Long overdue! Ethiopian food is my favorite, and Abyssinia Ethiopian Restaurant does it the best.

First time trying Ethiopian food, and the experience was great! They recommended trying lamb and I was hesitant because I've had lamb before but it wasn't good.

Can't wait to come back to try the Zil Zil Tibs.
