I have eaten here on multiple occasions and all have consistently impressed me. This restaurant is unique to the area and it’s atmosphere is very relaxed with respectable service. My partner and I do very much enjoy this spot and it’s awesome Ethiopian food. We started with Veggie Sambosas that are perfect: crisp fried creamy potato and carrot.

I will start with a disclaimer: Cafe Abyssinia is not an experience for everyone. However, if you have been looking to explore new horizons in cuisine, this is a great place to expand with. I have yet to be disappointed by any of the meals. Personally, Lamb Alicha and Wat are my favorite, but Gored Gored and all the other options are great! I highly encourage this place, the service is good and the food is great. It may not look like much on the outside, but it’s a great dining experience!

We were visiting New Orleans for the holiday weekend, and we were looking for something on the 4th of July. We saw this place was open and decided to try it out. They have a little outdoor seating and in doors. We got the chicken tibs. It came with a side of collard greens which was a surprise. The one dish ended up being $18. The flavor was pretty good. A little on the pricier side for the amount of food but definitely an enjoyable experience for a mom and pop restaurant!

We were walking dow Magazine street and spotted this restaurant and walked in since we have never tried Ethiopian food. Our server was Ermias and she was very friendly and helpful in answering our questions. We were not that hungry and looked to share a dish and she suggested we try Doro Wat which is the national dish of Ethiopia. We got the Chicken Doro wat and it came with their bread and lentils . It was pretty good and glad we stopped by.
