In the early evenings, the restaurant caters to a relaxed dinner crowd, which feasts on Chef Netsanet Alemayehu’s dinner menu of dishes accompanied by Ethiopia’s indigenous bread, Injera. The menu features Ethiopian riffs on American fare such as the popular Pomegranante Meatballs sprinkled with blue cheese, a Sirloin Sambussa pastry stuffed with spiced beef, and lightly breaded Rosemary Balsamic Sea Bass with turmeric rice. The Alemeyahu sisters visit Ethiopia occasionally where they shop for spices and bring them home to the Fillmore so that you can experience the flavorful authenticity of the dishes served at Sheba Piano Lounge. Check out the menu below.
