I’ve been coming here for years! The food is always delicious. Sometimes long wait times depending on what time of day but the food is so delicious that it’s worth the wait… sometimes!

I spend at least $125 per week. I do not know if the cook changed or if they are tired of my business but they sold me something different when I order the same plate every day. They put way too much rosemary?? Almost puked

I have been going here for years now and the food is wonderful. However, I went for dinner with a friend and I had the worst customer service ( I felt mistreated ). When paying, she gave me my change back. However completely ignored the details to explain to me that there was a coin shortage until I noticed there was and when I brought it to her attention, she laughed at me saying she only had pennie’s. Implying that there was no way I could get my exact amount back. I would’ve stopped there had she not laughed at me when I gave her a quarter telling her we can rounded up to a dollar. No she went out of her way to laugh with another customer saying (A this for a dollar!!). That was so rude and uncalled for. I really think all the situation could’ve been avoided and handled in a much better way or manner. It saddens me to say this, but I will never come back to this establishment. I do not tolerate to be disrespected/laughed at especially when I’m trying to pay for the goods and services that I received. I hope that this incident doesn’t happen to anyone else in the future and that the staff will be trained on proper etiquette and customer service. I would like to hear back from a manager ( or somebody in upper management) because I really felt disregarded and dismissed.

We came to this restaurant seeing decent reviews and recommendation from our Uber driver. The service was too slow. Our first dish came quick enough but the main entree took almost 40 min and that too all veggie dishes were cold in veggie combo. They also forgot that we had ordered a chicken dish. Fortunately that came in after additional 5-6 min and that was great. If it wasn’t for the chicken dish, I’d have given 1 star.

The food is incredible I literally crave it all the time and get really excited when I’m able to come. It tastes so authentic and there’s no other Ethiopian spot in the Denver metro area that I think is as good.

Delicious! The beef tips were great. The kid ordered the beef sambusa and the another one for the road she loved it so much. Definitely my go-to Ethiopian spot from now on.

My Ethiopian friend had me try Nile as an introduction to his cuisine. It is delicious! While the wait is a drawback and service okay, their food makes up for it! Our favorites are the kitfo and lamb tips. Their teff is also very good.

I don’t leave a lot of reviews but this place deserves a much higher rating – it was amazing! I used to live in Washington, DC, which has some of the best Ethiopian food in the country, and this place was easily as good. Everything is cooked from scratch and you can tell. The injera is delicious – light and sour – and I highly recommend the lamb tips. But everything we had was perfection. Truly a wonderful dining experience.
