It was quite an experience. They made an effort to keep it as authentic as possible and they succeeded!The entire experience was just exploring different flavors and it was quite interesting to see how it is so close to Indian food but so different!Everything was flavorful and scrumptious.This would be perfect to bring parents as well who usually prefer Indian food - its the same thing with a twist!And just to make it even better, they made an exception for us when we asked for a beetle leaf whiskey sour thats served at Savya Rasa. It was quite yummy.Definitely visiting again. 😄

One of the best Ethiopian restaurant, beautiful interiors, tasty & authentic food. Both the supervisor and the manager were very friendly accommodative.We took couple of combo dishes, one was Injera with egg based gravies and the other was Injera with vegetarian based gravies.

I was invited to taste the Ethopian Cuisine. It was My first experience of Ethiopian food and I loved it. The Ethiopian Empire, which was historically known as Abyssinia and the restaurant is named after this.The food is what one would get in Ethiopia. As explained by the staff who were so friendly and they helped me what to order and what will be the process to start the food.AmbienceThe whole ambience was fully designed like an Ethiopian place, from chairs to dining table also. The Ethiopian paintings were hanged on the wall, they were also showing the culture of the Ethiopia. One should try the wooden stools for sure as they were more comfortable than cushion chairs.StaffThe staff was very polite and courteous. It makes the dine-in experience more enjoyable.FoodWe had a traditional hand wash before having food, Then had soups, sides and drink in the starter.Soup: Doro Shorba (Non Veg): It has very small pieces of the chicken, onion, tomato, ginger, garlic and many other flavoured which is nicely boiled and mixed having natural taste.Adengere Soup (Veg): I tasted this but it was run-of-the-mill , I liked the non veg more than veg soup.DrinksTej: Home made Ethiopian Rice wine. It was very much natural in taste.Sunny Day By The Beach: White rum mixed with toppings, I liked the mixture, it was very pleasant in taste.SidesInguday Tibs: They taste like Indian Pakoda type, small balls shaped and crunchy in taste, we had this with green chutney.Main courseWe had our main course in a big thali where, we all had our food in one plate, as in Ethiopia its saying that eating together in a plate is for good bonding.Injera: This was a salty taste type bread on which food was spread separately on it.Doro Wot, Egg wot Yebeg alicha these were the dish that we order they all were cooked in different spices And it was very good in taste.In the end in compliance with thier tradition, they serve coffee as a good wish and we had black coffee, Which we can have with salt also.Overall experience was really very good. Only thing i would suggest to serve food in limited quantity.

Abyssinian - An Ethiopian cuisine restaurant. The first and only Ethiopian cuisine serving restaurant in India so far. This restaurant has a perfect mix of fine Ethiopian dining coupled with good Indian hospitality. Sam, the manager spent some good time and gave quite a lot of information, not just about Ethiopian cuisine but also about others. Chandan and Indira are very adept at taking good care of the guests. Must tell you that, the food was served with a lot of love.Menu which I tried: started with home made rice wine, one of the most authentic Ive ever tried. Injera, Inguday Tibs, Yedinich alicha,Misir Wot, Sweet Sambosa and Balck coffee! A vegetable rich loaded menu.However, like its said in the menu. The Ethiopian cuisine is not just about the style of food, but more about how it is eaten. I just did Gursha with my friends. When are you doing it?

We wanted to try something different and this place didnt disappoint us. They are probably the only place serving the Ethiopian food in pune and they are serving it with keeping the Ethiopian culture alive. The ambience is just lovely, they have pics and artifacts of the place and the color combination of the walls is also well done. We started off with Mit Mita Soda, basically an lemonade with chilli powder, a different but a good drink. Adengere Shorba soup was good. Sambosa Lentil was samosa and it was really good. Injera is the bread which is made out of fermented raji and it was good. We had it with Yedinich Alicha and Misir Wat and both curries were good. They also serve thali which a group can share within a same thali. The pricing is also very moderate and the staff is very friendly. Overall a great place to try out some lovely different food.

Its expensive and food was okay okay

U have to do reservation..Authentic euthopian food..For beverages must try rice wine.

Quite a cozy place.Authentic Ethiopian feel (as close to the real deal as possible in pune)

Good Ethiopian food.. great service

Unique food loved it

We tried Abyssinian for Ethiopian food for the first time in our lives and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.Their large plate of food to share allows you to sample their key dishes is great for those new to Ethiopian cuisine. The whole experience with washing of hands before and after the meal, and the coffee ceremony at the end make it an Ethiopian experience instead of just a meal.Overall the food was delicious, with every dish being so different from our regular food. The staff was friendly with great service.

