Tilapia did take quite a long time to make; it wasn't the best but I wasn't disappointed by it after waiting for a long time for our food. Jollof rice was pretty good and a huge portion; ended up taking it to go!

Everything was good. There were some veggies that we didn't really love but still good. The food took a while to come out. We waited about 40 mins but understood that they seems to be family owned business so they don't have too many people working. There are plenty of parking. Overall it was not bad and good flavor!

Food was appetizing, especially the Kelewele -- my favorite dish. Everyone seemed to enjoy their dishes -- jerk chicken, jerk goat but this version of jerk is hotter than Carribean jerk so watch out! Lamb kebabs in tomato sauce had tender lamb but the sauce was very mild. Mix the jerk sauce and the tomato sauce and you'll have the perfect balance! Everyone had the flavorful jollof rice - a must try. All in all a very good choice, especially if you want to diversify your palate while guaranteeing good food.

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.

The very gregarious and enterprising owner of Dollar…read moreGroceries in Aurora has now opened a pantheon of West African culinary creations right next door, with a name as memorable as it is delicious - Home Style Foods. As you may know, the proprietor himself is from Liberia, which has strong historical and cultural ties to the United States, especially from a culinary standpoint. For example, in states like North and South Carolina, sesame or "benne" seeds are used particularly by Gullah and Geechee communities (in dishes both sweet and savory) - and these same seeds are used as a paste to accompany some of the satisfying stews on offer at the restaurant. Okra pods are another ingredient from Africa which are now thought of as quintessentially American - and Home Style Foods's earthy okra soup will give you a little more insight into that particular cross-cultural connection. And, on a sweeter note, the rice-flour donuts known as Calas started out in Liberia and Sierra Leone before becoming the pride of New Orleans by the mid-1800s. And you can sample these ample (and believe me, they're big) delights at HSF also. But these are just a few temptations hiding behind that door at the intersection of Mississippi and Peoria. This brings me to one of Liberia's more (in)famous regional dishes - namely, Torgborgee from Lofa County in the far north of the country. Yes, it is definitely full of strong flavors - aged palm oil, country soda (or as we know it better over here, potash) and two different kinds of eggplant (the white ones called "garden eggs" and the small green ones referred to as Kittily) all take center stage in this sumptuous stew. But just try it! You'll see that everything melds together splendidly. (I should mention that the restaurant's preparations tend to be made with mixed meats - in fact, beef, chicken and fish might all appear in a single recipe). Depending on the day you visit, you might even get to enjoy "check rice" (rice cooked together with jute leaves - yep, *that's* where the green color comes from) as an accompaniment to your meal. But I've only hinted at a few potential choices, so see what else you can partake of - and don't forget to do a little shopping next door at the grocery before or after you eat.
