Terrific food. Unpretentious atmosphere and service. Had the spicy lamb, mild chicken, and collard greens. Accepted CC just fine.

I’ve eaten Ethiopian cuisine only several times in my life, so I can’t say I’m an expert on their food. I will say this was one of the best I’ve ever eaten. Enjoyed everything. Fantastic.

If you haven’t been to an Ethiopian restaurant before, do not expect a normal restaurant where they hand you forks and knives. Most likely they’ll pour your stew straight onto injera bread on a plate and you’ll eat it like a fajita

This place is awesome! The food was super authentic and unlike anything else I’ve had. Great staff and the waitress said it was her mom making the food and you could tell! Every bite had that home cooking love and care!

It was a great experience on all fronts. We (table of 6) ordered the combination one with extra side of collard greens and beer. The server brought us all a different beer, and that was a beautiful surprise! Food was amazing and service was great! Everyone’s favorite was the lamb stew.

My husband and I absolutely love this place. We started going there when we were just dating and now we go for special date nights without the babies. It doesn’t look like much front the outside but the food is so good and the servers are so kind.

A dining experience! If you, like me, are new to Ethiopian cuisine start here! We felt very welcomed from the beginning and throughout our meal. Our server was so pleasant and patiently explained the menu, made great suggestions. The atmosphere is relaxed, but a little dark. This would be a super fun start to a staycation of around the world dining!

Absolutely delicious Ethiopian food. Place is very unassuming from the outside but it is 100% worth going inside. Some of the best Ethiopian we have had!

OMG! Go here. The food was so f$#ng good!! We got the big plate for three and it was a bit too much for three women but no regrets, we almost finished the whole thing! Everything was flavorful and rich. We couldn’t stop eating.

Came here on the recommendation of a Denver native friend and was blown away by the food – authentic and so so delicious. Got one of the combos and couldn’t stop eating but still felt healthy and great afterward. Also loved the relaxed vibe and friendly staff. I can’t wait to visit again.
