I ate here 2 years ago and said I would return if I was ever in the Colorado Springs area. Well I returned to Colorado Springs and made it a priority to eat at Uchenna. I had the seafood plate with orange tea. The food and service was just as good as I remembered. I will be eating here every... More

Don't know a thing about Ethiopian food, but my sister recommended it. Absolutely awesome flavors. And service outstanding. Perfect place for my five- and seven-year old nephews, too. I don't live in Colorado anymore, but, next time I visit, you can bet I'll return to Uchenna.

Found Uchenna on the internet and I would say this is one of the best finds I have come across! The flavors that you experience here are amazing. I have had Ethiopian food in D.C., L.A., Chicago, Madison, WI, and Marbella Spain and I would this is the BEST I have had. To make things even better the owner/chef, Maya,... More

This is hands down the best place I have ever eaten at in Colorado Springs. Truly a hidden gem. Maya and her cooking are both out of this world! She cooks from the heart and it is very apparent. DELICIOUS. I would eat there every day if I could.

TripAdvisor rankings come through for us again. There is a reason this restraunt is #1. The food is wonderful an unique. Maya is such a doll. She showed us the ropes of ethiopian food, and gave us a hug before we left. We also got a suprize dessert box with our leftovers. I echo the recommendations to get the tea... More

We had never eaten Ethiopian food. The owner was very kind to help us order, and then she taught us how to eat the food. When we left she gave us a "to go" box. I thought it was our remaining food, but when we opened it at our hotel she had given us dessert!

This restaurant has a wonderful food (a good variety for everyone in the family and even some WONDERFUL gluten free options) and Maya is absolutely an amazing joy. I try to share this restaurant with all my visitors and not one has gone away without falling in love with the food and the owner.

A note to all Coloradans who appreciate REAL flavors, and those passing through the Springs in need of a satisfying dining experience...Uchenna is a must! There's nothing pretentious about it. The restaurant is simple, and Maya is a wonderful host who will make every effort to guide one towards making the right menu choices. As this was our first time... More
