Luhena Restaurant and Bar

The service was very personal and excellent. This is a family business in the best possible way. The only issue we had was of our own doing. We did not research the restaurant enough before going. It turns out that they serve their very special 12 dish Vegetarian food only on Wednesday and Fridays. That was what we were looking forward to having. Other days the serving are primarily meet (Lamb and Beef) with injera. No realy selection of veggies other than a salad.The staff did their best to put something together for us and were really helpful. We'll have to come back someday to try their Veggie dishes on a Wednesday or Friday.

I'm in Las Vegas for a couple of days visiting my father in the hospital and really wanted to have some Ethiopian food because it's something I just can't get back home in Bakersfield, California. My father's nurse is from Ethiopia and spoke highly of Luhena so we headed here for a bite to eat. What we got was a culinary experience right up there with some of the best restaurant food I've had EVER, and definitely the best Ethiopian food I've had. The hostess warned us it would take a little bit of time for our food to be cooked because the chef (her mom) cooks the food TO ORDER and it isn't just precooked food sitting there waiting to be served.WHAT? WHAT? I essentially get a home cooked meal? SIGN ME UP. I used to live in the San Francisco Bay Area which has a number of good Ethiopian restaurants. I loved Ethiopian food so much, my ex husband and I ate it almost weekly. Luhena put them all to shame. My brother and I ordered the Kitfo, an Ethiopian style steak tartar and it was absolutely amazing. The flavors were so intense, yet not overwhelming and it was so tender. Best tartar I've ever had. It came with injera bread, French bread and another, somewhat crispy, bread that I've never had before. With some collard greens and cheese on the side it was possible to create the perfect bite in multiple different combinations.But the dish that knocked our socks off was the lamb aware tibs. The sauce was beyond incredible to the point where we soaked the last little bits of it up with the light and spongy injera bread that it came with. We gorged ourselves and then eagerly packed up all the leftovers to enjoy at home.

Our amazing taxi driver recommended this place, was so sweet to walk us in too. It's a really nice family owned place and they're so nice in there! I'm a vegetarian and got the vegetarian platter which is only served Wednesday and Saturday. I believe it was good, but it was a lot of food. Probably best to eat it with more than one person. Definitely recommend!

The food was delicious and the portion of the food was great and we can't even finish it between three of us. We were so amazed. Excellent service with friendly staff and atmosphere. The restaurant was super clean and roomy. I strongly recommend this restaurant for anyone who wants to go and enjoy the food, the service and the atmosphere with your family, friends or love ones.

This restaurant is remarkable. We've been to Ethiopian restaurants all over America, and this is quite probably our favorite ever. The service was personal, the vibes impeccable, and the food is out of this world. Can't recommend Luhena highly enough, especially the veggie combo (served on Wednesdays and Fridays) and the special kitfo .

Luhena is arguably the best Ethiopian restaurant, not just in Las Vegas but in the entire country. From the elegant décor to the impeccable service, and most importantly, the outstanding food, it offers the most delicious Ethiopian cuisine I have ever tasted.

The customer service was not only excellent but very exceptional. Although we were quite uncertain with our selection the waitress was very patient and extremely cooperative. In addition, despite the number of dishes ordered, the timing was also quite amazing. The food is very delicious and cooked to perfection. I would not dare go somewhere else in the future.

Delicious food, friendly staff and ownership, and of particular help with unfamiliar menu items.

The food is amazing specially kitfo, and tibes. The restaurant is clean and the service excellent.

Best and delicious Ethiopian food. I highly recommended if you visit Las Vegas go to Luhena.
