I stumbled upon this cozy little spot and it turned out to be delicious.From the moment I walked in, I was greeted like an old friend, who has this infectious smile that could melt butter.The staff here isn't "friendly", they're the kind of warm, genuine folks who make you feel like family crashing a Sunday dinner. Now, the food... chef's kiss times infinity, it was Divine. I keep my choice very simple 1/2 veggie and 1/2 meat combo In and it was delicious!!! Prices are fair and service was quick. If you're craving food that's not just excellent but soul-satisfying, and service that restores your faith in humanity, run (don't walk) to Lucys Ethiopian Food. Every time I come to Las Vegas, I'll be sure to come. I can't wait to bring the whole family next time!

Delicious food, lovely staff and convenient location…read more I haven't had Ethiopian food in a while, so instead of choosing one dish, I opted for the half meat/ half veggie platter. The portion is huge so be prepared to share and still have leftovers to take home. My favorites were the beef with onions and meat in green sauce. For veggies, I loved the greens and steamed spinach. Simple and clean to enjoy between the other flavors on the plate. I do wish the yellow and green lentils had more spices/ seasoning since they were a little bland. Overall a great platter though. The lentil samosa is also delish!

Washed down with a large Pilsner. Everything was delicious! There was a great variety of veg- some cold, and some warm. All very well seasoned. It was a very colorful and textured platter which I appreciated. The lamb was just spicy enough and the collard greens with beef chunks was amazing / very tender and flavorful. The owners son explained everything and had great recommendations for what to order and how to reheat any leftovers. We came back the next day for an early dinner around 5:00 and brought our husbands who enjoyed it as much as we did! Definitely a keeper of you enjoy great Ethiopian food!

If you've never experienced it before you're in for a treat. The owner of the cafe was very accommodating and made wonderful conversation. Traditionally, Ethiopian coffee takes a good while before it's prepared and ready to drink, and that's true here. This is because the coffee beans are roasted fresh, ground, then slowly boiled in a traditional black clay pot to extract all the flavors. Back in Ethiopia this gives time for family and friends to socialize and enjoy each other's company as the coffee is getting ready. If you're in a rush then this isn't what you're looking for, but if you have some free time and want to hang out this is perfect. Be warned, Ethiopian coffee is STRONG. If you're sensitive to caffeine and really want to try some I suggest eating something here (they have a lot of different snacks and Ethiopian food) first and then having some traditional coffee so the caffeine is released into your system slower.

I was craving Ethiopian food and it's been awhile since I've had some in Las Vegas. So we decided…read moreto try somewhere new to us and Little Ethiopia Restaurant and Market came up on Yelp. It was after 2 pm on a Sunday when we walked in. The restaurant and market was empty, and the side room to the right was also empty. Someone came out and we indicated a party of four and she motioned to the tables. The tables are all two tops, so she had to pull two round tables together for us. It's a smaller restaurant area than other Ethiopian restaurants in town. The side room looks like it could be used for coffee ceremonies? She gave us menus and took our drink orders. They only offer bottled water for $2 each as tap isn't available. And regular sodas were in the fridge. We put our usual order in: * Mixed Vegetarian Platter $20.99 - This includes red lentils, split yellow peas, cabbage with carrots, collard greens, green beans with carrots and red beets with potatoes. When this arrived, we dug right in and our favorite was the red lentils right off the bat. I did enjoy all their vegetarian offerings though as it was really flavorful. * Kitfo $20.99 - We ordered their minced lean beef raw versus medium or well done. It also came with cottage cheese and Ethiopian style collard greens. Their version of kitfo was really flavorful, probably one of the better ones we've had. I was really impressed from the first bite. We really enjoyed the food and got our fill and left very full. There wasn't anything particularly memorable about the service but the food stood out and we left quite happy and content. I would return!

My favorite was the yellow mung and my wife's favorite was the green mung. It reminded us of Indian and Sri Lankan cuisines. Overall, it's a solid restaurant and we would recommend to those who enjoy similar traditional dishes. We would definitely come back again.

Okay, so, I've never actually been to Axum Palace…read more I had a stellar food delivery deal and Ethiopian sounded grand. (Ethiopian is my favorite cuisine.) Axum Palace was the first to show up on my restaurant feed, so I placed an order for two veggie dishes. What showed up on my doorstep was two full trays of these Ethiopian legume mashes, packed tight with extra injera bread. Yesssss! I got the mildest spice options for both dishes when ordering online. 1. Lentil: Savory red lentils stewed in garlic, onions, and berbere. 2. Alicha Kik: Split beans cooked with olive oil, onions, garlic, ginger, and turmeric. Both dishes were fantastic, with the lentil having more overall flavor and spices than Alicha Kik. The legume mashes, and the injera bread, are vegetarian, healthy, and gluten-free! I loved my order from Axum Palace and have absolutely no complaints. I'm going to be ordering from them again too!
