First time trying this place. I was CRAVING Ethiopian food and have been for a while. I got the vegetable combination. Be warned!! The yellow stuff on this platter is SPICY!! There were quite a few things that were a little spicy on this plate but that yellow stuff had my eyes and nose running. The flavors are pretty good and the injera was really good. They give you a lot of it. I'd say for the price, it is absolutely worth it. That one plate could have easily fed two people. I wanted to try this place because of the raving reviews and it's close to my house. While it did not disappoint, there are other places in DFW that are better. read more

Sheba's Ethiopian Kitchen - Front - Ethiopian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I was very interested in Ethiopian cuisine, so I brought my family to Sheba's. The restaurant is very spacious, and you can seat yourself. There was a bit of a language barrier with the server, but she knew enough English to take our orders. We were looking to sample and were referred to order a combo platter. We chose three types of meats and vegetables. We were all surprised once the food was served; we had no eating utensils. Only bread (injera). We were excited to eat like kids again. All hands in. The food was terrific. The cook came by to ask us about our meal. She was informed that we were first-time visitors to the restaurant. It was an a It was a fantastic experience that I will try again. read more

AMAZING! Me & my friend wanted to try Ethiopian food for the first time. This was a GREAT choice. The place was rather empty but the service was top tier. The servers were very attentive, courteous and nice. We settled on buying one of the sharing entrees that came with 4 vegetables and 4 meats. We got the chicken, two different lambs and beef along with string beans, 2 types of lentils and greens. They make the food fresh so it's a bit of a wait but it was damn good and hot! Ambiance was very chill. Nice & laid back. It was a wonderful experience and will def say if this is your first time trying Ethiopian food or if you just want some I HIGHLY recommend this place! read more

Sheba's Ethiopian Kitchen - Ethiopian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

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! read more

I love the quality of food at this place. I almost always order the tibs (grilled meat, spices, onions) and the gomen (finally chopped greens with spices). Everything is fresh, which takes a minute to prepare, but is always worth the wait. The juices from these foods soak well into the spongy injera. I really also love the fact that I can bring in my gluten-free bestie and she can have their special injera too! read more

While the ambiance here is at best, minimal, don't let this gem slip by! The food and service more than make up for any shortcomings in the atmosphere. If you're new to Ethiopian cuisine bring a friend and order "The Best of Ethiopia." For roughly $40 you'll get more food than two can eat and you'll experience a variety of dishes. Just delicious every time! read more

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!! read more

Extra injera is only $1 for a whole one, their gomen is made from collard greens instead of spinach which makes it taste better and their yebeg (lamb) tibse is my favorite and comes with a ton of meat read more

Definitely cannot recommend this place enough - it's as authentic as it gets. The spices come through beautifully, and the menu is priced right. I would recommend calling ahead to check how busy the place is, but it was definitely worth the wait. Portions are generous. read more

First time here! My friend and I walked in. We're Kenyan & Nigerian but enjoy Ethiopian food. Since no waitress greeted us, we figured it was self seating so we sat down by the booths. Not too long after we sat down, we were waited on. The waitress had a somewhat cold demeanor but that was okay. As we waited for our food, a white & southeast asian couple came in. They were promptly greeted at the door with a smile and seated. What was funnier is they sat close to us and when they asked the waitress for salt, she immediately reached over and took the only salt from our table without asking or even saying "excuse me" to us hahah We'll brush this off but Sheba's- please do better. Customer service was a negative 5 for us. Only give it a 3 star because the food was fine & the place is clean. read more

Sheba's Ethiopian Kitchen - Ethiopian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I have been to Shebas Ethiopian kitchen quite a few times. I'm a regular of getting the Shebas select! Ethiopian good is full of flavor and regularly compared to Indian food because of the spiciness of both dishes. Shebas dishes are made with excellence! I absolutely love ordering their kitfo and yes I order Raw Kitfo! Yum! I also love the beef Tibs! It's very similar to beef kabobs and both dishes are full of flavor and spice! I truly enjoy the dishes because you definitely get the band for your buck! I normally have enough food to eat and indulge in later on. The reason why this restaurant lost a star is because of service. Sometimes the service is lacking! It can be very hit or miss! I recommend take out because they do make it very fast! Then you don't have to risk having the service but the food is worth the visit! read more

Kitfo was delicious, service was outstanding, and they were open late, even on thanksgiving. A lovely place, I can't wait to come back.

