Queen Of Sheba

First time eating here and I didn’t know it is eaten with your hands but I guess that is an experience in itself. I ordered the potatoes and green beans with carrots “Atakilt Alicha,” green salad, and sautéed beef tips with veggies “Alicha tibs.” Yummy food. I will try a little more spicy next time but she was great. Plus the bread is gluten free if you like bread.

Been trying to expand my culinary horizons and with some encouragement from friends, decided to try Ethiopian cuisine. A search on the Internet showed Queen of Sheba as one of the best Ethiopian restaurants in Portland. So, we gave it a try and weren't disappointed. The restaurant is small and somewhat dark which made reading the menu a challange. My wife and I ordered the vegetarian sampler for 2 which included a nice variety of ten mildly spicy options placed on top of injera bread on a large platter. It took a little practice using the injera bread to scoop up the food and get it into my mouth without dropping it. But,that made the experience feel much more authentic. The food had good flavor and I think next time I need to try one of the meat dishes with the spicier berber sauce.
