What people say, in short
Commenters recommend The Abyssinian on Racecourse Road for Ethiopian food. Sources variously describe the location as Kensington or Flemington; that wording does not establish separate branches. The endorsements include a personal favourite and praise for the food, but most give little detail about dishes. The evidence supports this restaurant, not an invented comparison between outlets.
