One of the best places you can go for a bite in Denver. Bring a big group, the servings are fun to share and you'll have the opportunity to try a lot. The team is caring, quick, and make it an all around amazing place to stop in!

Food was fantastic! Authentic Ethiopian and the chicken drum sticks in curry sauce was by far the best dish from the Combo platter 1. Service was nothing spectacular, inside of restaurant was nice so don't be turned off by the entrance. All in all you should come here for the food which was very tasty.

How many people get tricked by the weird door situation here? Or maybe it's just me. You walk into the main entrance of Ethiopian Restaurant and immediately wonder how much seating there is, turn the corner, and realize that's a whole other half. I'm sure they could fit long tables of groups here, as their combination platters are designed for many people.There were 5 of us, and we ordered Combination I - plenty of food for everyone! I love eating Ethiopian food, scooping mouthfuls of spiced meat and veggies with injera, which I learned is NOT gluten-free. The chicken was surprisingly one of my favorites, and I can't remember what else. Definitely bring people, and go for the combos if you come here!

It was my very first time trying Ethiopian food and wow - this place is great! Being new to the cuisine and not sure where to start, I split the vegetarian combo and the spicy meats combo with a few friends so everyone could try a bit of everything. SO good. As soon as we all started digging in, all you could hear around the table was "Oh my gosh, you gotta try this!" and "Have you tried this one yet? It's amazing!"Table favorites included the collard greens, the green lentils, the split peas, and the stewed beef. The Injera (spongy Ethiopian bread) was the perfect amount of sour - it really enhanced the flavors of the dishes. If you love spicy food, you're in luck! Their spicy chicken and spicy lentils definitely pack a punch.In addition to delicious food, they also have a friendly, efficient staff. The aesthetic of the restaurant is very no-frills-authentic; the focus is where it should be - on the food. If you're looking for a great place to enjoy stellar Ethiopian food, look no further!

Just delicious!This place is much nicer inside than it appears from the outside. White tablecloths and everything, I promise. Parking on Colfax can be challenging. Be prepared to park a block or two away.Your food will take some time to prepare. They are making it fresh. Don't come here if you are in a big hurry.The food is outstanding. Between the two of us, we ordered the Special Tibs and the Beef Stew. They came out on a massive tray of Injera with cabbage and lentils. It was too much food for 2 people, but we enjoyed making a dent in it. Everything was delicious. Despite the cash-only references on Google, Ethiopian Restaurant does indeed take credit cards.

Nom nom nom got the #2 combination bc my friend didn't eat spicy otherwise I'd get the #1. Food was amazing per usual. We both took a box to bring home. About $70 something plus tax and tip. Nice servers.

The best Ethiopian food I have had in quite some time. We had the Kay Wot (Spicy Beef Stew) and Special Tibs (Spicy Sautéed Beef). Both were flavorful and wonderful. The Yater Alicha (yellow lentils) were very good. The Tekel Gomen (cabbage and potatoes with onion) was probably my favorite version of this that I have ever had. The place was clean. The seating was comfortable. The service was very good. All in all, this was an excellent experience.

Fantastic dinner, exactly what we expected. Had to order dinner for three even though we had two but well worth it. If you enjoy Ethiopian food this is a great spot.
