Sheba's Ethiopian Kitchen in Dallas - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We dine Friday, we order vegan combination, the food wasn’t fresh and tastes funny. Specially The Misir and Shiro wasn’t good. But the server and the place were good.

There are two wefram girls who tip themselves more money on you bill. Check out your account. These two women are very well known stealing money from customers.

Great food, came out quick. I’ve been to other Ethiopian restaurants where food took long time, but not this one. Will definitely come back again.

First timer. The food was fresh and came out quickly. Customer service wad great!

Excellent food and service. Had a large variety of Ethiopian dishes.

This was my first experience with Ethiopian dishes. I enjoyed the flavors, spices, and presentation. The best part was eating with your natural born utensils, your hands. The injera (pancake-like flatbread) is used to scoop the food to eat. This is a uber casual mom and pop atmosphere. You can watch sports near the bar area. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The portions are plentiful. This is a good place to meet up with friends and family to eat.

I ordered firfir and tibs but what I got was just injered with a hot of meat very disappointed o paid 45$ for 2 plates they got my order wrong and when I told them they said they where fixing it to only come bring back the same thing.

It's always a great experience when eating at Sheba's. The food is always very flavorful and made with passion. My favorite dish is the Spicy Lamb Juicy made extra juicy with an extra piece of Injera. It's a must try!! You will be delighted for sure!

The reviewers that say this place doesn’t want non-Ethiopians are full of it. 1) There are many many Eritreans there at all times so, learn the difference before you assert prejudice claims on a small business and it’s staff. 2) The waitresses were not born and raised in the US and therefore not bound by the customer service standards demanded by every cappuccino sipping Karen. English is like their 4th or 5th language!! You want some water, just ask for it. Nobody is alienating YOU and it surely is not so serious that you warrant slandering this woman’s business. They are shy but friendly to faces they know, just as they would be in their native land. Get over yourself and enjoy the food, which is AMAAAAAAZING by the way.

If 0 I can,b,c price was higher than around restaurant and food noon senses and costumers services not good environment with not good especially tables not cleaning am not recommended and not coming back.

I thought I'd give this place a second try. I had gone there a few years back. It was even more awful than the first time. First, they could not take the order over the phone due to a language barrier, and they had to ask someone who speaks English. Then, that person did not seem to understand what I was ordering right off their menu. I told them I couldn't eat string beans, and guess what? There were lots of string beans in my order. I have eaten at many Ethiopian restaurants and was extremely disappointed. After driving almost half an hour to get there, I walk in, and the two women (servers) at the bar just starred at me, and we're generally unfriendly. I had to flag one of the others down. They got my order wrong, and I was overcharged. I was ordering one thing, and they ended up charging me for two separate entrées I had not agreed to. I ended up wasting gas, time, and was exposed to a smokey smell ( I guess people smoke indoors), and they took forever to get me my order, and I had to keep asking. They said it would be ready in 20mins when I had called them. I was already on my way there. The food was cold, not much flavor, and seemed to have been just splattered on the Injera. There was not much meat in the other 'entrée' and I told the lady who charged me. I will never go there again. I would not advise anyone to go there given this 2nd awful experience. Save your time and money and go elsewhere. ***UPDATE*** I looked at my bank statement online a few days after this review and found that they decided to tack on an extra $10( unaccounted for on the receipt, all for themselves. I called my bank, and they were able to take care of everything. I had called this restaurant, and the woman in the phone wanted me to drive down there and had said that the waitresses might have charged extra.I also had a copy of my receipt so they were being fraudulent. I also realized that they overcharged me in the beginning by another $14 according to their menus online and at the restaurant. When I was at the restaurant and questioned this, they played ignorant and pretended to have difficulty with language and communicating. If you still decide to go there, my advice is: Check your receipt, keep it, and mind your bank account. The food quality and poor customer service were not worth it.

