty good except for the tangy dressing which I felt was an acquired taste. I’d have it just plain next time. Everything was absolutely deelish overall!Remember you’re eating with your hands to have the full experience!Wheelchair accessible and free street parking but plan ahead as per usual NYC life? Would definitely recommend and we’ll be back for sure.Thanks for the outstanding service. Vegetarian options: Veggie Combo delivers a win! Parking: Took a couple circles around the block but found street parking on Saturday night in Harlem!"

I have been going to Abyssinia for years!! Food had been consistent. The staff always on point. Family business are always the best. RIP to the old man. God bless the wife’s hand.
Felipe
Great place, great food and very reasonable price. We ordered a veggie and meat combo and it was big enough for me and my wife. The waitresses were very kind and we felt very pleased. Highly recommend!

Absolutely adore Ethiopian food and how the vegetarian offerings are typically vegan. We normally get the Abyssinia veggie combo as it includes beets. Tons of tasty options, the fossolia is my favorite hands down. View menu

This was my first time trying Ethiopian food. It was delicious! I ordered pickup, and as soon as I entered I was nicely greeted by staff. The restaurant itself looked beautiful. Great service and amazing food. Highly recommend if you’ve never tried Ethiopian food.

This is one of the best Ethiopian foods for NYC. Trust me, in Ethiopian. The injera is authentic (if you see injera that is white vs gray, you know you’re getting played). Their Kitfo and Derek tibs is really good and my go-to. Only thing I’ll say is they use a bit too much butter. Vegetarian options: Ask for Veggie combo View menu

Little pocket of goodness damn this place rocks and was the perfect place to stop with a few out of towners while seeing a show close by. I legit couldn’t stop eating. Everything was flavorful, cooked perfectly and the service was wonderful. Great Ethiopian food best I’ve had in nyc. Will be back if I’m in the neighborhood.

I scarfed it in my car on the way to something, but the dining room is lovely, and I'm coming back for Mother's Day with my injera-addicted mother. I haven't had Ethiopian food this fresh, this lovingly prepared, or this scrumptious in AGES. RUN don't walk there. The end. Vegetarian options: Chickpea and cabbage/carrot veg sides are scrumptious as well!
