COVID-19 Update

To Our Valued Customers


After carefully weighing in on COVID-19 restaurant operating guidelines we're resigned to the fact that it would be nearly impossible for us to operate safely and successfully in the current space we occupy. We plan to re-open in a different setting and at a different location on the other side of this pandemic. We appreciate all your support and encouragement through the years. Our success wouldn't have been made possible without you.


With gratitude,

Abyssinian Kitchen
