Independent Journalism in Denver Needs You
We need to raise $25,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Q:About a year ago, Westword raved about an Ethiopian restaurant. Is it still worthy?
A:Denver has a surprising number of Ethiopian eateries, and Arada Ethiopian Restaurant (3504 East Colfax Avenue, 303-329-3344) remains one of my favorites. It’s run by a very charming, welcoming family; although the location is tough and the space is tiny, there are always fresh flowers on the tables. The family also knows how to pour on the spices to create flavorful, multi-layered cooking, and their spinach, lamb and beef dishes are particularly noteworthy.
