Queen of Sheba in Camden

Persona principal este negocio familiar es una maravilla una pequeña joya si te gusta Las camareras son informativas sobre lo que es la comida y el vino de miel es tan encantador y del lado indígena en oposición a alguna novedad barata Me encantaría que un caballero guapo que me acompañase tuviera el papel de ternera que es una especie de remix africano de serpiente Tata En cuanto a la cerveza, la auténtica calle George es muy crujiente y va muy bien con la comida, así como por supuesto el vino de miel tampoco ninguno por derecho propio como Tej Todo se trataba de la mezcla sutil de sabores y los guisantes amarillos partidos eran tan buenos. No puedo quitármelos de la cabeza incluso cuando estoy conduciendo por la ciudad en mi Volkswagen. Me encanta y volverá en Nochebuena. No puedo esperar francamente porque es muy bueno. Sólo necesito más básicamente adictivo. Ni yo digo más acerca de una encantadora empresa familiar amigable de la industria artesanal Gracias, no solo la gente del restaurante, sino también Etiopía están inventando una cocina tan maravillosa

Bueno, debo decir que este es un restaurante maravilloso y he estado en bastantes etíopes en mi tiempo. No es mi favorito pero está cerca. Cocina totalmente auténtica y eso es un buen comienzo. Siempre voy por la carne cruda picada servida con una verdadera variedad de platos de verduras, incluyendo chiles rellenos. Tuve uno el otro día relleno de carne cruda fue absolutamente increíble. Tenía otro relleno de requesón y tomate que era igual de brillante. También tomé unas nueve cervezas etíopes, muy bonitas en realidad debo decir, aunque prefiero el Tej, ya que me encanta su vino a base de miel, aunque siento que podría haber sido un poco más fuerte. Fue más fuerte en otra ocasión, así que se trata de cuánto tiempo ha estado fermentando. Me lo dijo mi camarera y copropietario. Place es una propuesta atractiva y se ve muy bien, así que también estoy felicitando la naturaleza estética de este hallazgo absolutamente fabuloso. Incluso recibí una lección de historia sobre la vida y los tiempos de la Reina de Saba y el significado de cómo el restaurante recibió el nombre y me pareció tan fascinante. He estado estudiando el linaje de la reina de Saba desde entonces. Me voy de nuevo con una familia de seis miembros en 17 días y, francamente, estoy muy emocionado con todo. Espero que el Tej haya estado fermentando durante más tiempo que la última vez, ya que me gusta tener esa fiebre esencial por la cabeza en el Mead.

Delicious food and very friendly staff, top spot in Kentish Town, will be back again!

Had some lovely food, which I had never had before, and the service was excellent and very welcoming

What an amazing experience we had amazing food the staff were so friendly and very kind I had the most amazing time their thank you for the most welcoming atmosphere.

Amazing food . Been here with my family and we all absolutely love it! We can not wait to come back. Keep up the great work!

Some of the best coffee I've had is here. The Ethiopian coffee ceremony is such a rich and relaxing experience and the food is delicious! Sophia is not just very kind, attentive but also living up to her name! She is very knowledgeable and she can tell you a lot about history and culture. The interior is full of interesting stuff like Ethiopian crosses and many other Ethiopian traditional stuff. The atmosphere is very relaxing, especially when they light up the frankincense- that's one of my favourite parts!

The food, service, atmosphere… everything was perfect. Really friendly staff and the food portion sizes were excellent. Without a doubt will come back here. First time trying Ethiopian food and left curious to try the whole menu.

The injera is so aromatic, light and fluffy, whatever they season it with delicious. They have a wide variety of accompaniments to go with the injera and their portions are very generous. It’s a quaint little restaurant with great service.

We've been going to this restaurant for years (we have photos of a celebration in 2003!). It's still run by the same family and it's still excellent.

One of the best, delicious food.

Authentic Ethiopian food! Loved it

Sofia makes all guests feel extremely welcome, the food is amazing, the service is outstanding and the atmosphere is great. This place is the best and reasonably priced for the delicious food. Helen

Cannot recommend this place enough – the staff were all super friendly and accommodating and the food and drink was outstanding. Particularly recommend the doro & ingudai (a delicious chicken and mushroom dish) and the St George lager! The portions are also generous – enough for lunch tomorrow. 😍

Deliiiiiiicious food and super friendly staff! Thank you very much for having us. See you soon!

