Abyssinia Restaurant - Ethiopian restaurant in Anaheim - 2801 W Ball Rd, USA

We are very fond of Ethopian food and tried this place last weekend. We loved the people and the ambiance. The welcome with roasting coffee beans was a unique experience. Loved the warmth. As far as the food goes, the vegetarian portion of the meal was great, but alas, the lamb and chicken weren't. The sauces were so good, but the lamb was tough, and the chicken had the flavor of boiled meat. The traditional Injera was perfect. Our server was very helpful and courteous and suggested great beers from Ethopian. The coffee at the end of the meal with the popcorn was very aromatic. All and all, a great experience.

Oh my gosh, wow!! Just got home from an incredible dinner. The owner is such a sweet hospitable man. The food is incredible!! You can taste the care and quality in every bite. I had the Ethiopian honey wine which is served cold and bubbly and packs quite the punch. It’s not sweet like I was expecting, which I really enjoyed and preferred. We shared a veggie combo along with the number 1 from the lamb menu. Everything was so delicious and high quality. After speaking to the owner, he told us he is a chemist, which makes total sense! His food and flavors are articulated down to the molecules. He serves filtered water NOT tap water which is so rare at a little ma and pop place such as this. We felt very cared for and takes care of. The Ethiopian coffee is so good! They roast and grind the beans in house. Everything is amazingly curated and so much food and an overall very pleasant experience. I would eat here every week and am looking forward to our next visit. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Moved to OC about 3 years ago, and was pretty bummed because I thought I'd have to drive all the way to little Ethiopia in LA to find good Ethiopian food. Abyssinia fixed that issue. Food is great, service is awesome, and the honey wine is perfect. Super happy to have found this spot

This is by far one of my favorite experiences. I have tried Ethiopian food once before but I didn't leave a great after taste experience. The staff here was very friendly, professional and assisted us throughout the whole visit. They even went out of their way to explain and give us knowledge on their home country and traditions. I enjoyed it all. Their wine was absolutely delicious and the food had so much flavors, it felt as if my tastebuds had been missing out on a whole new world full of flavors. Although, it can run a bit pricey the food is a very large amount that can feed even more than the amount they say it will. Rating: 10/10

A rare find in the area for an Ethiopian cuisine. The place is decorated nicely and the decor is nicely done in the East African style. The menu was adequate and the vegetarian options fantastic. I had the Vegetarian Platter . The injera was soft and nice. The variety and arrangements were very good and all the dishes well made. I will be going again . This place saved my long drive to Fairfax for Ethiopian fare. Five Stars for this visit.

Excellent halal Ethiopian food in Anaheim. Super nice family and seriously delicious eats! The injera bread has that nice sour taste to it, as it should. Generous portions. We got the special combo for 4)5 people and it was more than enough for our family of 5. Family friendly, kids loved the food and the experience of eating from the same.plate and with our hands. Also order the Ethiopian water with bubbles, natural spring, it's so good . Will definitely be back.

Nous avons commandé leur Combo traditionnel pour deux. C’était délicieux et très copieux! Un mélange de couleurs et de saveurs, d’épices et de fraîcheur, servi avec bien sûr l’injera, une galette traditionnelle très aérée, au levain donc légèrement acidulée 🥰. L’accueil était très sympathique.

Wonderful Ethiopian/Eritrean restaurant in OC! I’m so happy I found this place instead of having to drive to LA for some authentic Ethiopian food. We ordered the traditional combo for 2 and a plate of Awaze Tibs. It was very flavorful and had enough to take home. They also have a traditional coffee ceremony on Fridays at 6pm - get there early because it gets busy!
