This was our first time here. And a day later my family and I are still talking about how amazing it was. The tea, the food, the service, the staff….we went in not knowing what to expect, with an open mind and an appetite the extremely friendly staff walked us through the menu and every bite was amazing. I’ve had Ethiopian food one other time and it doesn’t hold a candle to these folks. We will be back. Thank you for a great experience and delicious food.

Amazing experience. The food was incredible ,flavorful and well portioned. The chef and bartender were both passionate about their creations, taking the time to give us some details about their creations. We’re so happy to have taken our first dive into Ethiopian cuisine and will certainly be back. I’ll also note that most of the menu is gluten free and celiac safe.

I love Abyssinian Kitchen and always make a point to stop here when in Portland. On my last visit, I noticed the portion size seemed smaller, or maybe the prices had just gone up. It felt more like a snack than a dinner, and cost $25 with the 20% gratuity they added. Food, service and atmosphere are genuinely top-notch, but I probably wouldn’t go back given the price to food ratio and mandatory tip. There are plenty of other great Ethiopian restaurants in Portland.

Very highly recommended. My wife and I stopped in on Wednesday night. We shared a traditional combination of beyaynetu and awaze tibs. And, OF COURSE, injera, the incredible spongy bread at the heart of the cuisine. Abyssinian Kitchen’s injera is the real deal, soft yet stretchy, with a comfort-food flavor of grain. Just right to tear into strips to snatch up bite-sized morsels of the meal.
Beyaynetu is a combination of greens, vegetables, and dahl-like legumes. Each uniquely spiced. The greens cooked just right, still a little snap, and delightfully spiced. The red lentils mashed and the split peas quite soft but not mashed, both dishes distinctively and pleasantly spiced. The mixed veg was mostly cabbage and stand-out deliciously spiced. I would come back for that alone! The awaze tibs, small bits of tender beef in a luscious onion/tomato/pepper sauce, was amazing. The server (owner I think) was super friendly.
If you know Ethiopian/Eritrean cuisine, you will be impressed by Abyssinian Kitchen. If you’re not familiar, you will be happily surprised.

Vegetarian food review. I love it. The food is tasting even better than I remembered. The service is as usual…. Amazing. The lentils and vegetables and sambusas are my fav. I hope you love it just as much as I did. If you are with someone, order 1 platter. It’s perfect for sharing.

There are very good reasons for so many five star ratings. The warm heart of this place veritably oozes from the atmosphere, the service, the food.
We arrived, a party of 7 with no notice and they accommodated us effortlessly. Most of us were experiencing Ethiopian food for the first time. Our kind server guided us through the entire menu.
As it happened, the women indulged in anjera and vegetarian fare, using anjera in traditional fashion. Some items were definitely spicy. The men indulged in lamb and chicken. Not a bit was left on their platter. We all enjoyed everything immensely.
At our server’s suggestion, I ordered a delicious, excellent Pinot noir. Another ordered a quite crisp and lovely Vigonier.
I heard great exclamations over the clever house margarita that uses a traditional pepper which blends in an exciting way with lime and tequila. Get one.

Exquisite food, elegantly served in a warm, light setting.
The injera had perfect texture. The lamb tomato stew, “Kilwa Beggie,” was delicious, tender, hearty, and had a wonderful, complex, slow-burn heat that was very satisfying.
Excellent. Would highly recommend.

Abyssinian Kitchen in Portland is a perfect place for anyone looking to experience authentic Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisine. I had the Beyaynetu, a vibrant and flavorful vegetarian platter featuring an assortment of lentils, vegetables, and perfectly spiced stews, all served atop soft, tangy injera. It’s a feast for the senses and a great way to sample a variety of flavors in one dish.
To top it off, I paired the meal with an African Amber beer from Mac & Jack’s, which was a perfect match. The beer’s smooth, malty notes complemented the rich, spiced flavors of the Beyaynetu beautifully.
The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff are friendly and attentive, making the whole experience feel like a celebration of culture and flavor.

We have been fans of Ethiopian food for many years. In a town with a lot of it Abyssinian Kitchen stands out. Everything was fresh. Even collards were crisp and didn’t taste stewed. Same for all the vegetables. The lamb was tender and impeccably seasoned. The enjira was fresh, and the slight fermented bite let us know it was traditional. The mocktail was complex, not syrupy, and hit the “cocktail” button. Dessert cheesecake was dense, cheese forward and fruity rather than just sugary.
Service was attentive and prompt but not hovering. Atmosphere was relaxed and low key. This is one of our new favorites.
