Queen of Sheba Ethiopian Restaurant

Went to this restaurant recently as it´s just around the corner. Very friendly service, although as someone has already pointed out, very laid out and slow. Dont go if in a rush. Food was good, we ordered the Sheba salad (quite an small portion) and the grilled injera with spices which was quite nice. Chicken goulash and the crispy beef were our mains. The chicken was delicious and the portion generous, with interesting flavours. The beef was a bit disspointing, with plenty of oily sauce but not much meat. The bill came up to 33 pounds including soft drinks and service, so not bad at all. Will come back here. Atmosphere very pleasant, although found the seats by the windows very uncomfortable.

I read the reviews on this site and was very much looking forward to eating at the Queen of Sheba, as I've recently moved nearby. I have to say, i was very disappointed. The food was moderately tasty, but the portions were quite small and definately over-priced for what we received. the wine list was also really disappointing with lots of 'jacob's creek' bottles!! this was all a bit of a shame as the place looks and smells really nice. also, they charged us 12.5% service despite the menu saying 'there is no service charge added'. when i pointed this out, they just thanked me for letting them know, but charged me just the same anyway. i won't be back!

Having lived just around the corner, I went many times with different friends to this restaurant and all agreed, the food is fantastic. Despite the fact that I moved to a different area, I'm still traveling up north to visit this restaurant. I don;t understand some of the comments regarding the service, I;ve never had any complaints and it hard to imagine that the owners running the restaurant could be rude. I always experienced them very friendly and welcoming.

Was reasonable food, with friendly if a little slow service. Honey wine was nice, but avoid if you don't like very sweet wine.
