Queen of Sheba brings some of its finest picks from East African cuisine to Taylorsville Road in Louisville. The menu features an impressive list of varied Ethiopian dishes in meat, chicken, vegetable and fish varieties, each infused with characteristic spice and flavor. The custom of traditional dining dictates the use of one's hand to eat, although the restaurant provides silverware for those who wish to stick to what they know. Also experience the thrill of eating from a communal plate at the Mesob or straw-table, where guests and their respective parties can huddle around and sample the shared dishes. Taste the famed Ethiopian meat stew or go for some of the specialties such as Gored-Gored or beef in hot Awaze sauce, Shifta tips or seared meat and Yebeg tips or lamb with onions and other spices.
