Some of the best Ethiopian food in town. This woman is amazing. She runs the restaurant by herself! Everything was fresh cooked and tasted great. Highly recommend. She does ask that people call ahead for larger groups (6+).

Where do I begin? I was overcharged by $7. It is hard to argue a check amount when you never received a check but only an amount verbally. The price on the menu is not what the owner charges you when she tells verbally you how much you owe. The food was mediocre. Not amazing. The owner is the only woman working at this restaurant all the time…only one person no matter how busy it gets. There were only three tables occupied, including me but I was finished, when a woman came in and wanted to order food to go. The owner turned her away and said we don’t have To Go at this time unless you want to wait 1 hour. My food at this restaurant was actually served in a reasonable amount of time. It was easy because the veggie combo is pre-made and just sitting in pots staying warm. The beef tibbs I ordered was easily cooked in 15 minutes. I paid $35.64 for what you see on my plate…kinda expensive Lastly, the awaze sauce was amazing. Thanx for reading.

Damn good food. Unsuspecting hole in the wall place. The chef, owner, host (she is the one person) was fantastic. We ordered the chicken drumsticks, gored-gored, beef tibs and vegetarian for 2 between the 4 of us plus a bottle of Tej. Portions were fantastic and we even got a to go box. Highly recommended.

Another amazing day in Colorado with my girls. Ended on a humbling note eating at a local Ethiopian restaurant, which happened to be the best meal of the trip. The owner left Ethiopia in the 70s and landed in Denver in the 90s where she single handedly runs her restaurant. She’s the chef, server, cleans tables and takes payment with absolutely no help. She was the kindest soul. Photos of the younger her were posted and she was absolutely gorgeous, and still just as lovely. If you’re ever in Denver check out Queen of Sheba, reservations required. One of the best meals I have ever had. No forks or spoons allowed, as would be an insult and we were happy to oblige. Be prepared to wait patiently with a smile and you will be rewarded with the most authentic food you have ever tasted and leave with a warm heart and fully belly❤️

Amazing food and service. The owners go out of their way to make sure you eat well, especially the cook! They have table and floor seating, just call ahead and ask them.

Three of us shared the meat combo for two. It was more than enough for us and we couldn’t finish it! The spice tea was very good. The food was delicious and very fresh. The lady who cooks was really sweet, this is real home cooking and we felt like we were in her home. A very busy place, reservations are recommended.

Finally tried the Ethiopian food at Queen of Sheba on E Colfax — and what a treasure this spot is! The owner is a lovely lady who is also your bartender, server, and cook in this cozy little spot that feels like you’re eating in her home dining room. All the meats are delicious, as well as the lentils and potatoes for my vegetarian folks!

Amazing experience. Do not judge a book by its cover in this one. The chef/owner/cashier/sole employee prepared the “dinner for 2” for us and it was superb. Some of the best food I have had in a very long time.

Absolutely incredible meal. We shared the meal for 4 between 3 of us and we are definitely stuffed but we managed it. The owner was such a wonderful person and we loved chatting with her.
