Queen Sheba - Sacramento, CA

We offer friendly and attentive service along with spicy, flavorful dishes that follow the traditions of Ethiopian dining. You can enjoy the famed honey wine, Tej, which Ethiopians often make themselves, with its unique taste that complements the spices in the food.

Combination plates on the menu allow you to sample different dishes arranged symmetrically on a giant plate. One of these dishes is Gomen, which consists of cooked spinach, collard greens, onions and garlic. Gomen may remind you of collards in soul-food cooking. Then experience Misr Kik Wot (wot simply means “stew”), a satisfying dish made with lentils and spices. Other examples of traditional dishes include two similar-tasting choices, Doro Wot and Gored Gored. Doro Wot is a popular dish, with chicken leg and hard-boiled egg, served on a dark bed of simmered vegetables and spices. It has the color, consistency and heat of a fiery chili. Gored Gored consists of cubes of beef in a mixture similar to Doro Wot, spiced in Ethiopian fashion with berbere. Berbere, a mix of at least a dozen spices, including paprika, ginger, cardamom, hot chilis and turmeric, gives many Ethiopian foods their distinctive flavor. (from http://queenshebas.com)
