“ Wonderful service, delicious, authentic Ethiopian cuisine. Taste, and see, so good! ”

“ This is your sign to try Ethiopian food! Abugida will be one of the best places to experience Ethiopian food. The vegetable Sampler is a great way to try all kinds of different vegetarian sides. It’s mainly lentils, potatoes and greens! It has Indian influence and you can taste the curry in the dishes. The beef tips are a good way to try a very traditional African meal, they were so flavorful and mixing it with greens was just the bet combination! When you go there ask for the African honey wine. I don’t believe it’s on the menu! It was so good. If you had Mead before, it will remind you of it. Just be a little patient with the service, it’s a small family run business! ”

“ Awesome service, and the food was amazing! Had the vegetarian sampler with extra injera so yum. First time trying Ethiopian food and it lives up to its reputation. The atmosphere here is great too, lots of unique artwork & sculptures from Ethiopia. ”

“ It's a small place, so it doesn't seat a lot of people. The chef takes his time and prepares each meal perfectly. It can take a while to get your food but it is worth it! Each dish that comes out is meticulously prepared and looks exactly like the pictures on the web. ”

“ If you are looking for good Ethiopian food, you have found the right place. I ordered the doro wet, tomato salad and extra Injera ( you dont need extra injera) Delicious is all i have to say, The salt was just right and the chicken was NOT overcooked, it was just right. This toppled, with the cheerful staff, kind made me make this place as my go to for Ethiopian food. The portion was just right, the sauce, DELICIOUS by itself .The tomato salad is really good, i cant wait to try it with tortilla chips. You don't have to believe me,just try this restaurant for yourself. Ambiance is relaxing, clean, homely and inviting. Love it and will return. I had tried Doro wet at a different ethiopian restaurant n there's was too salty, and the chicken tasted old and overcooked so the difference for me is night and day and thats why this is my new to go restaurant. ”

“ I love this family-run business! It’s authentic with friendly staff and flavorful and filling food. I would’ve loved to have had a dessert option on the menu, but the Ethiopian tea was a nice finish to the meal. I’m excited to return with friends and family! ”

“ Abugida Ethiopian Cafe & Restaurant is an absolute delight! The food is incredibly authentic and bursting with bold flavors. My sister started with Yemisir Sambusa. My niece, who is usually very picky, ordered the Lamb Tips--tender lamb sauteed with rosemary, onion, and pepper (she chose the mild berbere sauce) and she loved every bite. I had the Doro Wat, a tender chicken leg simmered in Ethiopian herbed butter, garlic, onion, and berbere, served with a boiled egg. The side of yellow lentils was the perfect addition, and I loved the personal touch when they poured the chicken over my injera at the table. My vegan sister had the vegetable platter and couldn't have been happier with her choice. I'll definitely return whenever I'm in the mood for something to awaken my palate. Highly recommend! ”

“ This was our first experience with Ethiopian food. Most Americans are not familiar with communal dining. We were a party of 8, and it was my husband’s birthday. From beginning to end, we loved every minute of our dining experience. The food was outstanding. We tried the Yesega Sambusa (ground beef filling) for appetizers, it was crisp and crunchy and delicious. My Dad, Mom and nephew shared a Vegetarian Sampler and a Meat Lovers Combination together. My nephew also got an Aybe, fresh Ethiopian cheese. Our friend ordered Kitfo, which was one of the most amazing, melt-in-your-mouth dishes I’ve ever tasted. My brother and sister in law ordered Lamb Tibs and Yedoro (chicken) Tibs. My husband and I got Doro Wet, one of the most famous African dishes known from Ethiopia. We also got Doro Alecha, Beef Tibs, and a Vegetarian sampler as well. It came with Kik Alecha (lentils or yellow split pea curry), potatoes with carrots, Tekil Gomen - a cabbage dish with carrots and jalapenos, Yemisir Kik Wat (red lentils cooked with berbere), collard greens Gomen, and beans. Each of these dishes had their own unique flavors and it was really awesome food! All of these came laid out on beds of injera bread, which soaked up the flavors of the different dishes and was absolutely delicious! Plenty of extra fluffy injera was also served in baskets. We finished with Ethiopian coffee and Ethiopian tea. The tea was lightly spiced with cinnamon, cardamom, orange and cloves, it was delicious! The coffee was among one of the best coffees I’ve tasted, they brewed it and poured it from beautiful black coffee pots. When they brewed it, we could smell the coffee and also frankincense in the room, which was lovely. They didn’t have dessert, but since it was my husband’s birthday, they allowed us to bring in a small cake that was delicious with the coffee. We want to specially thank Yolita and Dawite and their friend who hosted us and introduced us to all this wonderful food!! The service was awesome, the food was incredible, and it was such a delightful dining experience! ”
