The food is SO GOOD. We had to jump over all kinds of obstacles to get here because of construction but it was well worth it. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Warm and cozy interior.
My friend comes here at least once a week and it did not disappoint. The service was excellent and everyone was really nice. The food came out hot, yummy, and plenty to share with a friend. I will be back for sure!
How many people get tricked by the weird door situation here? Or maybe it's just me. You walk into the main entrance of Ethiopian Restaurant and immediately wonder how much seating there is, turn the corner, and realize that's a whole other half. I'm sure they could fit long tables of groups here, as their combination platters are designed for many people. There were 5 of us, and we ordered Combination I - plenty of food for everyone! I love eating Ethiopian food, scooping mouthfuls of spiced meat and veggies with injera, which I learned is NOT gluten-free. The chicken was surprisingly one of my favorites, and I can't remember what else. Definitely bring people, and go for the combos if you come here!
Came to Denver for a weekend and decided to try Ethiopian food. It was really cold outside and the food felt so cozy, like a hug. Server was really kind and explained how to eat the food as it was our first time trying it. I recommend it blindly!!! I think it's great to go with a group or friends
Food was fantastic! Authentic Ethiopian and the chicken drum sticks in curry sauce was by far the best dish from the Combo platter 1. Service was nothing spectacular, inside of restaurant was nice so don't be turned off by the entrance. All in all you should come here for the food which was very tasty.
Amazing flavors, family run since the 80's. The kitchen is small as is the dining room with one lovely lady running front of house by herself so only come if you have time to relax and enjoy. The flavors of dishes were incredible although the beef and lamb could have been more tender. Would definitely recommend to a friend and will be back. Favorite dish was the Misir Wat.
One of the best places you can go for a bite in Denver. Bring a big group, the servings are fun to share and you'll have the opportunity to try a lot. The team is caring, quick, and make it an all around amazing place to stop in!
I have tried a few Ethiopian spots around town, but I may have found my favorite. Our friends were craving Ethiopian for quite some time and we finally made time to make it up to Denver for dinner together. I rarely crave Ethiopian, but this may have changed my palate to want it more. This is off Colfax, so it could be challenging on some nights to find street parking, but we were lucky and didn't have too much trouble. It's a small operation with a few people being the cooks and waiter. There are probably about 15 tables available and it was surprisingly busy for a Tuesday evening. It's a cozy spot, but they do have a table to accommodate a bigger party. For the price you get A LOT of food. We decided to order the combo 1 for everyone and it has a little bit of everything for you to try. The tray was big enough to serve the jolly green giant. It is huge. The spicy chicken stew was tender and the sauce has a bit of a kick. We really loved the cabbage and potatoes. It's so simple, but for some reason the flavors just go so well with the injera ( their flatbread). We also really liked the yellow lentils, it was so well seasoned. Everything was just delicious. All the dishes had their own unique flavors and paired seamlessly with the injera. We had enough leftovers for another meal the next evening. This restaurant by far has had the best seasoning and overall flavors. I highly recommend this spot if you've never been.
It was my very first time trying Ethiopian food and wow - this place is great! Being new to the cuisine and not sure where to start, I split the vegetarian combo and the spicy meats combo with a few friends so everyone could try a bit of everything. SO good. As soon as we all started digging in, all you could hear around the table was "Oh my gosh, you gotta try this!" and "Have you tried this one yet? It's amazing!" Table favorites included the collard greens, the green lentils, the split peas, and the stewed beef. The Injera (spongy Ethiopian bread) was the perfect amount of sour - it really enhanced the flavors of the dishes. If you love spicy food, you're in luck! Their spicy chicken and spicy lentils definitely pack a punch. In addition to delicious food, they also have a friendly, efficient staff. The aesthetic of the restaurant is very no-frills-authentic; the focus is where it should be - on the food. If you're looking for a great place to enjoy stellar Ethiopian food, look no further!
I loved the bread and how it worked perfectly with everything we had. I wish the food was a bit spicier though. I liked how each part had a unique taste and all worked together well. I will be getting the bread again.
This place is a major hidden gem and I was so bummed to drive by the other day and see construction blocking the restaurant. If you're looking for a flavor packed meal and like the option of eating with your hands, this is the spot for you. When we visited the Ethiopian restaurant with a group of eight, they managed to seat our big group efficiently, even though it's a small space. The service was awesome and they delivered multiple mind-blowing platters of food to our table effortlessly. Our vegetarians and our meat eaters alike were extremely happy. I live nearby and have not had a chance to return since my first visit, but you bet that I recommend friends to go here whenever they are looking for a new spot to eat. read more
The food here was delicious! I knew it would be because I've had it as take out. From the outside it doesn't stand out very much but on the inside there is lots of seating and beautiful decoration. We over stayed our welcome because we were unaware of the time they closed but they were very nice about it and never rushed us! Will definitely be coming back. read more

The vegan combo plate... LOVER. The taste was like a sonnet written with the purest form of love. They might as well have named it the "Romancing Your Mouth" plate. I felt sorrow the minute the meal was over. If you want a meal that makes you swoon, this food will CHARM YOU. read more

I took a lovely woman on a date tonight and this is the restaurant she chose. The parking is sketchy and simply on street parking on East Colfax. It's not an especially good area. The restaurant itself is wonderful. The food is authentic and especially tasty. Such a wonderful variety of cuisine to choose from. The service is prompt and courteous. The bill was even reasonable. I wish they had a dessert of some kind. read more

I've been coming here for 26 years! It's been the best Ethiopian in Denver for as long as I can remember! read more
LOVE this restaurant. Every time we are in Denver we hit this place up. It is run by a Ethiopian family who do it all! Cook, host, serve, everything! We tried the Ethiopian beer they offered which was very tasty! It had a strong yeasty flavor to it which I don't encounter very often. Between three people we shared the option #2 platter. It was just enough for all of us to get stuffed with a little left over. It would be perfect for 4 people to split. The owner came out and told us how to eat and what we were eating. The beef and spicy lentils were our favorite! The injera bread was super soft and flavorful. 10/10 would recommend! read more

This restaurant is very unassuming from the outside and a true HIDDEN GEM! This place is super charming and homey inside. The combos make it easy to order if you are new to Ethiopian food too. It's fairly priced considering how much meat you get and the labor it takes to make the dishes. I liked how their injera was thin, crepe-like, and not too sour. The dishes were flavorful and not too overpowering. I also loved how the server poured each dish individually. read more
This is a must stop in Denver. It's an unassuming little restaurant on Colfax, but it is SO worth a visit. They have a great open kitchen as you walk in, and then a separate dining area. They have a large menu, and I would recommend any of the combos if you're looking for some variety! They have both vegetarian and meat options for the specials and they have a 2-3 person "requirement " but you can always just order up to fill that. You get a nice serving of injera (think and tangy crepe-like) as the vessel to eat your main dish. The flavors are out of this world, and you will not be disappointed with whatever you order! read more

I still love this place. The vegetarian combo 3 was phenomenal. Tons of food for two people - we couldn't finish it though we tried our best. The guys got some beef dishes, which they seemed to enjoy. The yellow split peas and the spiced collard greens were my favorite. The next best was mixing a bite with the green lentils and spicy red lentils. As I write this I just want to go back and eat more of the food along with the spongey and fresh engira. Hopefully I'll be back sooner rather than later! But beware - cash only and slow. That's how Ethiopian places go though - no rush and don't expect to eat for at least 30 minutes after you order. read more
