Abyssinia-Ulm in Ulm

Went there for the second time today and the food was very tasty, just like the first time. The service was super friendly and informative (like the first time). Highly recommended if you like sweet beer: the different types of Dju Dju beer. Thanks. We'd love to come back. And then hopefully with honey wine :)

Super delicious authentic food. Super nice service. There is a large selection of delicious African dishes, but if you like it you can order it spicy. Otherwise there are also mild dishes. We recommend the lamb and mushrooms. The plantains were also very tasty.

We only had an aperitif outside. Delicious. Price completely okay. A beautiful economy inside. Friendly service.

This time, like last time, the food was delicious and the service was very courteous and friendly. If you visit on the weekend, you should definitely make a reservation. One star deducted because the portions are either too small or the price is too high for my taste.

A really recommended restaurant! The food is fantastic, the flavors of the dishes are really lovely. If you haven't had any experience with this type of cuisine, take the combo and be happy. Don't worry, there is also cutlery but just get used to eating with your fingers, it makes it even nicer. The service is very friendly and accommodating. Gladly again ✌️

Small, cozy and very nice service

We were there this summer to finally test it out. The taste was really good, although it could have been a bit more intense. The portions were sufficient but... a little more and I would have been really full. Unfortunately there isn't much space. It's quite narrow but it's still possible. The staff is very friendly and attentive. We will definitely visit it again because, on the one hand, we would like to eat something “something different” and, on the other hand like to be in Ulm.

The place is very small and the music is way too loud. Ambience in everything very bad. Our Fanta/Sprite drinks had been sitting open for several weeks, at least that's how they tasted. I had a salad with dumplings. The size corresponded to a side salad WITHOUT DRESSING for €15.50 Absolute impudence. Never again.

I ordered there for the first time through to good to go and will order/go there more often. Great taste and good spiciness.

The food was great and Injera was so good

Perfect service and great food. Soup was great, mix plate was also very good. And finally dessert was delicious. Best wishes.

What a wonderful experience :) The owner is more than friendly and welcoming, the mocktails are fab and our food was tasty and comforting 😊🙌 one star less because it’s on the pricy side of life, even for veg stuff - but given the location it’s somehow understandable…

Ethiopian cuisine also has something to offer... The palate was challenged I can recommend

Were there today and the food was sooo, sooo delicious. Absolutely recommended. Everyone was really nice, friendly and in a good mood. (Although it was very busy) It's a small, cozy restaurant, nicely decorated, you just feel comfortable. We'll definitely be back!

Great family atmosphere, very friendly, you immediately feel comfortable and in good hands, very cozy, small and cute, incredibly delicious food, whether with meat or without meat, something for everyone, we really like going there

I'm a big fan of culinary delights, so we just walked by. The restaurant was very full and luckily we managed to get a seat (need to make a reservation next time). We each ordered a starter and a main course, unfortunately one of them was missing meat, which was immediately added. It was tasty and well seasoned. Would love to come back.

Excellent and amazing, really tasty and this small restaurant has bags of atmosphere and charm. Made to feel welcome, immediately with fast and efficient service. Definitely worth the visit, but make sure you book l, to avoid disappointment and to ensure you have a table as it is always busy. ------- Excellent and amazing, really tasty and this little restaurant has loads of atmosphere and charm.

We had a very nice visit, especially because you can sit outside and have a direct view of the cathedral. Unfortunately, some dishes we would have liked to order were not available, but what we chose was really delicious! An interesting feature is that you eat with your hands, which was a new and exciting experience for us

We became aware of this restaurant through the Schlemmerblock and it was definitely worth it! It was definitely a new and different experience for the palate! It tasted really delicious and the portion was also filling. The boss was also really friendly, came over every now and then, asked if everything was okay and made small talk - but not too intrusively, so it wasn't annoying. Will definitely come back!

Super delicious food, very friendly service and lots of vegan options!

