Queen Sheba is a happy place. Even if they have lame overpriced bottles of wine. It is a major desi hangout place, I remember hitting it for dindin every couple of weeks back when it was the only ethiopian place I knew in Seattle.
We headed up there after the Obama talk to have dindin with Autumn and Jeremy. We ended up with our staple - a couple of the veggie combo platters and a salad - usually quite yummy, and they kick it up with chopped jalapenos! But this time around, it was lame, seriously lame. A bunch of iceberg lettuce with wonks of tomatoes and little else - and seriously oversalted. They replaced it right away, but the second one wasn't that much better either. It doesn't seem to have the chopped onions anymore - sucks!
The platter was great, as always - even better with their house hot sauce. The lentils and peas were yummy, the cabbage was incredibly flavorful. The greens were a little bland, but still decent. The best part of the meal was the injera that lined the platter - it soaks up the flavors and juices from all the entrees and tastes simply divine! :)
I was poking around reading about Ethiopian food and read that the injera is literally used as a tablecloth for a meal - crazy!
And I just saw this great recipe archive that seems to have a ton of african recipes.
