Denden Restaurant

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! ...

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

Great place that I would called undiscovered! Service is very pleasant, food delicious. You have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone...food is to be eaten by hands..not as easy as you might think, but all worth it!

So amazing! We get the veg platter and the portions are generous and v reasonable pricing. Hospitable service and always offering more injera, this is a gem! Everytime I bring someone new here, they all love it.

My wife and I love this place! We stopped by on a whim and were not disappointed! They accommodated her Gluten allergy very gracefully and made us feel very comfortable, like we were family!

The food here was delicious and so filling. I came with a group of 5 and basically ordered one item from each section on the menu, trying a lamb, beef, seafood, veggie, and chicken selection. Honestly, I don’t even know if we specifically got what we ordered; it seemed like the server just gave us what she thought was good for each section, which was fine by us. Eritrean food and Ethiopian food have a fairly large overlap, sharing the injera and eating style, but differing on certain sauces and use of tomatoes (among other things). The injera here wasn’t as sour as I’ve had at other places, which I found I actually prefer, and I really loved its taste. The salad in the middle was a nice touch and the dressing was delicious. All the flavors of each item were rich and robust. My favorite was the fish— it was tender and full of flavor; I felt the beef was pretty tough/overcooked though. Overall, it was a lot of food and we all were extremely stuffed afterwards; it was well worth the 30 per person cost. A family-owned neighborhood restaurant with very homey vibes and a spacious interior, our servers were super sweet and attentive. They kept bringing out more injera, various spicy sauces, and water for us. Though the food took quite some time to come out, it was worth it when it arrived. Overall, it’s a great spot to bring a larger group, and if I lived closer I would definitely come more regularly. — Price (relative to peers): 4.2/5 Food: 4.5/5 Ambience: 4.4/5 Service: 4.8/5 Overall Value: 4.5/5

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!
