We entered hungry and left so full, so happy and well cared for! The meat and veggie platter is excellent, best prices food you can get in Toronto at this point. The special tea is very nice as well, hope we come back here soon!

I've been to many ethopian restaurants in Toronto and this one beats all by far. The taste, portion size (eat in), and flavors was not lacking at all. My go-to place for authentic ethopian food.

My first time trying Ethiopian food and I was very impressed. The food was delicious, so flavorful and a great variety. The service was excellent with a beautiful atmosphere in the back garden patio. I am definitely coming back!

Follow @bredgyeats for more food pictures! Meat Platter Combo of cooked kitfo, tibs, chacha tibs, split peas, lentil, collard greens, and three portions of injera. Kitfo was well seasoned and spiced, while the tibs had a much more buttery, aromatic flavour. Chacha had a caramelized onion and black pepper sauce which had lots of umami with a rich sweetness, and a slight lamb gameyness. All meats were well done so it was a little tough and dry. Injera wasn't overly sour either and was quite nice to eat.

If you're looking for authentic food - look no more. This place not only has awesomely tasting food, but their coffee is outstanding! On the hot summer days you definitely want to sit at their patio covered by trees to provide some relief. I was there for a dinner when it was like +32 outside. I was able to enjoy my vegetarian plate in a comfortable atmosphere.

This is the first time we were very disappointed with Ethiopian food. The young lady got our order wrong. The Tibs and the meat/vegetables platter weren't satisfactory at all. When we mentioned to the other lady (Hadash, I believe), she brought us some gravy of the Dorowot, which was the real thing! I wonder why they don't prepare all the dishes with typical Ethiopian spices! To make up for the disappointment, she served us Ethiopian coffee.

This is my second time here, but it won't be the last. We love the food here! We got tibs and the vegetarian platter. Such delicious, colourful, bright flavours in the veggies. The meat was tender and spiced perfectly. The owner and her niece are so kind. Thanks for everything! We will be back again and again!

Ive been to a lot of great Ethiopian restaurants. At Lucy, the food goes the extra mile - every item on the meat & veg platter was totally memorable, down the salad. The meat was tender, every flavour was interesting and well thought out. The kifto was remarkable - the taste, spices, and mouth feel really made our dinner into a food adventure. Very well done. And as always with Ethiopian cuisine, its a blast to share this food with your friends, drink a beer and chow down.

The food was absolutely disgusting no taste whatsoever. Very over seasoned food yet no taste. The quality was below 1 star because it tasted like leftovers from previous day that was warmed in the microwave and served to us. As I was looking for the washroom, I glanced at their kitchen It looked like a toilet. The service was better than the food.

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 when in town.

I realize there are many great reviews of this restaurant and I have no intention of being original. The food was fantastic. The person who served us made us feel at home in such a welcoming way. I had the lamb dish with the onions and peppers. The meat was tender perfectly spiced. We were three, another person took the beef and the last the vegetarian. All was wonderful. The tea was also a spiced mix that should not be missed! Vegetarian options: Great veg options. Equally satisfying for carnivores

Ordered a special meat platter two nights ago for takeout. Not only the amount of food was very small for the price, it did not taste very good either. I asked the meat to be medium, however it was so overcooked that it was very difficult to chew. There are many good Ethiopian restaurants on Danforth. Avoid.

Easily our favourite Ethiopian on the Danforth, and our go-to for takeout period. Hadas is so welcoming and her food is amazing. The veggie platter and kitfo are our favourites. Weve noticed the flavours change a little sometimes with the veggie platter (seasonally maybe), but that is part of the fun for us! We love this place!

Although it was my first time having Ethiopian food, walking into Lucy felt like I was being welcomed home as our server and other staff members were so kind and conscientious. As a group of three, we ordered the special meat platter for two as well as the vegetarian platter. The injera was plush and delicious, the meat incredibly juicy and fragrant, and vegetables all well-seasoned and very fresh. I loved every single bite and am planning on coming here again and again!

I loved this place. Amazing service and great food. My kids loved the variety in the vegetable and meat platter. Easy walk from Coxwell subway station.

It was very tasty, we had half vegetarian half beef injera for $35 dollars (serves for a little more than two people). Customer service was ok.

Lucys was the perfect choice to host my book club group to an authentic Ethiopian dining experience. Great food, we shared meat/veg platters, more than enough for two. The coffee is fantastic!

Very homely like feeling. Would recommend the meat and vegetable platter. Located right across the street on Danforth Avenue this is a must visit place for anyone who wishes to try delicious Ethiopian food. Its simple. Its tradition. Its lip smacking good. The owner also is extremely kind and friendly and always welcomes all her customers with a smile.

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 wasnt really a big fan of it myself. I didnt care for the texture and didnt 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 kind of food.
