Lucy Ethiopian Restaurant

after extensive research, I decided to take my family to Lucy for our first Ethiopian cuisine experience in Denver - and it did not disappoint. a solid 5 stars for flavor alone - the food is well worth the wait (20-30 min).
the meal is an experience of flavor and texture, ending in complete satiety and meant to be shared and eaten with the hands. not to mention an amazing value - you could feed a family of 3-4 for around $35.
we started with 2 veggie sambusas - a fried pocket pastry with a flaky crust and a filling of spiced peas. it was. delicious. the crust was perfectly flaky and they came out super fresh. the inside was spiced right and had a nice contrast to the crust.
the main feature was the veggie combo platter - it comes with most of their signature dishes and injera bread. the injera had a sour taste like sourdough bread. it was soft, spongy, and dreamy - they even offered us more when we finished ours. everything was DELICIOUS. I cannot say enough good.
we left incredibly satisfied. don’t come here in a rush. sit, enjoy the food, ideally with others.

We will drive across town in rush hour traffic to devour Lucy Ethiopian. It is that good. Their shiro is incredible. So many good dishes. Bring your friends and family. Introduce them to incredible food for all to enjoy.

Very lovely restaurant. A completely different cuisine experience with amazing flavors. Server was very nice and gave us direction since it was our first time eating ethiopian food. We enjoyed it a lot except our baby got very impatient, the food took a long time and by the time we got it he was having a hard time. Not sure if it takes this long, every time or because it was busy. We might try again when it's just my husband and I. We got the veggie combo and the potatoes, since it was just us two they brought it in one plate to share, it was fun getting to try all the flavors.
