Abyssinian - Pune

Awesome food, must visit if you love to do food experiment. At least my experience was awesome. planning to visit again.

Definitely a must try!!! We took the opportunity to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary here, Samy, Indra and Kishore, made sure we had the perfect one. From the table set up to the explanation of the cuisine to the service and taste of each and every dish was exquisite, warm and personal. I couldn’t have picked a better restaurant to celebrate our special day!!

Had a wonderful feast. Tastes are authentic and create a riot of flavors. We had seen these sort of dishes on TV and I had tried Ethiopian food in Belgium but this was way better in quality and quantity. Chandan served us today and patiently explained the concept and the culture....service was prompt and good and we loved the experience.Doro Wot is exceptionally exquisite, and an absolute must-try. Their house wine also reminded us of the countryside...it was a rich version of tadi. A surprising delight was their coffee... Served in a beautiful pot, even though it was devoid of sugar or milk it was just perfect, light and not really bitter. We started with half cups and then followed up with two more even though we were full.We couldn 't even finish the whole Abol messob (the basic 'thali ' version) which was sad. Maybe we 're getting older. :P But that should give you an idea about the volume.Hit the place if you want a nice cutlery-free bonding time with your loved ones over delicious food. Thanks Chandan for your hospitality!

Amazing Ethiopian food. This was my first attempt at having Ethiopian food and it was amazing. The food is delicious. Their bread is so soft and spongy, you will fall in love with it. The restaurant is not just another food joint, it shows the Ethiopian culture. Everything about this place leaves a great impression, the staff, the decor, food serving etc. You can also view Ethiopian artifacts at this place. It’s a wholesome experience to be here.

I had been thinking about eating here for quite sometime. But trying out a place whose food I'd never heard of nor could pronounce, did seem a bit out there. Not that I didn't want to go, I did, but I figured if I do make a fool out of myself, I'd better have some company.<br/ <br/ So, I finally got a chance to try out the fabled Ethiopian cuisine. Years had been spent making jokes about Ethiopian food, It was now time to try it.<br/ <br/ The restaurant is an extension of Savya Rasa, another fine establishment. The place had been decorated with, which I can only assume as I have no knowledge in the matter, with traditional African arts and symbols. It really sets the mood running as you take a seat and browse through the menu.<br/ <br/ The menu isn't very extensive like other restaurants but that is to be expected of a place that specialises in a particular cuisine. Upon asking the server, he recommended the buffet which would provide us with a variety of options to choose from and easier than picking one dish from the ala carte and hoping we've got it right.<br/ <br/ The food was served in a huge plate which was meant to be shared by all the participants, as per the tradition. They started with the Mandassi, and then followed by Injera upon which all the dishes, whose names are on the menu but i cant remember, are served. The food is not a fusion and since it focusses on authenticity, no spices are used, which in my experience might be a deal breaker for some people. For desserts we had sweet sambosas and dumplings accompanied with a pot of salted black butter coffee which was to die for.<br/ <br/ And for some reason, popcorn. No idea why.<br/ <br/ Ambience <br/ <br/ Food <br/ <br/ Staff
