    Veggie combo for 2

    Great food. Vegan veggie combo was delicious. Quick service. Lovely area nearby parks.

    2 veggie combos, tibs, meat combo

    Updating my review for delivery through UberEats. Their food is just as good delivered. Everything comes super fast and is still very fresh when it arrives (important when you're ordering raw beef!) The most recent time we ordered we got two veggie combos (couldn't choose, needed all of them), a meat combo with doro wat and alitcha wat, and the lega tibs. Everything super delicious as always. The kitfo serving is quite large (get the one with the cheese.) My favorite veggie dishes are probably the gomen (collard greens), messir wat (lentils in berbere spice) and the potato dish that comes with green beans. Kitfo and tibs are always good, and although chicken is normally a lesser protein in stews the doro wat is just so good (plus it comes with an egg!) Definitely would recommend adding this place into your delivery rotation!

    My favorite thing about Queen Sheba, beyond the generous portions, is the beautiful artwork lining the walls and the ambience. The decor and vibe here is awesome. We ordered the veggie combo for two, and couldn't finish everything. The shiro wot and misir wot were particularly flavorful.

    Mixed vegetarian platter with key wat (beef stew).

    My favorite Ethiopian food in Montreal which was introduced to me by Ethiopian friends.

    Solid Ethiopian fare. The Yetsom Beyaynetu for 2 was the perfect blast of aroma and spice we were looking for. Vegetarian options are plentiful. We've tried many good and bad Ethiopian restaurants in the US and this one can hold its own with the best. Service was fine. Parking might be tough, but if you troll the side streets it's okay. Highly recommended.

    First time trying Ethiopian food and I'm in love people!!! It was so good! I mean, I'm writing this review and all I want to do is get in my car and drive back there to eat their food again. Since it's my first time experiencing this type of cuisine, I can't compare. But my tastebuds and gluttonous soul were sooooo happy lol! Everything was tasty. My cousin that loves Ethiopian food and tried all of the Ethiopian restaurants here and elsewhere said that this is a very very good place. The service and ambiance of this place makes it all the better. They have a Groupon deal and as soon as I got home, I bought the deal. I can not wait to come back!

    I don't eat ethiopian food often, but when I do I never regret it. This is food best enjoyed in a group for sure. I shared a big combination platter with a friend - we picked out 2 meats and 2 veggie stews. I was a bit limited because I'm not very tolerant of spicy foods but there were still some less spicy ones on the menu. everything came out very nicely displayed on some injera. My god, I love that stuff...it's like crepes on steroids. wonderfully spongy like a thin crumpet, but funky and tangy from the fermentation. It sops up all the juicy stews amazingly. We got an extra basket because we were pigs and couldn't stop eating. The yellow chickpea stew was quite delicious. We also got a whole other dish - the raw meat which was served with some stewed greens and some cheese. Wow...this was like a heavily spiced tartare and it was again delicious. I can't wait until the next time we go back to indulge in this great food.

    This was my first time trying ethiopian food and it did not fail to impress me. My friends and I got the tasting platter which comprised of 2 main dishes + one braised beef and 5 different types of vegetables. You had to get ready to eat with your hands, which makes the experience quite unique as well! We also got a bottle of wine. The price of the platter and the wine was very reasonable.

    for two

    really delicious plate for two lovely servers they have ethiopian stained glass on the walls for purchase!

    Ordered via Uber Eats. Had a vegetarian combo (green beans, potatoes, and cabbage) as well as a meat combo (minced beef and doro wat), with spicy lamb. Food was solid for Montréal.

Hands-down the best thing I've eaten all year. My friends ordered sampler platters, but I asked our server for a recommendation--and she nailed it with the lamb stew. Sure, you could play it safe with a sampler... but why not trust the locals? When in Ethiopia, eat the lamb stew. You can thank me later.

    It's by the hotel door entrance, enter the left door…read more It's fancier and has a red hue inside the dining area. May be the fanciest Ethiopian restaurant we have ever been to so far. One side of the menu is in French, flip it over for the English menu. We got a single platter vegan and meat (less the file mignon tartare) and a single platter vegan, veggie sambusa and a mango salad. C$103.27 The sampler was good, it comprised of a tomato salad, cooked bean and broccoli, chick pea and eggplant with crispy injera and normal injera. The injera crisps up nicely. The mango salad is okay, although not much mango pieces. The veggie sambusa is so-so, the dough is quite dense and heavy. The mango dip or sauce is good though. The Doro wat is one drum and a hard boiled egg. The Berbere sauce is good. The beets, spinach, cabbage, potato and carrot, yellow lentil, red lentil, salad, lamb, all were rather bland and nothing special. Everything tasted flat to us. The portions are small for the vegan, but I can't say anything was good enough to wish for of at all. The starter or apps was good, the main dishes for my vegan wasn't good. The only decent meat was the chicken. Service here is good. Expensive for what you get. Flavors aren't as good as expected either.

