Queen Sheba, a charming Ethiopian restaurant on Broadway @17th. Ethiopian food is more communal than almost [+]any other type of ethnic food. The hallmark of Ethiopian cuisine consists of sharing food on one giant plate and using enjera a spongy, sour, pliable flat bread to scoop up the various shared dishes. enjera is the common thread of almost every meal for Ethiopias middle and upper classes. Prepared much as it was 1,000 years ago, enjera is both an eating utensil and a palette for other foods to lie on. It lines the giant plate, soaking up the sauces and spices of the various dishes piled on top. The eating of this lining or table clothâ signifies that the meal is officially over, completing the communal Ethiopian dining experience. "Subscribers Choice Awards" Zion Taddese and her brother Eskinder opened Queen Sheba Restaurant on Howe Avenue in August of 2003 and have recently move their location to 1704 Broadway downtown Sacramento which is a larger restaurant that allows them to serve more customers. Together, the siblings offer friendly and attentive service along with spicy, flavorful dishes that follow the traditions of Ethiopian dining. You can enjoy, the famed honey wine, tej, which Ethiopians often make themselves, with a unique taste that complements the spices in the food. Combination plates on the menu, allow you to sample different dishes arranged symmetrically on a giant plate. Dishes such as Gomen, a dish of cooked spinach, collard greens, onions and garlic. Gomen may remind you of collards in soul-food cooking. Then experience, miser kik wot (wot meaning stew), a satisfying, mild-flavored dish made with lentils and spices. In the combination you will find two similar-tasting dishes, doro wot and gored gored. Doro wot is a popular dish with chicken leg and hard-boiled egg, served on a dark bed of simmered vegetables and spices. It has the color, consistency and heat of a fiery chili. Doro wot is of the chicken family, the gored gored has cubes of beef in a similar mixture, spiced in Ethiopian fashion, with berbere. Berbere, a mix of at least a dozen spices, including paprika, ginger, cardamom, hot chilies and turmeric, giving Ethiopian foods their distinct flavors.

In addition to these we have many Vegetarian and Vegan dishes for you to enjoy. You'll end your dining experience eating the large table cloth Enjera, which is soaked with the sauces and spices of the various dishes. Finish with coffee, coffee drinking has a great significance in Ethiopia. Ceremonial in nature, beans are freshly roasted, ground and brewed and then served in tiny cups with sugar but no milk. Drink three cupful's for a blessing. The flavors and customs of Ethiopian dining will provide you with the experience of food from the "cradle of civilization". [-]

Little Baobab - Bissap Baobab - (Mission) - San Francisco CA -
Little Baobob - Bissap Boabob

Ever since first opening our doors in 1996, Bissap Baobab has brought the savory, succulent flavors of Senegal to San Francisco’s Mission District.

Our menu consists mainly of traditional Senegalese cuisine and West African specialties which have become favorites of our returning customers, [+]whom we like to call our extended “Baobab family.”Choose from a full range of gourmet African dishes, including starters, entrees, and desserts; wash down your meal with our homemade juice drinks, one of our signature infused cocktails, or a selection of beers and spirits from all over the world.
More than just a restaurant, Bissap Baobab is a community center and San Francisco cultural institution. To serve the Greater Bay Area, we also opened a new East Bay location in downtown Oakland.

With a laid back, yet distinctly cosmopolitan, worldly vibe which upholds the concept of an African village, we feature weekly, monthly, and special events: from DJ parties; to live music and dance performances; to French language and World Cup meet-ups; to independent film screenings; art exhibitions; spoken word and poetry, and much, much more.
Our name is a tribute to the meaningful symbol of life, community, and culture in Africa -- the Baobab tree.

Native to the equatorial Savannah regions, the baobab stores water in its thick trunk, can grow to a height of 30 meters (almost 100 feet!), and has been known to live for thousands of years. In African culture, all parts of the baobab are used—cloth and rope are made from the bark; medicinal salves and tea are made from the leaves; jam, gravy, and beer are made from the pulp, and the nutrient-rich fruit is a delicacy also used in crafts and jewelry. Baobab branches often house bush babies and other fauna, while people have been known to live inside its cavernous trunks!
Just like its mighty namesake, Bissap Baobab provides sustenance and shelter for a multicultural community sharing in food, dance, and celebration. Join us for a meal, a song, or a dance, and become part of the family! [-]
