Ethiopian Restaurants near Tempe, AZ

“We love it here. Wonderful food, great people. It opens 4-10p every day except Monday it's closed. We followed what Maps said and came at 3p on Saturday and it wasn't open yet 😭💔we will have to come back another day 🙏🏽“

“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.“

“What an incredible restaurant! We had the 10-side vegetarian platter and Ethiopian coffee, and everything was truly and completely incredible. All the food was delicious, fresh, and the portion sizes were perfect. There were two of us eating, and we were able to try everything there was to offer in a shared platter, which was a lot of fun! The dining room and ambience are fantastic. Overall, we were so incredibly impressed! If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. You have to come try this place!“

“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.“
