About

Queen Sheba centers its culinary identity on authentic Ethiopian traditions, emphasizing the communal experience of sharing vibrant, spice-forward dishes atop sourdough injera. The menu prioritizes complex flavors derived from traditional spice blends like berbere and mitmita, which season an array of slow-cooked legumes, vegetables, and savory stews. Diners utilize the spongy, fermented flatbread as the primary utensil to scoop up hearty preparations ranging from red lentils to sautéed greens. This establishment offers significant variety for those seeking plant-based meals, ensuring that vegan options remain central rather than secondary to the overall dining concept. The kitchen focuses on delivering bold, earthy profiles through meticulous preparation of pulses and aromatic legumes. Every served platter reflects the heritage of communal eating, encouraging patrons to engage with the food in a tactile and shared manner throughout their meal.

The service wasn't good at all, there was a lot of rudeness coming from the attending waitress. The appetizer was much better than the meal I ordered itself & it wasn't my first time trying Ethiopian Food. I was with my friends, a group of 5, we ordered a big meal which was recommended from the menu only to end up with so little stew & one drumstick chicken. I asked the waitress that maybe it might be a mixed up cause the order was meant for a group of 5, only to ended up with a rude'I don't know' answer. The bill ended up racking up to around $180 bucks which was SOOOO overpriced for the quality & quantity of the meal we ended up with. I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND GOING THERE!!!

I was in Montreal for a day & found this awesome restaurant. I had their tibs & kitfo, & the food was super flavorful! Their Jebena Buna coffee was really rich & smooth too. I even got to meet the owner, he's a super nice guy. I totally recommend this place if you want some real Ethiopian food in Montreal!

Highly recommend.
From the warm welcome to the'good night', Jerusalem, our server, was wonderful.
The food was incredible. Three of us shared the 4 person platter & we'll probably have it again next time.
PS try the coffee.

This place is delicious!! We got the platter for 3 & it was beautifully presented & equally delicious. The owner was very kind to us throughout our meal; even offered us some warm tea since it's super chilly tonight. 10/10 recommend.

The food was lovely & the staff helpful. The owner came to say hello to our table which is always nice. Having you be escorted to the wine room to select your own bottle of wine 🍷 was a nice touch 👌 Would recommend you visit this place if you are in the area.
