The service depends on the timing - when it's busy it may take longer because they're making a lot of the food fresh. As someone who grew up in Ethiopian culture I love the music and chill atmosphere and tvs, feels very cozy. The staff is friendly and courteous, and like in our culture they're hospitable and make sure customers have what they need and like the food. The only reason I give four stars is I don't love everything on the menu. My honest opinion is that I wouldn't get the veggie combo here (better at megenagna) just the shiro and maybe the fasolia and carrot). I haven't tried their tibs yet so maybe that'll be next, but the quanta and shifenfen is pretty good (just heavy and a bit oily so better to share and get with a veggie dish)!

Ethiopian food is my absolute fave and one of the reasons I was excited to move back to Denver, as…read morethere is no shortage of great Ethiopian eats in the 303. Amid this COVID era, I was excited to find that Addis Ababa delivers to me. We've ordered it twice so far and have had very solid experiences. At any Ethiopian restaurant, I tend to go for the veggie and meat combos, as I really do love everything on the menu and this is a solid way to try it all. If I had to play favorites, I'd say that the kik alicha (split yellow peas), atakilt wot (cabbage, carrots, and potatoes), split red lentils, and beef tibs are the offerings you have to fight me for. One veggie plus one meat combo is enough for my husband and I to end up more than full. We usually start with vegetable sambusas as well. It all ends up around $40 which is a good deal in my book. I would definitely love to check out this restaurant IRL once the pandemic is behind us but for now, I'm thankful I can get their tasty eats delivered right to me!

We ordered the fried fish and halal beef dinner plate and both were really tasty. The food tastes homey and flavorful. Ask for extra green sauce.

Can't speak for the ambiance but know I will continue to order this place and that you should too.

We were a little nervous walking in as it looked kinda dark and was empty, but the chef-turned waiter-turned hostess came out quickly and had us sit wherever we wanted. The menu is extensive so if this is a one man show, very impressed by the variety! Our food was ready quickly and hot and delicious! Best gluten free injera we have tried in the city so far.

I remember we ordered a giant platter with all the meat and all the veggies and split it four ways. I had never had injera bread before and it was quite an experience for me.

My son and I visited Akwaba for lunch today (July 2024) anticipating tasting Egusi soup and fufu…read more Upon arrival at the restaurant, a woman and a young boy were behind the counter. We stood there awkwardly because they looked at us but continued to talk without greeting us. We sat ourselves and still were not greeted. I intended to create a reel of our first time trying Akwaba and our egusi as the reviews were phenomenal, so I made my way over to the counter to let the staff know that I was making a video. They acted like they didn't understand me, but maybe they didn't, so I kindly kept explaining, and they finally agreed, but the woman was seemingly very annoyed with me. I went back to my seat and had to wait quite some time for the young boy to come and take our drink order. He was kind, but mainly on his phone behind the counter for most of our experience. When ordering egusi, I asked for recommendations and he recommended lamb but said it was most popular with goat. We ordered two egusi meals, fufu and one order of rice. As our drinks were gone, we were never asked if we wanted water or checked on in any way. Our egusi soup and fufu dishes were brought out one at a time. As soon as the food was approaching, as strong smell of animal poop and the bottom of the ocean came upon us. The food literally smelled like it was going bad. These smells weren't spices - they were literally rotten. Of course, we hadn't ever had egusi, so we weren't sure if this was right. Upon tasting the soup, it tasted awful. I forced about 4 bites and could not eat anymore. My son tried to pretend a bit longer than I did, but mid-bite, his stomach started to hurt. For about 12ish minutes, we sat there with full plates trying to figure out what to do. The young boy, still on his phone, never looked up to check on us or ask how we were doing - although we shared with him while ordering that this experience was new for us. I never saw the woman again. My son eventually called for the young server and asked for to go bowls, to be polite. We really had no intention of eating the food but for some reason, we felt bad about leaving full plates on the table. Potentially because of the cost as well? We asked for our check and paid $78, including a $10 tip that was above what was deserved. When coming home, I showed my husband the plates as the "soup" looked much different than what we have typically seen on IG and YouTube. There was no broth and the smell was very distinct, like bad seafood. My husband took a bite of the lamb soup. He placed it in the microwave and took a bite. He was disgusted. Our kitchen smelled terrible. Maybe an hour later, my husband got diarrhea and my son and I both now have upset stomachs. Reflecting back, I am very upset about the overall experience and spending my hard earned money. I did notice that the green color in the egusi is darker than other fresh egusi photos that I found online. I really believe there may be an issue with your food used to make the soup. Looking on Google just now, I see that I am not alone in my experience. I am truly disgusted and disappointed. I am questioning whether the staff disliked us and purposely gave us the oldest egusi available or if the soup was growing old and we were mistakenly served. Either way, we don't feel well and have been affected.

The class comes with time to cook a dish, as well as eat the dish and other prepared foods. The feast is DELICIOUS. The food was so flavorful, well prepared, and abundant. The cooking class itself was a little lackluster. We just mixed ingredients together in the pan. It would've been great to get to do a little more interactive steps, like chopping or other prep for a more complex dish. We also didn't get a coffee tasting like a lot of other events have had. All in all, it's still a fun activity for a night out, but if you're priority is getting the best value, it might be worth just getting the food rather than paying the extra money for the cooking class for not too much more value.

The ambiance was warm and welcoming, especially Rahel's cheerful genuine smile. The service was fast and the food was freshly prepared, full of flavor! The awaze tibs and shkla was incredibly rich, flavorful, well-balanced, and perfectly seasoned. Not too much salt and oil (in tigrigna we say Eid ybarik ). The portions were great, enough for all of us. Rahel made us feel like we were at home. I give this place of business 10/10! Thank you!!!!

I have been eating Ethiopian food for years. This is the WORST experience…read more The Injera was very sour/spoiled and very thin. The Derek tibs were like rocks. Way too hard to eat and the veggie platter was terrible. I literally COULDN'T EAT THE FOOD. I called them and the lady on the phone said she was unaware what happened and she would speak to the manager and get back to me. She never did and stopped answering my calls. The CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKS. Save your money and wait until you get to an area with a significant Ethiopian community. This food was made for people that might not know what they should be tasting.

This place is great for a group!…read more You order at the counter (no splitting the bill issue). Then, you grab tables either indoors, covered outdoors or sunny outdoors. They have curtains & heaters on the patio to make the covered outdoors, indoors. We hit this place up at not the best time, lunchtime on a Sunday. The salad/cabbage had seen better days and the Pita was second-day dry. But, the Kofta & Gyro had good flavor, the rice was great and holy crap the garlic sauce was great. Need to try the Gyro sandwich or Hummus next time. The experience was good enough that we are planning ahead to gather here before our next outing to Fox or Vintage Theater. The food was good, the dining area is stellar. Oh, and there's parking. Like 5 spaces, but there is legit off street parking for the restaurant.
