My first Ethiopian food experience, for a birthday/anniversary date night , the summer sojo drink was refreshing, the starter was delicious, spicy and flavourful, main course with lentils, beans and vegetables was cooked very well and thoroughly enjoyable

Unfortunately the food and service were not as good as in the past. My husband’s fish was burnt and covered up with the sauce to hide it. My potatoes were also burnt and so was the sauce that was used in the dish. It was my milestone birthday celebration and our friends and god-sons traveled up from Rosarito to join us. They had never had Ethiopian before. Unfortunately they probably won’t ever again. I was embarrassed. We should have tried one of the other Ethiopian restaurants in the area. Our in-laws are from Eritrea & Ethiopia and have taken us to some amazing restaurants in the Bay area that would have been a better experience with better food and more authenticity of ambiance to introduce our friends to. Of course after you have had authentic Ethiopian food home cooked for you and you love it so much it is disappointing when you can’t share that with others. They were out of tea and my friend really wanted to try the Ethiopian coffee I raved about but they were out of that too.

Great food. As a south Indian, I really enjoyed the flavours and the taste of the food served here. Shares a lot of similarities with Indian food culture, including eating with hand. Tried the shrimp, lamb and chicken platters. The portion size is very generous and often difficult to finish.

We love coming here for Ethiopian food. The Zigni Siga (beef) and Dorho Alitcha Kilwa (chicken) were both delicious but our favorite was the more flavorful Siga. Each dish came with a side dish so we chose the red lentils and the stewed vegetables. All this came on top of injera with more rolled injera. So much food and all delicious!

I’ve never had Ethiopian food before so this was all new to me. The waiter was super patient with us and explained the different dishes and how you should eat them. He brought out a sampling of the side dishes for us to try. I absolutely loved the mushroom over spaghetti squash starter, the mushrooms were well seasoned. We also tried the cubed chicken dish (really tasty) and the beef which was not quite as good but ok. The lentils were also very good. I appreciate that the waiter brought us forks and side plates though I know that’s not the norm. I just can’t eat that much bread without being overly full. I’d definitely come back!

I consider this the premier Ethiopian restaurant in San Diego. Very casual atmosphere and familiarity with regulars makes it a really inviting place to go.

Great food! The owner always comes to check in on the food is! The service is fast and people are nice. Try sambusa, the eggplant and definitely get extra bread.

Wow, absolutely blown away by our dinner at Muzita Abyssinian. A friend referred my girlfriend and I to this place and we were not prepared to have one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in San Diego. The food and flavors were mouthwatering, and the service was top notch without an ounce of pretension. Highly recommend and we can’t wait to come back. Abel is the man!
