Don’t eat anywhere else for habesha food, this is the spot in Colorado. I never had it before and after visiting a few places, I won’t eat Eritrean/Ethiopian food any where else. Can’t beat the price either. $25 can feed two people here easy.

This is an adorable little corner restaurant. The owners are on site and really take pride in their work. It seems to be extremely authentic food, and many of the patrons were speaking in their native language with the staff. I really loved the decor. The food was delicious! We got like a sampler platter and some lamb. Each dish was perfectly prepared and seasoned. It seemed like a lot of Care and attention went into each dish and it would've taken me hours and days to make...

It’s very fun to have Ethiopian food. The service was very kind and thoughtful. The portion sizes were pretty big. There’s a decent amount of variety on the menu to choose from and they have a full bar.
