Queen of Sheba Restaurant

I don’t write google reviews but I feel it is my duty to share my experience.DO NOT COME HERE!!!! I live 30 minutes away from Queen of Sheba and the phone does not work so you have to come in person to place the order I guess. I drove the 30 minutes and was so excited to try this restaurant. I pre planned what I was going order so that everything would go as smooth as possible. I enter the restaurant and before I can reach the counter the owner looks me up and down (I was wearing sweats and a hoodie because I was planning on taking the food to go). I asked to place a to go order was she answered “Maybe. I can try.” I have a gluten sensitivity and selected this restaurant because the reviews and menu stated they offer gluten free enjera. When I requested the gf injera she immediately interrupted and said they don’t have that today (which happens at restaurants so sad but no big deal). I said that’s not a problem as I can just give the enjera to my partner that is not gluten free. She said she wouldn’t serve me at all because I’m gluten free. I explained to her that it’s a sensitivity and that I drove 30 minutes to try to food but was met with nothing but hostility. She said I couldn’t be trusted to not eat enjera and maybe if I bring my partner next time then she could trust me. I did start to tear up (I’m hungry and have never been treated with hostility in a restaurant to this degree) and she said “don’t be a comedian” .Take your hard earned money elsewhere. I recommend Nike Ethiopian in Aurora

Truly a gem. Food was out of this world fantastic. Chicken falls off the bone. Lamb is tender as could be. The lentils and Yatakelt Wott stand out on their own. Split the Queens Dinner for two with a friend and it was more than enough food for each. The amount of flavor in each bite is well worth dining here. The true star of the show is Ms Zebwe. The amount of love and experience she puts into every dish makes you feel like your eating your grandma's cooking.

We got the tibs and doro wat which came with sides of red lentils, split peas, as well as some boiled potatoes and carrots. Everything was exceptional and went well together. The beef tibs are well seasoned and the doro wat's sauce is packed with flavor, with super tender chicken drumsticks. The meat and veggie sambusas are nice and flaky, I would highly recommend either of them. Definitely call ahead and get a reservation if you can since it's a smaller restaurant, but if you aren't able to get through or leave a message I would just walk in. We walked in last week and the chef/owner mentioned she hasn't been able to receive calls for a couple weeks, it still appears to be when I tried calling most recently

Believe the hype: this place has some fantastic Ethiopian food. The restaurant is small and charming, making for a nice intimate setting for a date night or a night out with friends. The restaurant is a sole proprietorship in which the owner does everything: cooking, waiting tables, etc. As a result, service is not at lightning speed. But who wants that? I'll take excellent food over fast food any day of the week. I got the vegetarian platter for two and found that it was enough food to share. I did not leave hungry. Overall, I would highly recommend Queen of Sheba. It is one of the best Ethiopian restaurants that I have been to.

Delicious food! Nice owner. Love that there’s combination platters and ways to try many things. Looking forward to returning

I was so excited to try this food. After driving 30 minutes I was met with the nastiest worker. She was rude and condescending and refused to serve me. I am gluten free, so I asked for bread to be on the side. I was ordering for my boyfriend and myself and he is NOT gluten free. Absolutely do not go here regardless of the other reviews. To spend your hard earned money is a privilege. When you choose to support small businesses and met with this type of customer service….. nope we can do without your food and your business.

Delicious! We were excited to try based on rave reviews from our neighbors. We tried the dinner for two to get a wide variety- great portion size, everything was wonderful. The owner takes great pride in her food and remembers everyone. We will be back!

Come hungry, sit back, relax, and enjoy this one woman show. The food wont be fast but enjoy a cold Ethiopian beer while you wait. Vegetarian here so cannot speak to the meat options but the veg options (lentils, cabbage, collard greens etc) are wonderful. Unsure of the chefs name but she is as funny as she is good at cooking. A special place I love showing my friends and family.