Loved the place. Exotic cuisine compatible with indian taste buds. A must try if you are visiting the city. The ambience is nice, traditional and cozy. Service is prompt. If you are looking forward to having a good time with family and friends, this is the place to be.

This is an amazing start, my partner & me are from Ethiopia planning to come for business at Pune, India and we cant wait to see you that place.and i want some local guide please contact me [email protected]

Amazing place... Great food... They have euthiopian food... Of you love trying out new food, do give this place a try... The staff was very good and explained all the dishes brought to the table...

Amazing food

I went on to try Ethiopian cuisine for the first time. It was pretty much like Indian food. The chicken was like North Indian Kadahi chicken. They had a different variety of bread. Service was nice and affordable pricing.

Excellent place, excellent service and really tasty food. Pretty different and similar from the regular food we eat. Totally worth a visit.

A new concept of dining, Ethiopian and African food served on a common plate...reinventing the old custom of eating from the same plate. But the service was too slow. The flavours of the various dishes were distinct, the injeera (soft dosa like) was yummy. Try once for the sheer novelty of it.

The only place in India which serves authentic Ethiopian cuisine. Ultra yummy food, and very courteous staff to explain each item on the menu and its significance in the Ethiopian culture.

Was planning to visit for my father’s birthday tomorrow- so now confused if I should? Reviews are mixed and the restaurant seems to respond to only the 4 or 5 stars reviews.

Definitely worth a visit. Try this new cuisine in Pune. Great service and exceptional food!

Thrilled to have authentic Ethiopian food after a very long time.I enjoyed Ethiopian food while I was in living in the US, and was bummed to not find Ethiopian food in Bangalore, Chennai or Mumbai.Was surprised to discover this joint in Koregaon Park, and I was sure I wanted to come here.Enjoyed the food, service, ambience and music. All the dishes we tried were pretty good.Hope to find you on Swiggy and Zomato soon. Best wishes!!!

Nice and authentic decor. Moreover, today being Onam festival the restaurant was tastefully decorated with colourful flowers adding to the charm. And, THE FOOD was awesome.

Great experience of trying something different. The cusine and style of eating is very similar to Indian style so that doesnt come as a new thing. But the food is good along with a decent ambience. They have set menus which give us an opportunity to try everything.

Food is awesome...will come again and again.. must try Ethiopian Cuisine in Pune

Good hospitality for sure and great quantity but no quality. Totally felt sick after eating the food there. tasted weird like it was stale or something. not worth the hype at all.

Loved the Ethiopian thali. I believe the experience they give is so real and authentic u will actually feel like you are sitting in Ethiopia. Their coffee baklava and samocha was die for

The décor is nice and the experience is novel. However, there are very few options for vegetarians and the vegetarian food didnt taste that good. The place is a bit overpriced as well.

I ordered Doro wot and Doro Tibs. Test was good but it is too expensive. A single coffee cost 159...although it tastes good.. Comes with butter and salt.

First Ethiopian restaurant in India n that too in “Apla Pune”😍😍😍This new outlet started by the founders of “Savya Rasa”.... This unique place situated in KP.We started with “Tezz”... It’s a rice wine and their traditional welcome drink ... We ordered their food platter MESSOB... N oh boy oh boy!! It’s delicious and it’s heavy ... You need atleast four people to finish that ... N interestingly that’s how Ethiopian people eat food ... Together in single plate ☺️☺️☺️N talking about Coffee... You cant miss their coffee ceremony... Black coffee served with Popcorn , butter and salt 😋😋😋Just loved it 😍😍😍All in all I loved the place ... You get to learn a lot about Ethiopian culture ... N that’s the motto of this place ... They just not another food joint in the crowd... They wanted to create awareness and want to be a cultural bridge between India and Ethiopia ... So guys go visit .. It’s totally worth it 👍👍👍

Amazing place for food... Warm and cozy, a must for every food lover!!!! .....

Fantastic, Good service, Good food. I liked Ethiopian delicacy.

Honestly, nothing special apart from the fact that it is said to be Ethiopian food. Way overpriced, and food tasted bad, except for their Ingera bread. We went as a group and had both vegetarian and non vegetarian dishes, all of us got stomach upsets the next day. Value for money? Not at all!Just an overpriced restaurant with sub-par tasting food. Will not recommend to anyone.Pros: Ambience, Injera bread, mit mita lemon juiceCons: everything else.

The food doesnt taste and feel authentic...