Here is the letter I sent to management: Hi, just out of curiosity, I would like to know: do you want to discourage non-Ethiopians from coming into your restaurant? If that is the case, I get it. You have your own small community, and you want to have an establishment for your community to hang out at. But, you should hang a sign on the outside of the door that says "no non-Ethiopians allowed" so that customers like myself don't have the unpleasant experience of being served by a waitress who very clearly doesn't want them there. If that's not the case, then let me tell you. The waitress that served me and my friend, an older lady, hated us. She gave my friend a dirty look when he placed his order, she went out of her way to avoid our table and keep our water cups empty, and, when we thanked her profusely before we left and told her how much we enjoyed the food, she just said "ok", then turned around abruptly and walked away. We were polite and respectful, and there was no reason for her to treat us that way. I noticed that she was very friendly - to every other party in the restaurant, who all happened to be Ethiopian. She spent time talking and laughing with every table in her section. Except for ours, of course. So, anyways, if you don't want non-Ethiopians in the restaurant, please just let me know so I don't make that mistake again in the future; and, I will help spread the word for you that non-Ethiopians are not welcome in your restaurant. Thank you.

It seems like this establishment wants to discourage non-Ethiopians from coming into their restaurant. I get it. They have their own small community, and want to have an establishment for their community to hang out at. But, they really should hang a sign on the outside of the door that says "no whites allowed" or maybe "no non-Ethiopians allowed" so that customers like myself don't have the unpleasant experience of being served by a waitress who very clearly doesn't want them there. Let me tell you: the waitress that served me and my friend, an older lady, hated us. She gave my friend a dirty look when he placed his order, she went out of her way to avoid our table and keep our water cups empty, and, when we thanked her profusely before we left and told her how much we enjoyed the food, she just said "ok", then turned around abruptly and walked away. We were polite and respectful, and there was no reason for her to treat us that way. I noticed that she was actually very friendly - to every other party in the restaurant, who all happened to be Ethiopian. She spent time talking and laughing with every table in her section. Except for ours, of course. So, anyways, if you don't want to be treated like dirt, stay away from this place. There's a couple of other Ethiopian places nearby that are great. You can try Yenat Guada, where the couple that owns the restaurant are super warm and friendly, and will often be the ones to serve you. Or, you can go to Arif, another great tasting restaurant. Actually, tbh, both the places I mentioned have better food than Sheba's. I strongly recommend that you stay away from the very not nice people at Sheba's.

Good food, amazing culture, beautiful people. Must try their food.

Trash, I wish the ladies weren’t so rude

I like it !good food and great service

Took too long for our order, and I think they have forgotten about it.

I’ve been going here for over 15 years. I love the comfort foods here and the fried fish is awesome! A family favorite whenever I’m in Dallas.

1st time customer I love the Food. will definitely go back and take my wife.

Deciding to step outside of our food comfort level and entertain our palette to something new and different my wife and I stopped in at Shebas with a friend. We ordered Ethiopian beer ( which was amazing) and a couple of appetizers to start off with. Sambusa - Seasoned lentils with Onions and jalepanos wrapped in pastry sheet and deep fried And Kitfo - Steak tartar served from selected lean ground beef seasoned with spiced butter and bird'd eye chili pepper (mitmita). My wife can’t eat overly spicy foods but was able to enjoy both appetizers (kind of apprehensive at 1st about eating raw meat but she found out during this that she loves Steak Tartar) After the appetizers I had the Dallas Special- Meat cubes marinated and sauteed with onions, jalapeno, and black peppers cooked medium rare. *Loved it! And my wife had the Short Ribs -Beef ribs seasoned with black pepper and special spices, grilled. The ribs were a little over cooked but very tasty and enjoyable. Our friend went all out and ordered the Best of Ethiopia Combination plate - Doro wot, kitfo, wiht a choice of Lamb and Beef tibs with house Vegetable This combination plate is huge and can easily feed three people so we all shared this. Everything on the combination plate was amazing even though I couldn’t tell what everything was I was eating just by site alone other than the Duro Wat & Steak Tartar. The only thing I didn’t try was the cabbage. Sheba’s is an excellent place to go eat and I highly recommend checking it out!!

Best Ethiopia and Eritrean food in dallas!

You don't need to travel to East Africa if you taste the Eritrean/ Ethiopian food at this Redtaurant with the best habesha hospitality. Love this place.

I got the veggie combo and did not enjoy it. It came out very quickly and looked like everything was premade at the beginning of the day. It basically came out like sides to main dishes. I’m used to Ethiopian food pretty much being made to order - even the veggie platters. Bottom of the tier for me.

place to test Ethiopian dishes 😋 good service 👌

I love the restaurant not only the their cuisines but their well-made artistic chairs on the right side.

