  This was a fun adventure. The restaurant has a great outdoor seating, fun for enjoying the seasons with friends or family. The sample platter was wonderful as it has good portions of many of their delicious and savory dishes. Their sour dough flatbread, injera, very much like a sour dough crepe was a surprise only to find out that traditionally, this is what is used to eat with, instead of silverware. Since our first visit we have been back again this time bringing more friends. Recommended.

  I come here every time I visit. The food is fantastic (and authentic-I'm Eritrean), and the setting is intimate & casual. I don't know the history of the place, but since I see the same servers and staff here, I would guess it's a family-oriented establishment. Plenty of nearby parking, and the waitstaff is friendly. For those who are in need, you can buy ingredients to make your own food, or a platter of injera to go. ***There are forks available for the faint of heart! But really, you won't need one. They even provide steamed washcloths to clean up with after your meal.

  I love this place! Food is amazing, the staff is always so nice. The owners are almost always there and amazingly hospitable. Definitely a must stop place if you've never been. Also, try the coffee. Any to-do list you have for the day will disappear. Bonus points for having a buffet at lunch with tons of vegetarian/vegan dishes

  I wasn't fond of this place. The lunch buffet was a good idea, so I could try a variety of dishes. It was spicy, but not too spicy. Lentils appeared in most of the dishes. The soup (squash and lentil) and the Inguday Watt (mushroom and lentil) dishes were the best. The flat bread that you're supposed to eat with had a strange, almost citrus flavor to it. This place reminded me of a less spicy, less diverse Indian buffet.

  I’ve had Ethiopian food all over the US and this one comes in pretty near the top. (Nothing has topped Denver’s selection yet though) My old neighbor is Ethiopian and she too thinks this is good for a restaurant, although nothing compares to homemade foods. If you’ve never had Ethiopian food, let your guard down and give it a try, you may be pleasantly surprised. Branch out and enjoy! For all the naysayers posts, just remember that people have different tastes and some people never like anything.
