Abesha Ethiopian Restaurant - Melbourne

Love love love the food here! I enjoy the vegetarian options, so full of flavour.

Abesha in Footscray might just be the best Ethiopian restaurant around. The staff is exceptionally welcoming and friendly, and the food is delicious and made with fresh ingredients. If you're searching for an Ethiopian dining experience in Footscray, look no further. This was my fifth visit to Abesha and I will definitely be returning for more! I give it a perfect 5 out of 5 rating!

Warm friendly staff, makes you feel at home. Extraordinarily delicious food we always get the Abesha special. Beautifully soft, fluffy injera, with two different lamb curries and about four or five veg sides. If we're really hungry between two, we'll get an order of Doro Wat and extra injera too

First experience trying Ethiopian food, unique flavours. Loved the presentation. Very helpful manager, he recommended the food to us. We tried the beef, lamb and chicken. Lamb was our favourite. It was soft and juicy.