Very tasty food, friendly service that explains everything, is something completely different. Actually, you eat dishes with your fingers, but I tried it, but it was a matter of practice and then I used cutlery

Super friendly and lovely service, as well as excellent food. We will definitely come back.

Food was delicious, conditions were funny and friendly. Have nothing to complain about.

Friendly service. Short waiting time. Delicious food. Highly recommended.

Der Gastgeber ist humorvoll, freundlich und entspannt. Das Essen ist wirklich gut und exotisch mit wunderbarer Aromatik. Die Sambusas als Vorspeise sind sehr empfehlenswert, kann man auch teilen (sind zwei Stück). Die Schärfe der Gerichte ist an den europäischen Gaumen angepasst, also eher moderat. Alles wird ganz eindeutig frisch zubereitet.

The food was very tasty and the drinks went well with it. But the service was much better. I have rarely seen anything so relaxed, friendly and with a pinch of fun. Please keep it up.

We went there on a Saturday evening around 8:30. It was two of us and we ordered food and it took around 35 minutes for the food to arrive. One of us ordered a vegetarian(all in one) dish and it costed 20,50€. But it had only three items. The restaurant should have informed us that they ran out of food , we would have ordered something else but they were too greedy and we had to pay in full for an incomplete dish. Also the chicken dish that we ordered was too salty and I did only finish half of it. We ordered still water for two people and they served not from a sealed bottle but tap water(which costed 5,75€) . I just fell like I was robbed. Never again.

Top food. You definitely have to try it! We were able to try out some delicious food in a beautiful and friendly atmosphere. We'll be back 😃

Very cozy, the staff was super nice and the food was also very tasty. Everything available in vegetarian versions. The home made iced tea was also very good.

Super tasty, lots of vegan dishes on the menu, attentive and warm service in a cool atmosphere with cozy outdoor seating. I liked it very much. Clear recommendation goes out.

Short waiting times, friendly staff, harmonious ambience and particularly delicious food - highly recommended!

Today I was at Abyssinia for the first time, I love Ethiopian cuisine and I don't know how I could have missed this restaurant so far... The historic building has its own charm, paired with harmonious African art, I love it. The staff was super nice and accommodating, always approachable and quick with everything, very attentive. The food itself... heavenly. I am no stranger to eating with my fingers, I like it, but of course there is also cutlery for guests who don't like or want it. Starter, main course... My companion and I shared everything and were able to enjoy various specialties. Every single dish was incredibly tasty, the spices were perfectly balanced, and the size of the dish was perfect for me. I was completely full with the starter and main course, but unfortunately I couldn't fit in any more dessert. 😅 I'll definitely be back soon and can only warmly recommend Abyssinia.

Great food, lovely staff members and a nice, relaxed atmosphere as well as clean toilets. Highly recommend this place for vegans. They have loads of options, which are clearly labelled. We will be back. :)

Food was super delicious! Host was very attentive. Food came very quickly - including a taste of "his" lamb in advance. Restaurant quite small with a very relaxed atmosphere. Price justified. Eating with your hand is quite a challenge 😁I'll be happy to come back!

Very tasty food and absolutely friendly service. This is how a restaurant should be. Would love to come back. Simply recommended. Especially if you want to get to know something new.

Great little place. You can also sit outside. Super great atmosphere. And the food is right good 👍👍👍

Very friendly service. The food was okay, rather average and noticeably small in portions. Condition was pre-cooked and with standard ingredients. Overall, what was on offer was far too expensive for me and left a bit of an aftertaste of 'rare food and it's worth it'. A pity.

I got to know the restaurant through To Good To Go. When I came in I immediately noticed that it smelled incredibly good of food and spices. The service was very friendly. The food was sufficient and tasted great. I would come there again to eat. I can't say much about the ambience since my food was takeaway. But the first impression was good.

Super delicious food, great ambience and really friendly and helpful staff :)

We'll come back and test the dishes further. Something completely different, even without cutlery, of course.

Very good food. You have to go. Very good service.

