Very delicious restaurants that have vegan options. We ordered vegan platter plus a beef stew. They are so yummy! I enjoyed the all the flavors. The injera bread is amazing as well. The space is open and clean. The service is fast and friendly. I would recommend this place for sure.

Got the Awaze Tibs as takeout, it was as hard and chewy as leather. I think this is the second time I've gone to Lucy and gotten cheap, tough meat, when it's supposed to be tender from being stewed! And the lentils in the vegan platter were undercooked as well. It's unconscionable how much this costs compared to the quality

Really enjoyed the vegan platter and especially loved the shiro! Their honey wine was also nice to try.

What a beautiful experience and the most traditional and delicious food. Chef was an actual angel. Couldn’t be more happy with coming here for dinner. Will be coming back very soon.

We LOVE Ethiopian food. Healthy, delicious and fun. We’ve eaten at many Ethiopian restaurants in different cities. Although it’s a shame that SD doesn’t have more Ethiopian food, Lucy is worth the drive from Carlsbad. Injera is great and food is aromatic and well cooked. Highly recommend.

We got the Doro Tibs and the Awaze Tibs and both came out dry. It was kind of disappointing.
Great food. Been here twice. The food comes out fresh, hot, well spiced, and consciously prepared.Casual atmosphere. Nice service. Fair price. I'll return.
