Abessina Äthiopische Spezialitäten

At 7:00, I met my colleague in Abessina. The African restaurant was recently opened and is very popular. Reserves are strongly recommended here. My colleague was a guest and I was curious. So I had a table reserved for us at 4:00. On the phone the reception of the reservation rang a little blunt, but then everything worked wonderfully and we were allowed to sit next to a column overlooking the windows. The Abessina tries Italian after two failed predecessors and now his luck in this place. One is only a stone's throw away from the main shopping street, the car should be better at some distance, everything is accessible from bases. You enter the restaurant and feel safe. Warm colors dominate tablecloths and wall colors; Bas chairs and African posters with smiling ladies as well as the bas-lined counter leave vacation mood. I liked the cheerful image with the zebra and the colorful balloons. In the background, cheerful, African music runs that really makes good mood. An area is prepared with a chair and a small table for coffee ceremony. I thought it was cozy! On each table is a thick glass plate. In our case, a piece had recently broken off, which was glued by the waiter with Tesafilm. He apologized. Can't happen. Nevertheless, the tabletop kept me obstructed. Maybe you can leave the plates or mount them better? During our visit I had the feeling that we really tried to pass on our own culture and that we would like to participate in the goddesses. I like this attitude. The Abessina looks authentic to me and not like a concept of a marketing department that only and only allows the greatest possible profit through exoticism. The small, constantly filling guest room in the evening supports my thesis. If you expect Star service and white tablecloths, you'll be wrong. You can definitely spend a lukewarm evening with friends or your partner! Four stars! Service We were greeted by a young gentleman in traditional dresses and brought to our table. Another lady also served the other guests. We handed out the colorful, laminated cards. Some dishes are also shown with photos. The map also explains how to eat properly with the always influential injera. In addition to lamb, beef and chicken dishes, there are also a variety of vegetarian or vegan dishes as well as a typical selection of appetizers and some national beers and wines. It is also possible to order dishes for 2 to 4 people with different delicacies for tasting pleasure. Unfortunately, I didn't see the desserts, but there should be bananas. Nice! My colleague chose a large Guava nectar 0.5 l to 3.50 €. She was surprised that it was half a liter. I only chose a glass of rose from Africa, but then I stumbled over the climber on the table. Our waiter also pointed out that only two of the three beers offered are mango and banana beer available. Yeah, I wanted to try. So a mango beer 0.3 l from Djudju recorded for me at 3,50 € on the invoice as mangonectar 0.5 l to 3,50 €? . I would like to have seen the bottle, unfortunately it was served in a beer cell with non-congruent emblem. Wow! It smells like mango and tastes fantastic! Njam! We thought how many people could consume without collapsing in their home country; With our drinks we also chose our main dishes. I had such a feeling that an appetizer could be a bit too much of the good and my guess later proved right! My colleague chose Sukini as the main dish for 8 € Zuchini and pumpkins in Sauce and I chose one of the national dishes: Barei Zigni at 10.50 € beef slices in sharp tomato sauce with onions, garlic, Berber spice mixture and spice butter. Our funny and also very friendly waiter asked when ordering whether we would eat two different African dishes or I would eat two different. I was honestly caught taking pictures and just smiled kindly. Still busy with the pleasure of my excellent mango beer, each of us has already been served an appetite plate with a half size thin bottle and a small salad. Our waiter will explain to us the East African cuisine and the new kind of food intake: The Injera is a type of loaded bread consisting of three different types of cereals 25 wheat flour, 25 maize flour and 50 teff cereals and is abused as an edible eating tool. Knives and fork are used just like never. We were still wrapped in a thin white paper napkin. With the Injera served every dish, you can then couscous, rice, salad, the main dish or everything together as successful as possible and eat with the hands in pieces. We first practiced with injera and salad and rejoiced all the more when a plate with yellow rice and couscous was served a little later, so each other got his ordered dish in a small tonepot on a type of rod with spoon. Barei Zigni beef slices in sharp tomato sauce with onions, garlic, Berber spice mix and spice butter: My court was pretty hot. The beef floats butter in the well seasoned tomato sauce. For my taste it was only on the edge of a delicious taste experience. The dish is not suitable for lovers of mild cuisine. I can't compare it with other hot kitchens. Generally, I never ate this spice combination. It's exotic! Unfortunately, this is also very fat and I would like to have thicker napkins. It keeps me a secret how to keep clean fingers. I have to practice. I cost it. Four stars. We sat some time in front of our empty plates when our waiter asked if he could bring us sharp lenses into the house. Very attentive! We wanted to! Then it was Injera again! The lenses were in a kind of tomato cream and only slightly sharp in contrast to my plate. It tasted very good. Four stars. My colleague also gave her a good mouth, it wasn't as fat as my court. The food convinced me! I like to come back and try other dishes. For a dessert we had neither time nor space, the offered Anisschnaps tried the house or similar Raki/Ouzo! Our waiter noticed this and quickly brought a small glass with Guava juice. The friendly and fun service resembles some patzers, how long waiting times during cleaning of glasses and plates and some mistakes in operation. The restaurant has long not opened and everything has to be played so that I turn up to 4 stars this time. I felt welcome and cared for. Families with children are also welcome! Unfortunately, we could no longer experience the coffee ceremony, this happens when enough guests are present. PLZ Cleanliness Prices are suitable for the ambience offered, super food and friendly service. Four stars. I didn't visit the toilets. It seemed subjective, but not all pico bello. 3 stars. Conclusion Ambience, service and food complement each other so well that you overlook smaller patzers. I left the Abessina with a good mood and we will soon test other dishes unknown to us. Here is a completely new taste experience guaranteed!
