There are some places you go and you instantly feel at home. While in San Diego, I intentionally supported Black businesses and got some good Vegan food. When I went to this restaurant, I got more than I expected. The owner was very welcoming and personable. I enjoyed the food, which was a large portion seasoned just right! Ethiopian vegan food?!! Yes, please! I loved the significance of the restaurant name, which the owner explained to me in detail (you should research it too). All of the decor from the motherland were breathtaking as well. Solomon, thanks again for this experience. The experience I had at your restaurant made my trip even more meaningful. Hope to see you soon. Forward brother!

The taste was good. We had vegetarian plus lamb dishes, but we found hair before finishing our meal…

This is by far the best Ethiopian restaurant in the DMV area hands down. The food is so authentic and cooked with love.

Only a three star cause one of the servers was bluntly rude, inconsiderate and disrespectful.

I’m an RPCV (Returned Peace Corps Volunteer) who served in Ethiopia. Our waitress was charming, accommodating, and very patient with us. It’s always fun to eat at an Ethiopian restaurant. Our vegetarian platter was delicious and, of course, exotic. I would have liked to hear some Ethiopian music. I could see that sometimes they have live music, but not when we were there for lunch.

We visited on a Thursday night around 9:00 pm. There are lots of decent to good Ethiopian places in downtown Silver Spring but most were closed. Was told they would be open until 2:00 am and that their kitchen would close at midnight, so this was a huge plus for us Both the food and the service was pretty good, not amazing. Looks like they have live music on Fridays and maybe the weekend, too. All in all, it’s definitely a solid place in a very convenient location.

The food is consistently good. The service is always slow. The bathroom is a bit grim, but the atmosphere is otherwise nice.

So disappointed! The staff was fine, the space although a dump was fine. The quality of the food was my issue. Horrible tibs, quality of the beef was atrocious…bits of tough dry meat and gristle. The sauce was bland and flavorless. Overall this is a waste of money. I took a couple of bites and put it in the garbage. Do not waste your money.

I’ve tried several restaurants in the DMV. Lucy offers authentic Ethiopian cuisine. Doro wot or the three combos are worth a shot (also my favorites). You will not be disappointed. The staff is extremely nice and attentive, making you feel like at home.
