Kingdom of Sheba Restaurant

Head down to Bute Street in the Bay and you'll find Kingdom of Sheba tucked away serving some of the most authentic East African food in Cardiff. You're looking at traditional Eritrean and Ethiopian dishes done properly—none of the shortcuts. The injera is soft and tangy, used as both plate and utensil, soaking up rich doro wat and misir wat that've been building flavour for hours. It's the kind of place where locals keep coming back because the food tastes like it actually matters. The dining room's intimate without feeling cramped, and the staff genuinely want you to enjoy yourself.
