Les Saveurs d'Abyssinie — Restaurant in Paris

We enjoyed our food somewhat here and felt it was quite reasonably priced even though it was completely inauthentic. Unfortunately, there was very little about the food that was authentic. We’ve spent a month traveling around Ethiopia and, as Ethiopian food is our favorite cuisine in the world, have eaten it countless times in the USA and in other countries. This food was missing most of the spices we’re used to tasting and the injera, which MUST be made from TEFF, had zero teff in it whatsoever, as even our server acknowledged. That’s like serving sushi but using barley instead of rice as the bed for the fish. Unacceptable. We were very disappointed. We have no way of believing those reviewers Who claim this to be authentic. Either they’ve never had authentic Ethiopian food or are simply being nice to their...

Great Ethiopian food. The restaurant is quite small. Make sure to call and ask before coming as it might be already full. I would recommend the mixed plate where you’d have different meats and flavors. Yo can as well add the lamb which quite delicious.

The waiters are as well really nice and friendly.

For those who never had Ethiopian food, it is spicy, eaten by hand using a kind of thin pancake...

Aujourd’hui, on vous emmène en Ethiopie, aux Saveurs d’Abyssinie, pour essayer des goûts et même une façon de manger vraiment différents !

On est super bien accueillis par Mileya, la propriétaire, qui nous parle de l'Ethiopie et de sa cuisine.

Sur les conseils de Mileya, on commence par l'originale salade de lentilles, qui est une sorte de houmous de lentilles, délicieux.

Mais il faut absolument prendre les assortiments en plats: le "yefisig beyaynetou" (“assortiment de viandes”) et le "yetsom beyaynetou" (“assortiment de légumes). Ils sont servis en petits tas sur une grande galette éthiopienne moelleuse.

On mange avec les doigts, en déchirant la galette et en y roulant chaque mets. C'est le partage absolu !

Et c'est délicieux avec tellement de saveurs différentes, parfois douces, parfois relevées.

A la fin on en a plein les doigts, mais qu'est-ce que c'est bon !

On a même goûté le Tedj, l'hydromel éthiopien.

Un repas délicieux et original, un bel accueil, et des prix doux, allez-y...
