Megenagna Ethiopian Restaurant

My cousins and I were trying to figure out what to have for dinner and came across this establishment. Upon arriving, you can notice that the market and the restaurant are connected in case customers need some ingredients, spices, etc. We were unsure what to order since it was all of our first time trying Ethiopian food. Our server gave us some suggestions and we ended up ordering the Mogne Tibs and a Veggie combo. We didn't know how to eat the veggie combo and our server gave us tip on how to take bites of different items. The Monge Tibs had a generous spice kick. Overall, delicious gamble of food for trying the first time and service was awesome.Interior of the restaurant was decored to reflect the atmosphere of the food. We even got to speak with one of the co-owners and told us her story how the menu is not westerenized, the restaurant has been passed down from a few family members, and why they chose to come to Denver.Please support this awesome establishment if you're curious about Ethiopian food.

Good but pricey, I paid 20 for the vegetarian combo. The beef stew was 19. Great flavors, restaurant is cute and clean.

Delayed post: Found on Yelp! we made a last minute decision for lunch while in the area that satisfied the tastebuds. What a treasure to have such diverse food choices in your city. Such a cool ambiance and perfectly flavored food. Easily one of the best Ethiopian restaurants I've experienced.

I can't remember, explicitly what this is, but it might be the veggie platter. I inhaled this and ordered beef tibs to go! Everything was absolutely delicious, the service was pretty good, and all of the different seating is such a vibe! This is definitely my new go to spot, because the options are endless and you can't go wrong!

Yum!! This restaurant is very cozy, homey, and feels extremely authentic. It's attached to a Ethiopian market next door and it all feels lovely. The food was absolutely delicious. Injera was perfectly fluffy, all the spices were well balanced. I am so happy I found this place. The service was amazing! Very sweet and attentive. This restaurant is lovely and I can't wait to come back and bring more friends! 3 of us came in and got 2 veggie combos to share and it was the perfect amount of food!

We had the vegetarian platter which was amazing. Seasoned perfectly and so delicious. Was vegan and we finished the platter excellent service, great ambience

The Awaze tibs, gored, gored and the Monge tibs were all excellent. The injera was fluffy, light and perfect. This place came highly recommended as one of the more authentic Ethiopian spots. The food did not disappoint. The service sadly, was poor. It really made our dining experience less than what we hoped for.

Visited last evening around 5:30 pm and it was not like my first experience. Which, I 99% of the time, do not eat Ethiopian food in Colorado, only Washington D.C. My friend wanted me to try this location last year, I was reluctant, but tried it. On this second visit, the server was a bit lack luster and did not understand a majority of our request.The picture of the veggie combo platter on the menu is inaccurate with a picture of spaghetti noodles and pasta sauce. We did ask the server about it, and she indicated, it was incorrect and the veggie combo does not come with pasta.The platter was lacking and mediocre to say it best. Yellow lentils was lukewarm, leaning toward cold; green beans were not cleaned well by removing the string and hard stem where they are attached; samosa we both ordered came cold, and we asked if this was suppose to be warm, and she didn't understand our question. I left mine to take home. The greens were the only item hot, but didn't taste like any mixed greens I had before. Extremely bitter and lacking flavor. To top off our evening, we spotted a roach crawling up the wall, then onto the flat screen television and beyond. My stars are reflective of our server experience, food, and the roach.

Great food and Staff ! Beautiful ambient with a delicious injera must try for yourself will not disappoint!!

Sitting here incredibly full and happy! I had a major craving for Ethiopian food tonight, and drove all the way out here for it. I was going to finally be brave enough to try Gored Gored, but the waitress talked me out of it. "Seriously, people order it all the time and don't realize it's raw beef and then they don't eat it." (I love carpaccio, but haven't eaten it in decades because Mad Cow.)So...awaze tibs, and potatoes and lentil sides. (I was actually hoping for a lamb stew, but this was perfectly acceptable!) Lovely injera, everything is so tasty, really hit the spot. I'll come back here!I asked if I could purchase more injera for leftover lunch tomorrow and the waitress laughed and said she wasn't going to let me pay for more injera!
