The vegetable combo was delicious and very satisfying. The sambusa and coffee were also excellent. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy dinner at an authentic Ethiopian restaurant.

Delicious authentic Ethiopian food. We shared the Doro Wat (very spicy chicken dish) and Veggie Combo. Both were fabulous. The flavors were rich, complex and spiced just right. The servings were very large and provided lunch the next day. The traditional bread was delicious and perfect for scooping up everything. The service was great, our server was very sweet, patient and helpful in guiding is through the menu. The atmosphere is not great, very basic, like a sandwich shop. I wish they would upgrade, add nicer tables and chairs and decor to make things cozier. Would I return for the food, absolutely! I highly recommend this spot for great authentic Ethiopian food.

I was visiting family from out of town and had a craving for Ethiopian food, so gave this place a try. It was sooo yummy and flavorful! We got the meat and veggie combo, which allows you to taste a bit of everything. The meat portions were big too, so we had some leftovers to take home. Each item tasted unique and nothing was overly spicy. My favorite was the lega tibs! This is a legit hidden gem and I would recommend it to both Ethiopian food lovers and people interested in trying the cuisine — the combo is easily shared among 4 people.

Abol Ethiopian Restaurant: The Taste of True Ethiopia Wow, just wow. I had to write this review immediately because my experience at Abol Ethiopian Restaurant was genuinely incredible. The food is so delicious it’s unbelievable! I have tried Ethiopian food before, but this was the first time I felt like I was eating the real deal. This restaurant sets the standard for authenticity. Every dish, from the deeply flavorful stews to the fresh, tangy injera, felt crafted with passion and traditional expertise. I especially loved the sheer depth of flavor in the Key Wat (spicy beef stew) and the creamy, perfectly spiced texture of the Misir Wot (red lentils). The whole platter was a colorful, aromatic feast. If you are looking for an authentic culinary experience and crave truly delicious, complex flavors, you must visit Abol Ethiopian Restaurant. Stop searching—you've found the real Ethiopian food you've been hoping for! I can't wait to go back.

They are located in an unassuming strip mall but the inside does not match the outside. Once you walk in, you’re hit with wonderful smells and a beautiful space that wants you to sit down. The staff are super nice and the food comes out fast and fresh. Gorgeous colors, wonderful aromas and even better on the tastebuds. And the amount of food you get for the money is an added bonus. They’re somewhat new (only open 4 months), but they’re doing it all correctly. I will be back.
