It also makes an excellent Sunday hangover food. I love taking friends and family to this place when they visit me in Aurora. This place is very relaxed and slow because they make everything fresh when you order, so make sure to set aside enough time to visit.

The vegetarian combo is an incredible dish that will satisfy any appetite. And the Quanta Fir Fir is one of the best things you will ever find in a breakfast menu. I also love being greeted by the smell of traditional Ethiopian coffee as soon as you open the door.

Thanks to one of my side hustle shifts I worked yesterday. Had I not gotten the shift assignment,…read morethis restaurant would have forever been unknown to me even though the long stretch of Havana Street has so many unique restaurants on both side and yet, past the 6th Ave where the restaurant is located had still been an unknown territory for me. I was definitely overdue for a good Ethiopian food so when I found it, I got excited. I intentionally left the house early enough so I could stop here and get me some food before my shift. And it all worked out well. Yesterday's takeout experience was met with so much goodness. I... -Was warmly greeted upon entering the restaurant by two women. -Was the only customer during the non-rush hour time between lunch and dinner. -Was able to place my order immediately as I had the full attention from one of the ladies upfront. -Waited good 15+ minutes and yet, this meant that the kitchen carefully prepared my food. -Received thorough explanation from the same lady (who took my order) as she opened each container to explain what I got. Service was top-notch here. Once I got to my car, I opened the two containers to take a close took at them. I also wanted to take some photos of my beautiful food. What I got were.... -Vegetarian Combo ($19.99) that comes with red lentil stew, split pea mild stew, powdered chickpea stew, carrots and cabbage with potato, collard greens, beetroot and salad. This whole dish was covered with extra layers of injera fermented bread that are/were gluten free. The whole container was so heavy. This was easily way more than what I paid for. And it was probably the best Ethiopian vegetarian plate with all sorts of delightfulness in this massive dish. -Two pieces of Veggie Sambusas (lentil based); this came with a mini salad. Deep-fried sambusas were nice and beautifully brown. And they were so crispy. The heat from the cooking was still felt when I ate them about 10 minutes later. Let's not forget to mention. The restaurant looks very unassuming on the outside. Although the front of it had a colorful green and red signage with restaurant name on it, once inside, it looks small and yet you will be surprised how spacious inside is. Although it's not fancy or modern in any way, it's clean with simpleness. And here and there, there are Ethiopian art decors on the walls which will (I'm pretty sure) capture your attention. You should take the time to look at them as they are quite beautiful. Not to mention, ample seatings are seen in the dining area; the bar is quite large as well. And they do serve alcohol. This is definitely and by far the best Ethiopian restaurant in the Denver metro area (in my opinion). The welcoming host (is this a woman owned business??) that will truly appreciate your business but most of all, the quality and hearty food that will entertain your palates..all sorts of goodness will mesmerize you for sure. This place will justify the miles you will drive to get to it even if you live a bit far from it. Give it a try!

Came here to try authentic middle eastern food with our group that includes my Lebanese friend and…read morehis wife. While the food is mainly from Sudan, there are several similar items to what he is used to and what we know from other middle eastern restaurants. I will gladly explore something new, and decided on not only the known 4-part appetizer platter but also a spicy chicken plate that was supposed to have seasonings resembling peanut butter. The flavor of the seasoning was really tasty but I didn't get the peanut butter as much as our waitress mentioned. If the chicken itself wasn't so dry and the pita a little softer (they likely use a microwave instead of an oven to heat their pita), this would've been a 5-star dish. The overall rating loses another star for the atmosphere. No music. Only one person managing the front of house and at one point, she took her purse, walked out and went on an errand for 15 minutes. Our food became ready while she was out, so shortly before she came back, the chef had to come out and bring us the food. She was very nice, and likely stressed from being along in the front, so they would provide a much better experience if they had a second person up front.

Adorable little hidden gem tucked right next to the POM supermarket (Aurora location)…read more I've been here a couple of times and their dessert crepes are delicious! My favorite is crepe with lechera (condensed milk) and caramel, topped with fresh fruit like strawberries or bananas. Don't let the picture fool you these crepes were huge, definitely perfect to share with someone else! I haven't tried very many of their ice creams or snacks but their menu is super diverse so perfect for your munchie cravings whether you are wanting something more savory or sweet. I believe with the horchata and the loaded dessert crepe, our total came out to about $13-15. Definitely stop by if you're grocery shopping next door or in the area, their crepes are delicious!

Even writing this Yelp review! Apparently this used to be called "Gelato & Co" I think. Page needs to be updated but overall grateful for a dessert option at Junction Food & Drink.
