Abashawel Restaurant Leeds in Leeds

My first time trying Eritrean food and it was delicious. A bit similar to Ethiopian, at the least the dish that we tried. Highly recommend it. We’ll definitely come back to try other dishes.

Lovely little Eritrean restaurant. The food is to die for and freshly made. We also had the traditional coffee and it was really good with the beans roasted fresh too.

We had a lovely meal here. The chef was so kind and it was really good value

Needed a quick lunch and found this dark little coffee shop, quite atmospheric, staff appeared eventually and made me an excellent coffee and I picked a random vegetarian dish off the menu and had no idea what to expect. Result was absolutely amazing food, will be back when I can! (Spicy buttery sourdough pancakes)

Excellent food. Very friendly service and great value for money.

I had to ring up to make sure they were still open at 10.30 but the lady said it was fine and when we got there prepared the food freshly. It was amazing and such great portion sizes. Will definitely be going back and thank you!

The food itself was very tasty however had ordered the meat special for 3, vegetarian dish and samosas to feed 4, the portions were very small, and the samosa stone cold, certainly not worth what we paid so unfortunately will not be returning.

A real gem. Friendly service and the food is so tasty- we had the mix for three- even though there was only two of us- we'd planned to take some home but it was so good we ate the lot- greedy of us I know but we couldn't resist all the wonderful flavours. We've been before and we'll be here again

It's so amazing 👏 I am so excited nice food.

Best eritrean/eithiopian food in Leeds. Definity frequenting here

Favourite food and excellent service ❤️✅

I work all Over the UK and where ever I go I always look for Eritrean/Ethiopian food. This place is not just the best place in Leeds as I have tried most of them but one of the best in the country. Restaurant is clean and authentic in feel and the staff are always lovely, warm and welcoming. Can’t rate this place highly enough it’s a must visit.

Just love this place, excellent food, friendly service

I have been in this restaurant with my family as well as with a group of 15 people in different times and the owner always looked after us very well. The food was tasty, fresh and the portions are great compared to many other Habesha restaurant I've been. The only thing I will say needs to improve in my opinion is perhaps more people in the kitchen to assist for a quicker service ,other then that it's amazing place to be.

A real hidden gem of harehills, fantastic, authentic Eritrean cuisine filled with flavour and love! Really good value for money and would recommend the coffee ceremony with popcorn, absolutely fantastic!

I had the best first experience. The atmosphere is great. The food is tasty and the owner is nice. Worth a visit.

Amazing!!! It was my first time and I really enjoyed the taste and the quality and hospitality. Definitely recommended.

Highly recommend 👌, The food is so delicious 😋.

Thank you very much for your delicious food and service . The best food I have ever seen

EXCELLENT!!!!! Delicious food with excellent service!!!! I can't pronounce the name of the different dishes, but they have a bid variety, great quality and it tastes heavenly!!! The service could not better either! The owner of the restaurant is really friendly. Make sure you order the coffee with popcorn!!!!!

Had a really interesting and pleasant experience here! This was a beautiful introduction to Eritrean food and culture. I'm not very adventurous with food but this was so very nice. The host recommended a dish that wouldn't be too spicy and not only served the food but literally fed the first mouthful to me from her hand..... apparently this is a cultural thing? Interesting. The place was clean, the food was very nice, the staff and other patrons were really friendly and our group had a lovely time.

I loved the food...excellent place. Huge portions. Reasonably priced. During lunchtime, the place was crowded, but the food was delivered fairly quickly.

what a great experience! The vegetarian food was really really good. Big love from Germany!

Went here due to reading the reviews and was not disappointed. The food was amazing! Everything was fresh and experience was authentic. Will be going back for sure.

We tried our luck with this Eritrean restaurant and we hit a jackpot! Magnificent food prepared by a very helpful woman, this is a must place to try when you are in Leeds.

Real Eritrean tradition food, love go here.

A cute, little family-run place. It took a while for the food to arrive, because it was made fresh, I guess.

Really delicious food, and friendly service. Definitely recommended :-)

What a brilliant place. The owner is really nice and friendly. Lovely welcoming host as soon as we stepped through the door. The place is spotlessly clean. This is genuine Eritrean/Ethiopian food made with authentic ingredients and huge attention to detail. We will be going back again.
