Lucy Ethiopian Cafe

Delicious Ethiopian food! Took the veggie platter for 3 and the beef. Veggie platter was veeery good, just minus one star because it was cold and not as fresh as it should be (maybe because we were here on a Monday night). Also the beef was good but not that tender, not was the sauce as it’s supposed to be (was just oil?), I know they can do better. Peanut tea is delicious and heavy and better called peanut milk. Service was friendly, just not nice that we were being "hurried" out at 8pm on a Monday. Overall good place!

Lucy’s was one of the best restaurants I’ve had in Boston so far. The staff was incredibly kind, and incredibly helpful; however, the food blew me away. We got the chicken Combo platter which was full of flavor, and had a great spice level. The sides were delicious, and complemented our chicken very nicely. Beyond all of this I had just gotten out of class, so i had my backpack with my computer, and all of my class work underneath the table. In a moment of stupidity I left it overnight, but they held onto it for me without me even asking, and I was able to pick it up the next day. If you love flavorful food, and a cozy environment Lucy’s should be top of your list for a visit.

Really enjoyed coming here. Portion sizes are average (not especially large) considering the prices. I really liked the vegetable options, and the lamb was good, better than the beef imo. Service was fine, ordering was easy through the QR codes, though you can also order up front.

Exceptional service, very clean and comfortable setting. Ordered the vegetable combo and chose red lentils, yellow peas and chick peas. All unique and delicious, the red lentils and chick peas had such wonderful spices. Thank you for an enjoyable lunch!

Pros: Food tasted good and fresh. I also liked that you order through a QR code. Cons: Portion sizes are definitely way too small for the cost. It’s actually frustrating thinking about how cheap lentils and that kind of thing are and then looking at the tiny portion. We paid $50 for a shared plate, it could’ve at least been filled full.

This place looks very unassuming from the outside, but has a cozy area in the back inside. The flavors are delicious and the teas are a must -- either the regular or the peanut one. A very solid spot for small groups going to the Symphony. Food-wise, I'd say their lamb combo for two is a good start.

Wonderful service and while the prices may look on the higher side, you get a great portion. Injera was perfect and all the dishes were spiced wonderfully. Ethiopian coffee was strong and very tasty. If you’re in the area and need a quick bite, give this place a try!
