You walk in the door and immediately mouth watering. The decor is also cute. Lots of fun art and images on the walls. The food itself is so good. I always love samplers at Ethiopian restaurants, so I can try a bit of a few different things. Mesob's Veggie Sampler was fantastic. 8 different veggie dishes to try and loads of injera to eat it with. My favorite was the shira (not shockingly), but all of the dishes were good and a very good mix. The sampler also lasted me about 4 meals! Very good bang for your buck!

We got the Meat Combo Plater which had 4 different dishes included, all very tasty (see photo for description)! But I was left wanting a little more spice/heat.

Before commenting on the food taste and quality, I want to emphasize how important it is for this…read moreestablishment to exist in such a neighborhood. Normally, daily Ethiopian food that's not in the US are vegan, so what is offered here is closer to what's authentically made in Ethiopian culture. I enjoyed pretty much all the dishes I had, and I would recommend this spot to anyone who wants good vegan food. My friends had the awaze tibs, which contained seitan, a high protein meat substitute, and it was seasoned very well, having an adequate amount of spice. I ordered the mushroom tibs, and it was okay, because it tasted as if the only seasoning was salt, and it was a bit dry, which indicated that the mushrooms were overcooked. In addition to such, we had a few veggies on the samplers, including miser, ater kik, gomen, fasolia, and keysir. They all had a good amount of seasoning and in general tasted good with the injera. I would say, though, that they may have all needed a bit more mekelesha, because I have had more vibrant-tasting versions of all of those veggies elsewhere. One thing worth noting was that shiro wasn't one of the options for the veggie sampler, so I had to order a separate portion of shiro, since I considered it necessary when consuming Ethiopian food in general, and it tasted good, in a conventional manner. It seems like per the menu that they have a shiro wot now, which indicates how popular it is among customers.

When we got home, we didn't have any of the things we had ordered. They gave us just a bunch of chopped lettuce with injera. One of the three boxes that they gave us had legitimate food in it, but it was a bunch of chicken bones and almost no meat and it was virtually no food. We felt totally ripped off like we had been completely taken advantage of. So I would never go to this place ever again and I would be really thoughtful about everything considering going to this place. They deliberately ripped us off and we feel really pissed off about it.

I had the chicken tibs with tiqel gomen and veggie sambusas to start. The food came out pretty quickly and everything was hot. The sambusas were wonderful!
