The Queen of Sheba RestaurantB+

12 Fortess Rd, London NW5 2EU · Ethiopian restaurant, Bar · Kentish Town

Warm, homey Ethiopian spot with excellent platters and friendly service, but expect occasional long waits and rustic comfort over polish.

Why this grade

The Queen of Sheba delivers solid neighborhood dining through strong food quality and knowledgeable, welcoming service that makes it competitive with respected local Ethiopian favorites. However, inconsistent execution during peak times and documented service delays prevent a higher grade. The warm, authentic setting and generous platters appeal to both first-timers and repeat diners, though tight seating and variable pacing are real constraints for larger groups.

One caveat: Waits of 45-60 minutes at busy times appear in several reviews; plan accordingly
