The food is good, but they often just don't open, but don't give any notice or sign, leaving everyone standing around outside. This has happened to us several times. Not worth the drive.

The food is good almost as good as Kokeb ( I miss that place) as for service we were never given a refill of water nor asked how the food was and the restaurant was freezing.

Took my family for their first Ethiopian restaurant and they loved it. The chicken gravy's were both fantastic.The place was a little empty and had to pay for parking but otherwise the eating experience was great.I highly recommend this place.

Really good food and nice staff. Hit the spot and was the best value of any meal I had in Seattle. Well done!

Do not order online from this restaurant, especially from Google maps. Just come and dine in or order while there.They have great food and I’ve been a customer when I lived in Capitol Hill pre-Covid. BUT they do not track their online orders, do not see them and not sure if they get money for it.I paid through Google maps and got charged but when I came for pick up they refused to fulfill the order, asking me to cancel. There was no cancel button in Google maps, and I was charged $40. The confirmation email had Queen Sheba logos all over.They were nice and made the order which I appreciate. I give them 4 stars because they should be better about it, and work with Google to remove online ordering as an option all together. It added stress and wait time to my experience.

Very pleasant dinner experience here. Our server was very polite, the food was tasty, I liked the atmosphere of the restaurant, and the price was incredibly reasonable. Fun experience too, using the injera to scoop up the main course.We both had the Gomen Tibs (pictured).

Came here with a group of 5 people and ordered the Queen Sheba Combo and Asa Wot. It was more than enough food and we couldn't finish all of it! I love all the spices and flavor that was added to the dishes. The service was fast and the waiter was super sweet. Great place if you're craving ethiopian food!

Delicious tasting food and it is quite filling. Really enjoyed the flavors. The restaurant building is a bit old and chilly, fortunately we sat next to a portable heater. Server was super nice but definitely over worked as he was the only one working the shift.

Despite the "Cocktails" sign, no cocktails or drink menu. We got the King Solomon platter, I liked the green chicken!

Great food! A little chilly inside, bring a sweater. We loved everything, we were comfortable. The staff were very kind. We had a great time! We recommend this location. There's close paid parking, just around the corner.My fiancée and I brought my mom here! Ethiopian food is her favourite and there's no restaurants where she's from in Central B.C, Canada. We even loved the name, it's sentimental to us because my Grandma used to always say "Who do you think you are, the Queen of Sheba?" Hahaha Today we did feel like Queen Sheba, with this fine dining.

I Used To Love Eating Here. I Would Come Here Pretty Often it Was Peaceful. Overtime It Started to taste Different , I Don't Know If they Changed the Recipe or Anything, It Just Didn't Taste like How when i First Ate there.

I ordered online here through Google Maps but when I showed up, the staff said they never got my order. When I asked the staff at the restaurant they said this has been a problem for other customers too, but they didn’t seem to care about fixing it. Bad experience.
