Abyssinia Ethiopian Restaurant is an established neighbourhood restaurant at 9 Cricklewood Broadway. The dining experience follows the communal traditions of Ethiopian and Eritrean food, with colourful portions arranged on injera and placed at the centre of the table for everyone to share.
Slow cooked stews and sautéed meat dishes form the heart of the menu. Doro wot brings chicken in a rich spiced sauce, while beef and lamb tibs offer a choice of milder or hotter seasoning, all accompanied by the soft, lightly tangy character of injera.
Plant based cooking has equal weight through lentils, split peas, chickpeas, cabbage, carrots and other vegetables prepared with distinctive spice blends. A mixed vegan platter lets diners taste several of these dishes together and makes the sharing format particularly useful for groups with different preferences.
Traditional Ethiopian beer and coffee complement the food alongside wine and soft drinks. Abyssinia is best approached with a willingness to share, tear pieces from the injera and explore several contrasting stews rather than treating each dish as an isolated main course.
