History

Established in 2003.

Zion and her brother Eskinder opened the doors of Queen Sheba Ethiopian Restaurant on Howe Avenue in August of 2003. After two years of very successful business they moved to the current location on Broadway Avenue, Downtown Sacramento, not far from the Land Park area in December of 2005. Together, the siblings offer friendly and attentive service along with spicy, flavorful dishes that follow the traditions of Ethiopian dining. You can enjoy the famed honey wine, Tej, which Ethiopians often make themselves, with its unique taste that complements the spices in the food. Recently, we have added a line of specialty desserts and herb teas to further tantalize the tastebuds of our guests!
