I think Denver does Ethiopian food pretty well, and it’s always fun trying new restaurants. Mama Africa Cafe was no different. This is a true gem in Denver and I’m so grateful they opened up because I’ve been hoping for a new Ethiopian restaurant that I haven’t tried. We had the veggie combo with lamb tibs and it was unbelievably delicious. The honey wine was not too sweet so it’s worth a try, and their Ethiopian lager was delicious too. We cannot wait to go back and eat here again!

Phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal. The only complaint about the food I can come up with is that soon, I’ll be finished eating it and there won’t be any more! Absolutely worth the trip and price.

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!
5 stars all around! Incredibly delicious food and the owner and chef were so delightful to talk to. I would highly recommend!

We just stopped by today and this place is the best Ethiopian we’ve had in Denver. The staff was super friendly and attentive, and the food was incredibly flavorful. I recommend the veggie sambusas, the spicy fish tibs and spicy lamb tibs. Will definitely be stopping by again!

We stopped for lunch while traveling through Denver. The people were so friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome. The food was served quickly and was delicious. We ordered the vegetarian sampler with beef ribs added. We also had the lentil samosas. We will definitely visit again when we travel through Denver.