Food is delicious and hotel staff is very decent. We tried the table buffet

What comes to your mind when you hear the word Ethiopian cuisine? Strong, spicy and rich flavours? If these are the key words that come to your mind then you are absolutely right! Unlike other parts of Africa where meat is scarce and variety is limited , in Ethiopia you’ll find delicious curries and diverse almost everywhere you go.Moving ahead, they have a very interesting concept of community meals in Ethiopia where all of them sit together and eat from the same plate. The first rule of thumb when eating the meals is to use your hands! Eating with your hands is a standard practice in Ethiopia. So don’t be afraid to dig in and eat with your hands and oh hey, only use your right hand to eat! And another custom includes feeding one another with their hands as an act of friendship and love. When eating injera with your friends and family, use your right hand to strip off a piece, wrap it around with meat or curry and then put it in your friend’s mouth. This is called gursha – the larger the gursha, the stronger the bond or the friendship.So here is what I had at Abyssinian :1.Doro Sambosa – Doro means chicken and Sambosa means samosa. So it is basically your mini chicken samosa served with green chutney. Delish stuff. A good option for all the non vegetarian folks.2. Mandaasi – Mandassi is made from flour. These are deep fried dough balls served with green chutney. To be very honest it doesn’t have any flavour, it is just the chutney which gives the dish its character or else it is just dough balls. It somehow failed to impress me.3. Tona Messob – Tona Messob is the community meal I mentioned in the introduction. There are different types of community meals on their menu. So this particular meal has Injera bread, doro alicha, fosolia, timatim salad, doro wot, yebeg bozena shiro.(a) Injera Bread – is somewhat like your dosa but not exactly dosa.(b) Doro Alicha – is chicken stew in turmeric sauce which isn’t very spicy and is extremely flavourful.(c) Fosolia – is your green beans and carrot. A good option for all the vegetarians. This is simple yet delish.(d)Timatim-  is a salad made from tomatoes, onion and capsicum.(e) Doro Wot – Doro wot is a super spicy chicken gravy and is to be had with Injera bread.4. Sweet Sambosa – This doesn’t really look like a samosa or taste like one. It rather looks like a spring roll. These rolls are stuffed with carrots. And i think this makes for a great dessert. Plain, simple and tasty.5. Ethiopian Baklava – The baklava is just mind blowing. Just go ahead and order! And thank me later.6. Ethiopian Coffee with popcorn – This is just a part of their tradition and served to every guest.So overall I would recommend you to go and try out this place as it is something different and has a really unique concept. Also if you aren’t in a mood to try their community meals then you can try stuff from their Al Carte menu.#jerlynfoodfanatic

Abyssinian is like a walk into the land of rich culture and tradition of Ethiopia! The decor and interior of this place is something worth admiring and knowing about! Leather lamps, ancient paintings and aesthetics, everything instantly teleports you there!Food:Sunny Day by the Beach:Loaded with chia seeds and fresh mint, this mocktail was everything you need on a summer afternoon! So refreshing and truly amazing! 💖😍Starters:Mandassi :These bread balls with fresh chutney were so addictive at I couldnt stop at one! They are a great option to snack on!Chicken Sambosa :Juicy minced chicken in piping hot samosas were truly a delight! This is a dish I wouldnt share with anyone!Messob:We tried the Tona Messob which had different elements, starting from Anjeera which is the Ragi bread used to eat each every element of food w, as well as the veggies, as the veggies were so good and balanced that I couldnt stop treating myself with more portions of it!Desserts :Sweet Sambosa :Filled with sweet carrot filling, this dessert resembled gajar ka halwa and I loved the toned down sweetness it exhibited!Ethiopian Baklava:The Ethiopian version of Baklava was truly desirable and wasnt too heavy on the stomach which is the best thing!Coffee :The Ethiopian coffee tradition of drinking coffee with salt & butter while eating popcorn was my absolute favourite!

There are a couple of things that I loved about Abbyssinian..1) The ambiance 2)The authenticity of the cuisine.Ethiopian cuisine is similar to Indian cuisine in terms of spices and gravy. What makes it different though is the subtlety and variation of flavours in the Messob(Thal).We tried vegetarian and chicken (Tona) Messob.RECOMMENDATION-A)For authentic experience, please sit on the custom low heighted wooden stools. This table and seating is way more comfortable than it looks.B) Try Tej, the rice wine. Smooth an yummm.C)Spicy chicken curry, Mandassi,(pancake like bread), Shiro(chickpea stew) were the standouts.D)Shout out to Sweet sambosa with honey(more like sprig rolls with sweet carrot filling)E) Ethiopian coffee with salt and butter along with popcorn tastes like heaven , gud enough to wrap up a full filling meal. (Served after the dessert.)This is and will be among the hidden treasures of the city for unique experiences.Loved it!

Food tastes like Indian. While the sharing concept is nice the process is messy. And its expensive. Good for one visit for the overall concept.

Authentic ethiopian dish served in ethiopian style... must try!

Good decor, uncommon cuisine and good portions of food.

Great experience. Must try it.

Different food style....loved it