Came at 12 today cuz it’s says they open at 12 on sundays and when I got there it’s closed waited 15 mins and still closed , fix yall time

Enjoyed my food here very much. Vegan options with the Vegetable Platter. 1 platter feeds two people with leftovers for the next day!

Test real Ethiopian dish at Sheba's. Great place 👌.

What an extraordinary experience that I had today at Sheba's. The service is absolutely superb and the owner makes you feel so appreciated immediately upon arrival. The food is a delicacy and it is an honor to be exposed to authentic, pure, wholesome, and healthy food. I just want to thank you so much Tsegay for owning a place like this and making our entire party happy during our entire dinner. We not only will be returning as frequent customers, but also recommending this establishment to others.

Food is ok but the service couldn't be worst. Expect 45 min to an hour for ur food to be served. And this is not on their busiest hour. The other time we were there we waited for 15min for the menu and we had to leave.

iwas Dine eat one day they give me out of my order and too much salt add Ooo my god

The food here is absolutely wonderful! I like to get the vegetarian combo. My only complaint: sometimes they don't have all the components of the meal, and rather than subbing it with more of the other options, it just gets left out, and I still pay for the same for less food.

Authentic and reasonably priced.

Shiro is good meat is big chank service is ok

This was my first time eating Ethiopian food and I'm not sure if what I picked was to my liking.

I was in the area and wanted to try something new. I decided to try Sheba's Ethiopian Food. I noticed that a lot of beautiful Ethiopian people were sitting around, talking, and enjoying themselves. I knew I was in the right place for authentic Ethiopian food!!! I was greeted by the bartender. She was very kind and assisted me with my order. I didn't want anything spicy (most items on tge menu are spicy). She recommended the beef tips. I declined because I eat that all the time at soul food restaurants. I decided to try the fried whole fish. Idk what kind of fish it was lol but it was really good. It wasn't too salty at all but very flavorful. My order came with a salad and bread. The salad was fresh. I ordered collard greens because I wanted to try the Ethiopian version. It was tasty. I could taste the garlic and other spices. Give it a try. I would recommend this restaurant. I observed what others ordered as I waited for my food. The servings are very large. At least 2-4 people can eat a plate of food (seriously). My boyfriend and I split my food. Affordable Prices!! *However, I did wait 40 mins for my order (fried whole fish takes time to cook) but it was worth the wait. I believe they play live music and have a DJ on weekends. Americans people, I would recommend this place. Enjoy!!!

Going to the Queen of Sheba was a horrible experience , the food was very disappointing and the place was very unsanitary. The food was not that traditional and small portions were given. It is very overpriced and the service was terrible. We went there for my birthday celebration with advanced reservations. After we arrived and ordered, a “ private event” started with a band and started playing extremely loud music. They did not tell us us ahead time of time, even with our advance reservations, or when we arrived. We requested the music to be turned down several times and they refused. We could not even hold a conversation and it gave me and my guests bad headaches. The restaurant should have closed down to host the private event instead of sticking us in a smaller area near the bathrooms. Do yourself a favor and don’t go to this restaurant unless you anted to be treated very poorly and disrespected.

So...I have been craving Ethiopian Food and Sheba's did not disappoint! I called in my order and 20 minutes later, my wonderful husband was coming through the door with what I've been JONESING for! As soon as I opened the box; I was swaddled like a wee babe by the inebriating scents of Berber Spices. Sheba's Selection offers your choice of 2 meats and 2 vegetables. I got the Lamb Tibs, Beef Wot, Collard Greens, and Lentils. The Lamb was tender and succulent from the slow simmered tomato sauce and spices. The Beef was loaded with spicy pieces of jalapeños, onions, and Rosemary. Both had me dreaming of the leftovers I was determined to have, so I could relive the joy of each morsel. The collard Greens were well seasoned and still had a little crunch which was a nice texture balance for the meal. The Lentils were spicy and full of life and flavor. But my FAVORITE was the Injera! There is something so satisfying about tearing pieces of tender injera and using it shepherd in the savory goodness that is Ethiopian Cuisine. In my opinion the fermentation of the Teff batter is what makes Injera so special. It lends a slight acidity to anything that has the privilege of being cloaked in the simple, naturally Gluten-Free "bread"(for lack of a better word). If your looking for Good, Authentic, Ethiopian Food, Sheba's is it! Go Check It Out!

