Good evening — welcome to Lucy's

Come sit with us.
There's injera on the table

Home-style Ethiopian cooking in the heart of Silver Spring. Every dish prepared the way it's meant to be — shared, slow, and full of flavor.

A table set with
warmth and intention

Lucy Ethiopian Restaurant was born from a simple belief: that the best meals are the ones shared with people you care about. Our kitchen follows recipes passed down through generations — each berbere blend ground by hand, each injera fermented just right, each stew given the time it needs to become something special.

Located on Georgia Avenue in Silver Spring, we've been welcoming neighbors and visitors alike since day one. Whether you're joining us for a quick weekday lunch or a leisurely Sunday dinner, you'll find the same care in every plate.

More than a meal —
a moment to yourself

At Lucy's, dining is unhurried. We believe food tastes better when you have time to savor it. Our dining room is quiet, warm, and designed to feel like a home you're glad to visit.

Ethiopian meals are traditionally shared from a common platter — it's a practice we honor here. Come with friends, come alone, come hungry. There's always room for one more at the table.

Made with care Every dish prepared fresh — no shortcuts, no rush
