We ordered the vegan sampler for several people, and everything was quite flavorful and beautiful. Way more food than we could eat, though. The place is a bit dingy, but go for the food.
I love eating here!.
This is one of my top Portland picks.
There is nothing fancy about Queen of Sheeba and this makes it great. I would not say it is a good first date place as you are eating with your hands and it is pretty spicy. It is good for big group of people and a fun meal. Whenever I have quests in from out of town I take them here and the Montage.
The food is always good the meal is fun and the owners are so kind and make you feel like you are in their home.
Yum Yum Yum!…
Pretty normal food, not great interiors. This was quite ordinary ethiopian food. I definitely tasted much better ethiopian food. The much smaller Ethiopian restaurant in Hillsboro (Lalibela) is much better. I somehow did not feel good about the place - don't know whether it's the interiors/decors or the atmospher, it did not feel right.…
Best Ethiopian in the Northwest.
I travel for my job and I have made it a tradition to always eat at a local Ethiopian restaurant in EVERY city I visit. I've been doing this for 6 years now and have had Ethiopian in Norway, Germany,
Spain, South Africa, and every major city in the US.
Queen of Sheba is the best in the NW, including Seattle, no question.
Suggestions: Have the Zilzil Tibs and Atakilt Alicha. It's a nice combo of meat and veggies and is great for folks who are new to Ethiopion as well as old timers.
The owner's name is Alem, and if he's in the day you eat, be sure to chat with him. He's 90% of the ambiance, and if he's not around the service can be a smidge spotty, but it's Portland, so expect that everything is on its own time. :)…
Yummy, but a bit of a weird atmosphere.. I took my boyfriend here last fall and although the food was good and the smell of Ethiopian coffee roasting was nice, I doubt if we'll go back. It had a very weird vibe. The decor was old and outdated and looked as if it was an old bookstore that someone threw a few cafeteria tables and chairs into, and then added a few paintings and artifacts to give it an authentic look. No music was playing at all, which was sort of weird too and the service wasn't so great. All in all, if I exhaust all other choices in this category, I might come back, but I doubt it.…
