"Egusi was good could've use more of a kick when it came down to the spices. I had gotten the mixed meat which next time I would just do one meat portion. More bones than meat but overall good flavor. The Moi Moi first time trying and it was delicious more spice than the Egusi which I liked. The plantains were delicious as well. I would order again just not so late."
"Even though their food is pricy, it's really worth it. Compared to other african restaurants, their food is a lot. I really like their rice and atadindin, the egusi is very tasty as well. The puff puff, meatpie...., the list is endless. Their food really gives Nigerian vibes. I keep coming back every time. I pray I don't spend my life savings on their food 😩"

"The steak and plantain taste good. The jollof tastes kinda stale today. But usually, the jollof is good. The restaurant is good. Some items can be hit or miss depending on the day tho."
"Generous portions, but the suya misses the mark on authenticity. While you get a lot of food for the price, the suya unfortunately doesn't taste like real suya. It completely lacks that signature smoky, charred grill flavor, and it doesn't even look like it ever touched a grill. On the bright side, the plantains were a 10/10—perfectly cooked. Just be aware that their stock picture is highly misleading; it looks like you get two side orders, but you actually only get one."

"This is the only consistent jamaican food I've experienced. Always a hit and never a miss. The Ackee & Saltfish is fresh and doesnt have the canned taste whether they use it or not. The portions are always plentiful with anything i order, , and the patties are fresh unlike many places I've tried that seem heated up from another day. I love the Beef and cheese Patty . It's a little out the way for me but worth it. "
"Plenty of food for sure. The chicken was tender. I just did not like the taste of Curry Chicken, too bitter like maybe too much allspice or tumeric? The Cabbage mix was more like coleslaw style which I was not expecting. Overall a good value, just not my preference. Also wish these places would throw in a slice of bread or rotti."

I prefer less meat . $19 for small soup in a container :( . Did not taste like regular spicy pepper soup. Was a little watery.

"Lega tibbs very flavorful and plentiful. Two sides also included. This is how lamb tibbs should taste."
"I don't often write reviews but this was disappointing. Quantity and quality seemed off. We spent almost $100 and tibs were salty, dry and veggies combo also felt like it was lacking the typical dynamic flavor that makes ethiopian food so good and we were so excited for it! Quantities were much smaller compared to other restaurants we visit. Our in-person visit was better than takeout but both were long waits. We are huge ethiopian fans and this was disappointing."

"This is the place for delicious Ethiopian food. I've ordered from many other such restaurants in this area and have often been disappointed. But Abyssinia always comes through. The portions are hearty and worth the money, especially if - like me - you enjoy having a nice lunch from leftovers the next day. You can't go wrong with the 16. Doro Wot and 9.

"What a treat. I wasn't sure how well Ethiopian food was going to pack and travel but it arrived in perfect shape. The collection of vegetarian dishes was superb. Spicy but not overwhelmingly so. The Tekil Gomen and Shiro Wat are two of my favorites but their version of Kayser -- the rich, mineral-laden beet dish, was incredible. Just delicious. It was served on injera, as it would be in a restaurant, with several more rounds of the flat bread folded over the top to soak up any sauce that spilled over in transit. Ed I definitely did not need the extra side of injera I ordered. This meal would have fed 2-3 hungry people. There is a smaller sampler for one but I wanted to taste everything. So glad I did. Will definitely order again!! "
"Family Special was delicious, especially the beet dish. Definitely a hearty two meals' worth of food. The Sambusa was tasty as well. The pastry was doughier rather than crispy which was different than most others in the area."
