The ethnic food where I lived was tasty and looked good. ( Is 'where I lived' an appropriate phrase in the sentence? If so, what does the sentence mean? )

It means (this is an ellipsis):


The ethnic food which was available in the neighbourhood where I lived was tasty and looked good.

Does sentence 1 have the same meaning as sentence 2? It means (this is an ellipsis) - I don't understand what you mean.

1. The ethnic food where I lived was tasty and looked good

2. The ethnic food which was available in the neighbourhood where I lived was tasty and looked good.
