La comida es absolutamente deliciosa, con una gran variedad de platos típicos.Los sabores son intensos y auténticos, y los ingredientes frescos y de alta calidad. El servicio fue excelente, el personal fue muy amable y atento, explicando los platos con entusiasmo.Definitivamente volveré y lo recomendaré a mis amigos.

Único restaurante sin congelador ni microondas, nada de quimicos! Los platos se elaboran con una base de 30 especies naturales y cocinada de manera tradicional. Excelente en todos los sentidos, una gran experiència Etíope! Lo recomiendo al 100%, es imprescindible este lugar antes de salir de Barcelona. Slow food by excellence.

De los mejores restaurantes que tenemos en el barrio. Es un gran sitio para compartir comida con amigos, delicioso!

La música estaba buenísima, hemos conocido las propietarias son super amables! La comida riquísima! Lo aconsejo!

Me recomendaron este restaurante etíope en Barcelona y ha sido toda una experiencia. La comida es simplemente deliciosa, llena de sabor y con raciones generosas, perfecta para compartir y probar diferentes platos. La dueña es encantadora, siempre atenta y con una sonrisa, lo que hace que la visita sea aún más especial. El ambiente es acogedor y auténtico, ideal tanto para una cena tranquila como para ir con amigos y disfrutar de algo diferente. Sin duda, lo recomiendo a todo el mundo: una joya escondida en la ciudad que merece la pena conocer. Volveremos con gusto!

Delicious food and lovely ambiance. The food came out fast after ordering, but it didn’t affect the taste… it was delicious and I highly recommend this place!

I really enjoyed the vegetarian combo platter, really nicely seasoned. There were two different combo options and we chose #1, which had more lentils. The interior was very clean and had both traditional and Western seating. I wouldn't hesitate to return and would highly recommend Abissinia.

This is a lovely authentic Ethiopian restaurant tucked away in the centre of Barcelona. The owner Mama T was so friendly and welcoming, really made us feel at home. We really love Ethiopian food and the tasting menu was good and affordable. I loved the chicken and I would order that again. Definitely recommend if you want an authentic experience and looking for something different from tapas in the city.

I’m seeing a lot of one-star reviews here on Google and I really don’t understand why. The atmosphere is amazing, super cozy and genuine. The food was amazing and they’re very serious about 0 food waste and waste in general. They don’t give cutlery unless you specifically ask for it, they propose smaller dishes and when you’re hungry after that, they’ll top it up. The vegetarian options were plenty and tasted amazing. My favourites were the lentil and texturised soy dishes. Rahel is very kind, open and welcoming. We had very nice conversations and laughs. Highly recommend going here!

What a nice, good, warm athmosphere in this restaurant! And the food is delicious! 😋 Also, the owner organizes cooking workshops. For example, how you can make a mango salad hummus, or fermentation, to mention some. It’s experiencing food as a social activity

Melisa Biondi

Such a cosy atmosphere in this Ethiopian space! The delicious authentic dishes are abundant and Rahel, the owner and host of the place, is a warm and joyful person who makes sure that everyone enjoys the experience. Totally recommend Abissinia Restaurant 🤍

Alexis Lahorra

Excellent vegetarian and meat options! We enjoyed the bread and vegetable and meat options. They were all so flavorful and healthy! The worker gave us great recommendations. We loved the tea and the coconut homemade dessert! Very cute and cozy decor.

I had an amazing experience at Abyssinia Restaurant during my trip! The cozy atmosphere and delicious traditional Ethiopian food made it a standout. Rahel, the owner, is incredibly knowledgeable and speaks multiple languages, which added to the charm. I visited four times, and on my last day, she made me a homemade brownie cake and tej, a traditional Ethiopian drink. Her warmth and hospitality made this place unforgettable. Thank you, Rahel—I’ll definitely be back!

