After seeing the rave reviews on google and yelp I was excited to give Lucy a try. Sadly, I was really disappointed in the quality of my takeaway. Although service was very nice, the mixed platter I ordered for $29 plus tax turned out to be very bland tasting. While the injera tasted nice, the tibs were just too dry, hard and chewy for me. Again, the green lentils and cabbage were bland tasting.
This was the first time I was asked how I would like the meat to be cooked so I just requested medium which is apparently most authentic. I don't know but im pretty sure overcooking meat is not medium well done so Im not sure why the beef was so dry and hard.
I am an avid lover of Ethiopian cuisine and to me this was well below the standards of African palace and the traditional fare available in Ottawa... and super expensive!
I would not go back or recommend.