Very tasty food. I liked the Chicken Sambusa the most. I actually don't like spicy food at all, but it was very well seasoned and the sauce was very fruity and tasty. The main course was also very delicious and it was a whole new experience to eat without cutlery. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The restaurant is highly recommended, I would come back at any time.

Really great restaurant. Relaxed atmosphere. The food comes on large silver trays with plates made of Ethiopian grain that you can eat with you. The menu includes a few fish dishes and half meat and veggie dishes. The menu explains ingredients, spices, why it is that way in great detail. If that's not enough, the owner has an open ear. He's less of a host anyway, but acts like someone who wants to feed his friends. The ambience is loving. The prices are very fair/cheap (10-15 euros for a veggie main course) to what we have become accustomed to (almost 30 euros for the plate of mixed meat dishes). It's tight, to share secrets it's better not to go there. Overall, a real enrichment for Ulm, I'll be back.

Chance brought us here. At first we just wanted to take a breather with a drink. But then we stayed for dinner. Very nice atmosphere, both outside and inside. Extremely attentive service and super delicious food! Espresso as dessert and a rental umbrella from the boss for the way home were the icing on the cake. Gladly again, Babette & Henrik

Fantastic! Everything was super tasty. Service also perfect 😊

Food (sauces top and authentic), service friendly and humorous. But when it comes to the cost of injera refills, you feel cheated. Paid about 26 euros for Mahnerawi and got injera replenishment twice in the small wooden bowl and lo and behold, 25 euros were charged!!!! That's what I call cheating! It's a shame, I would have liked to come back and recommend you to others. Unfortunately the prices are unfortunately reasonable yet honest! A pity!

A bit cramped, but super tasty food at a fair price. Gladly again 😊

Very friendly. Enjoy your meal. Good vibes.

Super tasty 😋 We all loved the friendly atmosphere and the delicious food. It's something different in a positive sense and we'll definitely come back. Thank you 🙏

I really like the food! Especially the mix record. Vegetarian is also delicious. The waitresses are ALL very, very polite, funny and relaxed. A little loud in there, but not big. I think it's a shame that portions have been reduced and the price has increased. A lot has happened in just 2 years. That's why I don't (can't) go there as often as I used to. Still 5 stars because you just have to like it :)

We've never been here before and we came here thanks to a tip and were able to convince ourselves of the small restaurant. We received a very friendly welcome and things are fun and relaxed here without the quality of the food suffering. There is pleasant joyful music that fits the ambience. The people here are pleasant and the lighting is also pleasant. The seating is very tight, but the friendliness of the people around you means you can still eat in a relaxed manner. Luckily, there is not only Ulm beer here, but also beer from the surrounding area, which is much tastier. And African beer is also available, which we unfortunately discovered too late. The mixed platter is very plentiful. One portion is actually enough for two. Of course, eating with injera takes some getting used to, but it works really well. If you run out, you can order more so that you can really do without cutlery completely. The restaurant is very well received, so a reservation, which is possible online, is absolutely recommended.

We were very impressed by the hospitality and the unrestricted attention and friendliness. We were there with two small children and received a warm welcome. There were two high chairs for us. The food was super tasty and just something different! We will come back in any case!

The hammer! I wanted to try something new and really got my money's worth. I had the Abyssinia salad and the mango chamomile iced tea. Both a dream. Forgot about the cloudy weather and just enjoyed it. The different notes form a wild harmony. It's as if you're trying out every flavor just to have a comfortable ending. Very fresh, perfectly seasoned, at the table faster than I could see. Service casually perfect. You just feel comfortable. Really worth every penny!

The best African I know in the greater Stuttgart area and the surrounding area. The vegan food tastes very delicately seasoned, but above all the young employees and waitresses are totally happy, open-minded and alert and spread their good mood to the guests. The ambience is also very nice, bright, colorful and well renovated. The restaurant is in a beautiful medieval building right in a side street of Ulm Minster. We will definitely come here again when we visit Ulm!

Healthy and delicious food! They also have a lot of vegetarian options!