We arrived just as they were opening, so there was a bit of a wait, but we came prepared with wine and good company, so it was no issue, and SO worth it! The food was delicious. As a newbie to this cuisine, my side of the table ordered the mild dishes, and honestly, I can't wait to go back and try some of the spicier choices. Will visit again soon!

    Always, always, the best food on earth! These are some of my favourite dishes ever!!! From the…read moresucculent beetroot salad to the homemade cheese to the sultry spiced lentils; I'd eat this luxurious and mouthwatering food everyday for the rest of my life if I could and I'd still look like a hot snack. This resto is like a one-way ticket to Addis Ababa to have dinner with Mulatu Astatke and the Queen of Sheba. We eat our feast along the Blue Nile and listen to Yekermo Saw on repeat!! Then we are served the ancient and elaborate coffee ceremony. I see the Lion of Zion ! blessings of the Almighty unto thee in the name of the One and Celestial. Legend has it that the fabled lost Ark of the Covenant is in Ethiopia and with one bite ... it'll be all up in your mouth! Seriously, you will be talking directly to G-d her/him/it -self when you eat this food. As you saunter into the deliciously holy temple that is East Africa Restaurant you'll be ensconced in a warming red glow and a most enchanting scent which will undoubtedly transport you to a faraway spice market somewhere along the Eastern Rift Valley at the cradle of civilisation in the Horn of Africa. We are all African. We all come from Africa. Our ancestors were all borne into being ... right here in Africa. As you take your seat you will melt through space and time. This is the culminating point of the Spice Route. This is the terminus of the spice trade. This is where all things delicious come to be eaten. This is the sanctum sanctorum; the holy of holies, where the magic happens. Ethiopian cuisine is probably my favourite food in the entire world. This is an historic account of true fusion; ancient fusion. This is where spices from the four corners of the world reach their scrumptious confluence. This is the meeting point of global flavour. The amazing Jewish Ethiopian/Eritrean mom and pop dynamic duo who run the show here are some of the best people in the world and they are the proverbial mom and pop of all humanity. Mmmm scrumptious and delectable humanity. I always order my vegetarian platter. This comes with a beautiful stew of root vegetables like carrots, potatoes and turnips simmered to perfection in a sort of "curry" sauce. There are also two kinds of lentils on this platter; one oh so sumptuously flavoured savoury version and a more piquant spiced version. There is a beautiful tomato salad that'll knock your socks off. Then the spinach; I don't know what they do to that spinach but it's the best I've ever tasted. All of this is served on a pillowy soft and spongy sourdough-leavened flatbread called Injera; somewhat similar to a crêpe. You absolutely must order the beetroot salad; you've never had beets like this before. They also make a special Ethiopian cheese but if you're a keener you'll order it a day in advance because it goes fast. Finish your meal with Ethiopian tea or coffee. This is the best coffee you'll have at any restaurant like this. The tea is beautifully flavoured with a delicious and special African cinnamon. Wow, you can almost see the ancient ruins of Lalibela in the distance. Is that a civet stalking some prey? No, is it a gazelle or kudu? Yes, folks, rediscover your African roots here; you'll remember your ancient heritage with that first mouthful of glory and it only gets better. Humans became human beings in Africa and through Africa we will once again rediscover our humanity. Remember at the end of your day and at the end of each meal that countless men, women and children across the African continent lack the bare minimum of necessities for survival; abject poverty, malnourishment, drought, famine and starvation are the reality for so many people. Whilst this may seem inconceivably unfathomable to some of us living in Western opulence ... it is sadly all too true. Instead of buying materialistic Christmas gifts this year ... think about making a charitable donation to the CHF -- Canadian Hunger Foundation -- they have been ceaselessly engaged in the fight against poverty, inequality and hunger across the globe for the last fifty years. Don't buy some empty bauble, toy or iThing this season ... instead give the gift of a dairy cow, goat or vegetable garden to a family in dire need. Enjoy.
