Abol Ethiopian Restaurant

Love Abol (previously known as Elsa’s). It’s family owned and the staff is really nice. Their sambusa and vegetarian entrees are amazing especially misir wot. Injera is always fresh.

Amazing service, amazing food and I enjoy the brighter atmosphere compared to Elsa's.

Portion sizes are generous. You will be full! Baklava is a prime example. Most restaurants will give you half of the portion that Abol provides.

Just a perfect place!

I had never had Ethiopian food prior to eating here. I tried the samosas filled with lentils and the lentil soup. Both were very savory, and not too spicey. I enjoyed the new flavors of this cuisine.

I just order takeout meat combo. Ethiopian cuisine as you know it is a variety of meat dishes the most important dish is doro wet as a recommendation to the owner if I said meet combo all variety of meat dishes & special doro wet should be included if somebody want to order as a meal that's fine must be aware of the dish but for those who don't know as advertise as a meat combo as culture we sit around the table us a family we eat in Ethiopian culture you should include it every single one of well known meat dishes included in a small portion you don't have to put a whole bunch on the plate.I'm very disappointed and also it is quite chewy please cook the meat all the way and only the color difference all 3 meat dishes were the same!!!! You can do better I believe in you my God bless you and your family!

Had the veggie platter and ate it all myself lol. GREAT food and lovely service.

Lovely spot. We ordered the vegetarian platter and it was a great sample of all of the different options. (Also, plenty for two people) The service was great! Definitely will be back to try some of the meat options.

I’ve eaten here twice and the food was amazing both times! The customer service is always great

Their food is amazing. It tastes different from other foods because the seasonings they use are quite unique. We went there one day, and we will go back! I recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes good food!

I would like to begin this review by apologizing to the Blue Nile, never again will I stray from the wonderful food and atmosphere of the best Ethiopian food in the metro.
Abol service was inexperienced and slow, impatient waitstaff made us feel like we needed to hurry with our order when they finally arrived. Did not listen to our order and failed to include an appitizer we ordered.
Flavors were flat in the chicken doro tib , boring breast meat lightly seasoned. Lentil was good, collards also good, beef portion was small, injera was good.
Just not enough good to out pace the bad, if you want Ethiopian cuisine, I say, go elsewhere.
