Another enjoyable meal at Abyssinia to close out 2024. Our neighborhood Ethiopian restaurant, we’ve been coming here since it opened nearly 15 years ago. Family owned and operated, the food, atmosphere, and hospitality always combine to offer an enjoyable and memorable experience. Our usual order is their vegetarian “sampler” plus another main. This evening, that main was gored gored, rare beef cubes in a moderately spicy sauce. Appearances can be deceiving ... that metal plate is about 14” across. As usual, we finished with an Ethiopian coffee. Not far from central Paris, easy to reach on MĂ©tro line 3 or Tram 3b ... steps from the Porte de Bagnolet stop on either line.

Not everyone has an Ethiopian restaurant in their neighborhood and we're exceptionally lucky to have Abyssinia in our Paris neighborhood. It is one of the pioneering places that have brought new life and fresh blood to the 20th Arrondissement. The food is wonderful, and the family that runs it is a great group of people. If you're visiting Paris sometime and need a break from snails, tripe, or kidneys, come here. You'll be welcomed! 5 rue Martin Garat, metro M3 or tram T3b, Porte de Bagnolet stop.

It's a rather small restaurant which helps create a cozy atmosphere. Service was extremly friendly and very attentive (injera never got empty). The wine selection is pretty limited but they serve all kinds of cocktails and ethiopian beer. The mixed vegetarian platter was tasty - the way they fix their potatoes knocked me off my feet. If a chef is capable of preparing a most basic vegetable like that one knows there is great potential.

Perhaps my most bizarre restaurant experience ever. I'd come here as someone had marked it as having vegan options. It has one vegan option (you might as well mark McDonalds as a vegan restaurant). It was a warm evening and with no AC it was a little uncomfortable but the manager seemed nice. I ordered the vegan option. The food came and I tucked in. It was fine. I found the base a bit lemony but have no idea if that's normal. However, a third of the way in I saw a small fly on the food. In my attempts to get rid of it I squished it (didn't mean to actually kill it). I then put it and the surrounding food in a torn piece of the napkin. I considered complaining but thought the fly probably landed on the food just before I saw it so carried on (though with less appetite). When the manager asked me later if I was enjoying the food I felt obliged to mention the fly. This is where the weirdness began.

He told his wife (the chef) who then demanded to see evidence of the fly. I explained it was small but somewhere within the rolled up piece of napkin and at this point she started poking through the mushed up napkin food on my table, still demanding to see the evidence (though I had not actually complained or intimated I would not pay). The manager and his wife continued to imply that the fly did not exist. When I said I'd noticed another fly flying around the manager demanded to know where this fly was too. I found myself in the awkward situation of having to scan my environs for the small fly I had seen before.

Eventually they left me to finish my meal. I was surprised they didn't offer any kind of discount and being a polite Brit I even left a tip (I later discovered tipping isn't the norm in Paris). I had stomach issues the next day. Although I can't be sure it was the food here I certainly wouldn't recommend this place to anyone....

First of all: you'll be amazed by their beautiful decorations, the warm welcome and nice smells.

As is true for other Ethiopian restaurants as well the menue isn't big, but it's plenty enough for everyone to find something.

We had the avocado and tomate starter which was great, after that we got a platter with both our dishes included, vegan and meat option.

Eating Ethiopian is a social thing, it's customary to serve food of one group on a shared platter. (I personally do like the idea and do not mind eating with fingers from a shared plate either)

The waiter clearly pointed out where my vegan side was and which items of both were without animal products. If you are vegetarian or vegan and join tables with omnivore friends and partners and can not stand the idea of it being served on the same plate, you should ask for a separate platter for yourself and they will do that.

The injeras are great and the overall spiciness was just to my liking ( I like it đŸ”„ )

We left there filled, very satisfied, sadly had no room for desert 😞 We try that...

FUYEZ ! On Ă©tait 5, l'un de nous a commandĂ© une entrĂ©e + un plat individuel, un autre a commandĂ© un plat individuel et nous Ă©tions 3 Ă  commander un menu dĂ©gustation. Nous Ă©tions assis sur 3 tables de deux collĂ©es. Donc 3 personnes en face de 2, + une place vide au bout. Les plats : Les plats individuels ont Ă©tĂ© servis avec les menus dĂ©gustation. Quel est l'intĂ©rĂȘt de commander si on se voit imposer ce qu'on mange ? En plus cela a créé un manque d'ergonomie totale car on devait se tordre le dos pour atteindre le plat commun avec les deux personnes qui je le rappelle, on pris des plats individuels... Les quantitĂ©s : Pour la dĂ©gustation, les quantitĂ©s servies par personne tenaient dans une boĂźte de 180g de houmous qu'on achĂšte au supermarchĂ© (viandes et accompagnements compris). Pour les plats, ils ont eu droit Ă  deux cuillĂšres Ă  soupe de viande + sauce (je vous laisse deviner s'il y avait plus de viande ou de sauce) et une cuillĂšre Ă  soupe d'accompagnement (servis dans le mĂȘme plat que tout le reste). L'un d'eux a dit qu'il n'y avait pas assez Ă  manger. Le serveur a donc ramenĂ© deux autres accompagnements mais toujours, en quantitĂ©s restreintes. La quantitĂ© servie en entrĂ©e Ă©tait plus importante que la quantitĂ© servie en plat. Ce qui est totalement illogique ! Nous devions constamment redemander du pain et de l'eau (servie dans un petit vase suffisamment grand pour remplir deux verres). Avant de partir, nous avions remarquĂ© que deux tables de deux personnes avaient commandĂ© des plats dĂ©gustation aussi et les quantitĂ©s Ă©taient bien plus importantes. Je ne sais pas comment l'interprĂ©ter ! Les saveurs : Tout avait le mĂȘme goĂ»t. On ne savait pas si on mangeait de la viande ou du poulet (heureusement qu'il y avait des os dans l'unique pilon auquel on avait droit et ce, mĂȘme en plat individuel). De mĂȘme pour les accompagnements. On ne savait pas ce qu'on mangeait non plus. C'Ă©tait extrĂȘmement Ă©picĂ© et ça gĂąchait les saveurs potentielles qu'il aurait pu y avoir (pour le coup, on n'a pas d'autre rĂ©fĂ©rentiel de la cuisine Ă©thiopienne pour savoir comment est-ce que ça doit ĂȘtre prĂ©parĂ©). Heureusement qu'il y avait du pain et de l'eau pour nous aider Ă  faire passer tout ça... Ah mais non en fait, y en avait pas assez ! On avait le temps de se brĂ»ler le palais avant d'en avoir. Le chou avait un goup de piment et les Ă©pinards, un goĂ»t d'Ă©pinards. Le prix : Ce qu'on a mangĂ© ne vaut absolument pas son prix. Ni la quantitĂ© ni la qualitĂ© n'Ă©taient au rendez-vous. On a dĂ» partir manger ailleurs pour ne...
