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.

We tried the yebeg Witt (spicy lamb stew), chicken, tibs with a vegetarian combo. Everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked-- nothing was too salty. I loved the degree of spice in the lamb. Her injera, both the regular and 100% teff flour versions, are so good-- springy with just the right tanginess. Come here for amazing food made by a gem of a lady.

Food was delicious here. A bit pricy for Ethiopian but one of the best in the area for sure…read more One critique: make the 100% teff injeera always available. (I was told I had to pre order it 2 days in advance usually to eat it in the restaurant. It seemed I got lucky as a party of 1 they had some they could serve to me)

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.

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.

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. Doro wot, doro tibes, gomen, atkilt wot, split peas, lentils - every vegetable offering is amazing! (fyi, closed on Tuesdays!)

I had the Traditional Plate with Lamb and Misir (Lentils) as the side. The dish came with injera (a spongy flatbread that you eat the meal with). I also ordered an additional side of the Tikal Gomen (cabbage) and a Sambusa. Everything was so flavorful and delicious. I have zero complaints and definitely recommend this place and will be back. All around a great experience.

It's hidden inside the back of the milk market in a nice area with plenty of tables. There were a few other people, and it was hard to tell. Where was the line and where was the food coming out of and who was doing what. I ordered a typical dish with a meat, a rice and injera. I felt like the textures were a bit too similar with the lentils, the rice and the meat all being somewhat mushy, however, the flavors were good and very present. For a quick pick me up at less than $15 it's still a good deal

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!

Upon arriving, you can notice that the market and the restaurant are connected in case customers need some ingredients, spices, etc. We were unsure what to order since it was all of our first time trying Ethiopian food. Our server gave us some suggestions and we ended up ordering the Mogne Tibs and a Veggie combo. We didn't know how to eat the veggie combo and our server gave us tip on how to take bites of different items. The Monge Tibs had a generous spice kick. Overall, delicious gamble of food for trying the first time and service was awesome. Interior of the restaurant was decored to reflect the atmosphere of the food. We even got to speak with one of the co-owners and told us her story how the menu is not westerenized, the restaurant has been passed down from a few family members, and why they chose to come to Denver.

The menu prices are quite high, and when my order arrived, the portion sizes were surprisingly small for what I paid. It feels completely overpriced for the amount of food you actually get. Unfortunately, it's hard to justify ordering again when you leave hungry after spending so much. !!!! Update/Note on owner's response: The owner replied claiming I ordered carryout or plantains, but she is clearly confusing me with another customer. I ordered through a delivery app and got the stew and fufu, which was both very overpriced and unfilling. Please be cautious; management doesn't seem to track orders accurately and attempts to dismiss valid feedback.
