We decided that we needed to keep heading south out of the snow regardless of the fact that we'd yet to eat anything... not the wisest of decisions but after yelping up the vegetarian restaurants in Richmond (the next big city to drive through), we made Sheba's Ethiopian the light at the end of the tunnel.
And IT WAS SO GOOD!!!! Normally, when I eat Ethiopian food in Los Angeles I eat at an all vegan spot so cheese had yet to make its mark. What an introduction!
Our waitress Kelly, was amazing and recommended these little hot n' spicy rolls of yum called Katenya... watch and drool:
The vegetarian combo plate left a little to be desired but extra sides of the lentils and greens made that problem go away might quick!
And to top it off, Sheba's served us complimentary honey wines called Tej since the traditional coffee presentation gal had the night off. Quite tasty! Don't worry we only had a few sips since we had to keep trucking...
Charleston ETD 2:30am, gotta roll!

Nice post and video! You make it sound so yummy!
ReplyDeleteSheba maybe Richmond's best kept secret. I'm kinda wimpy in the spice dept but still like ethiopian food.
I'm a total wimp when it comes to spice too! But the complexity of the flavor is what does it here, there's heat of course but no flames or upsetting of the tummy with the Katenya. I'm a mild to tame gal in regards to "hot spice", where I'm wild is with texture, that's probably why I'm still a sucker for Cream of Wheat, especially when it gets lumpy.
