This used to be our favorite Ethiopian spot until our most recent take out experience…read more We called to order two vegetarian combos at 5:30 and were told told to come in pick up at 5:45. When we get there at 5:45, we notice that the food is packed up in a medium (9"x13") sized aluminum pan with lid. In the past we'd gotten our meals in two styrofoam take out boxes with plenty of food so I was initially excited to see the new packaging because I believed the quantity would be the same or more. We get home 5 mins later and were sorely disappointed by our order. There were plenty of lentils but the orange ones were undercooked and lacked flavor. There were only about two bites of the collard greens/Gomen wat. And usually Mama África supplies more potatoes spears with their carrot and cabbage side, this time, we also only got two bites of the cabbage, no potatoes. Not to mention, the green beans were definitely canned and had no additional flavor to them. We asked for a side of chickpea soup/shiro wat and were disappointed to find that it too lacked flavor and was mostly oil. The worst part in addition to all the above was that the food was cold and the injera tasted stale and lacked its usual sourness. To add insult to injury, the meal was nearly 70 dollars in total for something that barely fed one person. This was the first time I ever wanted to ask for a refund for our food because we barely received one portion of the veggie combo, not the two we paid for. I hate to leave a one star review for a small business but the quality and quantity of food went down drastically.

Everything was good. There were some veggies that we didn't really love but still good. The food took a while to come out. We waited about 40 mins but understood that they seems to be family owned business so they don't have too many people working. There are plenty of parking. Overall it was not bad and good flavor! Will be back to try other dishes here.

The food took a LONG time, we got there when they opened and the food took a little over an hour to arrive. We were the first party in and maybe the 4th party to get our food. There were more lamb and beef options, most items are jalapeños based and spicy. They do make items not as spicy if needed. We ordered the vegetarian combo plate to share with the Beef Derek Tibs and Beef Lega Tibs. Lots of African customers in the restaurant for birthday celebration so I'm sure they are legit. We were told that they were the best Ethiopian food in Denver. The Ethiopian spiced tea was also yummy. Definitely a treat!

We decided to get the veggie and meat combos and everything was flavored so well and there wasn't a single thing we didn't like.

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.

The owner was there that day and talked to us about our experience and shared details about how they make their Injera and how when done traditionally, it is fermented and made with teff flour rather than wheat. She also mentioned that some Ethiopian restaurants don't make it the traditional way and asked us to see if we noticed a difference in the taste and how heavy things felt after eating. She was absolutely right. Their food was delicious and their Injera not only tasted better but it also did not leave us with that uncomfortably full and heavy sensation. This has now become a favorite for both my husband and I. All of the food is delicious and authentic. My husband is a meat eater and I am a vegan and we both find wonderful, enjoyable food to eat here. The service is great as well!

When discussing Denver's Ethiopian restaurants, quite a few seem to get the bulk of the attention…read morefrom the local populace. But don't overlook Lucy near Colfax/Quebec - it's full of fresh and flavorful (and also filling) favorites served in a clean and inviting space. One of my favorite offerings there is the chicken stirfry known as Yedoro Tibs in Amharic and Nay Tibsi Derho in Tigrinya. Redolent with the spice mixture Berbere and sided with soft supple rounds of the teff-based flatbread variously called Injera or Tayta, the dish is served in plentiful portions, ensuring that prospective diners will be suitably satiated. However, I can also attest to the potato stew (Yedinich Wot / Tsebhi Dinish) I sampled on my most recent visit to Lucy. This dish is a bit more mild, utilizing seasonings such as turmeric and ginger for a mellower mouthfeel. Nevertheless, the savory sauce is still a worthy accompaniment to the sizable chunks of potato and carrot which can be found within it. I was very pleased by my meal. But honestly, anything you try at Lucy is sure to be a winner, so stop by and check out one of Colfax's less-heralded Habesha gems.

I went here for my first time trying Ethiopian food and at first I was a little skeptical but it…read morewas very good. I would like to say if it's your first time just know the "bread" ingera is more sour-ish and is kind of an acquired taste. I would say I have been here many many times now and have taken to go and eaten in small groups and bigger groups. I would say the area is definitely very beautiful and cultural. The take out doesn't really give you the experience so I would say eating there is better. I wouldn't say costumer service is above and beyond but they definitely are nice and have helped us taking out food to go and check on us to see how we're doing. The food is definitely more expensive than I would wish but lots of time and effort go into making the food so it is nice to splurge on this kind of food. Now since I have been here many times, every time the food is amazing and hot (not spicy hot but temp hot) waiting time isn't too long and it's usually nice and quiet enough to hear your friends not too quiet where you can hear a pen drop. FYI they are not welcome to outside food/drink in case one person wants other food.
