"What once was an apartment catering business is now one of the most respected Ethiopian restaurants in Harlem. The veggie combo and meat sampler give guests a great opportunity to try various stews and vegetable-laden sides, and appetizers and dishes like beef awaze tibs and doro wat are traditional staples." - Kayla Stewart, Eater Staff

"Abyssinia is an ideal neighborhood spot to bring a friend or a date if you’d like to share some excellent spicy beef stew off of the same plate. The food here is Ethiopian, extremely good, and all of the vegetable dishes are vegan. Get the meat or vegetable combo, and between the different stews, injera bread and vegetable sides, you’ll have a ton of food for around $20 per person." - neha talreja, hannah albertine, bryan kim, willa moore, sonal shah
