My boyfriend decided he wanted to try Ethiopian food, and his birthday was coming up so we decided to go to Lucy's. Best decision ever! The food was absolutely amazing. We started with the Eggplant Dip and Sambusa. So good! The Sambusa came out piping hot and crispy, and the sauce that came with it was delicious! The eggplant dip was smooth and lemony, and came with plenty of pita bread slices. For our entrée, we went with the Meat and veggie Combo. It was plenty of food for just us two, and everything was flavorful and delicious! I was concerned about the spiciness of the dish when I ordered, but our server (who was very friendly and helpful) assured me that it wasn't too spicy and that I would enjoy it. She was right! One of the people in our party ordered the Beef Girgiro Tibs. I tried it and now I know what I'm getting next time! We didn't mention to the server that it was my boyfriend's birthday, but she saw one of his presents and guessed for herself. Towards the end of our time there, all of a sudden we heard loud music start playing from the bar area and the server and Lucy herself came out with a piece of Baklava with a birthday candle and we realized the music was a birthday song! They brought him the Baklava and also put a cape and a little birthday hat/crown thing on him. He felt really special and it was a perfect end to the evening. We will definitely be returning and I would absolutely recommend Lucy's as a great place to dine.

So good. I will be back definitely. Service was wonderful. Ambiance was nice. Not super busy yet for a Saturday. I also had mango juice (real, not super sweet/full of sugar) and baklava (not pictured).

I've always wanted to try out Ethiopian cuisine and Lucy's was my first. It was a good experience but didn't quite hit the spot. The interior ambience and the hospitality was spot on though. As an Indian, I could draw some similarities with Indian cuisine. The Good: 1. Friendly waitress who took the time to explain the menu to us newbies. 2. The ambience and decor is a fusion of Ethiopian culture and modern look. 3. The food was good. Tasted like it was made fresh and the quantity was sufficient. But... Could Be Better: 1. ... the food was not as flavorful as I would have imagined it. Perhaps my Indian taste buds have ruined it for me. 2. Some of the meat dishes we ordered could have more "meat" in it.

Still very good! Very very good! Came with a friend for dinner. I had the raw Kitfo. She had the veggie trio. Fantastic! Super relaxed atmosphere. Reasonably priced. Staff were all friendly and service was quick enough for my liking. Definitely a reason this place is sort of a staple in Houston fr Ethiopian! Would highly recommend!

Food was so delicious!!! I’ll be back twice a month at least.. very friendly waitress too.

Went with the wife to Lucy the second time. Food was as good as we remembered. Couldn't get enough of the red lentils. Lucy's food is consistently good will be our to go for Ethiopian cuisine.

My twin and I celebrated our 45th birthday here with our family. The staff are friendly and the food is delicious and healthy. They can accommodate large groups and made us feel like royalty!!!

We went to lunch on2/23/22, I did not ask our waitress her name but she was so lovely! The Shiro is some of the best we’ve had!!! We got the veggie platter and loved every part! Will be back for sure.

I took my son and my niece to lunch at Lucy's restaurant today. It was great. We enjoyed the everything. We will be back.

Amazing experience at Lucy Ethiopian Restaurant. The waitress was amazing and the ambiance was outtasight. The highlight of this evening is of course the food and we were not disappointed. Everything we tried was a first time experience and it was to die for. The food was full of flavor and culture and it was amazing and an experience I won't soon forget. Thank you Lucy's for giving us a true Ethiopian culinary experience!!

Delicious food!! Tried honey wine from Ethiopia that was great! And the ambiance is based on Ethiopian culture which seems unique and different!! 😊

True Ethiopian food, I felt like I was eating at their family dining table. If your a foodie please come here for a real local experience. Side note … the portions are out of this world!

First time here ! The food is great! Would definitely come back again.

Lucy is by far the BEST Ethiopian food we have ever eaten. My husband and I have been frequent diners for over 10 years, and for good reason, not only is the food delicious & authentic, the owner, (whom is absolutely beautiful inside and out) & service are incredible. We feel the love and also taste it in every morsel. The atmosphere feels like we are at home enjoying a great meal, prepared by my grandmother, who has been cooking since childhood. We truly love everything about Lucy. Our server, Selam, is so sweet and attentive. As soon as we walk in, she already knows exactly what we want. She has the most radiant smile and kind demeanor. If you want the best of Everything, from food to service, Lucy is IT!

Everything was very delicious! The host was great and attentive, seems like a family run restaurant. Really good quality of food, with fresh juices and strong coffee.

What an amazing treat! We came here for our Christmas “experience” gift, for which we always eat a meal from a new culture. This one was amazing! The service was top notch, the wait staff was so sweet and helpful. The food was literally some of the best I’ve ever had. We had a bunch of different dishes. Each one we thought was our “favorite” but no true favorite was found because all of them were so tasty. After our meal, we shared a pot of tea. Even that was just so good. And what a different way of ending a meal! If you are considering trying Ethiopian or Lucy’s, don’t wait! Go and enjoy!!

First time to try Ethiopian cuisine. The server recommended the vegetarian platter and Girgiro tibs, which are really delicious. We really like our dishes. The owner and server are pretty welcoming. Great experience!

Being a fan of different experiences, and cuisine, Lucy’s Houston hit my radar. It’s not in the part of town with the fanciest restaurants, but I was excited to enjoy Ethiopian cuisine again! Entering, I was a little thrown off, because the place looked like it had just suffered a huge wind gust, but we decided to dine at the bar, where we learned a huge party had just wrapped up. There aren’t enough kind words to express the hospitality of Mary, and Nia, the beautiful ladies who attended us. The guidance through the menu, and sharing a little about themselves was the professional, yet personable way to enjoy a new venue. I decided to order the Meat & Veggie combo to try a bit of everything, excellent decision, because each bite was delicious! The gift of T’ej, homemade Ethiopian honey wine, at the end of the night, and throne photos in the lounge were incredible! Lucy’s is a must visit for me while in Houston.

Great venue for events the food is amazing. The sports bar is great as well. Highly recommend the Tibs and Kitfo.

Lovely little place that makes you feel right at home. We stopped in for lunch and ordered the sambusa, a platter for 2, and some spaghetti (kids....). We also had the tea. We were very pleased with our meal. It was on the edge of our tolerance for spiciness, which means that almost anyone can eat there without worries. The food was filling and delicious. The staff were attentive, polite, and kind. There's not a negative thing I would say. I will be recommending it for future work occasions and I'm sure we'll go back.

Enjoyed our meal here. This is the first Ethiopian restaurant that I’ve been served rice with the meal. Staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. We ordered 2 vegetarian (Mesir wot and kik Alicha) and one meat entree (doro wot). The sambusa was very good—highly recommend. Vegetarian friendly. Vegan friendly.

Had the pleasure of checking out Lucy's with my friend and had a great experience for our first time. The staff was very friendly and welcoming and the food was amazing. We had their sambusa, meat and vegetable combo and it did not disappoint. A must if you are wanting great tasting Ethiopian food with amazing service.
