Queen Sheba is a charming Ethiopian restaurant near the corner of Broadway and 17th street in downtown Sacramento. Queen Sheba is a neighbor to several other ethnic restaurants.

Ethiopian food is more communal than almost any other type of ethnic food. The hallmark of Ethiopian cuisine consists of sharing food on one giant plate and using injera– a spongy, sour, pliable flat bread– to scoop up the various shared dishes. Go To MenuEnjeera is a part of almost every meal for Ethiopia’s middle and upper classes. Prepared much as it was 1,000 years ago, enjeera is both an eating utensil and a surface for other foods to lie on. It lines the giant plate, soaking up the sauces and spices of the various dishes piled on top. The eating of this lining, or “tablecloth,” signifies that the meal is officially over, thus completing the communal Ethiopian dining experience.

Queen Sheba offers many delicious, traditional dishes for you to enjoy, including a number of Vegetarian and Vegan options. You’ll end your dining experience by eating the large “tablecloth” Injera, which will have soaked up the sauces and spices of the various dishes. Finish up with some coffee; coffee drinking has a great significance in Ethiopia,Go To Menu ceremonial in nature.

The flavors and customs of Ethiopian dining will provide you with the experience of food from the “cradle of civilization”.