Small but very quaint. We liked it. A bit of a long wait, but it was also very busy. Food was delicious!

Super delicious food, super nice conditions and a super sweet atmosphere🤩

I had Ethiopian food for the first time today and I was spontaneously very excited. Was super tasty. It tasted so good that I didn't even think about taking photos of it. But fortunately some have already been made. I had Mahberawi (a bit of everything) and the host explained in detail what it was. I can highly recommend it.

It's a great place with a great atmosphere.

Ate with your fingers for the first time (authentic!!), food arrived super quickly, service was very nice! Gladly again and definitely recommended!!

Good food and very good service.

It's a shame, unfortunately the food isn't authentically Ethiopian. We know Ethiopian food very well from our friends and go to Ethiopian restaurants very often. We've never had as little injera as here and we've never had to pay 2 euros for a (very limited) supply. The injera here doesn't taste like it usually does at Ethiopians and is much harder and not nearly as fluffy as it should be. The Alicha didn't taste Ethiopian either and was absolutely dry, something I've never tasted from any Ethiopian cook before. The others are vegetative. Dishes were ok. There wasn't a single Ethiopian beer on the menu, like every other Ethiopian, and the music was well-known Western songs. The decor isn't very African either. At Hakuna Matata, not far from here on foot, you have the feeling of being at Ethiopian home. There's always cozy African music playing, the dishes taste just like my Eritrean friends' at home and you get a lot of injera plus a lot of refills for 60 cents, the dishes are also cheaper there. I absolutely don't understand why Abyssinia is always full, unlike Hakuna Matata, because Hakuna M. is one of the best Ethiopians I've been to so far. It's a shame, because the service was very good and the staff were very nice and helpful.

Really very good and served by a super nice team.

Nice restaurant with very friendly staff. The cuisine is Ethiopian in style and the individual dishes are prepared sparingly. The seating is a bit cramped and quite loud due to the low ceiling height. Toilet is as narrow as on a plane.

Great service and very tasty food. You can feel free to eat with your hand. It's best to make a reservation, but we also got a place without a reservation.

A very nice restaurant with delicious food and super friendly service.

Delicious dishes that you pack into pancake-like bread and put in your mouth without any cutlery. Nice service, young crowd.

Mega delicious food and there is a large vegan selection. We'll come back when we're in town :)

The food is delicious. My husband and I love Ethiopian food. We tried many restaurants, all delicious. and the staff are friendly

very friendly staff Very tasty dishes

A small and very loving restaurant. You immediately feel welcome. The service was super nice and accommodating. The food, each and every one of them, was a dream and everything was fresh. The price is totally reasonable for the quality of food and service. I didn't read whether the products were organic, but that would be a highlight for me. We'd love to come back!!!

Wir sind zu meinem Geburtstag in Ulm gewesen und ein großer Fan von äthiopisch-eritreischem Essen. Ich war schon in vielen Restaurants und habe Vergleichswerte und wie waren sehr enttäuscht. Die gemischte Platte war so teuer wie noch nie in einem derartigen Restaurant und gleichzeitig die Menge so dürftig wie noch nirgends. Es ist eigentlich normal, dass einem immer angeboten wird, dass man bei Bedarf mehr Injera bekommt oder sogar von den „Soßen“/Gerichten selbst ohne Aufpreis. Dort wurde tatsächlich sogar das Injera noch extra berechnet zusätzlich zu dem extrem teuren Preis von über 22€ pro essen. Zudem hatten sie auch den Eistee aus der Karte nicht den wir bestellt hatten und wir haben einfachen Zitroneneistee stattdessen erhalten. Viele afrikanische Restaurants sind besonders authentisch eingerichtet, auch das war hier nicht der Fall. Der Service war freundlich, doch durch die Sprachbarriere gab es einige Missverständnisse, sodass wir plötzlich etwas gebracht bekommen haben was nie bestellt wurde oder das Hauptgericht nur einmal statt zweimal gebracht wurde. Geschmeckt hat das Essen an sich schon. Bei den vegetarischen Varianten hat Salz gefehlt. Die Fleischgerichte haben uns soweit gut geschmeckt. Im Vergleich zu anderen äthiopisch-eritreischen Restaurants leider wie gesagt eine Enttäuschung. Wir würden aus den besagten Gründen kein zweites Mal kommen!