From traveling to four different European countries, this has to be the best ethiopian food I have tried. Specifically the Kitfo is flavorful and delicious. they are very friendly top notch

Vine aquí con mi clase de tercer año para su tema Etiopía en la escuela y les ENCANTÓ! El personal era muy servicial, ofreciendo tocar música tradicional etíope, contarnos sobre las obras de arte y tradiciones, y ordenar algunos de los menús de comida para los comensales exigentes. Todo era delicioso, generoso tamaño de porción y gran variedad de platos. Sin duda recomiendo!

Muy buen restaurante. La comida es tan deliciosa y auténtica. También el servicio es muy agradable. Vale la pena ir allí.

Sabrosa y auténtica comida etíope. Restaurante de barrio muy relajado y casual. Servicio amable. Puedo recomendar.

Where do I begin. Lovely restaurant amazing food, good service. The interior is super cozy and intimate. The food is amazing and authentic honestly just go straight in for a platter. The platter feeds 2-3 people I would say 3 people as we had to take away the rest but thoroughly enjoyed it the next day for lunch. There are options for everyone, gluten free, vegan, veggie and of course non veg. Sofia and Hana are lovely hosts super friendly. Tej is a must order - fermented honey wine. I cannot recommend this place enough amazing amazing amazing!

best misir wot and great vegan selection. highly recommend

Our first experience of an Ethiopian restaurant, and we weren't disappointed. The food was amazing with so many different tastes and the staff were friendly and helpful. A great experience.

Our first time at an Ethiopian restaurant and we definitely weren't disappointed. The food was delicious and the service was friendly. All in all a lovely experience. Thank you

The kindest staff they delivered the best customer service ! Great food! Great atmosphere. You will not be disappointed!

Loved it! Very reasonably priced too. I'll be back for sure

Amazing! I can’t wait to come back. I went with a friend who used to live in Ethiopia and we had the best time. Super authentic, amazing food, amazing staff. Thank you 🤍

Amazing food and the family is so sweet. Had a great experience.

Nice enough food to go and try something different.

We have eaten from this restaurant a number of times and we have never been disappointed! Eating in or take away the food is always very delicious. Eating in, I strongly recommend the Spanish Rioja wines. We had a sharing platter with 4 of us, and 2 additional dishes: fish with vegetables and chicken with mushrooms. It's really worth having a coffee after dinner, served in the traditional Ethiopian manner with some frankincense burning on the side. You won't be disappointed! And don't forget, you normally eat with your hands and thus, no cutlery.

We were a group of 13 including 5 vegetarians so we had 3 meat and veggie platters and 2 veggie platters. Both with Injera bread. Everyone said the food was good and the service friendly.

Very arabic food Yemeni restaurant with all appetizer Arabic appetiser the food is delicious the service is excellent

I appreciate this might be what traditional Ethiopian places look like; however, the seating in the chairs is very old and uncomfortable. We had a table of 6 people, and it was very tight. We ordered the 2 platters for £45 plus some additional things, which is the most extortionist price for what you get. The pancakes were very sour, and there weren’t many other ingredients; mainly, you get filled up on the pancake. £166 for 6 people was not worth it for us

Decent food, slow service, dilapidated .. but still good value for money.

one of the best food experiences in London and that's saying something

The food was okay but chicken was smelling bad. When informed to owner he said might we have tried some other mandi before.there were no proper lights we even couldn’t take our pictures properly And kunafaaa. ……..Was extremely bad and hard cheesy .

This is a place where I used to go very often when living in London. Went back recently and although the place has changed at all and the food is still good, it did not feel the same. The service was OK and looked less homey. Gored gored and kitfo are still top.

