Queen of Sheba · Temple Terrace
Queen of Sheba is a family run restaurant grounded in traditional Ethiopian cooking and spices imported through the owner's family. The Queen's Eight platter combines meat and vegetable preparations over injera, making it an approachable shared introduction. Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options broaden the table without diluting the restaurant's focus.
Mitmita Ethiopian restaurant · Carrollwood
Mitmita's menu moves through injera, lentil and potato salads, split peas, collard greens, beets, chicken doro wat, lamb tibs, and fish. The Linebaugh Avenue dining room encourages communal eating by hand, with fermented teff flatbread carrying the stews and vegetables. House lemonade and Ethiopian coffee frame the meal without alcohol.
