Abay Ethiopian Restaurant Bar: Experience Authentic Ethiopian …
Reviews
However, the experience has been bad – had to wait at least 20mins, the espresso machine made loud noises and in the end the waitress tried to overcharge us.
And no way to order meat as a side
When it came time to pay, I only found out after the transaction that they had actually overcharged me $40 for this plate, which was a shock. The portion itself was disappointing – it was packed with injera, making up most of the plate’s weight, and had hardly any meat or veggies. To make it worse, the food tasted stale, And you can tell the food was not fresh, like they gave us the end of the night, bottom of the barrel scraps!
I also sat at the bar, where I ordered a whiskey and a beer, but after receiving my drinks, the bartender never returned, leaving me waiting another 25 minutes in a very loud environment. On top of that, I felt uncomfortable due to the cold mean stares from other patrons at the bar, something I’m not used to experiencing with other African brothers. Even the white family seated near the window by the entrance looked uneasy, likely having wandered in as travelers given the restaurant’s proximity to the airport.
Being an African American man, i was very disappointed because Ethiopian food is some of the best cuisine in the world, and it’s a shame this place misses the mark with poor service and a lack of desire to include outsiders. To my Ethiopian brothers and sisters: let’s do better, and create a space where everyone feels welcome.
Food: Flavor was good. The beef was chewy but the chicken was tender.
Service: Expect some wait time. Charged us for a drink we didn’t order but oh well.
Price: Expensive. There’s a $2 charge to pay with a card but the waitress didn’t ask us if we’d be paying with cash or card. It was $45 for the large beef and vegetable combo. So it was $70 with tax and tip for the combo dish and 2 coke cans.
I can see why the place was pretty much empty when we got here. It’s good but it’s expensive.
The atmosphere was cozy, welcoming, and full of cultural charm. Traditional music played softly in the background, and the decor transported us straight to Ethiopia. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxed meal with friends or a cozy date night.
To top it all off, we ended our meal with the traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony. The coffee was rich, aromatic, and served with etan (incense), which added such a beautiful and calming touch to the experience. You can really feel the hospitality and heart in every detail here.
Highly recommend. I’ll definitely be back (probably tomorrow )
The waiter recommended the veggie and meat platter and it was the perfect intro for somebody who’s never eaten here! The only thing I wish this place had was somebody to sit down and eat this food with me! I was on a solo trip for work and the serving sizes here are MASSIVE definitely recommend splitting a platter.