Tali Alfassi

Such an incredible place!!! Slow cooked delicious food Homemade by the owner, all fresh! The atmosphere transforming you straight into Ethiopia I especially loved the veal dish and the the cabbage . Can’t wait to come back!!!

Aviva Brody

Genuinely one of the best meals i have ever had. We tried the sample platter and every dish tasted like it was cooked with fresh ingredients and a lot of love. The lentils, salad, meats, vegetables, were all incredible. It’s very rare to find a restaurant with such a welcoming atmosphere and hearty delicious food. I cannot recommend this place enough, and if you go bring a book and enjoy everything this place has to offer!

Gail Carberry

We were wandering our neighborhood and came upon this intriguing Abyssinian/Ethiopian restaurant just at lunchtime. Colorfully decorated, the dining room had low tables and chairs and beautiful art on the walls. Our server suggested a melange of vegetables and chicken which was exactly what we wanted. The chicken fell off the bone and the pumpkin was the best we’ve had in Barcelona. A great find and with such good food and service we will be back soon with friends!

If you go to Barcelona, you MUST stop by this wonderful restaurant. The food is excellent, (probably one of the best Ethiopian restaurants I have ever tried in the world), service is warm and welcoming, and vibe is always so positive and amazing. This last time I went, I got this incredible drink with ginger and pineapple. It was delicious. And how delicious is the food!! This is a hidden gem of Barcelona. Make a trip to Gracia. You will not regret it!

The experience was wow. Until then I have never tried an african restaurant and I was really happy to find out they have so many vegetarian foods. Rahel was so nice and she told us many things about african culture and how we should eat the food faced one to each other and by hand. I really recommend it. Plus, they have a great tea, perfect for digestion and really nice coffee.

I've been there couple of times. In general the food is good and tasty. In terms of service the young ladies are friendly but the old lady was not so much. My only problem is the portions, one day they service a fair portion, the other day they serve half the portion I talked with the old lady and she kept making excuses. Eventually she gave us tea on the house, but I couldn't get over the fact of how she kept giving excuses even though It was not my first time in the restaurant.

It's a very cozy restaurant and was our first time trying ethiopian cuisine. Food was pretty good. The owners kid helped us out since she'd gone out for a while and the kid was really sweet. Helped us with picking items and making us comfortable.

Interesante restaurante Etíope con un ambiente muy agradable. La decoración te hace sentir en Etopía y es una experiencia única ya que tienes que comer con las manos. Me ha parecido muy curioso y la comida bastante buena, sobretodo la carne que tenía mucho sabor y se notaban las especias. Lo que pasa es que encuentro que las raciones son bastante pobres. Hemos pedido dos combinados por 14,50€ cada combinado, uno de ellos llevaba pollo y el otro ternera a parte de una guisado de zanaoria y patatas, y en común el pan etíope y la ensalada, pero nos lo han puesto en un solo plato y me ha parecido muy pobre. Parecía un plato para una persona. El camarero muy amable que nos ha explicado la carta.

La comida es deliciosa!! Sin embargo la cantidad/ precio no es la mejor. Fuimos dos personas y pedimos el menú degustación, las cantidades eran pocas para que el precio por persona fuese de 25€. Si vas allí, mejor pide un plato individual, saldrá más a cuenta. El personal tampoco estaba pendiente de cuando le pedías algo, lo olvidaban y se ponían a hablar con personas que llegaban de visita a saludarlos.

