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.

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.
