Restaurant review

[sugarplumkitty]

My friend finickynarcane and I went out to dinner to a new (to me) Ethiopian restaurant on The Alameda last Thursday. We had the vegetarian platter with Yebeg Tibs, a juicy lamb selection. Yum! I particularly liked the combination of spices they used. We ordered it "medium" spicy because we didn't know how hot that would be. There was hardly any hotness to it at all. Next time, I plan on ordering "hot." We couldn't quite finish the food because we got so full. It was so good we really wanted to finish it!

If you like Ethiopian food and haven't tried Queen of Sheba at 1860 The Alameda in San Jose, then you really should! The prices were quite reasonable.
They've got a website: http://www.queenofshebarestaurant.com

If you haven't tried Ethiopian food before, it's an experience. The food is served on a communal platter and eaten by hand with injerra, a soft, slightly rubbery, textured pan bread.

i have tried ethiopian food.

and it just does not work for me. it is that injerra that turned me off. i had some honey wine though, the last time i was at an ethiopian restaurant.

i shall try it again. i don't eat meat. so the only flavoring i get is from vegetables. that can make even a special ethiopian meal very dull and boring.

glad you enjoyed though .
