Queen Sheba Ethiopian Restaurant & Bar
Queen Sheba brings Ethiopian cooking to the cluster of international restaurants along Central Avenue. Come for a meal built around richly seasoned stews and injera, the soft flatbread used to scoop up each bite. The restaurant also has a lounge, so there is more here than a quick takeout counter.
