Mawaa€™s Kitchen - ASPEN

Location is a bit sways of aspen city; not far, but taxi/Ubers are hard to come.

Great restaurant in a commercial building opposite the airport. this is a chief-owned business and the mawa of the same name came by to welcome us. the food was delicious and generously cut. the description reads French about Africa. the restaurant celebrated the black history month and had a series of specials that represent the black kitchen in America. everything was well done and delicious.

Eating was quite good, but in any case it didn't seem like it was worth the price also for aspen. the cancellation conditions are crazy. I would not recommend getting a reservation unless it is peak season and will be super busy.

First let me say that I read a lot of reviews before coming here and noted the extraordinary amount of raves which led me to make a reservation. Here are the pros and cons the way I see it: PROS: lovely atmosphere/ambience but one thing although I enjoyed the music, it was much too female focused, perhaps zero seven or Sia would be a nice compromise; excellent service but it shouldn't have been anything less since we were the only ones dining at that time, aside from a family that had left 5 min. after we were seated; the food was excellent we got the curry and duck shepherd's pie, wonderful spices in both dishes and the flourless chocolate cake with chocolate ice cream has to be, hands down, one of the most decadent desserts we've ever had. Now for the CONS: I was quite cold throughout, enough so that I had to put my down coat back on. It was very drafty turned out most of the heat was in the ladies room; although we really did like our cherry Negronis made with Luxardo liquor, for the price where was the luxardo cherry?? and what the most disappointing factor was that the food was extremely overpriced this I had read about but ignored. I had read that this was a locals eatery I sure don't know how the locals can afford to come here........

We loved this restaurant, great flavors, everything was delicious !!! The best in Aspen, so unusual and refreshing ! I recommend 100
