Abyssinia Restaurant in Anaheim

Owner was rude and said we needed a reservation to eat there. Asked if we could order to go and said no, come back in 30 mins.Apparently they don't take to-go order and require reservations only. There was 5 open tables. Drove an hour from west covina to eat here. Super disappointed. Ended up going to beteseb about 3 mins away.

I absolutely love Ethiopian food, but I love it so much that I have no self control whatsoever and just eat a ton.

My friend and I planned on trying Abyssinia Restaurant a few weeks ago on an early Sunday afternoon. Their website is inactive so therefore, I needed to rely on Yelp and Google for some accurate information regarding their operating hours and their menu.

When I checked on Yelp and Google, the operating hours for Sunday, August 29, 2021 was changed to 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM (3.5 hours later than originally stated). Fortunately, I managed to locate another Ethiopian restaurant that was opening for lunch and someone actually picked up the phone to confirm!!!I decided to contact Abyssinia later that day and spoke with owner. The owner said he changed today’s restaurant hours in the morning because he had to go to church. I mentioned to him that you are modifying hours based on your whim. This is not how you function as a business…just not proper etiquette. He was not apologetic about the last minute change in operating hour...
