Reviews Lula's Ethiopian And Eritrean Cuisine

My family have been going to Lula’s since they started in Gloucester Green Market. So when we were planning our wedding, there was no question that we wanted Lula to cater the reception lunch and it was the best decision we could have made. We made the most beautiful memories over a beautifully decorated space, delicious food, and meticulous and friendly service. Not to mention Lula accommodated for all dietary needs of our guest. Also, the epitome of convenience located just down the road from the registry office and across the street from the train station. So glad that our favourite restaurant in Oxford is even more special now. Highly recommend everyone drop in an make some memories there too!

My God this place is delicious. The spicy chicken was to die for. I'm no stranger to ethiopian food and this is as good as it gets. I had to get two more boxes as takeaway all the way to Bristol because you can't get this kind of home cooked deliciousness just anywhere. Service and vibes was great too.

I’ve always passed Lula’s Ethiopian cuisine on my way home & have always been intrigued as I have never had Ethiopian or Eritrean food before. A few days ago I walked across it and it just smelt sooo nice! So today I was hungry and decided to pay it a visit. I am so happy I did! Not only was the food absolutely delicious, it was and felt healthy too. Most restaurants are usually just full of fried foods and lots of carbs. But Lula’s restaurant was full of nutritious food which filled me up & tasted so good. I got the red lentil, fossolia and injera. It was so fun eating with my hands, back home where I’m from (Kazakhstan) we also eat our national dishes with our hands. So the experience felt so homely and the food tasted like it was made with love. I will definitely visit again!! The staff were wonderful and checked up on me during my meal. I also got the mango juice, it was also amazing too. When I left I also asked for a slice of carrot cake, which I’m eating as I am writing this review. It is so lovely as everything is in this restaurant ❤️ it was definitely worth my money, I spent just under £25 for incredible food, atmosphere and overall experience. Thank you!!! -From Bibi

5 stars is not enough for Auntie Lulas! I love this family run spot. The service and food was impeccable. Staff are so welcoming and couldn’t have done more for me and my friend. I had the lamb dish, gomen (curried potato and carrot) and shiro (ground chickpea curry). Some of the best Ethiopian food I’ve had, probably the best in the south for sure. The injera was the highlight for me, Lula uses pure teff as it should be, no corners cut. We also had the cake and Ethiopian coffee which was enjoyed too much to take a photo lol. I will be back for sure.

Situated close to the train station, it's away from most of the chain restaurants that dominate Oxford. The interior of the restaurant is bright, airy and green with plenty of plants. We opted to share a vegetable platter with came with the pancake-like bread (made from teff flour I think) which happens to be gluten free. The vegetable dishes were delicious and just the right amount of food. It was also fun eating with our hands, although they provide cutlery. Will return.
