A Leeds café and restaurant which offers delicious and fresh Ethiopian food has accumulated hundreds of rave reviews on Google and TripAdvisor.
Abyssinia Café and Restaurant, off the beaten track and tucked away down a residential street in Harehills, opened in 2014 and has since been regularly ranked among the best eateries in Leeds.
Happy customers have raved about the exceptional food, the relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. On the menu are a range of wonderfully colourful lamb dishes, tender chicken legs marinated in lemon, ginger, garlic, onion and nutmeg as well as a variety of vegetarian, vegan and halal options.
One reviewer said they would highly recommend the restaurant, in Ashley Road, and will be returning soon.
"As soon as we arrived we were welcomed warmly and attentively. The servers were kind and friendly, and the food was exceptional," wrote Hannah Willwood.
"We ordered the vegetarian platter which was super fresh and tasty, and arrived in good time. Probably some of the tastiest food eaten all year! Will be returning soon. Highly recommend a visit here."
Another customer praised the vegan options on the menu as well as the coffee ceremony. They wrote: "We shared a tasty vegan platter with delicious injera bread. The restaurant is worth finding as it's off the beaten track. Great to have a coffee ceremony with incense, strong coffee and popcorn afterwards.
"A lovely friendly place and especially the relaxed atmosphere meant we could enjoy lots of time to chat .... thank you."
Glowing reviews were also left on Google, with one person saying: "Lovely, authentic restaurant with great staff, service and tasty food. Will definitely return.
"The injera was spot on as were all the classic dishes. Would be nice if there was more variety on the menu like sambusas/starters, desserts and spiced Ethiopian tea. Still, yum yum yum."
