Abay Ethiopian Cuisine
130 S. Highland Avenue
Pittsburgh, PA 15206

Enjoy Pittsburgh's first Ethiopian restaurant in an authentic atmosphere which captures the warmth and zest of Ethiopian culture while adding diversity to Pittsburgh's cultural landscape.

Abay (sounds like "uh-by") will finally introduce Pittsburgh to a cuisine found in every other livable American city. Cobalt-blue walls, the color of the Blue Nile — "Abay" is the Amharic name for the storied river — greet visitors in the foyer, with earth tones prevalent inside. Backless, hand-made stools surround a few mesobs — traditional, basket-like tables — at the front of the restaurant, with an abundance of regular tables and chairs available as well. Original Ethiopian art and artifacts decorate the walls.

Jamie Wallace, Owner, hopes Abay can play a role in reversing the impression of Pittsburgh as a city lacking diversity.
