Welcome to Abyssinia

Our Little Story

Ethiopian cuisine (Amharic: የኢትዮጵያ ምግብ) characteristically consists of vegetable and often very spicy meat dishes. This is usually in the form of wat (also w'et or wot), a thick stew, served atop injera, a large sourdough flat bread(aslso called Injera), which is about 50 centimeters (20 inches) in diameter and made out of fermented teff flour.

Ethiopians eat exclusively with their right hands, using pieces of Injera to pick up bites of entries and side dishes.

Customer Reviews

What our clients say
  • I like the TIBS sauce with flat break called 'Injera'. It was trying and it downtown, Louisville.

    David Smith - Abyssinia customer

  • Even though I was full, it was hard to stop picking at the injera that had soaked up all the flavors from on top.

    Hailu Hagos - Abyssinia customer
