Food is PHENOMENAL; get the combo platters. I dream about them regularly. Service is understandably a bit slow as it is a small, presumably family owned joint but entirely worth it. Feels like you're eating in someone's living room and I mean that in the most positive and endearing way.
I still haven't found better Ethiopian food in Philly! Even some places in NYC can't compare.
I will say this - if aesthetics/Instagramability, incredibly attentive wait staff, and super speedy service are what you're looking for... Leave this place off your list.
If you're looking for amazingly flavorful food, and aren't worried about waiting... This place is for you. It's amazing. HIGHLY recommend.

Abyssinia in Philadelphia is a delightful escape into the world of Ethiopian cuisine. This family-run restaurant is all about authenticity and warmth, serving up spicy stews and perfectly spongy injera bread that will transport your senses straight to East Africa. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making every visit a joyous culinary adventure. It’s a must-visit for anyone looking to explore the flavors of Ethiopia in a friendly and enthusiastic setting.
