I first found Lucy's while looking for a place to eat after midnight with a friend (open until 2am). We stopped by around 1am and were so glad that we did. I've had plenty of Ethiopian food around the city but I have to say that Lucy's is now my hands down favorite. The prices are much better than what you get downtown, portions are better and I think that everything tastes much better as well. We got the combo platter and she even brought out an extra side pot of delicious lentals (I wish I could remember what they are called!) for us. Also, having someone serve you with a smile at 1am goes a long way in my book.
After having such a great experience with them the first time, I decided to take a group of friends there for NYE dinner. Again, we got combo platters and the food and service was great. None of my friends had tried Ethiopian before but they all loved it. Two combo platters, trays of injera and a side pot of extra lentals that more than fed 5 people cost $60. One combo platter easily feeds 2-3 people. The same amount of food costs much more downtown, isn't as delicious, and the service at Lucy's is much better.
The place is small, maybe around 6-7 tables
Full bar
No credit or debit - cash only
Open late - until 2am both nights I've gone
Street parking
Ethiopian breakfast menu also available.
I will absolutely be going to Lucy's when I want Ethiopian food.
