This Ethiopian food is fantastic. Very flavorful. It wasn't until I ordered takeout from Lucy's when I realized how good Ethiopian food is and Lucy's is better than other restaurants that claim to be the leader here (we have tried the highest rated and Lucy's is always better, simply tastier!). My favorite is the tibs sandwich. The vegi combo is also very good. Recommended!

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at this Ethiopian restaurant! The authentic gluten free & organic injera perfectly tangy, paired beautifully with rich and flavourful stews. If your a meat lover the kitfo & the Dereq Tibs but every dish was bursting with authentic taste — you can tell everything is made with love & tradition.
The atmosphere was cozy & vibrant, a perfect setting to enjoy such comforting food. We also had coffee with jebena absolutely...
