Welcome to Lucy Ethiopian Restaurant, a haven for Ethiopian food in the heart of Las Vegas.
Ethiopia is home to a diverse and vibrant culture that has been shaped by its storied history. From the ancient ruins of Axum to the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela, Ethiopia is full of historical sites and cultural treasures. The cuisine of Ethiopia is equally as diverse, with a range of flavors and spices that have been passed down through generations.
Traditional Ethiopian cuisine is based on stews, known as wats, which are served atop injera, a spongy flatbread made from teff flour. Wats are typically made with a variety of vegetables, legumes, and spices, and can be served with a variety of meats. Injera is an integral part of Ethiopian cuisine and is often used to scoop up the wats and other dishes.
