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!
Had the warmest welcome at Lula’s. There was some live music and the atmosphere was great! The food was so warming and flavourful - really enjoyed the sharing platter! thank you
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.
A must visit restaurant for some delicious and exciting food! The food is fantastic and spices bring each dish alive with flavour. The Ethiopian bread is as soft as a pillow and naturally a perfect match to the food. My second experience eating Ethiopian but for sure it won’t be my last!

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!!!

Amazing food that tasted super fresh and made with the kind of thought that you only get from homemade meals - a real treat for eating out! It was also right by Oxford station so a good stop after a long journey.
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.
Amazing Ethiopian food in Oxford!
We are huge Ethiopian food fans and Lula’s did not disappoint us! The warmth and graciousness of Mat and his mom, Ms.Lula combined with their delicious food - Injera and the amazing curries and lentils made our day!
Totally recommend this restaurant if you are craving for some authentic Ethiopian food.
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.
Went for my pops 67th, with my 10 month old. Everyone was impressed, good amenities for tending to a 10 month old's needs. Food felt home cooked and most importantly delicious, generous portions. Nice space, friendly waiter.
