My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at Cayenne Bistro on July 9th. The moment we walked…read morein, we were impressed. The ambiance was lovely and the aroma was heavenly. The server was kind and helpful. The owner chatted with us at the end of our meal. What a nice man! When he discovered that it was our anniversary, we were generously given a delicious dessert. The food was incredible! Each bite was like a bouquet of flavour exploding in the mouth. The owners, employees, fellow patrons all made it seem less like dining in a restaurant but more like coming home. We'll tell anyone who will listen (and we have been) to go and try it. We will definitely be going back and we're bringing along some friends.

The waiter made a great recommendation and was very friendly and helpful. The owner was lovely and checked in with us to make sure we were enjoying our meal. The food was absolutely incredible!

The prices were very reasonable, including the wine. Highly recommend!

They're only open for pick up orders so I recommend to call ahead. There's daily and weekend specials as well as lunch special that's about $8. I highly recommend everything off the menu but in particular the beef akhni, chicken samosas, and mogo left me craving more. Portions are well sized too so we were not left hungry but still craved the taste. I would definitely include this as a pitstop in my day if visiting Vancouver.

Ethiopian restaurant along Edmonds...So many good line up of resto in here and I am trying them all…read moreone by one....Today is the Abyssinia. Another place that showcased their cultures with the interior designs and decors.Large TV playing sports events, small size restaurants, They serves alcoholic beverages. Free street parking...not a problem... No appez available from the menu...thats weird.... Spices are heavily used in African cuisines this is the reason why the place smells good but that will stick in your clothing....just saying.... They cook chicken, beef, fish, lamb and veggies on a very exotic way and take note hotly spiced dishes. Service is a bit poor when i came, not busy but it seems like the waitress can not focus, I asked for hot water and she gave me cold ones, my food was served and no cutlery and even napkins, none really until i asked for it. I got the Ye-asa Kifto(fish) minced lean fish mixed with mitmita. and butter.The butter is enhanced with koseref that gives distinct flavor, comes with Ethiopian salad on the side. FYI: MItmita is an orange-red color powdered seasoning that contains ground African bird's eye chili pepper, usually has cumin, cinnamon, and ginger. the dish i ordered was really hot and heavily spiced, halfway my meal my nose drips hahahha, It will surely triggered your sleeping hemorrhoids even the salad was spicy, but still it was an excellent dish. Next time i would like to try meat dishes but that is not soon....

As a fan of Ethiopian food, I had to come out here to try this place, as I'd tried all the others…read morein Vancouver. We dined in, sitting on their patio, and got the vegetable platter for 2 ($12.50 plus tax per person). You get a really nice plate of 5 different dishes--the standard Ethiopian dishes. Their misir wat was especially tasty, amply spicy and rich. You get plenty of injera to scoop up the food, but you can always ask for more. Very friendly service. I'd say this ranks up there among the best Ethiopian places in Vancouver -- it's just more no frills in terms of the atmosphere and whatnot. I'd return, but perhaps do takeout. Recommended.

It's a good space for a large group. I love their ambience, it's very tastefully done and really encapsulates the theme of the restaurant. For drinks, I got their jungle juice which was really good! It had pineapple juice, passion fruit, and others. Perfect for the summer. For food, I got their Cassava Mogo (LOVE! so much better than fries and twice as crispy and flavourful). Honestly, filled myself up with these before the mains even came out. I also got their mishkaki choma which was good. Will definitely be back!

A combo meal consisting of double chicken legs, one side, and soda is available for $17. Our selections included the veri peri chicken legs combo with Caesar salad and coke; the chicken exhibited a slight spiciness but was fresh, hot, and juicy. The Caesar salad featured a substantial amount of dressing. The super peri chicken legs paired with peri fries and ice tea were also a highlight, with the peri fries being especially flavorful. Furthermore, the chicken Caesar wrap with Caesar salad contained a multitude of tasty ingredients. It is also worth noting that the restaurant provides complimentary refills on soda drinks. The service was characterized by its speed and friendliness.

From the outside, it looks a bit sketchy -- there aren't really any unblocked windows. When I went…read moreinside, there were people smoking hukas and whatnot, and I was asked whether I was there to smoke or to eat. They do both Mediterranean and Ethiopian cuisines, and I came here for the Ethiopian -- they had a veggie combo ($18 plus tax) which what I came for. The food came out in less than 5 minutes -- I guess the dishes are all prepared in advance. The platter came with misir wot (red lentils), yellow lentils, shiro (smoked chickpea), and a yellow cabbage dish, with a green salad and 3 extra pieces of injera. First, props to the salad -- so many Ethiopian places give you a lame green salad with iceberg lettuce; this had some nice leafy greens with cucumber and tomato, and a very nice tangy dressing. All 4 of the hot dishes were excellent, especially the misir wot and yellow lentils. Huge portions, which makes the rather steep price ($18) worth it (this is higher than any veggie combo at any other Ethiopian places in Vancouver). To round it off, the service was excellent -- the young woman serving me was very friendly, helpful and quick. This is now one of my top spots for Ethiopian in Greater Van. Very much recommended.

Loved the generous portion size allowing you to eat to full satisfaction and beyond. It was a veggie feast with a nice kick and made you feel good after eating it!