I told you about oil, but you guys careless about the maker food especially more oil in at my order, please focus on about my health. It's not tasting by more oil. I can't eat, I throw at garbage, it's too much oil.

A fine place to meet up and eat. My wife and I met up with friends here and ate ourselves silly for 2 hours. Veg platter for me, tibs for my wife and my friend and half & half for his wife, Heineken on tap, great iced tea. Out the door for $100 - money well spent. The locals were spending a bit less, but we were putting on the dog. Top notch restaurant.

I am from Seattle, WA I do come often to Dallas, I love Sheba's restaurant . They serve delicious Ethiopian/Eritrean food.

I start by saying i have never had Ethiopian food before. Upon walking into the restaurant the smell is amazing, the waitresses were so nice and the food was so unbelievably tasteful. The prices are so reasonable and i would rather eat here than the fancy restaurants downtown.

Great Atmosphere! The food was amazing, flavorful, and overall an enjoyable experience!! A must try!😊😊😊😊😊

The worst place to dine, they don't evencheck on you, The so called manager Walk on by us don't even greet us,,we come from an other state and searched Ethiopian restaurant we found it we get in set by ourselves, they don't even wipes The table ,there were drops of food on the table, set there for 45 minutes,with My hungry wife and a toddler, finally we go out because we're too hungry , My worst experience ever in Ethiopian restaurant.

Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely Sheba Ethiopian kitchen in Dallas. I'm usually selective and always find some kind of drawback. In this case, from the staff to the food was Truly amazing!!! The veggie plate and greens w/beef ( goman basiga) is delicious. I've also had kittfo and other dishes everything was absolutly tasty. Indeed the best meal we had in Dallas. Highly recommend!

The vegetarian platter is great. A side we hadn’t had yet at any other Ethiopian restaurant is the green beens. They are fantastic!

One day my mom told me she had craving for fried fish and I was debating which ethiopan resturant to choose. I was a bit worried in the beginning, what if it doesn't work out . I went to sheba kitchen I ordered on the phone and the lady that took my order was professional and she gave me an estimate time of 30 minutes and it was ready within the time frame I am told . When I arrived at the restaurant the lady working there was very prompt and I didn't tell her my order she knew right away for that I tipped her, I was impressed by her attentiveness. Lets get to the good part the fried fish it was so delicious I ate it to the bone and my mom was happy with the food. You have earned life long customer. I just want to say thank you .

I really enjoyed eating here and am adding it to the favorites list. The food is delicious and the service is excellent.

I recommend their Fried fish plate. And also Derek Tibs. Its well cooked lamb / or beef grill.

A great dinner time with my family. Delicious food specially the Derek tibs ደረቅ ጥብስ good customer service. Thank you Sheba's!!!

Delicious food! Spicy and flavorful.

The best Ethiopian food in Dallas number one authentic Ethiopian food test specially key wot and derek tibs haha thanks !

The owner is very nice, food is on point, I love it.

Ohh, what a delicious food they have really very best place. "Keep it up"

Great habesha restaurant around Dallas area.

Good customer service good food

Fantastic place to experience Eritrean and Ethiopian dishes

The best Ethiopian restaurant i ever seen ,the food is delicious and very tasty and the service is perfect ,I wish if there is way to give them 10 stars 🌟 🌟 🌟🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Love the authentic taste of the food. Food cooked with love

Great food, and nice to have a covered outdoor option for eating.

Healthy and delicious food love it

Food quality is good! I have noticed that wearing of mask by the employees and customers is not followed according to the mandatory rules of the state.

Truly a fantastic experience. The family meals had generous portions. Two orders of the general "Taste of Ethiopia" shareable plates easily fed a group of four, with quite a bit leftover. It's not on the menu as far as I'm aware, but finishing off the meal with an order of the Buna (Ethiopian coffee for four) was great. They bring out a pot of strong, fresh, roasted coffee to share among those at the table. We sat there for about an hour after eating just enjoying each other's company while sipping the coffee. This restaurant has definitely made it onto my favorites list!

