Denden Restaurant

Absolutely delicious food and the literal best coffee you’ll ever have in your life. Make sure to order the coffee early as they roast the beans in a pot and it comes out later in beautiful presentation. Low key and quiet atmosphere, prices are very fair. Been going to this place for years, such a gem!

I cannot for the life of me understand why this place is empty when I walk past it. The food was exceptionally good, the service was quick and attentive, and the inside is pretty with nice music. The prices being completely reasonable for the amount is the cherry on top as well. I highly recommend this place, both for people who are familiar with eastern African food as well as those looking to try something new.

The best Eritrean restaurant in Chicago! I prefer Den-Den over the pantheon of Ethiopian restaurants in Chicago. Den-Den's superlative food is a highlighted, featuring the best Ye Beg Alicha, veggie plate, and awaze. They also serve the best Tej in the city, and their injera is uniquely made without the over abundance of wheat. The Tej is salient. The coffee ceremony is also a highlight. My family lingers and enjoy the atmosphere staying for two or more hours during our visit.
