Abyssinian Kitchen - Jennings Lodge

Fantastic food and service. Reasonable prices for the quality you get. Definitely ask your server about the spice levels. Some dishes can be very hot. We had the sambusas, awaze tibs, and alicha and it was excellent. The amount of injira was perfect.

Warm, attentive service from the moment you walk into the restaurant. Really well-made injera. Very delicious food. Menu was easy to understand and approachable for someone new to Ethiopian Eritrean food. What sets this restaurant apart from the other Ethiopian restaurants in Portland is, the amazing ambience.

Great food. Great service. Plenty of injera. Love it.

Love Abyssinian!! Food is delicious and the owner staff are the most genuine and friendly. Such a great unique experience, nothing quite like it in Portland.

There are very good reasons for so many five star ratings. The warm heart of this place veritably oozes from the atmosphere, the service, the food. We arrived, a party of 7 with no notice and they accommodated us effortlessly. Most of us were experiencing Ethiopian food for the first time. Our kind server guided us through the entire menu. As it happened, the women indulged in anjera and vegetarian fare, using anjera in traditional fashion. Some items were definitely spicy. The men indulged in lamb and chicken. Not a bit was left on their platter. We all enjoyed everything immensely. At our server’s suggestion, I ordered a delicious, excellent Pinot noir. Another ordered a quite crisp and lovely Vigonier. I heard great exclamations over the clever house margarita that uses a traditional pepper which blends in an exciting way with lime and tequila. Get one.
