Abyssinia Ethiopian Restaurant

OMGGGG YOU HAVE TO GO HERE . I have been craving Ethiopian food for a very long time. I read so many reviews about having gluten-free injera. I honestly did not believe it until I tried it and the picture was a meat sampler with two veggies on a gluten free injera. We also ordered an appetizer the lentil dish it was gluten-free and it also came with a gluten-free injera. It was so delicious. I took the rest of my injera home to keep in my freezer lol. Just a quick note, I have celiac disease after I went home, the acid was really hurting my stomach because I wasn't used to so much sauces :) but it was so Yummy and it went right away . 5/5 . OH AND OUR SERVER WAS SO SWEET. Oh if u have a acid reflex like me I suggest go for lunch not dinner .

I am celiac and love Ethiopian food but only knew of one place in Denver that prepares GF injera (Queen of Sheba), and that one you have to call a few days ahead for it, plus I do not think she delivers. I was browsing Uber Eats and was so excited to see that Abyssinia offers GF injera too. I checked here & saw good reviews. I added comments to my order to please ensure everything was prepared GF, since I am very sensitive. I am happy to report I had no gluten reaction, and the food was delicious. I will still go to Queen of Sheba too, as I highly recommend it, but for delivery I will definitiely be ordering from Abyssinia again!

They totally get cross-contamination! Call ahead for gluten-free injera (bread), but we had a group with 2 celiacs and 2 glutenators and they did a great job. He made sure the food was on gluten free injera, not the normal bread (Ethiopian food is served family-style on a platter). Ask for extra plates and serving spoons if you have a mixed group so you avoid contamination. They were so accommodating and friendly!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Haven’t had Ethiopian in over 15 years! If you call ahead, they will make you gluten-free bread to eat with, everything was so tasty and wonderful. I am very sensitive (to dairy too!) and don’t feel ill at all. The owner is a wonderful, jovial fellow and very knowledgeable about his food. Go and enjoy!
