Ethiopian Restaurants near Tempe, AZ

“Ethiopian Famous Restaurant serves some of the most delicious food I’ve ever tasted — and I’m from Washington D.C., where we have incredible Middle Eastern and Ethiopian restaurants.

We usually order the Nandi Chicken and Lamb — always excellent, perfectly seasoned, and high-quality meat. Last Sunday evening we tried the lamb stew and it was superb.

The owner is so kind, as are her children. We’ve been coming here since before the renovation, and it remains warm, welcoming, and beautifully decorated with authentic craftsmanship.

This is truly our favorite restaurant. Phenomenal food and wonderful people.
I recommend everyone visit this restaurant at least once. I'm hooked. Delicious mouth watering food! 5 star's.“

“Good food, good service. My wife and our friend at both gluten-sensitive, so it was nice that they had gluten-free injera.“

“This was my first experience eating Ethiopian food, and it was fantastic! The menu offers extensive options for vegans and those who prefer healthy foods. My date ordered the vegan combo, and I particularly enjoyed the carrots in the atikilt wot—they were sweet in the best possible way. I ordered the Doro Wat, which was savory and spicy. The injera, a bread that is like a cross between a tortilla and a pancake, was unique and delicious. They serve a variety of drinks, including Mexican Fanta, Sprite, Diet Coke, Coke, and Pepsi. Their traditional tea with honey and ginger was also soothing and a perfect complement to the meal. There's a full-service bar as well. The atmosphere is relaxed and family-friendly, with entire tables of families chatting amongst each other. Every month, usually around an Ethiopian Holy Day, there is a buffet. If you're unsure of what Ethiopian food to try, I recommend starting with the buffet. I will definitely dine here again, especially for breakfast, which I just missed this time! Next time, I'll be ordering the kwanta firfir and scrambled eggs for breakfast—it has my name on it!“

“Tried this place during our stay in Phoenix. The quality and portion size of food was top notch. The person serving us was very friendly and helped us with the details of Somali food that we were eating for the first time. When the food came out, it tasted just divine. Will visit again.“

“The food was exquisite, and the service polite and charming.“

“Amazing food, excellent service, great prices, and a beautiful space. We shared enough food for four people, got a juice, appetizer, and two desserts… all for under $40!! I have insulin resistance and eat gluten free…. This entire meal - including dessert - really fit my needs. Will most definitely be coming back here to try everything on the menu!“

“The food was excellent and so was the service (the woman said her name was AZ, like Arizona, not sure how to spell it but she was so nice!). I highly recommend the Abyssinia Signature so that you can try a little bit of everything (but its definitely made for 6+ people). I will definitely be back. Note - I think they actually close at 7pm and not 10pm.“
