Ethiopian Dining
Dining in Ethiopia is characterized by the ritual
of breaking injera and eating from the same
plate, signifying the bonds of loyalty and
friendship. The quintessence of those bonds is
often demonstrated in the form of gursha – that
is, the placing of food in the mouth of another
diner from one’s own hand.
The traditional bread, called injera, is made of teff, an iron and calciumrich grain grown in Ethiopia. However, entrepreneurs have started growing
teff in this country to serve the large Ethiopian community in the United
States. Injera is a large crepe-like flat bread upon which the various
stew-like dishes are served. The traditional way of eating is with ones
fingers, which is in itself a delicate art. In this manner, a bite-sized piece
of injera is broken off to pick up a mouthful of the chosen dish. At Queen
of Sheba, you are welcome to embrace the full Ethiopian experience, or
you can ask for a fork and/or for your food to be served on an
individual plate.
Our dishes are characterized by the variety of spices used to give them
their exotic taste. Watt, which is a stew-like dish, comes in a variety of
forms – beef, lamb, chicken, and vegetables. These range from hotly spiced
(with berbere, a typical Ethiopian red pepper) to very mild. The more
delicately seasoned watts are called “alicha,” which contain no berbere.
Tibbs is pan-fried meat, fish, shrimp, lamb, or vegetables. Nitter kebbeh,
a specially prepared butter, is the key ingredient used for meat dishes to
give them their unique flavor.
Vegetarian dishes are also a staple of our cuisine, especially during Lent, a
period of fifty-five days before Easter. Ethiopian Orthodox Christians are
prohibited from eating all meat and meat by-products such as milk, cheese,
and butter during this time. Yet the variety of watts and other dishes
made with lentils, peas, flax, and other vegetables are just as wonderful
and tasty as those containing meats.

About Queen of Sheba
“Try us once, we will be friends forever!”
Queen of Sheba restaurant is named after Friesh’s
(pronounced Free-esh’) Ethiopian guide and mentor.
Friesh has owned Ethiopian restaurants in the
Durham/Chapel Hill area for many years. Loyal
customers come from all over the Triangle and the world
to enjoy her delicious Ethiopian food and the welcoming
and friendly ambiance her restaurant offers.
When the building for her previous restaurant on
Graham Street was torn down, she began to search for
a new location. During the 18-month search for a new
restaurant “home,” Friesh continued to cook her
delicious meals at private parties. She sold - and still
sells - Ethiopian fare on her website Abyssinia Market
(www.abyssiniamarket.com). She has always been
touched by the generosity of her Chapel Hill customers
who have been supportive of her and the restaurant.
Thank you for choosing to dine here! Please let us
know if there’s anything we can do to make your dining
experience more enjoyable.
