    This is a combination of a restaurant and grocer in an area with an abundance of Ethiopian options. It was very quiet on the Saturday afternoon when I had lunch; the person who took my order described it as their slow time. I hope there is a fast time. I had the veggie platter which was quite reasonably priced at $12. The lentils in a berbere sauce were smokier than normal, which was a nice changeup. The other dishes were close to standard fare and were tasty. The injera they use is teff, not the teff/wheat hybrid that is in many restaurants (this is important to me due to allergies). The seating for the restaurant is small but quite comfortable and I enjoyed the atmosphere here more than some other places. They get bonus points for that. So, very good option for Ethiopian food and spices.

    I honestly came here to find tamarind paste since it's so hard to find this in other Asian grocery…read morestores. I use it to make my own pad Thai! This place had it and had other Thai necessities! I also got the yellow curry paste and some marinade for satay chicken. They even had prepared foods available to order or just pick up. They had curry to desserts available!! I definitely want to come back and try some! Service was nice! Staff were very helpful! Ambiance was casual.

    On my visit to Vegas, my kids always want some homemade Thai barbecue, sticky rice, a papaya salad…read more Sometimes they want the Thai sausage to go with the barbecue. We always stop here. They have all of the brands I used to use in Thailand. Last year we bought all of the utensils needed to cook Thai food. So this time we only need the green pie, thai sausages, golden boy sauce, and dark sweet soy sauce. I don't know the names of half the bottles of sausages, I just recognize the labels. What I bought : Isarn cured sausages One large papaya (unripe - green) Fish sauce Dark sweet soy sauce Golden boy thin soy About $25 for everything so not bad. Lady at the counter was a bit shocked that I spoke to thai. And no, not just the normal greetings and stuff... after 10 years of living in Thailand it's still pretty good, This is definitely our go to spot. On the side, they have a deli counter. I've never actually used, so one day I will try.

She was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely interested in helping me find the right products for my health goals. Instead of just pointing me to items on the shelf, she actually took the time to explain what different vitamins do, how they work together, and which ones would be most beneficial for me personally. I learned a lot of useful things about nutrition and supplements that I didn't know before. What stood out the most was how friendly and approachable she was. She made the whole experience feel comfortable and welcoming, and I never felt rushed. It's rare to meet someone who clearly enjoys helping people and takes pride in sharing their knowledge. Because of her, I feel much more confident about the supplements I'm taking and how they support my health. Honestly, employees like her are the reason customers come back. She represents the store incredibly well with her professionalism, positivity, and expertise. If every shopping experience were like this one, I'd never go anywhere else for vitamins.

    I am a huge fan of Ethiopian food and I am so delighted that Lucy Ethiopian is one of the best here…read morein Las Vegas. Located on Decatur and Flamingo in an unassuming shopping center, it's the kind of place you pretty much need to know about to find. You're really not going to spot it from the road, so plug it into your GPS and follow the guidance and the smells to this terrific gem. I've only ever been at lunch and never found it to be very busy. There are always tables full of people enjoying great food, however, and they have a lot of space to spread out so I can't say that you'd have to wait very long if there were a line. They have tables for parties of all sizes as well as traditional Ethiopian baskets you can sit around and dine from. I've not experienced that here yet. The staff is super friendly and, you can tell how passionate they are about the food. Attentive service. I never want for anything. If you've never dined at an Ethiopian restaurant before you're in for an experience. Food is served in piles on large platters and there are not forks, knives, or spoons. You tear off pieces of injera, a slightly sour fermented pancake-like flatbread with a slightly spongy texture, traditionally made of teff flour, and dig into the piles with your hands. It's a truly tactile experience and really, I think, adds to the uniqueness of the food. (Note they have handwashing stations so you and your party can ensure clean fingers when eating off of the same platter. There are both meat and non-meat options. I always gravitate to the vegetarian options when I come and am always completely satisfied. Piles of lentils, peas, cabbage, beets, greens, and salad are perfectly spiced...some quite mild and others with a slight spicy bite. Nothing too picante although the salad does have sliced jalapeño in it so be mindful of that if you're not a fan of spicy. Aromatic flavors and textures will leave you wanting more. I always love visiting here and encourage you to visit. So, so good!

    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!