The food is unbeatable, atmosphere is lovely, service is impeccabl, lovely staff

It was my first time trying this cuisine & I was thrilled of the great taste of the dishes they served. 💯 recommended or else you're missing out

The most divine food and lovely friendly service in an atmospheric restaurant

A beautiful place 😍 we had a lovely dinner here, I've been wanting to try Ethiopian food and I'm glad I did here! The injera was amazing! So many riche flavours and the staff were lovely

Food was Fantastic - absolute Flavours! Generous Portions, we shared the £45 platter between 2 and got a prawn dish. (prawns were very fresh, crunch and large - and a good portion size) Ended up coming home with 3 containers of food (we are big eaters so we did our best but could barely finish it all). Was thoroughly enjoyed for Lunch the following day. Staff are extremely friendly and accomodating. Bill came to just under £75 including 12.5% service charge, this was great value for the experience and delicious fresh food. Only downfall was that the Honey Wine was out of stock! :( Will be going again, highly recommend!

Lovely staff and cosy restaurant feel, most dishes are on the same theme with various spiced meat sauces served on a traditional bread/pancake. Whilst tasty I was expecting the flavours to be more fragrant if I’m honest.

It’s like being transported to Ethiopia!! Such amazing food at great value. Perfect for group meals out. It’s a very laidback atmosphere and chill vibes, yet the servers still manage to be very informative and give great suggestions. Fully recommend the mixed selection, it’s so full of flavour and taste. Will definitely be back to this gem.

Amazing spot...one of my favorite restaurants in London!

Very nice experience, good food , served in a traditional way

Amazing Ethiopian restaurant. Wonderful staff and great atmosphere. Coming back.

Food was spectacular and decor splendid. Loved everything about it.

Lovely little restaurant. We had the Queen of Sheba veggie platter. We were so full afterwards 🤣 Would highly recommend.

went with family yesterday evening, and the food, the atmosphere was 10/10

My first time coming here and I will be back! The service was great and the food was delicious. The decor was also beautiful

Lovely Etheopian food, run by an equally lovely family. We enjoyed it very much

The food is probably the best Ethiopian I’ve had (including what I’ve tried in Canada and Spain). The shrimp dish is to die for. The local beers are fantastic. Service is slow, but going with the local culture of just slowing down and being in the mood. 🚽 🚨 needs a renovation.

What amazing food, and warm friendly hosts. I totally recommend the mind-blowing fish goulash, tender white chunks of cod floating in a savory tomato sauce. Or the chicken with creamy mushroom sauce. Nice wines too. People told me this was the best Ethiopian restaurant in London so we tried it with friends. I liked the food so much I ordered another cod and chicken to take home for Sunday. Nice rustic decor with tasteful pieces of African art. Enjoy!

My husband and I were going to a concert at the O2 and wanted to find somewhere nearby to eat. I found the Queen of Sheba on the map and thought it would be nice to try Ethiopian food for the first time. We ordered an Ethiopian beer and a bottle of wine, a bargain at £15. We shared a three meat dish, with a mushroom side and a tomato salad, served with injera bread, and all eaten with your fingers. It was all cooked beautifully and was very tasty, spiced but not too hot. We were both satisfied and full. The service was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back next time we are going to The O2.

Very tasty food and very friendly staff

I have been here to eat with my partner and/or friends so many time I can't even count them and it has never disappointed us. Definitely one of the best Ethiopian I have ever had. The place is also extremely cute and cosy and the waiters friendly. Highly recommended!

Fantastic dining experience. With food so tasty that will be an excellent entry point to the culture. Staff feels like family, and the food tastes like a good wholesome home cooked meal. staff who aren't too pushy with the menu and will happily walk you through their options as a complete beginner. Even though this was recommended through friends. You can see the local impact of the community who visit this place. Do make a reservation just in case during late hours.

This place is amazing! Great food, I have never eaten Ethiopian food and this was absolutely fantastic! The staff is so kind and sweet and the place is so beautiful! I love all the things on the walls!

A lovely Ethiopian restaurant with good service and good food. A great experience if you're not familiar with the dishes. Enjoy 😊

Great vegetarian option. Privately run. Service slow at times. But what's the rush anyway. Enjoy sharing with friends. Authentic Ethiopian food.

I've been going there for 20 years. Sometimes the food is excellent. Sometimes it's fabulous. When people ask what makes London great, I point them to the Queen of Sheba.

