Queen Sheba Ethiopian - Parktown North

So pleased we decided to give Queen Sheba a try last night what a little gem! We thoroughly enjoyed our authentic Ethiopian meal and the friendly, comfortable atmosphere was enhanced by entertainment from guest artists, Pops Mohamed and the lovely Tu Nokwe.

Service with a smile! Very friendly staff and everything was delivered in good time. The menu is small and easy to understand, as opposed to other Ethiopian restaurants I've been to where the menu is so big, it's just overwhelming. They offer ideal combo meat and veg options if you want to taste a bit of everything. The food is authentically served and portions are decent! The food was fantastic. Would highly recommend this great little slice of Ethiopia. Oh and the coffee was delicious! (Obviously)

We decided that we felt like something different and for my friends, to try something new. Having eaten Ethiopian food before, I knew what to expect. And the food did not disappoint. Not a common cuisine is SA, it is a very tactile, flavorful food experience. The meal is eaten with your hands, using pieces of “rice bread” to scoop up the various different items off the platter. You order a platter which contains both meat and vegetarian ingredients and mix and match flavors and tastes as you go. It is not messy even though u eating with your hands. One of the most “fun and social” meals you could do with friends and family. Authentic experience from the staff to the decor. One suggestion to the owner would be to update the sign outside to something that better reflects the decor inside. Modernise and perhaps just have the name and underneath “An Ethiopian food experience”. You don’t want to put people off coming inside because the sign outside looks old and damaged and doesn’t in anyway reflect what you get once you through the door!

Food was awesome, excellent service. I am taking my friends there next time. Atmosphere is good. I would recommend it to anyone who want good food with a difference.

Great food and friendly staff. Didn't take picture of the starter but was delicious. The platter gives you a taste of every thing. Good value for money
