Ethiopia is one of the oldest nations in the world, so they should have perfected their food by now right? At the Abyssinian restaurant you can decide for yourself. Here they serve up traditional Ethiopian cooking, their secrets brought directly to us from the horn of Africa. Start off with the sauteed onion puree on ghee and berbere spice with a touch of tomato sauce, served with injera bread. Then move on to lentils cooked slowly in a flavourful light sauce with a blend of African spices. Or if you'd prefer a more meaty option, go for the finely chopped prime beef seasoned with mitmitta and spiced ghee, authentically served raw. With African music, ethnic decor and a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere, this is a great place to test the spices of the old mountain empire.

Really Tasty
Really enjoyed a meal here. Had a rabbit like stew, nice and spicy along with a prawn curryish dish. Both very tasty and was pretty cheap.

African fare with flair from the heart of deepest, darkest Kensington
What better way to connect with another person than to break bread together? Owing to its unique consistency, the injera bread on which the banquets here are served need only be torn, not broken, but the principle remains. Order to share and bog in fearlessly.