I have been here now twice and I really like it. Beside the experience in itself (Ethiopian cusine) you get great staff and fast service. Will come again!!!! Ps I recommend taking no more than one main per person (the portions are big)

Absolutely delicious food and the staff were great at showing us the ropes of Ethiopian food! Will be returning very soon 😁

Amazing food and people, great experience overall. Definatly I am going to come back

This is first place I have tried Ethiopia food, and I just fell in love with it. My go-to dishes are Doro goulash. I have also tried and love Doro & ingudai, Yebeg we't, samoas and ingudai tibs. I have been in this place multiple times. I am not giving it 5 stars because just because the food is not always consistent. And it's hard to book a table for dinner. But it not going to stop me from going there again 😋

This place is amazing I would eat there every week if I could! Amazing food and amazing service

Great service and cosy restaurant but I don't think Ethiopean cuisine is for me. I think the bread was really unpleasant to eat as it was very sour and soggy

My first time trying Ethiopian cuisine and it was honestly awesome. I'm going to need to come back and try some meat dishes (although the Vegan Platter was FANTASTIC) and the chef was super generous with our joint portion. Amazingly friendly staff, incredible atmosphere and above all, comforting food.

We had delicious dinner with my best Italian friend. The presentation and customer service was great 👍. I would like to go for more tastylicouse Ethiopian food again!

Three of us tried Ethiopian food for the first time at the Queen of Sheba this week and all thought it was delicious! The staff were helpful and friendly and definitely enhanced the experience. It’s a small quirky place with a laid back atmosphere. We’d love to return one day. Many thanks David

Definitely try and book a table if possible, it's not a big restaurant. Service was good and food was incredible. Everything was well seasoned and full of flavor. Make sure to get the true Ethopian food experience by eating with your hands and sharing the food with your friends/family.

Memorable family lunch. Everyone should try this delicious food. Exceeded our expectations - thank you!

Excellent restaurant! The staff are so friendly and accommodating. The food was absolute delicious, good-sized portions and great value. Overall a lovely experience- would recommend

Lovely local place with very reasonably priced food which fills you up. Staff are knowledgeable and show you how to serve the food up.

My husband and I visited for lunch yesterday. The welcome was warm, the service friendly - and the food absolutely superb. Their injera is among the lightest we have ever had.

Superb food, very ample portions, authentic environment. We shall definitely go back to enjoy the succulent food

This place is a real treasure, whether you need a regular injera fix or you're a newbie to Ethiopian food. I am the former, my guest is the latter and we both had a great time. I agree with other posters about the really warm customer service and trying the Ingudai. I would recommend the coffee ceremony at the end as its such an integral part of Ethiopian life. I can't wait for an excuse to go back.

I dropped my daughter off at the O2 for a gog and had 4 hours to kill so went off to look for a meal. I had in my mind to try a Thai place but passed the Queen of Sheba. Having worked in Ethiopia, I love Ethiopian food so could not pass up the chance to give it a go. They were busy but found me a table outside. I had the veggie Samosas which were nice but the main star was the Prawns and Ingudai. Beautifully cooked, flavoured and spiced. The injera was not too thick and the slightly sour taste complemented the creamy spiciness perfectly. Exquisite. Finished off with a pot of Ethiopian spiced tea, this was definitely worth driving a 200 mile round trip for! Staff were friendly and very welcoming.

Best Ethiopian ever. Absolutely worth the trip from Covent Garden to Kentish Town. Incredibly good customer service. Very warm and inviting environment.

Absolutely charming service from the chef/ proprietor's daughter, and it is obvious that the food is cooked with love and pride. Our lamb and yellow pea dishes were both delicious, and everything on the menu looked tempting. Not entirely sold on the bread (like a pancake) and the food could have been hotter as in temperature. But that might be a cultural thing- I think that the Greeks and others don't want stuff piping hot. We would definitely go again, and it would be mean not to give such a lovely and interesting place top marks.

What a find, looking for a restaurant close to the O2 forum Kentish Town, chose the Queen of Sheba as never eaten Ethiopian food. Great dishes, attentive hosts and lovely venue.