Service was good. The food poor to mediocre at best. We had aa large group there, but there was much disappointment.

Hands down my favorite Ethiopian restaurant in Dallas ! I actually discovered Ethiopian food through this restaurant years ago and have been a connoisseur since. They've recently gone under new management but are even better than before. One thing I love about this restaurant is that they allow you to try a variety of dishes through their combo platters. Most restaurants don't include the best selection on combo meals but this place proves other wrong. The food is always delicious and they have the best Doro wot ever. Please come here for the best of Ethiopian cuisine. read more

Simply put, it's all about the injera. Because the rest is somewhat or supposedly quizzical. For one, thou are supposed to like your mom's cooking only, or if you are lucky enough to go to a wedding and eat the best of both mothers cooking because one of them will try to impress the guests... Ok ok now back to the restaurant... the wait staff are always friendly and helpful. Give the place a chance, food may come late but it is one of the best tasting around Dallas. Enjoy. read more

I know some folks are gonna be like "wha?" when they see my rating, but stick with me. Y'all, I love Ethiopian food. It's DELICIOUS and I get to eat with my fingers thanks to injera bread. So imagine the power of my u-turn as I was driving down Forest headed to mass when I glanced and saw Sheba's. I'm not gonna lie, I'm kind of a snob after living in LA and eating in Little Ethiopia. ZOMG the food is the bomb on that strip and I have to say that although each place was a bit different than the next one on the strip, they all had one thing in common- GOD AWFUL customer service. Honestly, I've never been to an Ethiopian restaurant with what we consider great customer service in the US, so when I look up Ethiopian joints I only care about the quality of the food. Let me tell you that Yelpers were so right. The food was DELICIOUS and the honey wine was so on point. To be honest, I expected way worse customer service so I was pleased that the waitress really tried to help me understand what I was ordering. I loved her "are you sure" face regarding me wanting my Kitfo raw, but she was cool about it. I was pretty much left alone to eat and was checked on once, which is my preference, and thanks to the Yelp tips, I had my money ready immediately so I did not have to wait for them to come back to collect. Overall, I definitely dug Sheba's and will be coming back. Thanks Yelpers for the tips to make this experience pretty awesome. read more

Very flavorful and good portion size food and friendly staff. We will definitely come back! Don't be shy about asking for utensils. :)

This place came highly recommended, outside of the fact that Ethiopian food has always been consistently delicious, unfortunately, while the food tasted good, I had two complaints: 1. food was COLD, yes cold..., 2. The language barrier made it intensely difficult to communicate the cold food and other interests such as drinks and such. Not to mention, this is more of a club/bar spot for young guys. Unless you're keenly in tune with the culture and are less than 35, may not be the place I'd recommend... try Desta! read more

Very good food! The beef tibs I got were on point. The only thing is, the waitress went out of her way to make me and my friend feel unwelcomed. We are both white Americans and she very clearly did not want us in the restaurant. I noticed that she was very friendly with every other party that came into the restaurant (they were all Ethiopian), spending time at each of their tables talking and laughing with them. But with us, she was different. She made a face at my friend when he gave her his order. Then, she made herself very scarce. We had trouble getting basic service like water refills. I had to stare at her for a long time while she was hanging out, chatting with customers at the bar, before she finally came over. I mean like for 5-10 minutes I kept turning around a looking directly at her. She saw me each time but didn't care. When we were leaving, I thanked her and told her how much we enjoyed the food. She just said, "ok", then turned around and walked away. My friend and I were both polite and respectful, and there was no reason for her to treat us that way. I hate to label anyone as a racist, but this lady very clearly is one. I hope she learns that racism is wrong and that it's not nice to be hateful toward people. read more

I was introduced to Ethiopian food by way of a my dear friend of mine from Ethiopia her mother cooked it for us and then the second time we went here to eat. I must say this is as authentic as it can get! Plus the price is great, the atmosphere is relaxing, and the food is simply delicious! We are fond of the beef Tibs, the chicken, the lamb, the cabbage, the greens and of course their injera!! read more

