Goat stew
Michelle Y.

We were so excited to finally try this new restaurant in have been waiting for them to open up. We walked in and the owners were so welcoming. It was our first time trying African food, and they were so kindly explaining everything to us. They shared that this restaurant is more of a grab and go kind of restaurant. They have a few tables inside to sit and enjoy the meal. They have a buffet style entrée where you can get a protein, rice or swallow and decide. We decided to just get two entrées. First off the goat curry was absolutely delicious. The goat meat was tender, and the stew was so flavorful. I honestly can't stop thinking about it. I was most excited to try the fufu. We got the pounded yam and the plantain fufu. I personally preferred the pounded yam because it had more of a bite to it. The combination of the pounded yam and the goats stew was immaculate. The jollof was really flavorful and also paired really well with the stew. My only thing is that the rice was really dry and some of the clumped up into hard balls. It could also be because we went later in the night. Overall, I really enjoyed the food here. And I'm excited to go back and try out the other dishes.

Called to place an order for pick up and was informed to order once on-site. Ambiance is nice and clean with light decor. First, this is a Ghanaian restaurant. I will begin with the jolloff rice, very dry and clumpy, it didn't taste good at all. Think of rice, tomato sauce and paste that's it, no flavor or seasoning. The jerk chicken is oven made in a jerk sauce, it was passable but could've tasted better. The plantains were good. I may give this restaurant a second chance but order different dishes.

I got this random craving for African food, not having ever tried African food before. No, I'm not…read morepregnant. I did some research and found pretty good reviews about this place. I had a stressful workday so I decided to reward myself with some delivery for a late lunch. I ordered via Postmates and it arrived 5 minutes sooner than originally estimated. The food was still hot when it arrived. Jollof Rice with Fish: The rice with the tomato stew was just the flavor profile I was craving. The inside of the meaty fish was cooked perfectly. However, the outside had lost its crispiness by the time I started eating probably because of the steam generated in the container. I do wish I had more of that stewed tomato sauce as well. It was just a lot of rice and meat with not enough stew. They serve a portion that is big enough for two to share. I ate half and saved the other half for later. Pepper Soup with Goat: The pepper soup is spicy! Not just "pepper spicy," but also "spices spicy." There was plenty of goat and a lot of tendon-y, tender pieces which I love! There was nothing else in the soup but goat, a pepper, and spices. It is definitely more liquid like a soup, not a stew like I was expecting. Still delicious. I also ate the rest of this as another meal. I just threw some kale and corn in it to make it more of a meal. I would definitely get this again. Hopefully the next time I am craving this, it will be safe to dine in again.

The food was delicious and spicy. The staff were kind and quick. I went here twice in one week…read moreduring my visit to the area.

Hidden gem! Food:…read moredelicious! Tried the sambusa as an app, and when I was undecided between the two options, owner suggested to get one of each since dish comes with two; preferred beef over lentils, but both good; spicy sauce on plate was delightful! As an entree, had the Sheba combo with spicy beef, spicy lamb, eggplant, cabbage with carrots; served with house salad and fresh injera; all delicious, meats were tender and nicely portioned so easy to eat with bites of injera. Ambiance: low frills, clean tables and clean bathrooms Service: friendly and fast; owner recommended the iced Ethiopian tea mixed half and half with lemonade which was refreshing and not too sweet.

While the menus at Ethiopian restaurants tend to be somewhat similar, Sheba stood out to me in some…read moregood ways. One way that I always like is seeing something on the menu I rarely see at other Ethiopian restaurants. That was their Chicken and Spinach option. The other was, for lack of a better term, a "lightness" to some of the entrees. This was particularly true of the meat dishes. While always tasty,they sometimes have a heavier, or oilier taste to them. The dishes here, in particular the chicken dishes, tasted lighter and fresher. The atmosphere here is a bit quieter, we had great service, and overall it was a very enjoyable experience.
