Groups, functions and catering

Group bookings

Groups of six to twenty get the long table. For anything bigger, email us and we will talk about whether you want the whole room.

Tell us how many are coming and whether you want the mixed platter, the veg platter or some of each, and we size it to the table. Nobody orders separately, and entrées and extra dishes can be added on the night if the table is still hungry.

If some of the table are vegan or avoiding gluten, tell us the numbers and we build the platters around them.

Capacity

About fifty seats inside and seven small tables outside, heated and covered against the rain, with a long table for up to twenty.

Food

All our meat is halal and about half the menu is vegan. There is not a single nut in the building, nothing except the desserts contains dairy, and anyone avoiding gluten can have gluten-free injera with a day's notice.

Drinks

Fully licensed, with Ethiopian lagers, wine and spirits, and BYO wine welcome with $10 corkage a bottle.

Timing

Monday to Saturday, 5:30pm to 10pm. Closed Sundays. Large groups are easiest to seat early in the evening or on a weeknight.

Booking

Groups of up to ten can book online. For anything bigger, email info@theabyssinian.com.au or call, with the date, numbers and any dietary needs, and we will confirm by return.

Catering

We make up platters of tsebhi and injera to take to an office lunch or a party, with the injera wrapped separately so it stays soft. Give us a few days' notice and a head count and we will quote.

Something to celebrate?

Some nights there are four or five birthdays in the room at once, and we love it. Bring your cake and candles and tell us when you book. We will look after them and bring them out when the platter is finished.
