Queen Sheba – Ethiopian
Queen Sheba invites guests into a vibrant sanctuary where the intoxicating aroma of berbere and slow-simmered spices fills the air, setting the stage for a soulful communal feast. Crispy sambusas give way to rich, velvety doro wot and sizzling pans of tibbs, all served atop tangles of sourdough injera that serves as both plate and utensil. Whether savoring the bold heat of awaze-spiced beef or the delicate, melt-in-your-mouth textures of traditional kitfo, every bite celebrates the deep traditions and warm hospitality of the Ethiopian highlands.
