The Scene – Queen of Sheba is classier than the average 10th Avenue storefront, with a full bar, ochre walls and caring, informed servers. A flamboyant mix of Broadway actor-types and African natives gather at the traditional African tables, which look like giant baskets planted on fireplugs. – – The Food – The flavors of Ethiopian cuisine have no counterpart in American cooking: If you like spongy buckwheat pancakes, you'll flip for injera, the ubiquitous bread used to grab bites. Almost everything else is stewed in or spiked with berbere, a peppery, brick-colored…

Not that great. Disappointed
by CSMobileUser at Citysearch
I've been to several ethiopian restaurants in NYC and this is one that i was not happy about. The food itself is a little below average. Service is also Disappointing. Non Ethiopians may think this is great tasting food, but i speak for several ethiopians when i say that the food is mediocre. The place is soo small, the tables are placed soo close. Music is good .

This place is not to be missed..

This is one of the best finds in New York. It's so fun to eat here with a group of friends so you can sample the most from the delicious menu. They really know how to bring out the flavor of the food in season. I had the dabo my appetizer, which was really good. My main course was the beef , which was good, but wasn't one of the best dishes I've ever had. This place is not to be missed!
- Pros: food,ambiance

Best Ethiopian Restaurant in New York
by lblroberts at Citysearch
I love eating at exotic places. Queen of Sheba is the best Ethiopian Restaurant in New York. The spices they use are savory and tasty. I'm a vegitarian and sometimes I like to shake it up. Queen of Sheba really exited my taste buds. The scene is colorful and the music in the background makes you feel like you're somewhere other than New York. They sat me right away and the service was alright. Nice ambiance and 2 seconds away from Time Square. I came right after a play and I will come again. Cheers to Queen of Sheba Ethiopian Restaurant. I'd try the plate with an assortmant of different vegetarian meals like the garbanzo beans and the collard greens! Yummy. The spongy crepe is a little weird at first but goes great with the meal.
- Pros: Beats boring traditional tasting meals
- Cons: None that I can think of
