  • Okay... I may not be from Ethiopia, but I've had my share of Ethiopian food. I've even been to Ethiopia and had the food there (a friend is from Ethiopia). But, this is a place for opinions, and here's mine. Food: For about $10 a dish, I've had much better tasting Ethiopian food - in Chicago, Minneapolis, and Los Angeles (and Addis Ababa). I've been to Abyssinia restaurant about three times, and each time was a subpar performance. I kept hoping each day was a fluke, but the food had always been below average. The veggie combo is questionable. Some parts are okay, like the lentils (misir wat), while other parts smell and taste spoiled like the collard greens (goman). I've also had the shiro which was sometimes gooey and other times pastey. The zil zil tibs (strips of beef) are too tough and chewy, and I was too afraid to try the kitfo (raw/rare beef). As far as I'm aware, zil zil tibs is one of the more popular Ethiopian dishes, and if they can't even get that right, then something is wrong with the cook. The one decent dish I did have was the quanta firfir. But I guess it's difficult to screw up beef jerky. Service: The staff (Ethiopians) are generally friendly, but I think they are skeptical of non-Ethiopians walking into the restaurant. Everytime I went in to order food, they would give me a look, as if to say, "Are you lost?" But would lighten up and smile, when I start ordering food. The food arrvies quickly - about 15 minutes for two dishes. Atmosphere: A very small restaurant, there are about 10 tables designed for 2-4 people, Ethiopian music playing softly in the backgroud, generally all Ethiopians for clientele, the decor isn't very impressive, but again it's a small restaurant. Location: If you blink, you'll miss it. The restaurant is located in a strip mall near a Target store. The only distinguishing feature is the Ethiopian colors (green, yellow, red) running across the front windows. You don't even notice the restaurant's name until you're right next to it, and you're looking for it. Advice: I have yet to find a decent Ethiopian restaurant in Las Vegas. I hope to find one soon, so I can sugget a different place to go to for Ethiopian food. Note: "Google maps" lists this place as "Abyssimia" with the letter 'm', instead of "Abyssinia".
