If anything here is a worry, call (03) 9376 8754 and we will talk it through.

Getting in

The door opens straight onto Racecourse Road. There is one step at the entrance and it is very low. We will help you over it.

The room

It is a small room and it gets busy. Tables near the door are the easiest to reach, and we will keep one for you if you ask when you book. If you would like the menu read to you, just say.

There are seven small tables outside, heated and covered against the rain, if the room is not right for you.

The bathroom

The bathroom is at the back, down a narrow corridor, and may be difficult with a wheelchair or a walker. We are sorry about that. Ask us and we will tell you whether it will work for you.

Eating

The food is eaten by hand from a shared platter, and there is always cutlery if you would rather; just ask. Injera can be swapped for steamed rice, and the menu marks what is vegan and says where there is berbere or chilli. Every dish can be made gluten-free, with gluten-free injera if you give us a day's notice or steamed rice instead, and if you are coeliac, tell us when you book so the kitchen can take care.

When you book

Tell us anything that would make the evening easier. Online bookings take a note, or call (03) 9376 8754 or email info@theabyssinian.com.au.

This website

The menu is plain text with prices. The site works with a keyboard and a screen reader, text can be enlarged, and animation stops if your device is set to reduce motion. The booking form is provided by WowApps inside a frame; if it gives you trouble, open it in a new tab or email us. If anything else on the site does not work for you, email info@theabyssinian.com.au and we will fix what we can.
