Queen of Sheba Ethiopian Restaurant - Inglewood

It's not so easy to pop over to Little Ethiopia when the injera craving hits, but from Inglewood's Queen of Sheba, Doordash will deliver. 

The injera is airy and sour-fresh, and the presentation is neat and clean, even in a styrofoam take-out box. 


Longtime staple Doro Wot hit the spot, and what's not to like about a buttery, sweet and stewy chicken leg with a spice-soaked egg? 


Doro wot was what I wanted, but what I needed was the Lamb Awaze Tibs. The pepper sauce is sweet and red-hot, and there's a buttery fragrance to finish with a flavor that lingers long after you've swallowed. And something about that buttery pepper sauce with the rich gameyness of the lamb makes you want more and all you can do is eat until you can't. 


The Vegetarian Combo is great for a variety of solid sides so you're not just eating meat. Red lentils are rich, and a yellow split pea is hearty and sweet. Collard greens are a much-needed leafy break between meaty bites, and a stewed cabbage and carrot are a comfort. 

Good food overall, great tibs that are actually better than Messob. I love the location as it's closer to the South Bay, but I do think they could hold their own in Little Ethiopia as well.
