I had the Doro Tibs, with two veggie sides and beef sambusas. It was all delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant to those looking for a fantastic Ethiopian meal

The best Ethiopian restaurant in the country. Nothing more needs to be said. Kitfo and injera worth dying for. Definitely worth the huge wait. The service is incomparable, the smiles unforgettable.

Been coming here for over 15 years, a loyal customer since the University Avenue days. The food is always wonderful, the service is always kind, and the portions are always large. Highly recommend if you want a delicious, amazing, memorable meal! I don't have a lot of Ethiopian food to compare this to, but out of all of the Rochester area Ethiopian restaurants, Abyssinia is the best! Can't wait to come back!

Lovely woman running the Front of House. Very warm and fun to talk to, if you understand the history of Ethiopia. The W’et dishes are vegan and are to die for!! 10/10!!

what a beautiful and cozy restaurant with absolutely amazing food!! my family and I have never tried Ethiopian food before and we were so delighted with a platter of all kinds of vegan options. eating with the sourdough bread was such a great experience and we loved the format of eating altogether from one large dish. we could taste the quality of the spices- we learned from the friendly staff that the dishes are spiced in Ethiopia! i recommend this place to anyone in need of delicious comfort food or to try something new :)

One of my favorite places for vegan options. Excellent coffee with or without sugar! Servers are polite and attentive and food is authentic and delicious. My favorite it the timatim salata 😍 but everything is well seasoned and delicious! It's real Ethiopians in the kitchen and serving your meals, that's how you know the food is real! ❤️

Food is good, though you need to know a bit about the food in order to place a food order.
They had several large groups when we were there on a Saturday evening, and they could not handle the load. Very long wait for a reservation, waitress service and the food.
Once the food came, we enjoyed the food.

great food and great service. never disappointed with the food quality or quantity. staff is friendly. dining room is spacious. I recommend you bring a sweater on your visits as it was quite cold. I had to leave my jacket on the whole time. The tea helped warm me up though and was delicious.