Sami ist ein ordentlicher Mann! Sehr hilfreicher Typ!

Sehr tolles, kleines Restaurant! Sehr guter Service und hohe Qualität der Speisen!

Service is poor and slow. They mixed up our orders. The food is acceptable.

Wir waren mit Freunden beim Essen in dieser kleinen engen Bar/ Gasthaus. Für uns waren die Tische zu eng gestellt, dass wir nicht einmal mit Maxi-Cosi durchgekommen sind. Das Personal war freundlich und die Portionen recht überschaubar. Leider sind 5 von 8 Personen von uns nicht satt geworden. Das Essen basiert im Grunde immer auf eine Art Gulasch, das mit Sauerteigfladen gereicht wird. Der Gulasch war deutsche Hausmannskost und geschmacklich nichts besonderes bzw nicht exotisch. Teilweise nur scharf. Der Sauerteigfladen war kalt und zerfiel beim Essen in der Hand. Dafür waren die Preise gehobene Küche. Nach dem Essen wurden wir gebeten den Tisch zu Räumen und zu gehen , da dieser nochmals vergeben wurde. Hier wird Gastfreundschaft noch gelebt. ;-(

Kleines, liebevoll eingerichtetes Restaurant. Das Essen ist vorzüglich und der Service richtig toll. Gerne wieder.

Cute tiny restaurant with very friendly staff and amazing traditional food. Everything we ordered was delicious and full of unique flavours.

Das Essen war sehr lecker, die Auswahl reichlich und die Mitarbeiter sind freundlich

Nicht jedes Etablissenent erwähnt alle Kellner mit Namen und Foto im Menü und diese persönliche Wertschätzung spürt man auch als Gast - wahnsinnig netter und aufmerksamer Service! Das Essen ist sehr lecker, raffiniert gewürzt und schick auf großen Tabletts serviert. Ich esse gerne mit den Händen weil ich es sinnlicher finde, doch wer das nicht will bekommt gleich Besteck dazu. Zusätzlich werden die Grundlagen der äthiopischen Küche im Menü erklärt und es gibt ein großes Spektrum auch bei vegetarischen und veganen Gerichten. Wir hatten gefüllte Teigtaschen als Vorspeise, als Hauptgang je das milde Lamm und die gemischte Kombo und als Nachtisch die Kochbanane und waren mit jedem Gang sehr zufrieden! Bonus: zu jedem Hauptgang gibt es eine passende Weinempfehlung. Einziger Wermutstropfen: die historische Substanz hat einen eher kleinen Gastraum sodass es etwas laut ist, also eher gesellig als romantisch. Alles in allem waren wir sehr angetan und kommen gerne wieder!

Sehr lecker Super netter Service Punktabzug nur für Getränke und Speisen welche beworben werden aber nicht verfügbar sind. Und für den Preis ... !

Das Essen und der Service war gut. Die Atmosphäre könnte aus meiner Sicht noch etwas mehr Authentizität haben und die Portionen ein klein wenig größer für den Preis den man bezahlt. Insgesamt doch ein toller Ort und gerne wieder.

Sehr gemütliches kleines Restaurant mitten in Ulm. Das Essen war super lecker und der Service mega freundlich. Wirklich sehr empfehlenswert.

Ein kleines Restaurant mit afrikanischen Spezialisten. Eins vorweg: Wer scharfe Sachen nicht mag oder nicht verträgt, sollte lieber nicht reservieren. Ich musste trotzdem stark schwitzen, obwohl es gar nicht scharf sein sollte, bzw. wenig scharf. Der Rest war okay, Essen schmeckte okay. Es ist aber sehr lecker hergerichtet und wirklich mal was anderes, als man gewohnt ist :-) Service war top, sehr nett. Aber was nicht geht, ist der Preis für das Fleischgericht. 22,5€. Ist einfach zuviel. Die Essen sind ja bereits vorgekocht, die werden nicht frisch gemacht, sonst würde es ja zu lange dauern.

