Abugida Ethiopian/Eritrean Restaurant & Lounge — Restaurant in Toronto

0/5

Based on my experience, I don’t recommend this place at all.

Sunday 27 March 2022 21:17 food arrived 2:45 payment.

First time at an Ethiopian restaurant. Food was super cold. Anugida Kafto Beef was tasteless. Server didn’t care. She doesn’t know the menu. Doesn’t know the language. She would walk off in the middle of the conversation. Oh and get that, we asked to split the bill and she brought one receipt, and in the end she asked us to use our calculator so that she could insert the amount on the card machine. In addition to that, I asked a customer receipt 3 times and she pretended to not understand. Then, she asked me to take a photo because she can’t print it. I then told her the service is really bad and she showed me attitude and left.

Paid 20.33 + no tips. Left the restaurant with an empty stomach and a bladder...

A Hidden Gem!

Abugida Lounge is an absolute gem! Good job, Elsa! The food is incredibly flavorful and authentic—every bite feels like a celebration of culture and tradition. The Ethiopian injera (Extra $$$) is soft and fresh, and the combination platters are perfect for sharing and trying a bit of everything.

The staff is welcoming and attentive, and the atmosphere is vibrant yet relaxed—perfect for both casual dinners and nights out. My favorite is the taste of the food; it resembles homemade food, the way I like it. We tried the quanta, cornis, & meat combo multiple times and were not disappointed on any occasion; the portion sizes were generous! Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy delicious Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisine in a warm and friendly setting. We’ll...

2025 Food is consistently good at Abugida. Frequented the establishment several times in 2024 but did not always have time to write reviews.

We called the restaurant directly to order pick-up and avoid additional & exorbitant fees charged by apps. Please note the prices on the restaurant's own website are incorrect. Understand prices have gone up a lot durinf Covid but the website needs to updated. For that reason, we knocked off a star.

2023 Excellent Ethiopian restaurant. Food is simply delicious. We had #8 Chembelala and #27 Yebeg Tibes. They do not cut the injera as many other Ethiopian restaurants do in Toronto, which is great as we prefer to tear off pieces ourselves. Portions are generous and priced fairly. Service is fast. The lady who took our phone order was polite....
