Sheba's Ethiopian Kitchen

I was very interested in Ethiopian cuisine, so I brought my family to Sheba's. The restaurant is very spacious, and you can seat yourself. There was a bit of a language barrier with the server, but she knew enough English to take our orders. We were looking to sample and were referred to order a combo platter. We chose three types of meats and vegetables. We were all surprised once the food was served; we had no eating utensils. Only bread (injera). We were excited to eat like kids again. All hands in. The food was terrific. The cook came by to ask us about our meal. She was informed that we were first-time visitors to the restaurant. It was an aIt was a fantastic experience that I will try again.

I asked for three meats and two veggies plate. They put together some chicken, beef, lamb and delicious lentils and cabbage with a hard boiled egg. Ordered take out. It was delicious, I would go back.

AMAZING! Me & my friend wanted to try Ethiopian food for the first time. This was a GREAT choice. The place was rather empty but the service was top tier. The servers were very attentive, courteous and nice. We settled on buying one of the sharing entrees that came with 4 vegetables and 4 meats. We got the chicken, two different lambs and beef along with string beans, 2 types of lentils and greens. They make the food fresh so it's a bit of a wait but it was damn good and hot! Ambiance was very chill. Nice & laid back. It was a wonderful experience and will def say if this is your first time trying Ethiopian food or if you just want some I HIGHLY recommend this place!

Another great experience. Sheb's has some of the most authentic Ethiopian food in Dallas!! The service is just as amazing as the food.

I love the quality of food at this place. I almost always order the tibs (grilled meat, spices, onions) and the gomen (finally chopped greens with spices). Everything is fresh, which takes a minute to prepare, but is always worth the wait. The juices from these foods soak well into the spongy injera. I really also love the fact that I can bring in my gluten-free bestie and she can have their special injera too!

While the ambiance here is at best, minimal, don't let this gem slip by! The food and service more than make up for any shortcomings in the atmosphere. If you're new to Ethiopian cuisine bring a friend and order "The Best of Ethiopia." For roughly $40 you'll get more food than two can eat and you'll experience a variety of dishes. Just delicious every time!

So...I have been craving Ethiopian Food and Sheba's did not disappoint!I called in my order and 20 minutes later, my wonderful husband was coming through the door with what I've been JONESING for!As soon as I opened the box; I was swaddled like a wee babe by the inebriating scents of Berber Spices. Sheba's Selection offers your choice of 2 meats and 2 vegetables. I got the Lamb Tibs, Beef Wot, Collard Greens, and Lentils. The Lamb was tender and succulent from the slow simmered tomato sauce and spices. The Beef was loaded with spicy pieces of jalapeños, onions, and Rosemary. Both had me dreaming of the leftovers I was determined to have, so I could relive the joy of each morsel. The collard Greens were well seasoned and still had a little crunch which was a nice texture balance for the meal. The Lentils were spicy and full of life and flavor. But my FAVORITE was the Injera! There is something so satisfying about tearing pieces of tender injera and using it shepherd in the savory goodness that is Ethiopian Cuisine. In my opinion the fermentation of the Teff batter is what makes Injera so special. It lends a slight acidity to anything that has the privilege of being cloaked in the simple, naturally Gluten-Free "bread"(for lack of a better word). If your looking for Good, Authentic, Ethiopian Food, Sheba's is it! Go Check It Out!

Extra injera is only $1 for a whole one, their gomen is made from collard greens instead of spinach which makes it taste better and their yebeg (lamb) tibse is my favorite and comes with a ton of meat

Deciding to step outside of our food comfort level and entertain our palette to something new and different my wife and I stopped in at Shebas with a friend. We ordered Ethiopian beer ( which was amazing) and a couple of appetizers to start off with. Sambusa - Seasoned lentils with Onions and jalepanos wrapped in pastry sheet and deep friedAnd Kitfo - Steak tartar served from selected lean ground beef seasoned with spiced butter and bird'd eye chili pepper (mitmita). My wife can't eat overly spicy foods but was able to enjoy both appetizers (kind of apprehensive at 1st about eating raw meat but she found out during this that she loves Steak Tartar) After the appetizers I had the Dallas Special- Meat cubes marinated and sauteed with onions, jalapeno, and black peppers cooked medium rare.*Loved it! And my wife had the Short Ribs -Beef ribs seasoned with black pepper and special spices, grilled. The ribs were a little over cooked but very tasty and enjoyable. Our friend went all out and ordered the Best of Ethiopia Combination plate - Doro wot, kitfo, wiht a choice of Lamb and Beef tibs with house VegetableThis combination plate is huge and can easily feed three people so we all shared this. Everything on the combination plate was amazing even though I couldn't tell what everything was I was eating just by site alone other than the Duro Wat & Steak Tartar. The only thing I didn't try was the cabbage. Sheba's is an excellent place to go eat and I highly recommend checking it out!!

Service was good. The food poor to mediocre at best. We had aa large group there, but there was much disappointment.
