the abyssinian, kensington

We could not love The Abyssinian in Kensington more than we do. A meal here always warms our hearts and soul.

This Ethiopian gem blends excellent food, a welcoming vibe, amazing service and authentic decor to bring us a wonderful foodie experience.

If you haven’t experienced Ethiopian cuisine before - you MUST! Bursting with flavour, there is a wide variety of traditionally slow cooked meats, curries, plus delicious vegetarian options like bean and vegetable stews.
And the best part? You can dive right in with your hands using the injera, the yummiest Ethiopian flatbread.

Sharing is caring here at The Abyssinian, embracing the tradition it’s all about sharing the same platter of food to build unity and trust. It is a bit of fun too.

At The Abyssinian, they believe in sharing the joy of food. Embracing tradition, it’s about bringing everyone together around the same platter, fostering unity and trust, plus Mamma says it adds a dash of fun to your dining experience.

Dining at the Abyssinian is more than just a meal it is immersive and delicious experience.

P.S You can use cutlery if want to of course!
