Konjo Ethiopian Food

This was my first time eating or even trying Ethiopian food and I have to say, it was delicious. We tried the beef, the lentils, and rice. It was so good. The rice was soft and fluffy, the lentils had a bit of spice, and the beef was spiced perfectly. The gentleman at the booth was very kind and friendly. Recommended the perfect spice level. I want more of this delicious food.

i grew up eating ethiopian food and to find a spot in Denver has been tricky. this spot knocks it out of the park! they've got a meat platter and veggie platter. for both you get a variety of dishes placed in what's called Injera, a sour dough tortilla of sorts. then you go to town! it's located in the edgewater market which is tons of fun, not a classy sit down spot though. it's an upscale food court full of whole in the wall self service restaurants, Konjo being one of the best!

This was my first time eating at this public market and I quickly knew I wanted to try out Konjo since I've never had Ethiopian food. Everything from options, nutrition, and price point made this an easy choice. You order from a digital screen so you can take your time choosing and reading about all of the options. The combos are very customizable. I ordered the vegetarian combo which came with three choices, plus Injerna or rice. I chose the Miser (red lentils), Kik (yellow split pea), and the Gomen with Dinich (season spinach with potatoes) with the injerna. The red lentils are very spicy for my taste. Looking back I would have tried something else. My absolute favorite was the Kik and it was creamy, smooth, spiced, and very delicious. Probably the most familiar to what I've tried in other curries before. The most surprising was the injerna. Do NOT skip out on it. It's a bit tangy, sour, and a great side for the meal.It's a big meal. I was stuffed by the end instead of paying the same price for a sandwich somewhere else. Highly worth it and my top reccommended place to try out.

Mimi is the sweetest lady and exceptionally customer service oriented.I'm a veggie, my service dog is not!! And I think she works 24/7 with a beautiful smile and warmth that beckonsMimi made me some OUTRAGEOUS garlic spinach over saffron rice, OHHHH YUUUMMMM, There are so many choices, I have added their menu and drinks in the photos. Oh the Market, and delicious Ethiopian food, not to be missedThe entire team are AWESOME and very helpful with huge smiles, this is part of the "Public Market in Edgewater.Konjo is easy to find and has a great Kiosk as all have great signage displaying their goodies. The menu fits all spicey, yet not too much Ethiopian foods. Great place to try out several dishes.I did top this off, the garlic and saffron with some delicious FRESH SQUEECES ORANGE JUICE from Aphrodite owner of Saints and Sinners, she is a delight and can be met on Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays. The Public Market is well thought through, as you exit, there is a "Recyle Bin" for all your waste, please recycle!There many Kiosks in the public Market, stay tuned I am writing up a few just for your mouth to water and zoom in.Cheers

First time stopping by this gem! Service was super friendly and helpful! Food was fresh! Hot! Spicy (as they said it would be)!! And super fast! This will be my spot for quick Ethiopian food! Portion sizes were excellent! The chicken was perfectly seasoned! Highly recommend!

I'm new to Ethiopian food! I really enjoyed this! The flavor profile was excellent lots of great spices and levels of spice. There was also a lot of food for a great price ! Gluten free soy free dairy free nut free ! They offer vegetarian vegan and meat options! All their spices and seasonings are imported from Ethiopia ! Excellent service and of course we always enjoy eating inside the market ! I like the long tables and It's easy and able to hop around from place to place here! Love the options!

I'm sad to say I did not enjoy my meal from Konjo.I ordered the beef tibs and the two main issues were that the meat was tough and the stew was aggressively salty. I admittedly am no expert in Ethiopian food (I've only tried bites off others' plates in the past) but I suspect that these are execution errors, not inherent traits of this dish. The injera, which had a spongy texture and a fermented taste reminiscent of a very tangy sourdough, brought a bit of balance but it wasn't quite enough to get me through and I left a lot of the tibs uneaten.The bright spot for me was the kik alicha (yellow split peas) which was simple and tasty and provided a much-needed respite for my palette. To add to the "pro" side, I can also say that the food came out very quickly and the portion size was great value for money.The next time I try this dish I'll be interested to see how it compares, but if I'm back at Edgewater Public Market, I'll be choosing a different vendor to dine with.

Konjo is a Black-owned business whose staff and food have been consistently awesome over the many visits I've made here in the past year or so. I've tried several Ethiopian places in the Denver area at this point, and Konjo is my absolute favorite. I've never been disappointed. Even though you don't even technically need to interact with anybody since you order the food via a machine at the counter (they text you once the food is ready), I've always found the service to be friendly and kind when we do interact. The Gomen (spinach w/potatoes) is the most delicious I've ever had, garlicky and perfectly cooked. I almost always get this, the red lentils, and the cabbage. It's all so flavorful and cooked just right. They have gluten free and non-gf options for injera. The stall is located at Edgewater Public Market, so depending on the time of day and week, it can get crowded even despite the ample seating areas. I recommend getting New Zealand-style ice cream at Happy Cones for dessert afterwards. It's a great way to finish off a wonderful meal from Konjo's.

Konjo never disappoints! Price, value, quality of food and quality of service all checked every time I get food here. Such was the case when I stopped by this late afternoon when I was getting hungry for the evening. I always get the same thing: The Vegan Delight! I know I should be more diverse but as good as this vegan plate gets, I can't help getting me the same thing over and over again. Will I ever get tired of this plate? I don't think I will!I love injera (and it comes with the plate.) But this time, I got me the side rice to go with the whole dish. This ended up being a great idea. The spiciness of the whole plate got somewhat mellowed down by this yellow rice; it truly enhanced the overall taste of it. I strongly recommend this accompaniment. Since this place is in a spacious food hall, it's not so much about being in an environment with an ambiance. But what I suggest is that you can go upstairs to the rooftop to have the food with a drink from the centralized bar as long as the weather permits.

The injera I got was like a stiff tortilla rather than pliable, soft, spongelike injera I'm used to getting when I'm outside of Colorado.Service was fast and this was my first time at edgewater, vibes there are dope. The misir wat i got to eat with my injera was fine, but i love my carbs and this carb wasn't it.
