They run on African time, I wouldn't show up exactly when they're supposed to open, you might be waiting around a while ha ha, but we found it worth the wait.

Everything was freshly made and incredibly delicious, most of us got fufu and a variety of soups which was very flavorful and the jollof rice as well as the plantains were absolutely perfect.

I am a huge fan of Ethiopian food and I am so delighted that Lucy Ethiopian is one of the best here…read morein Las Vegas. Located on Decatur and Flamingo in an unassuming shopping center, it's the kind of place you pretty much need to know about to find. You're really not going to spot it from the road, so plug it into your GPS and follow the guidance and the smells to this terrific gem. I've only ever been at lunch and never found it to be very busy. There are always tables full of people enjoying great food, however, and they have a lot of space to spread out so I can't say that you'd have to wait very long if there were a line. They have tables for parties of all sizes as well as traditional Ethiopian baskets you can sit around and dine from. I've not experienced that here yet. The staff is super friendly and, you can tell how passionate they are about the food. Attentive service. I never want for anything. If you've never dined at an Ethiopian restaurant before you're in for an experience. Food is served in piles on large platters and there are not forks, knives, or spoons. You tear off pieces of injera, a slightly sour fermented pancake-like flatbread with a slightly spongy texture, traditionally made of teff flour, and dig into the piles with your hands. It's a truly tactile experience and really, I think, adds to the uniqueness of the food. (Note they have handwashing stations so you and your party can ensure clean fingers when eating off of the same platter. There are both meat and non-meat options. I always gravitate to the vegetarian options when I come and am always completely satisfied. Piles of lentils, peas, cabbage, beets, greens, and salad are perfectly spiced...some quite mild and others with a slight spicy bite. Nothing too picante although the salad does have sliced jalapeño in it so be mindful of that if you're not a fan of spicy. Aromatic flavors and textures will leave you wanting more. I always love visiting here and encourage you to visit. So, so good!

Delicious food, lovely staff and convenient location…read more I haven't had Ethiopian food in a while, so instead of choosing one dish, I opted for the half meat/ half veggie platter. The portion is huge so be prepared to share and still have leftovers to take home. My favorites were the beef with onions and meat in green sauce. For veggies, I loved the greens and steamed spinach. Simple and clean to enjoy between the other flavors on the plate. I do wish the yellow and green lentils had more spices/ seasoning since they were a little bland. Overall a great platter though. The lentil samosa is also delish!

The lovely ladies at the counter were welcoming. We started off with smoothies that were made fresh. I was them juicing the fruits. They were delicious. This was part of the restaurant week menu. We then got the spam masubi which was not great. In my mind I expected a Hawaiian style one but this was just spam, white rice wrapped in seaweed. We also go thr meat pies that made up for the spam masubi. The meat pies crust smelled of butter and tasted lole a buttery pie crust. The meat inside was a bit spicy which was a good spice level for me but not for my mom. The meat inside was so flavorful. Both teriyaki bowls were just okay. The salmon was a bit overcooked and the spam could of been cooked a bit more. At the end, they gave us the puff puffs for free. They were crispy on the outside and doughy inside with carmel on top. This was so tasty and sweet. A perfect treat to end the meal. I need to go back and try their goat fried rice, goat stew and goat curry. Yes, I love goat.

Don't sleep on this restaurant because it appears unassuming. I was surprised at how good this place was. This is just as delicious as any other Ethiopian restaurant in Minnesota. Mimi took our order and she was fantastic and super helpful in telling us how much food would be enough for us. She hyped up the food and it delivered. The food came out fresh. I was in heaven eating all the injeras with the meats and veggies. We ordered the veggie platter x 2, dorotibs, and tibs. Everything had superb flavor and I could not stop eating it. Even when we ran out of injera, we were brought more so we could continue feasting. I would eat Ethiopian food every day if I could. When I go back to Vegas, I'm definitely going to eat here again.

I looked over the menu and decided I wanted to play it safe... basically I chickened out on my original choice lol. I went with the whole catfish that comes with a stew and I also got Jollof rice. The owner of the restaurant provided exceptional customer service and we had small talk with him. I always prefer supporting small businesses and this is a prime example of why. The food comes at and the catfish with the stew was out of this world so flavorful and cooked to perfection. The Jollof rice was as equally delicious. Next time I am in Vegas I am going to have to go ahead and order the Ugusi soup and Fufu. There is plenty of seating however it is a little stuffy inside, but the owner busted out an industrial size fan which cooled us down in no time.

The odor from the kitchen, coupled with what seems to have been problems with the drain system (sewage gas) was overwhelming, so me and my date left shortly after the entrees arrived at our table. The apparent owner alternated between rude and indifferent. He didn't seem to be concerned about customer service and he certainly wasn't trying to win friends and influence people. Overall a terrible experience and so I won't go back. UPDATE: As you can see below, the owner of the establishment is willing to blame others for his inability to run a successful business. And sir...if the business is closed (NOTE: It was in 2025 when I went to your business, sport) why are you online complaining about reviews? Is that level of poor judgment why your business closed in the first place?
