Ethiopian Restaurant, Denver

Food was delicious, but the incense was so strong we couldn't smell the food

I agree with the last reviewer, this place is a gem along Colfax. The food is delicious, the service is good and it's just an all around good little restaurant. I usually can't pronounce the names of what I'm ordering and I'm not quite sure what I'm getting, but it's always good.

Firstly, I LOVE Ethiopian food. And this hole-in-the-wall on east Colfax is no exception. Interior is similar to what you'd expect to see in say, Ethiopia. Nothing special. But the FOOD. So delicious, rich, plentiful. Highly recommended - and do not be frightened by the decor.

I went to the Ethipoian Restaurant with a group of people last weekend, and it was such an awesome experience. The atmosphere was very authentic and the owner was extremely nice and accommodating. As for the food, it was great! We ordered the number 2 combination plate (that is shared with a minimum of 4 people), and it was a hit with everyone. I loved everything it came with, especially the bread and the lamb with the cabbage and potatoes. I would highly recommend the Ethiopian Restaurant to other people! The food, service, and atmosphere are definitely worth the time and money. I will be going back again very soon!

Whenever we want Ethiopian - this is where we go. Food is great and owner is very friendly. You can tell they put most of their effort into the food and the service, so don't be put off by the dive-ish appearance, it's part of its charm.

I have been going to all the ethiopian restaurans in denver since i moved here 3 years ago. i think thsi place is really good. the food does take a while but is worth it. i also discovered this other place " Selam" around colfax and rosemary..somewhere around uinta..their food is really good and not too long a wait ;)..Selam's tibsy is the best in my experience

... and I still crave the food. Who cares if it is a dive. The food is wonderful and the owner is very friendly! I love going there with my partner and close friends for a good dinner out.

I love the food, and the owner is a wonderful guy with a compelling life story. Don't miss this one. Oh, and Kurat Kurat, that is Ethipian Christian music which is awsome too. Find it on Youtube.

I love the food here and the staff is wonderful. I had to bring my own containers for a large take-out order (for 10 people), but it was worth it. Never have a problem getting a table.

This is an excellent Ethiopian restaurant. Many of the dishes are consistently phenomenal -- I think the red lentils and the lamb dishes are the best that I have ever had (and I eat Ethiopian everywhere I travel). However, if you want a vegitarian plate with greens, the greens must be ordered as a side, and the whole meal comes to around $13. The same meal can be had down the road at Africana for $7.50, And, the injera is not a whole teff injera, but seems to have a certain amount of white flour -- that is okay, but I prefer the whole teff injera, as served at Abyssinia. The environment is friendly, but I have never seen Ethiopians eating there. They all seem to be eating down the road at Africana. Like in most Ethiopian restaurants, be prepared to wait a bit.
