    Very humble restaurant serving good food. The red wine they had on the menu was surprisingly really good! Do yourself a favour, and just get the combination platter! You'll be able to try many of the dishes and not miss out on the good dishes. It was a quiet night at the restaurant, so the atmosphere was average but the man serving us was very pleasant! Note: the highchair for baby isn't very clean and seems a bit flimsy too.

    Warm friendly staff, makes you feel at home. Extraordinarily delicious food - we always get the Abesha special. Beautifully soft, fluffy injera, with two different lamb curries and about four or five veg sides. If we're really hungry between two, we'll get an order of Doro Wat and extra injera too 🥰 and just such good value, it feels like a steal!

    By far my most favourite Ethiopian restaurant, never disappoints! Although interior is a little dark the restaurant has a cozy warm atmosphere. Can byo, takeaway is just as fresh as dining in.

    Fantastic food and friendly (albeit small) staff. Best Ethiopian in Footscray. I would recommend the Abesha Special between two. You get a little bit of everything, but ask for extra bread

    Absolutely wonderful food, heaps of vegan options and great choice of drinks also. Service was lovely. If i could give it more stars i would.

    Great food with excellent flavour but found the portions a bit small. Entree was extra disappointing in portions. The bread on its own was weird at first but it goes sooo well with the curries.

    First experience trying Ethiopian food, unique flavours. Loved the presentation. Very helpful manager, he recommended the food to us. We tried the beef, lamb and chicken. Lamb was our favourite. It was soft and juicy.

    Not all food was freshly cooked on the day as some tasted a day old! Quantity of food isn't worth it, anyway it was a nice experience as this food was a different cuisine than what I would normally have. We wanted to try something cultural, but I honestly didn't like the food. Overly priced, overly rated!

    What a wonderful little gem at the end of Barkly St. The owner greeted us, served us and cooked up the entire course all by himself. The aroma of the restaurant made us really hungry. We ordered the Abeshia special with the Gored Gored and Doro Wat between the four of us. Gored Gored 9/10, definitely our favourite, it's tender, juicy and addictive. We were so full we couldn't walk after. Generous portions at a very affordable price. The owner ensured he took care of us. Amazing how he juggled quite a few tables and uber eats all by himself. 👏👏👏

    As a vegan, this place felt like heaven! I ordered the vegetarian combo and it was fresh and delicious 😋 I was full and satisfied after cleaning the plate!
