Guest swirlundergrounder Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 Went there last night to see a friend play some congo dums with a jazz band that plays there. I didn't have anything to eat but I was watching what other people were eating and the food looked fantastic! The place is also a really nice joint. The drinks are cheap. I had a rum drink and a Saporro beer and the bill was $11 bucks.. There is a mix of meats, seafood and veggie dishes so meat lovers and vegetarians can both enjoy the wide variety of food there. The ambiance is nice and they also have a shop that sells authentic African artifacts and drums. etc.. I looked at the menu and the prices for entrees range from $16-$35. Apps where an avg of $8-$9. You only get forks and knives if you ask for them. Otherwise you eat Ethiopian food with your hands! Great place for groups. There was a group of around 30 people that they accomidated. Also this is a good date place. They say eating Ethiopian food with your bare hands is a very erotic thing to do. So if you're looking to get some lovin' this place will do the trick! 4029 N.Miami AvenueMiami Fl 33137305-573-1819www.shebamiami.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 029 Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 i've been there only once so far. nice place, good food, good ethiopean beer & atmosphere/music. i have to say that for the type of simple food (basicaly a crepe with "filings") they serve, it's way overpriced imho (must be the location). still a good place to check out and try out some new flavah!

As far as I know, it's the only Ethiopian place in Miami right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest speedway Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 I'm sure there has already been a thread on Sheba the Ethiopian restaurant in the Design District. But wanted to share my experience going there for the first time.First off, I was just recently exposed to Ethiopian food on a trip to the Bay Area. A friend took me to an Ethiopian restaurant in Oakland (where there are several) that totally blew me away. I loved the whole experience (eating with your hands, trying different spices and flavors, etc). Thus coming off that my expectations were high.I must say I was fairly disappointed in Sheba. First off, the fancy decor with the linen tablecloths, candlelight, etc just doesn't fit with this type of cuisine. I was expecting something more "organic". Everyone I saw in the place was eating with a fork and knife which may be akin to eating sushi with a fork not sticks.The service was poor with the waitress not able to properly expound on the menu or the cuisine (something that is vital at a place like this).Prices a bit high for what the quality of food as well.I walked away stuffed - how could you not with the bread they serve you - but the flavors of the dishes were not nearly as satisfying as what I had out west.I had the vegetarian combo (five different veggy dishes) and my wife had a meat dish.Anyway, if this place has a monopoly on Ethiopian food in Miami, I guess I may go back if someone in my party really wants to go. But if not, I will wait until I am back in SF or in NYC to go Ethiopian again.Does anyone know if there is another Ethiopian restaurant in South Florida? If so, I'll be happy to try it.
