We had dinner at Mama Africa last night and thoroughly enjoyed the food, service and cozy ambiance. We've eaten Ethiopian foods at several other restaurants over the years and Mama Africa Cafe is one of the best we've enjoyed! We loved the Vegetable Combo for two and appreciated that it was vegan and gluten free. Every item was absolutely delicious! For our combo, we had 7 different foods and plenty of injera.The staff were very friendly, attentive, and appreciative. We will definitely return.

The kindest people run this restaurant, the man who runs this restaurant with his family is always so warm and welcoming. We always get the veggie combo and it is so filling and packed with a medley of harmonious flavors! I recommend dining in because there is always the chance that you will get to try the most delicious, sizzling chickpea stew(sauce?) with your veggie combo. They also are always consistent with their take out portions. We recommend this spot to all of our friends and family and love seeing this business thrive!

Tried this place with a friend on a Friday evening, and we were the only ones in the establishment. It was a rather unassuming ambiance with basic furniture and a spattering of ethnic trinkets. Service was handled by one very pleasant woman.We started with the beef tibs, tender chunks of marinated beef sautéed with onions, peppers, and aromatic spices, were a delightful blend of robust flavors that left a lingering warmth on the palate. Accompanied by the vegetable platter combo served on a traditional injera, the vibrant assortment of lentils, collard greens, and split peas provided a satisfying balance of textures and tastes. The star of the show, the doro wat, a sumptuous chicken stew simmered with berbere, an Ethiopian spice blend, captivated the senses with its complex layers of heat and sweetness, showcasing the essence of Ethiopian culinary artistry. I wish it would have been a bit mnore stringer and spicier flavors but solid.Two interesting facts about Ethiopian food and culture: Ethiopian cuisine is characterized by its communal dining tradition where groups of people share from a common plate without the use of cutlery. This practice, known as gursha, emphasizes the importance of community and togetherness during meal times. Additionally, injera, a spongy flatbread made from teff flour, holds significant cultural value and is a staple in Ethiopian cuisine. Beyond its role as a culinary component, injera serves as a utensil, used to scoop up various stews and dishes, highlighting the resourcefulness and practicality deeply ingrained in Ethiopian culinary customs.Lots of similar flavors and traditions as indian culture and food. If you've never tried ethiopian food, stop by.

Everything was delicious and fresh tasting. And the injera is made with all teff, so it's gluten free. Went for lunch and have been thinking about how good the meal was all day long.

So glad we found this place. I have had top notch Ethiopian food in Little Ethiopia in Los Angeles and this rivals the best of those places. Friendly service too. A must try!

This place is a gem!! Went on a Thursday night for dinner with friends. (Highly recommend going with multiple people so you can maximize how many dishes you try!) We asked our server (Sulaiman, I think?) for his recommendations, and the tibs beef , doro wat, and veggie combo that he chose for us were all superb. Great service too; it was our first time having Ethiopian cuisine and he kindly explained all of the various foods we'd ordered. Another plus is that the entire menu is gluten free (aside from the sambusas). The atmosphere is cozy and charming, with cultural decor and dividers between tables. Loved the experience -- we'll absolutely be back!

A new neighborhood favorite. Two of us dined there on Friday night, we enjoyed chatting with the owner who was incredibly welcoming. We shared a veggie/meat combo and found the food to be super fresh and tasty (less oily than some ethiopian meals we've had). Highlights - misir wat, gomen wat, and a marinated beet preparation that I've never had before. Lovely meal!

Excellent food! My 6 year old loved the sambusas and their veggie plate, tibbs, and kitfo was beyond exceptional. Highly recommend!

I did a takeout order of the Veggie Combo, and it was delicious! Lentils, Cabbage, Green Beans, salad, all very flavorful and fresh. Glad to find a local Ethiopian place near Park Hill!
