The Ethiopian Restaurant — Restaurant in Denver

Ordered take out YEBEG WOT (deliciously and uniquely seasoned lamb). We paid $18 for the dish, but the portion was enough for doing dutch and/or tomorrow's lonely leftovers. All entrees include a side of YATES ALICHA (yellow split peas), a side of TIMOR GOMEN, (collard green-like cabbage and potatoes), and a large dollop of BERBERE, a surprisingly succulent sauce that compliments the rest of the fare beautifully in tangent with the customary ENJERA, a spongy flatbread that resembles naan. The shop seating is pizza parlor size, 10-20. No delivery. Saved a little of each food for the next day and everything was still tasty with the exception of the ENJERA, which didn't maintain its initial luster. Food appearance fresh isn't the best, and leftover is worse, but I'll reiterate the splendid savoriness. The only drawback I could discern was that the place is cash only, but I'm sure that will change sometime....

Don't go in here- horrible old man who owns the place is just not meant for the hospitality industry.I went in there jonesing for some injera- the prices were really high, the portions very scant and there was a complete lack of seasoning. The injera was made from a mixture of Teff and wheat flour- not entirely authentic. The food arrived in 40 minutes- the lentils were just boiled-with some salt- no seasoning, the so called vegetables were boiled within and inch of their lives- ever eaten mushy cabbage? To add insult to injury, the old man told me that he would charge me for a glass of tap water! I don't know how this horrible place stays in business- go to any other Ethiopian restaurant and they are good, unfailingly nice and hospitable. This one tho', is a blight. Don't waste your...

I've been here at least 7 or 8 times and used to love it. I wiiiiish my recent experience reflected that of some of the great reviews I've been reading... We came in as the first customers of the evening. They barely looked up from their phones to say hello. We all smiled and gave a friendly hello anyway. We ordered the vegetarian platter and some sides. The Ingera was stale and cold. The server slopped each portion of the vegetables onto our platter as if we were being served dog food or something. And we were missing a side but I didn't dare say anything because our server seemed like he hated us. Listen, I'm willing to try this again but for now I stand by my review. I left feeling really gross and sad. I'm all about redemption though. Just be kind/ welcoming to customers......
