Good service, really good food. The flavors can be really intense, even if it might look bland. The injera is made with fermented pancake batter so it's a little sour. If you order injera with your food, everything will have a slightly sour taste to it. The regular bread is just a couple of small loaves that are freshly baked so they are super soft on the inside, but they are really hot when served. The Denden wine is pretty sweet as it's a honey wine. There is no AC so it was a little warm when we went in July.

My wife and I are new to East African cuisine, though we're quickly warming up to it! We both got spicy beef dishes and love the spongey teff bread it's served with. The gravies were a bit salty but quite delicious!

I also ordered what I believe was homemade honey wine - low alcohol and quite refreshing, would recommend.

Two entrees came family style with lentils and cabbages, with plenty of injera. The food was delicious, and I would definitely come back here.

Our family really enjoyed our meal here! The service was very friendly and attentive. The food came out pretty quickly, and it was delicious! We especially liked the beef, and the vegetable combo let us try many different tasty options. Highly recommend!

Two friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to Denden, specializing in Eritrean cuisine. The food was delicious, hot, freshly-made and reasonably priced. We had almost exclusively vegetarian dishes, partly because one friend was vegan (don't be fooled by the "Lenten specialties" label--all 6 of these dishes are available year round). Favorites were the red lentils, yellow lentils and potatoes/carrots, all served together on a large platter. Our request for not too spicy was accommodated, yet it was spicy enough for my more spicy-tolerant palate. The seating area and restrooms were immaculate. Service was very hospitable and authentic. We definitely will be returning, hopefully soon!
