I had a fantastic lunch at this cozy spot! The vegan platter and beef with berbere were both packed with flavor, and the injera was delightfully spongy. The honey wine was a perfect complement. Service was warm and attentive - definitely coming back for more!

Lucy Ethiopian Restaurant is a hidden gem in San Diego! 🌟

We started with the potato and lentil Sambusas, which were packed with flavor and a lovely kick. For the main course, we shared the vegan platter and the meat combo, both abundant and delicious. The berbere beef stole the show - a must-try!

The injera was light and spongy, perfect for scooping everything up. The service was stellar, incredibly friendly, and the cozy atmosphere made our lunch even more enjoyable. Don't miss their traditional Tej honey wine - it’s a refreshing twist! I can't wait to come back for more... 🍽️
