Uchenna's (in Old Colorado City)

Last Saturday, we ate at Uchenna's, which bills itself as Ethiopian and Mediterranean cuisine. We had the lamb stew - which was more like simple ground lamb in a spiced sauce.  This was okay - but nothing I'd go back for.  It was served with no utensils – you were to eat it with Ethiopian bread – which is a flat, non-leavened bread, grey and spongy.  Not very tasty at all – in fact, kind of yech.  You basically use the bread to pinch up a bit of the stew.  Another person in our party had another traditional Ethiopian dish that was more like a gyro or pita sandwich.  They said it was okay – but again, nothing special enough to draw us back for a return visit.  Service was very slow – even just to get water or tea – but very friendly.  All in all – I would not recommend Uchenna’s – unless you just want to experience Ethiopian cuisine!
