What guests say
Rogers Park regulars and first-time visitors, in their own words.
"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."
"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 best Eritrean restaurant in Chicago. Den-Den's superlative food is a highlight, featuring the best Ye Beg Alicha, veggie plate, and awaze."
