Abyssinia | Ethiopian Restaurant · Arden-Arcade
Abyssinia serves Ethiopian stews and vegetables over tangy injera, with combination platters letting several preparations share a single tray. Doro wot, kitfo, tibs, and a wide vegan lineup all appear on the menu at its Fulton Avenue home in Arden-Arcade. A traditional coffee ceremony rounds out the communal meal, bringing freshly roasted beans, incense, and popcorn to the table.
Queen Sheba Ethiopian Cuisine · Land Park
Queen Sheba has introduced Sacramento diners to Ethiopian cooking since 2003, now from its Broadway dining room in Land Park. Doro wat, kitfo, injera, traditional coffee ceremonies, and broad vegetarian combinations fill the menu. Owner Zion Taddese also supports regional teff cultivation, tying the restaurant's staple grain directly to California farmland and the fields that supply the kitchen.
