Lucy Ethiopian Restaurant — Restaurant in Toronto

I came here one evening with a couple of friends. The waitress (I believe it was Lucy) was very friendly.

Both of my friends were vegetarians, and there was only veggie option on the menu. We thought there would be more.

I had the lamb, which was really tasty (loved the sauce), but there were bones. There was a pancake that came with everything. I wasn't really a big fan of it myself. I didn't care for the texture and didn't seem to have much flavour.

The kitchen was open late (until 12). It seems like Lucy is the one that does both the cooking and serving. It took a long time to get our bill afterwards (we had to go up to the bar and ask for it).

The music was pretty loud for a restaurant, though it seemed like more of a local hangout as there were people sitting at the small bar watching sports on the huge TV.

It seemed very authentic, just not my...

WONDERFUL, charming, casual, intimate, family owned restaurant with exemplary service, large portions and reasonable prices. We were unfamiliar with this restaurant but because of of the fantastic reviews online (5 stars out of 5 from everyone!), we thought we would give it a try. The other reviewers were right, both the vegetarian and meat dishes were superb and the chef/owner was willing to adjust the spices for our young kids. It's child friendly and my kids huffed down their favourite, zilzil tibs (beef with bell peppers plus salad with lemon/olive oil and slightly spicy creamy lentil puree) all scooped up with injera (spongy Ethiopian flat bread). Will definitely return and will bring some friends along. It deserves to keep its all 5 stars...

First time in Toronto, Canada! I had to get my cultural food so I searched and I felt drawn to this place. I drove 30mins and I must say my family and I aren’t disappointed. The restaurant is small and felt like home. Hadas, very welcoming and motherly made us feel like we’re were at home. The server, Haftom was very nice and professional, welcomed us with a big smile. Food was amazing! We had the platter and also tibs, very delicious!!! She made coffee and popcorn. My mother had a cup tea, my dad had coffee. They said it was very good. Overall, we give Hadas and her team 5 ⭐️ 💯 Thanks for the best service. We will definitely come back...
