OMG I was walking by this restaurant and smelled the good food. I had to stop in. I ordered the curry chicken dinner, yams and collard greens and rice and beans . Amazing is an understatement . I had never had curry chicken made that way before. It was so so so good. I'll be back tomorrow to try the mac and cheese. A MUST GO TO .

One of the google review's starts off "Lord have Mercy," and I must agree. What a phenomenal food experience. It is the epitome of hole in the wall. I thought I was accidentally going into the kitchen but it was the very small waiting room. We ordered our food ahead on the phone - easy to order, people were nice on the phone. Food was ready in 25min. Menu isn't huge which I always see as a good sign. We got the mac and cheese. Fantastic. Nice and toasted on the top which gave it a crispness and delicious and not overly salty or fatty throughout. We had the jerked chicken soul plate. Amazing. The chicken, the rice, the yams, the collards...all just perfect. The chicken had a great kick too it and lots of nice charred bits but also lots of juicy tender bits. Yams were naturally sweet and complemented the chicken great. I don't usually like collards because of the bitterness but these were great. Price was beyond reasonable for the quality and quantity of food (2 of us ordered one soul plate and one side of mac and cheese and it lasted for dinner for both of us and lunch for one person). Our friend got the jerked chicken cheesesteak and gave it 10/10. They also cater. Check em out immediately.

Sheba's Soul Plate is an unassuming, take-out only restaurant that hides truly delicious bites. I ordered the jerk tofu platter which came with collard greens, yam, and white rice for $14. There was a 25 minute wait and it is small inside, with only a little bench, so I would recommend calling ahead or placing your order ahead of the time online to prevent waiting like I did. The wait though was well worth it! The tofu was crispy and really well-seasoned/packed with flavor. The collard greens were soft and well-seasoned as well. And the yams were so tasty! For me, sometimes yams are too sweet but I felt these yams perfectly balanced the jerk seasoning on the tofu. This meal lasted me ~3 meals because it was very filling with the rice and sides. I highly recommend Sheba's and I am excited to go back to try more food options there soon!

It’s Valentines Day and my partner stopped by Sheba’s to pick up our dinner and my my my, this food is delicious. It was still when we he got home with my BBQ Salmon with rice and beans, greens and candied yams.Everything individually has flavor. The rice is cooked just rice; not mushy or crunchy. Great portion size of salmon and not drowning in sauce. The greens seasoned and not spicy. I have had greens from other restaurants where they make the greens spicy. It was a pleasant surprise not to have a “kick” to my greens.The candied yams were nice and soft and now drowning in syrup. Just the way I like it.I look forward to trying something else on the menu.

Curry chicken, rice and peas, greens, and yams… don’t think there’s a better lunch to be had in philly. Humble and unassuming spot that just hits. 10/10
Food is absolutely amazing. BBq Tofu, Salmon, and Chicken are awesome. The sweet potatoes are great and not too sweet. The jerk Salmon cheesesteak is so good. I have one complaint. THE GREENS ARE SO GOOD, BUT WAYYYYY TOO OILY. BACK THE OIL UP OFF THE GREENS?!!

These stars across the board are proudly earned. You are welcomed with polite & enjoyable service then acknowledged even if there is a wait on the food. Be patient; they are busy & everyone communicates so well in the kitchen. The atmosphere is calming & cultural. Now the food- man listen… my blackened salmon was not the “usual” blackened salmon; you taste all the herbs, the rosemary & more- put a hint of lemon juice too.. the flavor is slammin’. I loved the greens & the yams melt in your mouth; now as for the rice , you can legitimately taste the light hint of coconut. I loved it all. Now the Jerk Chicken- flavorful & juicy. This food is made with love from amongst those in the kitchen to spreading the love to all. I will be back to try the Sorrell & Ginger Ice Tea- it was out but I’m truly not surprised after trying their food. Thank you y’all!
