Fodor's Expert Review Abyssinian Maritim

$$ Stone Town Dinner

The only fully traditional Ethiopian restaurant in Zanzibar, Abyssinian has all the staples---kitfo (beef tartare) in mitmita (chili powder marinade), injera (sourdough bread), doro wat (fragrant chicken stew), and of course, Tej (honey wine) and coffee; it's a simple but tasty menu that's perfect for sharing with groups and friends. Tucked along the edges of the busy Vuga traffic roundabout on the edge of Stone Town, inside a charming and cozy courtyard, this is truly an authentic Ethiopian dining experience.
