I've had the pleasure of visiting this place a few times, and my recent birthday dinner experience was exceptional. As an Ethiopian, every conversation with the owner makes me feel at home. She exudes a genuine Ethiopian motherly vibe and handles everything herself – cooking and serving. Remarkably, she's been running this restaurant solo for 30 years! The food is simply outstanding, reminiscent of my mom's cooking – not overly oily or spicy, but incredibly flavorful and authentically Ethiopian. We ordered vegetarian combinations for 1, Bozena shiro and Doro wot! Mama Z is an absolute gem!
Some of the best Ethiopian food in town. This woman is amazing. She runs the restaurant by herself! Everything was fresh cooked and tasted great. Highly recommend. She does ask that people call ahead for larger groups (6+).
Finally tried the Ethiopian food at Queen of Sheba on E Colfax — and what a treasure this spot is! The owner is a lovely lady who is also your bartender, server, and cook in this cozy little spot that feels like you’re eating in her home dining room. All the meats are delicious, as well as the lentils and potatoes for my vegetarian folks!

Call for a reservation! There’s a total of maybe 6 tables here, so it’s a must.