Friendly service and superb Ethiopian food. 3 of us together and we ordered the Meat & Veg sharing platter for £45. Super

Hadn't tried Ethiopian food before. Had good reviews so gave it a go. Good service. Nice atmosphere. Food was quick to come out. A bit too spicy for me, but you can ask for less spice if thats what you want. Enjoyable

This is a fabulous restaurant where a wonderfully generous welcoming host and waitresses serve exceptionally good, flavour packed food that will make you, and you taste buds dance with happiness on your way home. with excellent food. Yet again thank you to all, especially to...

My family loves Ethiopian food, and wanted to have some when staying in London on a city break. I found this restaurant, and despite the relatively long distance from our hotel on the South Bank, we decided it would be worth it. Boy, were we...

I’m reluctant to say how good this place is, because it small and I am tempted to keep it a secret! The food is authentic, tasty and fun, the staff are super friendly and informative. Recommend the pot of coffee, it’s theatre and good coffee.

Excellent food served quickly. Great staff, very friendly. Great to be able to experience new cuisine. Will definitely go again.

I visited the Queen of Sheba around 5 years ago and loved the food and service. Having moved back to the area we got takeaway on Friday and ordered the vegetarian/vegan platter which was delicious as it gives you the chance to try lots of...

Don't you just love to digg in with your hands.. To eat the most delious food. Wonderful sharing platers, with plenty of Ethiopian pancakes to fill this hungry belly. A must visit

came in today with my spouse, expectations were surpassed. Shoutout to the main man spicelord. coming back soon next time we'll leave a FAT tip

First time for me and my family having Etiopian food (or any African food really). The restaurant is cosy and I guess quite basic but it's clean and comfortable and very close to Kentish Town tube or 10 min stroll ffrom Tufnell Park. The owner...

I absolutely love Ethiopian, and this spot was perfect for the craving I was having. I came with friends, and we split a bottle of the house dry white wine (there's also a house medium-bodied white wine). We ordered a meat dish, a vegetarian dish...

The Queen of Sheba, aptly named since we felt like royal guests upon reception. The host was kind and helpful, explaining the different dishes after noticing that we were quizzickly pouring over the different options in the menu. The food itself was absolutely divine. Although the restaurant caters for omnivores and herbivores alike, we wanted to try their vegan offerings and were delighted by the range of options open to us. From lentil, to chickpeas, to potato all eating from the characteristic injera, or sourdough flatbread. We even tried the Ethiopian honey wine, which was pleasantly unlike any wine we had tasted before, both sweet and tart. The overall experience was highly memorable and at a relatively low cost, you cannot miss an experience with The Queen Of Sheba.

We had a fantastic meal at the Queen of Sheba. The food and the experience was just what needed - relaxed, genuine service and very tactile appealing to all our senses. Much recommend, it is a must!

He estado aquí con mi familia. He estado aquí con amigos. He estado aquí para una comida de oficina. Yo trabajo en Perivale, así que creo que eso dice algo sobre lo bueno que es este lugar, ¡viajar por todo Londres para comer con tus compañeros de equipo! !No es muy grande, así que tienes que reservar con antelación, pero vale la pena. La gente es muy agradable, el servicio fue excelente cada vez y la comida fue simplemente increíble. He estado unas cuantas veces y volveré a ir. Altamente recomendado.

No lo reservamos. . . acaba de entrar en una noche de lluvia. . . Era mi cumpleaños y quiero algo diferente. . . . Nunca lo intente antes por lo que fue muy curioso. . . Parece que estaba en el lugar correcto. . . El personal fue muy servicial y el propietario demostró pasión por la comida y explica en detalle. . . . Como chef, esto es para mí un gran signo de cuidado y amor por lo que hacen. . . La comida estaba deliciosa, bien presentada y disfrutamos mucho de la experiencia. . . . El precio también era correcto y esperamos la próxima vez! ! ! Nos recomienda mucho! ! !

Visited this lovely restaurant on a busy Saturday evening, but the main host who I think is the owner couldn’t have given us better service, going through his recommendations for us to order and give us brief history lessons on the food itself and its origins.
