Located on Decatur and Flamingo in an unassuming shopping center, it's the kind of place you pretty much need to know about to find. You're really not going to spot it from the road, so plug it into your GPS and follow the guidance and the smells to this terrific gem. I've only ever been at lunch and never found it to be very busy. There are always tables full of people enjoying great food, however, and they have a lot of space to spread out so I can't say that you'd have to wait very long if there were a line. They have tables for parties of all sizes as well as traditional Ethiopian baskets you can sit around and dine from. I've not experienced that here yet. The staff is super friendly and, you can tell how passionate they are about the food. Attentive service. I never want for anything. If you've never dined at an Ethiopian restaurant before you're in for an experience. Food is served in piles on large platters and there are not forks, knives, or spoons. You tear off pieces of injera, a slightly sour fermented pancake-like flatbread with a slightly spongy texture, traditionally made of teff flour, and dig into the piles with your hands. It's a truly tactile experience and really, I think, adds to the uniqueness of the food. (Note they have handwashing stations so you and your party can ensure clean fingers when eating off of the same platter. There are both meat and non-meat options. I always gravitate to the vegetarian options when I come and am always completely satisfied. Piles of lentils, peas, cabbage, beets, greens, and salad are perfectly spiced...some quite mild and others with a slight spicy bite. Nothing too picante although the salad does have sliced jalapeño in it so be mindful of that if you're not a fan of spicy. Aromatic flavors and textures will leave you wanting more. I always love visiting here and encourage you to visit. So, so good!

Don't sleep on this restaurant because it appears unassuming. I was surprised at how good this place was. This is just as delicious as any other Ethiopian restaurant in Minnesota. Mimi took our order and she was fantastic and super helpful in telling us how much food would be enough for us. She hyped up the food and it delivered. The food came out fresh. I was in heaven eating all the injeras with the meats and veggies. We ordered the veggie platter x 2, dorotibs, and tibs. Everything had superb flavor and I could not stop eating it. Even when we ran out of injera, we were brought more so we could continue feasting. I would eat Ethiopian food every day if I could. When I go back to Vegas, I'm definitely going to eat here again.

The staff did their best to put something together for us and were really helpful. We'll have to come back someday to try their Veggie dishes on a Wednesday or Friday.

I was craving Ethiopian food and it's been awhile since I've had some in Las Vegas. So we decided…read moreto try somewhere new to us and Little Ethiopia Restaurant and Market came up on Yelp. It was after 2 pm on a Sunday when we walked in. The restaurant and market was empty, and the side room to the right was also empty. Someone came out and we indicated a party of four and she motioned to the tables. The tables are all two tops, so she had to pull two round tables together for us. It's a smaller restaurant area than other Ethiopian restaurants in town. The side room looks like it could be used for coffee ceremonies? She gave us menus and took our drink orders. They only offer bottled water for $2 each as tap isn't available. And regular sodas were in the fridge. We put our usual order in: * Mixed Vegetarian Platter $20.99 - This includes red lentils, split yellow peas, cabbage with carrots, collard greens, green beans with carrots and red beets with potatoes. When this arrived, we dug right in and our favorite was the red lentils right off the bat. I did enjoy all their vegetarian offerings though as it was really flavorful. * Kitfo $20.99 - We ordered their minced lean beef raw versus medium or well done. It also came with cottage cheese and Ethiopian style collard greens. Their version of kitfo was really flavorful, probably one of the better ones we've had. I was really impressed from the first bite. We really enjoyed the food and got our fill and left very full. There wasn't anything particularly memorable about the service but the food stood out and we left quite happy and content. I would return!

Proximity won for awhile, but alas, I have returned. I've missed you Abyssinia! Believe it or not, I have eaten other things besides the veggie platter.

Every now and then they change it up, but here's what you'll enjoy right now: My favorite is the misir wot- red lentils, you also get cabbage, carrots, beats, chickpeas, split peas, greens, potatoes and they range from spicy to sweet. Of course there is a bunch of injera to act as my serving medium. This easily makes two meals. Do you like soul food? Me too. This is the precursor. You know- every person on earth has dna that takes us back to Ethiopia. So- if you've never tried it, I promise - you're going to feel a connection. It just feels like home.