Great Restaurant with Fresh food.

So good and tasty Ethiopian food!

Its a best place for any one looking for good ethiopian food

I loveeeee this place. Food is amazing! 🤤

Food's good and service is adequate but if you only speak english, you're in for a frustrating evening.

My friends and I had a great time at Sheba’s!! Just a heads up for those who haven’t tried Ethiopian food before.. you eat with your hands. Unless you’re eating soup, of course. I haven’t asked, but I’m sure they would supply silverware for those who rather not use their fingers to eat. When our server learned that it was my birthday, she made coffee on the house! That was very sweet of her and the coffee was very, very good! Ask for some steamed milk on the side with your coffee! You won’t regret it!

Really enjoyed the food the price was fair for the amount of food a must go in Ethiopian cuisine.

I wish I could give this place 10 stars. I would visit Dallas just for this Ethiopian food.

Tasty Ethiopian comfort food in a simple ambience, and they have vegetarian options too. The waiters don't seem to understand English well though, and had difficulty understanding our order. Some training will certainly help. Great food experience overall.

My favorite Ethiopian and Eritrean restaurant ever excellent Service friendly stuffs.

GREAT VEGETARIAN LENTILS, KIND OF FUNNY ACTING WAITRESSES AGAINST BLACK WOMAN

The food is so good. Very well spiced and cooked to perfection! The atmosphere is fun and inviting. The staff is friendly. 10/20/19 sooooo good. Perfect!! My mouth is happy with balance of spice! Fun music and atmosphere!

I love these people. The food is great and service is wonderful...

Just love this place! The food and service are so exceptional.

Nice music and music videos on loop with no sounds at the bar. Except the bar has no space for your legs so you kinda sit behing the bar wall and counter. The food was full of beef and veggies with a good red sauce inside kind of a pan baked flour tortilla. Little greasy. But flavorful.

This place was amazing. The food was not only beautiful but good for the soul.

Incredible! The flavor of Ethiopian food is unique, and it is delicious.

That's a wonderful place I eat ribs and I like it

Great food. Service is a bit slow.

I just love the food here and the people are so nice and they have a female cook that is awesome

Great place great ethiopian food good service !!

Use to be one of my favorites, but lately the portions seem to be getting smaller.

By far my favorite Ethiopian restaurant in DFW. Their tibs & gored-gored are always on point. I usually order in advance since they are often packed.

Great food. Genuine. Wonderful meet and veggies. I love eat with my hands, and the typical bread helped a lot.

So good. My God. Love the ingerra here! Makes my tongue 💃

Good food when owner is here. She is the best cook . Waitress need training!!!!! Unprofessional. Rude!!!!

This is one of the best Ethiopian restaurants in the dfw metroplex. It looks nice on the inside and has VERY good food. I have never had injera bread that tastes as fresh as the bread here. Their food is seasoned very well and there is always a decent crowd here. This place would be food heaven if they served chicken tibs. Some of their waitresses don't seem to be the friendliest but I think that may be due to language barriers & it’s not enough to keep me from returning . All in all, nice ambience, great food, decent service... no complaints.

The waitresses are very friendly and the food is delicious.

Very excellent experience, very reasonable prices. Don't recommend it if you don't like eating with your hands though, otherwise, dig in! Dishes range between the $11 to $20 and don't expect appetizers (you really don't want them, as the dishes are very filling.) This is one of my top 5 favorite places to eat! 😋

Great food and great service. Have eaten here a few times and never a bad experience.

Sheba resturant the best resturant ever in DFW especially dlot.

Nice food as well as hospitality.

Loved it. We had a huge plate with beef, lamb, greens, beans, and dips, with a sort of bread (don't know the real name) to share that was amazing! I'll definetly go back!

Absolutely amazing. The food is always excellent. It takes a little while to get the food out but you can't rush quality. Please do yourself a favor and order the dry lamb tibs.

Food was great, service was nice, and atmosphere was warm.

Este es un restaurante familiar con una gran siguientes de muchas culturas. La comida es estupenda. Sabrosa pero no demasiado picante. Se sirve de una manera única con pan injera no cubiertos sólo para recoger bits de la fuente común. Estupenda manera de compartir una comida con amigos. El personal podría ser más amable, pero la comida lo compensa.
