Amazing Ethiopian food! - Edit
They have a vegan platter already on the menu, and it’s amazing! The gomen in particular is the best version of that I’ve had, and the lentils, split peas, and injera are phenomenal. They were also so kind and understanding with our inability to speak French. Would absolutely recommend Abyssinia!

First time trying Ethiopian cuisine - Edit
I really liked the food, the teff gallete tastes sour-doughy which I did not expect. It was surprising but together with the sauces it balances perfectly. Our server was very nice to us even with the language barrier.

Sehr fein und freundlich - Edit
Ich erkundigte mich, ob wir vegan essen könnten. Sofort bot er uns eine gemischte Platte an. Es schmeckte uns total und die Portion war sehr gross. Die Bedienung war durchwegs freundlich und diskret. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Tasty and generous vegan take-away - Edit
I had some takeaway during the lockdown. Order ahead or wait for 15-20 for the meal to be prepared.
Read moreThere were 6 different "dips" (different types of lentils, spinach, ....), and the usual Ethiopian "flatbread".
It was really tasty and quite a good portion for 19 CHF.
The staff looked very sweet and I would come back once it opens for in-dinning (if I pass through Neuchatel).
Pros: Good portion, Flavorful, and all sauces were very different

Definitely worth a try - Edit
Eating at an Ethiopian restaurant is a new experience. You eat with your hands using pieces of soft flatbread to pick up the dishes which are themselves on flatbread. The bread is made of teff, a gluten free grain which a distinct sweet smell. I recommend you try it at least once, it may or may not be for you.
