Abessina - Reservar una mesa

I've eaten in all sorts of restaurants on my visits to Kassel and have reviewed them all and now for the first time I can say "Yes, finally really great, tasty and amazing food"...the owner, Girmai is an amazing host, we spoke a lot and even shared a shot or two of Ouzo? Not sure how this Greek national drink got bottled in Eritrea and found it's way to Kassel, the flavoured beers are "different" but actually very, very nice too. Girmai, he really has a "presence" and the atmosphere he generates is fantastic. The food is beyond compare to anything else I've tried from other "traditional" restaurants so far in Kassel...it's simply extraordinary! Just wish that the locals would embrace the culture and get stuck in with their hands as they should, that's what the Injeera is for "emilyphipps"...it's not "wet chappati", rather traditional Ethiopian/Eritrean bread that is used to soak up your meal, anyway...moving along. I enjoyed the uncomplicated service...after all we're there to have a great meal, not be pampered by overly enthusiastic service staff. They were quick, accurate and friendly, that's all they need to be. It was my first experience in an restaurant that is "East African" and as a South African I was blown away by the tastes. The unique spicing and preparation kinda hit a few home notes with our local South African Indian cuisine especially the sambusa's (samoosa's) where I'm from, where exactly made, prepared and flavoured as they should be and what I am accustomed to from our Indian cuisine at home. The restaurant setting is cosy and very warm, uncomplicated but "inviting"...I could carry on and on but honestly...I will be back again and again and again! My wife is going to struggle to get me to try other restaurants in Kassel after this one.

We were a group of 8 at our table and ordered platters. Worked out at about 10 euros a head for food, and there was more than enough. Very tasty, authentic Ethiopian food. Service was a bit hit and miss, but I think they were caught out by the size of our group (about 25 in total).

Were here last Sunday for a quiet dinner, (luckily booked in advance), surprised that every table was taken.We had a vegan platter for 2, good mixed variety, plenty enough to feed 3 people!Service was a little bit unprofessional, but very friendly, will certainly come back!

We shared a sort of curry platter with a range of vegetable dishes such as lentils or kale. This was accompanied by a sort of wettish chappati. The food was edible but not interesting! I felt it was worthy rather than tasty.
