Service was not great. My wine glass was chipped. They dont have or ran out of ice cubes. The owner/ server was short of staff. The food took a long time to come. Other then that all good. View all feedback.
What PaulV doesn't like about Abyssinia Calgary:
Both of the draft beers were unavailable, and out of the three domestic options, only one was in stock since they had run out the previous day. While the appetizer, stuffed jalapeño peppers, was quite tasty, the lamb stew was mostly bone and the meat was tough and chewy—likely mutton rather than tender lamb.

The lady cooking came and talked to us and described items on the menu and then served us and explained all of the food and a little about Ethiopian culture. We really appreciated that personal touch! Thanks for the nice supper
The food was so delicious we scarfed it down in no time without realizing it. Eating with our hands and without utensils didn’t get in the way of our speed either.
Delicious meal. Some menu items not available. Wish there were some desert too!
We were a party of three with one vegetarian and one who has a low tolerance for very spicy food. The server offered very good vegetarian options, including the vegetarian platter which has a variety of samplers of different dishes. Some of the samplers were truely mild. However, there might be some differences in the perception of what constitutes mild or spicy between our party and the server as about half of that dish is made with a spice level that's beyond mild to us. That said the flavours of the food, the portions and the overall presentation were all wonderfull. The injira was fresh and moist and the lentil dish soft and thick. Service, however, was a different story. The server was very inattentive, had to be approached physically to pay attention to us, had to be specifically asked for refill of water time and time again and took her time even with a simple request for another extra spoon. It is a great place to experience Ethiopian food. However, make sure you have lots of time as it takes long to go through a meal at this place.
