Quality Ethiopian Cuisine that one would suspect you would find in downtown DC. Very intimate and down to earth atmosphere. Great for a business lunch, casual dinner, or fun date. Very reasonable prices, excellent food, and very worth the price. Highly recommend. View all feedback.

What Paige Waters dislikes about Abol Ethiopian Cuisine:
Cute place and food tastes great. Too bad they depart from Ethiopian tradition and serve food in Western style bowls. Also injera was cold. Also,took more than half hour after giving our order to get served and they forgot to give us the side dishes that come wth the order. The place was not crowded So no excuse for poor service.

While the waitstaff could be a bit more attentive, they were friendly and very accommodating once approached. The food was authentic, fresh, and reasonably priced by D.C. standards. I chose to sit outside, which did mean dealing with some traffic noise, but it was sometimes quiet too. Overall, it was a solid experience.

I had a wonderful experience at Abol Ethiopia restaurant. We shared a veggie platter and kitfo (raw minced meat), and both were delicious. I also tried a glass of Tej (honey wine), which was fantastic. While the service was a bit slow, making it less ideal for those in a rush, I would definitely recommend this place.

The best Ethiopian restaurant I've heard and it comes from a genuine Ethiopian. I remember the favors and spices from home at home and the food in Abol brings me back again and again. The New Manger is really nice and welcoming, it makes everyone feel like their part of a family. The restaurant gives a homely, welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel very comfortable. If I ever want Ethiopian food, I know abol will never disappoint that I have been there 4 times and loves food more and more, can not express how much I highly recommend this place if you want authentic Ethiopian cuisine. Great service by the way

I really do not write reviews but the overwhelming service I received from Brittany Dupree calls for an exception. Within a week, she traded my $1000 into $10,050. She went beyond to make the entire process a very stress free one, she responded to all my millions of questions and make everything very simple; She’s truly a genius. If interested reach out to her on [hidden email] or WhatsApp: 904-544-7547 for a top-notch service you be glad you did…‬ Facebook Britis Financials
