Abyssinia Restaurant and Cafe
842 E Indian School Rd, Phoenix, AZ
Crema's Take
“Abyssinia brings an authentic Ethiopian coffee ceremony to Phoenix, where the owner's genuine warmth and hospitality transform a meal into a cultural experience rather than just a transaction. The traditional Ethiopian coffee is the real draw here—served with ceremony and care—paired with generous, flavorful dishes like tibs and beets that transport you straight to East Africa, though you might want to go hungry or bring friends to tackle the abundant portions.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

Incredible food! We got the sampler and the beets and the tibs were my absolute favorite! The table next to us did the coffee ceremony and they said it was a great experience and that the coffee was great. The atmosphere in the restaurant is so welcoming and the decor is so…
I didn’t taste the authentic Ethiopian flavors I’m used to. The food was ok but it’s something I could’ve made at my house. It wasn’t worth the $30+ I spent. Very nice people and cute restaurant but if I’m honest, In my honest opinion- I wouldn’t come back for my Ethiopian fix.
Owner was very hospitable. We had kind of the sampler plate. My wife had the honey Meade, and I had the Ethiopian coffee after. The food was delicious and a LOT. Bring your appetite or a number of guests! We'll be back again!
