Low spice Ethiopian food

The food at this restuarant is definitely a good option if you don't like too much spice in your food. Some other restaurants have a mix of spicy and non spicy, which is more my preference.

We ordered a 3 person platter and was the perfect amount of food for 3, so no food waste 🙌 unlike some other Ethiopian restuarants in the area that serve enough for 4 or 5 people.

The staff were super friendly and helpful. The Ethiopian spiced tea was lovely.

Fabulous

This was my first time trying Ethiopian food and I was not disappointed! Each curry/veg dish was so unique and delicious, all served on fluffy injere. They have a plethora of all-vegan options. My absolute favourites were definitely the lentil-based curries and collard greens.

Delicious with full separate pesquetarian menu!

A must-try for African food in Footscray. My favourite so far! 🤩 We had the Hudade Special, perfect for 2 if you’re feeling hungry. A delicious combination of grains, salad, potato and veggies. The perfect mix of savoury, sweet and mild spicy in one dish. The coffee it’s just something you’ve never seen or taste before. I loved it! 😍

Pros: Full vegan/vegetarian menu., So many options!, Authentic Ethiopian coffee roasted on site.

Cons: Used to be 100% pesquetarian. , Now offers a separate meat menu.

Extensive vegan menu, but I’d prefer if it was 100% vegan

I came here as part of a regular vegan meetup. We were advised that there are separate cooking facilities for the vegan food. I ordered the combo with the tofu dish which was $25. It came with 7 other dishes. It was very reasonably priced and the dishes were all delicious with the tofu one being the highlight. The restaurant is bright and clean. The staff member was lovely.

Five star food!

Delicious vegan options at this Ethiopian restaurant that also serves some dishes containing fish. Happy Cow only allows 5 star ratings for fully vegan restaurants otherwise I would rate it 5 stars!

Great diverse range of vegan options with different sets available. Everything goes together so well. We ordered take away and it was a wonderful meal.

Delicious and great vegan options

Abol Africa is a really lovely restaurant with plenty of vegan options. Lots of heart and a really good experience eating in!
We got the sambusa (which unfortunately were still frozen in the middle but still yum) and the vegan combo which was delicious. Whole meal only came to $26, was such a bargain!

Delicious vibrant food

Mostly vegan restaurant. I got the vegan feast which we shared among 3 of us and there was still enough leftover for lunch the next day.