Sheba's Ethiopian Kitchen - Ethiopian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

A must-visit for anyone who loves Ethiopian food. The servers are darling, and the food is to die for. I try to go there once a week. The best part is their Sheba Select offer, which includes 2 meats and 2 veggies for $15. It's enough food to feed 2 or 3 people, depending on how hungry everyone is. It's my first and only Ethiopian food experience, so I don't know if I'm doing it wrong because I always have to ask for extra injera. Oh, and their injera is AMAZING! If you order for take-away, they always include more than enough injera. Definitely worth putting on your regular restaurant rotation. read more

See picture: beautiful mix of veggies and tasty injera bread but somewhat lacking in meat for my platter. Flavors were a little hit and miss for me, but the place was friendly enough for me to visit again... but only 3/5 for now for the food. read more

Just wonderful! Delicious Doro Wat and Tibs with Gomen and lots of Injera. Te servers were kind, thoughtful and prompt. I've eaten at several other Ethiopian restaurants and this is by far the best for service, ambiance and fresh, tasty authentic food. We will be back soon. read more

I had never tried Ethiopian food until I went to Sheba's and now I sort of crave it all of the time. It's ridiculously cheap but the service does take a little while on non-peak hours. Very quiet, nice atmosphere. If you've never tried it before, go for it. You eat wit your hands and the dishes are all very unique. The flavor pallet and spices very singular, like Indian food but very distinct. The food is usually served on a injera, the spongy, huge flatbread with a few extra rolls to use to eat your food with. A bunch of cool sauces and vegetables usually accompany these dishes and all are worth a try. I ordered either the Menchet Abesh or the Kitfo, a ground beef dish that was fantastic with huge portions for the very low cost. The beef dishes and tibs were all delicious that I tried from my friends plates and they recommended the place to us. read more

First, thank you Yelp for helping me find this place. It was a quick drive my hotel, and the reviews convinced me it was worth the trip. It has been a bit since I've had Ethopian food. I certainly wouldn't call myself an expert or anything near that in this cuisine, but I enjoyed it. I went with the vegetarian combo (I've honestly never tried anything else at an Ethopian restaurant), and I wasn't disappointed. Service was prompt (I do agree with other reviewers that there is a bit of a language barrier for English speakers), and it was a tasty, reasonably priced meal. I love the way lentils fill you up, and the different flavors in the vegetarian combo can't be beat. I'm glad I found this place on my work trip, and I encourage others to give it a go. read more

My server went out of her way to get me internet access. I ordered their dark beer on draft, the vegetarian variety meal, and a cup of coffee, all for very cheap. There was a DJ who was setting up the restaurant for the night who was also very kind and introduced me to ethiopian music and dancing. Overall I would highly rate this place as the best ethiopian restaurant I have been to. read more

The food was good.

Buff! I'm seriously surprised by the rating of this place. I was not pleased with thr food whatsoever and it made me sick! Firstly, we arrived and waited in the lot for thirty minutes on a Sunday because they don't open until noon. When noon rolled around we continued to wait. We saw two other couples walk up to the locked doors and left after realizing it was fifteen after noon and the doors were still locked and open sign still off. I decided to call and asked if they were open today and the female on the phone said yes.. I instructed her to open the door. Ten more minutes later the Hubs pounded on the door.. They nonchalantly opened the door and didn't apologize. Strike one.. Of course we were the first patrons inside... After forty minutes of their posted open time and my full bladder I needed to.alleviate myself.. I found out that the janitor was still cleaning the bathroom.. BUMMER! Why aren't you prepared? Strike two.. We ordered ETHIOPIAN TEA after asking if they had it because not all ethiopia establishments have it. She assured us they had it.... she brought out a cup of hot water with cinnamon sprinkles and a lipton ice tea packet... Strike three.. I should be out right? But we ordered because we were starving and on our way back to the 'Port so we wanted something in our stomachs. We got the veggie platter and some spicy meat boneless thing cooked.medium. YUCK! The meat instantly made me sick to me stomach. It was tasteless and just had spice. I hate that *bleep*. I like flavor. The vegetable platter also left more to desire.. Strike and out! I left to go to the car while the hubs paid. Never again! One star because that's the lowest I can give. -A girl from the big city read more
