Abol’s took over Elsa’s recently. The food and service are excellent. The full menu is back, including gluten free injera. We miss Elsa and Haile, but glad for Abol’s to continue the tradition. Best in KC. Highly recommend!

We get take out here all the time. It tastes like delicious home made mouth watering food. Our favorite is the veggie soup and any vegetarian platter.

The meal was incredibly delicious, and the new owners' hospitality was outstanding. My family and I enjoyed the veggie combo, beef tibs, and special kitfo – it was absolutely fantastic.

We ate at Abol today and the food was excellent. Every dish had the right amount of seasoning and it reminded me of home. We had the veggie combo and the special kitfo. We also had the Ethiopian coffee and baklava. The service was attentive and friendly. I highly recommend it.

Well let me tell you even the water is great. I am not an expert on the cuisine for I do not cook and I do not eat out that often & try new things. I took a chance because I love little out-of-the-way places & suggested to a friend that we should try it out. 100% satisfied and I enjoy eating with my hands. ahhhhhhhhhhh made me feel as if I were in the Middle East. Great place and very good food and people who greeted us. GO GO GO you won't be disappointed.

The restaurant has new owners and the non-vegetarian entrees are back on the menu. Unfortunately the food is not as tasty. We ordered tibbs and awaze tibbs, which used to have a stew/curry texture but this time was more like an Americanized beef and onion stir fry. I suspect the owners are new to the business and the restaurant will improve over time.

Many of the vegetarian dishes are also vegan, just ask to make sure.Vegetarian options: Some dishes are even vegan.

Definitely quality food. It’s ran by a married couple and the wife is a very talented cook.
One of the most disappointing dining experiences I’ve ever had. We were upcharged 3x the price without knowing, food was cold/bland, the service was slow, we got asked to be quiet, and they asked other customers to leave at 7pm bc they ran out of food on a Saturday. Very uncomfortable and confrontational. Sad end to what was a hidden gem.

Delicious food, but very confusing when ordering. The menu says you can order a main dish and you get two sides. My husband and I each wanted to try different main dishes and order our own choices of sides. For some reason the owner kept telling us we should do it a different way. It was pretty frustrating, but the food was good.

ALL VEGETARIAN MENU NOW! The menu has been updated to be all vegetarian. We each had the veggie combo and it was delicious! There was one man working on the floor and we were greeted and sat quickly. The food came out quickly and was very good. There were three parties total so it was pretty quiet with some music playing on the TV. If you don't mind the lack of meat, I recommend!

The food was absolutely delicious and the older gentleman working there was very polite. I very much enjoyed the samosas as well.

As mentioned earlier, the menu has changed and now all vegetarian. We ordered two veggie combo. We wanted to order one combo but the waiter (an old man with heavy accent) said that it would not enough food for two people. When our order came, we found a fly on our food, and a gnat in a roll of injera. It was so gross!!We lost our appetite. On top of that the lentil was not cooked, and the collard green tasted spoiled. We also asked for hot chili or sauce, the waiter said we should order it. We did not understand what he meant by it. When I asked again, he said the hot sauce is $15.00!! but he corrected $1.50. We don't recommend this place!! Expensive, definitely not worth the price!
