Abol: The Dining Experience
Come and experience Ethiopian dining with us, bring a friend, family member, colleague, an acquaintance, a significant other, or come alone and we will keep you company. Chef T. Mamo believes mealtime is important and everyone should take some time from their busy schedule to appreciate a good meal and the company that goes with it.
Picture an inviting atmosphere, where the warmth of family and tradition seamlessly blend with the excitement of new culinary creations. I haven’t had Ethiopian food in over a decade. I was pleasantly surprised how favorable and mesmerizing the food was. Everything was edible on the plate and it was a nice experience to eat without utensils.

The restaurant offers a comfortable, friendly environment with reasonable prices. The food takes a bit of time to prepare so go with some friends and relax and enjoy the meal in a relatively casual setting.
Menu Highlights and Recommendations
Abol is one of my favorite Ethiopian restaurants. The food is varied with multiple meat (beef and lamb), fish and vegetable dishes. I love the way Abol always has so many vegetable side dishes. If you enjoy Ethiopian cuisine, Abol will not disappoint you!
I highly recommend their vegetable platter and veggie sambusas if you're a vegetarian. Abol is vegetarian-friendly and also offers gluten-free options.

Unfortunately, this restaurant is not on the OpenTable booking network.
Too bad they depart from Ethiopian tradition and serve food in Western style bowls. Also injera was cold. Also,took more than half hour after giving our order to get served and they forgot to give us the side dishes that come wth the order. sambosa too spicy if u are into extreme spice .
