The food is amazing! The decor is non-existent. The service is as good as you might expect from one woman who barely speaks... English doing absolutely everything. The restaurant is in back, just walk thru the market. Bring your own fork if you don'twant to get your fingers messy. Read more

This food is made with love. You can tell! The portions are huge, the food is delicious, and prices are reasonable?but the... biggest reason this place stands out to me is the comfort I felt eating here. It?s a simple place where I?d imagine the owner?sfriends and family would gather, eat, and just lounge around?and yet I somehow felt like I belonged there and was a part of thatatmosphere. The owner is warm and seemed genuinely interested in knowing if my friend and I were enjoying the food (and offeredus generous samples of his homemade honey wine). Imagine a mini market, home, and restaurant combined into 1 place?that?sAbay?s! Read more

Great food! Tried their spicy beef stew. Definitely well made! Gonna try their meat combo next time. The bread is a bit sour but... you won?t be able to feel it if you have it with the stew. Read more

This was our first experience with Ethiopian food and it definitely won?t be our last. Abay is great. It?s such an inviting... place. We ordered the dry prepared beef t?ibs and veggie combo. The food was so flavorful and beautiful. The injera was great aswell and they bring out as much as you want. It?s amazing it?s such a great value too because of the amount of food you get. Theservice was nice and really accommodating. Gave great suggestions for food. It was just such a cool vibe. Go visit. Read more
