Queen of Sheba

Queen of Sheba is an Ethiopian eatery located in the heart of historic Washington D.C. The interior of the restaurant offers diners a glimpse into the culture and beauty of Africa. Queen of Sheba also pipes cultural music into the dining room. There is also a fully stocked bar where guests can order cold beer, a glass of wine or one of the house specialty cocktails.

Queen of Sheba makes its food the traditional way. Many dishes are plated up on large sampler platters and presented to the entire table. Inerja, a type of African bread that tastes a lot like sourdough, is used as a scoop for the many foods, sauces and chutneys that Queen of Sheba serves. Eating here is an authentic experience, so there no silverware; all dining is done purely with your hands.
