Abyssinia Ethiopian

Decided to try this when my g/f and I were in the mood for some ethnic cuisine and Abyssinia offered a coupon on coupons for Indy. I don't remember the names of the dishes, but we got #1 and 21, which were recommended by our server. 1 was beef based and 21 was lamb. You can get many of the same dishes with beef, lamb, chicken, etc. The food wad absolutely delicious. I couldn't stop thinking about it all day. I will definitely be coming back here. The experience overall was very interesting. As notes, you eat with your hands here and scoop up the food with this somewhat sour, pancAke thin bread that is steamed. I didn't care for the bread by itself (it feels like a sponge), but that's not how...

Great food. I've eaten here a few times, and the service and food have always been stellar. Get a combo, so you can try all sorts of yummy Ethiopian dishes. If you ask for a fork, they'll bring you one, but don't ask for a fork. Eat it with your hands like it's meant to be eaten. Probably not a place to go with your OCD, germaphobe boyfriend. My only complaint? The price. Lentils and dried beans are one of the most inexpensive proteins on the planet. That's why they are featured so prominently in many world cuisines. I know spices are pricey, and so is rent, but I really think they could up the portion size while keeping their prices the same to little ill effect. That said, I think the food...

Delish!. I highly recommend a sampler if you've never been here before. Actually, we just asked the waitress to bring us what was good and spicy (as we're not picky and will eat ANYTHING , and she brought a veggie sampler, a meat sampler, and an additional goat entree. Yes, you scoop up the foods with your hands and spongy injera bread, and yes, the meat isn't deboned, but that's exactly why it's authentic and fun! Our waitress was fabulous and very accomodating, the food was excellent (ask for spicy! , and the prices were very reasonable. We'll be back!

This place was fantastic! Please go with an open mind if you are not a regular to ethnic cuisine. Yes, you eat with your fingers, the pace is slower, and the meat has bones. That is no reason to skip this restaurant. The cook will come to your table at least once during your visit. The portions are enormous. My wife and I each chose a taste dish, a.k.a. sampler, for one and we took home ample leftovers. Word of caution, the Ethiopian wine is rather alcoholic. However, both the authentic wine and beer were excellent complements to the meal.
