BEST Ethiopian food in Denver. I’ve been coming here for over 15 years. I’ve been to every other Ethiopian restaurant on Colfax and this place is by far the best. The prices cannot be beaten and the food tastes BETTER too! The owner and cooks are so kind and say hello every time I come in. If you’re looking for excellent food and are new to Ethiopian food, this is the place for you!

Positively delightful! It was my first time trying Ethiopian cuisine and our server was friendly and patient with us. Highly recommend the meat and vegetable sampler. It could easily feed 3-4 people. We had the plantains for an appetizer, best plantains I’ve ever had! Also tried the honey wine - I would recommend trying it at least once, comes in a cool glass. We had both the gluten & gluten free injera (bread like food served with the meal) - both were delicious.
Friendly staff, clean restaurant, reasonably priced, very positive experience.

Portions that don't disappoint and staff that goes above and beyond – that's what awaits you at this restaurant. The food is exceptional, and the portion sizes are spot-on for a satisfying meal. The staff's warmth and attentiveness create a dining experience that's memorable from start to finish.

Best Ethiopian food in town. Their green beans and salad and injera are out of this world. So is everything I’ve had here. Great service, big portions, fair prices. I love this place!

This was our first time trying traditional Ethiopian food and it was amazing. The restaurant is decorated with traditional pictures and paintings giving it the motherland feel. The gentleman and lady who served us were very kind and courteous. The aroma coming from the kitchen made our mouths water. The highlight of my meal was the lamb. It was tender and extremely flavorful. The lentils and spicy chickpeas were also to die for. To go we got the fried fish and the portion is pretty good. Prices are very reasonable, for 2 people we spent $73 including tip to dine in and each take home a meal. Denver is extremely lucky to have a place like this. Whenever we visit Colorado again we'll be sure to stop by.

First time trying Ethiopian. The food was delicious and there were many vegetarian options. I had the vegetable combination with five samplers: Gomen, Yemisir Wot, Fosolia Green Beans, Kik Alicha and Atkilt Wot served on a bed of Injera. The server was very friendly and patiently explained all the dishes. The decorations, including furniture made out of straw and traditional artwork, transformed the ambience into a more authentic and wholesome Ethiopian dining experience.

One of the best Mediterranean spots in Denver. The lunch lamb shawarma plate is so generous and delicious. The mean was perfectly cooked. Everything so flavorful. The staff is nice and attentive. I asked them to swap the tzatziki sauce for toum and they happily obliged with no up charge. Great price for everything too.

We showed up pretty late and the restaurant was technically closed. Usually any restaurant would restrict their service after closing time but the owner of this place was so kind that she made fresh injera’s and served us food. Kindness and faith in humanity restored.
The food is extremely delicious and the ambiance is amazing. I’m definitely going back here again ❤️

Decent food but gluten free people beware. I ordered take out and ordered gluten free injera. But I was given a mix of gluten as well as gluten free bread (the gluten free injera is much darker than the one w wheat). When i called to ask why I received both colors, the woman confirmed that the lighter bread did contain gluten and said that the gf injera doesn't hold up as well on the bottom of the food. So they gave me wheat on the bottom, and gf on the top. This is a weird reasoning since authentic injera is gluten free, and Ethiopians don't have a problem using it normally. At any rate, in the future I'll make sure i request only gluten free bread. That said, the string beans were really good, and i enjoyed the greens too. The shiro tasted different than any other version I've had. It wasn't bad, but it didn't taste like i expected. The meat eaters liked the 3 meat combo.

First time trying Ethiopian food and it was an amazing experience! Very similar to Indian food and has lots of excellent vegetarian options. Four of us got 2 vegetarian samplers that was a combo of 7 dishes because we wanted to try all of the vegetarian options. Can easily feed a family of 5 or 6 though! Sambusa (filled with lentils instead of potatoes like a samosa) was also tasty. Awesome quality of healthy and flavorful food with very reasonable prices. Very nice family owned restaurant; the owner even came out to make sure we were enjoying everything (Hint: the best part of the meal is eating the injera at the end after it has soaked in all the flavors of the dishes)! If we lived in Colorado, we would definitely be back often. DELICIOUS! Highly recommend if you’re looking to try Ethiopian food!

VERY generous portion! They didn't give salad to start with unlike all the other ethiopian places I have been to but I would rather have more food than the salad. Would definitely visit again.

The restaurant owner called me to confirm my crazy order online. I had ordered way too much food, he was like, "Is all this food for you?" And I'm like, "I'm just hungry, hurry....send injera and tea." I'm really glad they confirm my order because I got exactly what I wanted to eat and really enjoyed my meal from Abyssinia. FYI : My order was double atkilt wot, fosolia, greens, and plantains, and Tea. It came with a salad. I have enough food for my entire three days work trip to Denver. Thank you!

Got a lot of Ethiopian beers!
Lots of tables
Lots of veggies options! Delicious. The menu has a great passage on the history of Abyssinian heritage.
You can host a wedding here because they have a stage!
