The food is quite good (probably premade and reheated, but for foods with many spices, that seems to work to their advantage, allowing for the flavors to blend and soak in). They don't get much traffic and tend to lack a few menu items. The servers are dolls. They are quite attentive, but you will probably have to wait for your food (never know how long). Despite the quirks, which I've come to find charming, it's a great value. We spend about $20 on nights that we're really hungry and want to get two vegetarian combos for two people, a little less when we get an appetizer and one combo. It's also BYO, so that saves you some more right there. Chances are, you will be the only people eating there, or you will be eating with only one or two other groups. Later in the evening, people who appear to regulars show up. It's not as elaborately decorated as other Ethiopian restaurants in the area, and it hasn't had new carpet and the like in a good 20 years (though the walls appear to be more recently painted). Don't go if you're fussy, but if you want tasty Ethiopian food without the hassle of a big production (say, on a weeknight or lazy Friday), make your way to Sheba.
Pros: Good Food, Great Value, Decent Street Parking
Cons: Availability of Menu Items, Variable Wait for Food, Decor is Rough around the Edges
