Excellent! We highly recommend the special kitfo and all of the tibs dishes. Generous portions and the some of the best Ethiopian food in the US.

The worst dining experience I’ve ever had.
We stopped at this restaurant for lunch, hoping for a nice break but instead we were met with rudeness from the staff. As bad as the server was, the owner’s behavior was even worse and completely unprofessional.

The owner came out and confronted someone from our group over a personal matter, right there in the middle of the restaurant. Instead of handling things privately or focusing on running the business, they chose to make a scene in front of all the customers something that was both inappropriate and embarrassing.

It was clear the owner had no idea how to separate personal feelings from professional responsibilities. This kind of behavior is unacceptable in any business, let alone a place meant to serve the public. I would never return, and I absolutely do not recommend this place to anyone.

Terrible Experience Would Never Recommend This was honestly one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment we walked in, the hostess/waitress was extremely rude and unwelcoming. We specifically asked not to be served lamb, yet she brought us lamb anyway. When we politely pointed it out, she responded with a bad attitude instead of apologizing or fixing the mistake.
What made it even worse was that the owner was present the entire time and never once came over to check on us or ask how our food or service was. But as we were leaving, she had the nerve to confront one of our guests instead of addressing the real issue her staff’s behavior and the overall poor service.
This place should not even be open. It was a huge disappointment from start to finish. I would never go back or recommend it to anyone.

The best Ethiopian food in Denver hands down. Whenever I crave my mom’s cooking, a taste of back home and a good quality meal I come here.

The beef tibbs said $13 on the menu but is $21 please update your menu. The food was good but I didn’t expect the price.

The FOOD was amazing! The staff was friendly and happy to explain the dishes. I personally loved the way she poured the food onto the platter. Made it extra special. I loved the Beef tips so much flavor and so juicy! I can’t wait to come back! Keep up the good work Lucy Ethiopian Restaurant!!!

Abysmal customer service. The waitress took away the spice rack off my table because another table wanted one and they didn’t have enough extras, and even though I told her several times I was still using it, she insisted on taking it. It’s not my problem if you don’t have enough racks. I felt like a second-class citizen because I was by myself, as opposed to the couples and groups in the restaurant. Also when I first sat down, it took 10 mins just to get a menu and water, even though one waitress was just standing around.

The food is good, but it’s not extraordinarily better than any other Ethiopian restaurant on Colfax. I will be going elsewhere in the future.