Eine Geschmacksexplosion, absolut empfehlenswert! Schönes Ambiente, liebevoll dekoriert, das Personal sehr aufmerksam und echt lieb! Mussten zwar ne Stunde Auto fahren, würden es aber immer wieder tun! Reservierung am Wochenende ist empfehlenswert.

Super leckeres Essen der äthiopischen Küche. Tolles Ambiente und sehr netter Service. Wir kommen definitiv wieder!

Wir lieben es! Essen ist so speziell wie die Location 😍. Wirklich einfach mal probieren. Es ist gemütlich und super lecker! Die Angestellten sind super witzig und immer auf zack! Wer sich mal traut was neues zu testen, ist hier richtig!

soo lecker und eine große vegane Auswahl, Aletscha ist sehr zu empfehlen :)

Ein Erlebnis der Extraklasse! Traditionelle Küche, sehr authentisch, sehr schmackhaft und überaus lecker 😋😋😋 Sehr empfehlenswert sind Gerichte, bei denen man von Allem etwas bekommt und so einen Überblick über die afrikanische Küche. Folgt den Empfehlungen des Chefs und genießt alles was Ihr bekommt. Sehr nettes und sehr kompetentes Personal! Absolute Empfehlung A+++++

Waren von dem Besuch rundum begeistert. Haben sehr kurzfristig einen Tisch bekommen. Wurden von der Bedienung super bedient und in die Essenskultur eingewiesen. Fühlten uns nach 10 Minuten als wären wir dort jede Woche einmal hier. Eine absolute Empfehlung!

Gutes Essen, sehr freundliches Personal! Kann ich nur empfehlen!

Quando si dice che andare al ristorante è un’esperienza a tutti gli effetti, questo locale ha perfetto compreso come rendere l’idea: autentico, coinvolgente, ricco e spontaneo. Ti ritrovi a mangiare i loro squisiti piatti tipici e ti immergi in una nuova cultura nel girl di una serata. Assolutamente da (ri)provare!

Schöne Karte mit toller Auswahl und leckerem Essen.

Nettes, uriges äthiopisches Restaurant in einer Nebenstraße.

Wir kommen wieder. Lecker, in freundlicher Atmosphäre gegessen und getrunken. Ein nettes und engagiertes Restaurant Team erwartet den Gast in dieser Top Lage in Ulm.

Wat een parel: heerlijk eten en gezellige en betrokken bediening. Absolute aanrader!

Absolut überteuertes Essen, kaum gewürzt, wenn dann mit scharf, kleine Portion zu sehr hohem Preis.

Im der Nähe des Münsterplatzes in einer Seitengasse befindet sich dieses tolle Restaurant. Preis- Leistung stimmt meines Erachtens voll. Ich war zum Mittagstisch dort und war wirklich zufrieden. Das Essen war seeeeehr lecker und kam flott. Auch Vegetarier und Veganer kommen hier auf ihre Kosten.Der Service war mega freundlich und aufmerksam. Sehr zu empfehlen und gerne wieder. 😀

Spontanes Frühstück bzw. reichhaltiges Mittagessen für meime Puber"tiere"! Sehr lecker und eine gut gelaunte Bedienung.bzw. singende Koch!

Spontan essen gewesen und 100 % Geschmackexplosion erlebt. Sehr leckere Gerichte, tolles und super freundliches Personal sowie gemütliches Sitzen im Seitengässchen etwas abseits von der Innenstadt. Wein und Cocktails waren ebenfalls sehr lecker und haben alles abgerundet. Das war der Auftakt und sicherlich nichts der letzte Besuch dort. Danke an das komplette Team.