⚠️RECOMIENDO COMPROBAR EL TAMAÑO DEL MENÚ ANTES DE ELEGIR⚠️ Fuimos a cenar cuatro personas y salimos con la sensación de haber sido engañados. Nos ofrecieron un buen recibimiento en un lugar acogedor, aunque como punto negativo decir que pasamos un poco de frío. Después de ver el menú elegimos cuatro platos combinados, uno por comensal, los cuales constan de una masa de trigo con varios acompañamientos. Al presentarse la camarera nos dijo que nos traería un menú degustación para compartir entre los cuatro, ya que así nos saldría mejor, cosa que de entrada nos sorprendió. Llego la comida ( que cabe decir estaba buena, sin ser excepcional) y allí es cuando empezamos a darnos cuenta de la situación. Nos habían traído un plato para compartir entre cuatro personas que era del mismo tamaño que el de la mesa de al lado, donde eran dos, con la única diferencia que el nuestro tenía un poco más de masa de trigo. El resultado fue que se nos cobró 68€ por un plato que a duras penas alcanzaba para tres personas. Todavía no entendemos la escasez de las raciones, ya que no se trataba de una materia prima cara ni mucho menos. Cuando fuimos a reclamar nos encontramos que la señora que nos había tomado nota no estaba, de manera que poco pudimos decir. Muy a nuestro pesar, decir que no repetiremos, ya que el precio nos pareció desorbitado respeto a lo que se nos ofreció.

The food was okay, but the price and portion size weren't fair; I think we overpaid for four people ($80 total) and was very little food. The waitress made us change our order, making us believe it was better, but she gave us the same amount as for two people, and we paid for four.

Lo más lamentable de este sitio es que siendo Etíope, ambientado en la comida etiope, tengan la carta exclusivamente en catalán y traducida debajo al inglés. Estoy harto del uso del catalán como lengua principal en una región, están terminando de cansarme hasta tal punto que le estoy cogiendo asco a una lengua por ser utilizada como arma política. La comida muy muy escasa, independiente de que tengas que comerla con las manos porque es parte del juego, pero da lo mismo que pidas dos menús que uno, la cantidad parece ser la misma porque lo mezclan todo en un mismo plato. La ambientación parece buena, no he estado en el país de origen, pero el concepto que tengo de él es que por desgracia comen poco porque no tienen muchas veces que echarse a la boca, y en este restaurante en el que sales a unos 20€ por persona es posible que salgas también con hambre, igual es parte del juego también... El camarero que nos ha atendido la verdad es que el chaval era muy amable y cariñoso, ha hecho realmente lo que ha podido incluso nos ha invitado a una infusión. No volvería.

Buenas!!! La comida es especial o te gusta o no. Es muy picante. El servicio es horrible, la dueña muy poca educación. No quiere darte explicaciones de la comida (y solo éramos 2 mesas) a parte de que te trata con desprecio y prepotente, te hace sentir tonta y no te deja elegir ni lo que quieres comer, te endosa un menú degustación y ya está. Fuimos 4 y a ninguno nos gustó la comida. Cuando llegamos y llegó la dueña ya nos levantamos para irnos pero por educación no quedamos. Gran fallo. No volveremos nunca más. Y nos gusta ir probando comida de diferentes países, está buscaremos otro local. Gracias

I was very disappointed with my visit to this Ethiopian restaurant. We ordered two dishes at this Ethiopian restaurant, but the portions were very small and not worth the price. The injera was not made from teff but from regular flour, which made the meal feel inauthentic and disappointing. The taste of the food was not good, the food did not taste fresh and lacked the rich flavors I expected from traditional Ethiopian cuisine, and the service not attentive to customers. I truly hope the management improves both the quality of the dishes and the service, because Ethiopian food deserves to be represented much better.

I was really looking forward to enjoying authentic Ethiopian cuisine, but unfortunately, this was the worst dining experience I’ve had. I ordered a combination of Doro Wot and a vegetarian platter, but the portions were extremely small – barely one spoonful of each dish. The injera was dry, had a strange smell, and did not taste fresh. The food lacked the rich spices and flavors that Ethiopian cuisine is known for and was even missing basic seasoning like salt. The environment did not represent Ethiopian culture well – the restaurant was not clean, and even the glasses and utensils felt unkept. To make matters worse, the customer service was rude and unwelcoming, doesn’t represent our culture It is disappointing to see such a poor representation of our beautiful culture and cuisine. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously to improve the food quality, cleanliness, and service.
