    A medley of lentils and veggies including gomen, misir wat, kik alicha, dorowat, shiro wat, and awaze tibs
    Kevin W.

    What a gem along Iliff and Quebec! I love trying new Ethiopian restaurants and Denver has a great selection to choose from. I may have found the best one so far. The place is small and you probably have passed by this place a million times if you live in the area. The restaurant is clean and the family the owns it are very nice and caring. We obviously went with the staple of lentils, cabbage and awaze tibs. Each dish is like eating a individual flavor station, don't underestimate the power of Ethiopian spices; it may just look like a plate of lentils, but wow! They are full of flavor. What I love about eating this way is that I can approach each pile individually or mix them to create new flavors. The awaze tibs are the best in town! I highly recommend it. I went with medium spice and honestly feels more like a mild. The injera is plentiful, and has nice bounce to it. One of the best injeras I've had here. You won't be disappointed, Ethiopian food is one my favorites and it's healthy as well!

    Wow! I have been dying to try out this East African Cafe near me. I read online that they serve Ethiopian and Eritrean food which I haven't had a whole lot of in the past. The food was amazingly flavorful! I ordered the Awaze TIBS which were marinated beef cubes with some spices and onions. I wasn't sure what the bread was but it was so soft and complimented the rest of the dish nicely. Our waitress was friendly and helped explain the menu ingredients and dishes to us and also served us drinks at the bar. There is plenty of seating and the whole vibe of the place felt modern but also like a hole in the wall type of spot, which is the best. The owner also invited us to change the music on his iPad, which controlled the tunes in the restaurant but we loved the local east African music they had on. I can't wait to come back and try their breakfast sandwiches

    We stopped here randomly as we were in the area. I got the egg sandwich and my boyfriend got the scramble. Everything seemed very fresh! The egg sandwich was a large portion! Came with bell peppers, avocado, onions, and I think jicama. The eggs were cooked perfectly! I could only finish half. My boyfriend loved his scramble which was served with a side of delicious bread. They didn't have ice tea, so I had some of my boyfriends coffee. The coffee was excellent! The staff was very friendly!!! We were pleasantly surprised to find this place!

The portions were very generous and fairly priced. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. The congee with dick confit was incredibly flavorful and the breakfast quesadillas were excellent and even better with the side of pork green chile. I will be back! The inside is small but they make good use of the space with tightly packed tables and bar seating. On a weekday we had no trouble finding a seat. The uptown location had construction going on nearby which made the beautiful outdoor patio less ideal but was very quiet from inside. Free 2 hour parking along 18th Ave and side streets

We snagged a table against the opposite wall and looked over the menu before ordering at the counter. What's great about an early visit to Onefold? Breakfast Burrito and Bacon Fried Rice are both on early am Happy Hour! HH for the win. My burrito was just the right size and tasty. My coworkers made me a bit jealous with their Bacon Fried Rice. I will be trying that next time. I'm convinced cooking the potatoes in duck fat and the chili oil made our stomachs happy. There are so many unique things here to try. This is a place I'll brave the parking again for!

Every once in a while, I like to come visit my old neighborhood just for the memories. We like to go to the Cherry Tomato across the street because it was the Park Hill Drug Store when I lived on the block, but it doesn't open until later. So, this place is right across the street, and we stopped in. We were delighted. For us, it was just what a small cafe should be. It was open, friendly, and very good. I had the Vegetarian Green Chili, and found it to be as good, or better than any similar chili I've had in my entire life. I also had a plain, black coffee - dark roast - and it, too, was perfect. Most of all, I enjoyed looking around, watching the world go by, and enjoying these fine products in a friendly, comfortable, and inviting environment. There is plenty of room to move around, they do a good job of keeping things clean, and all of the staff are very nice, and accommodating. I do not live close to here, but I would come in every day if I did. I definitely will come back, and I definitely will recommend it to everyone I know. We LOVED it.
