I've been wanting to try Ethiopian food for a while since I had only had it one time previously a long time when I was a not so adventurous eater (picky). I finally made the adventure over to Hiawatha and tried out Mesob. It is a little confusing to get to via car if you are heading south to it as you'll have loop over on a residential block next to Hiawatha to get on the right side of the road to entire the parking lot. The parking lot is also pretty small although we later found out there was additional space in the back. Once you are inside, this place is really awesome. It has a great relaxing vibe with cool interior decorations, cool light fixtures, and some nice jazzy Ethiopian music playing in the background. We were quickly handed a menu and the waitress was very kind and helped us decide between a few options we were stuck between. We decided to all share (4 people) and we ordered the Meat and Veggie Sampler along with a pot of Coffee for 3 people (I don't drink coffee). Everyone who had coffee said it was super delicious and quite strong. I never had it so all I can say is that it smelled great, and the serving cups were so cute. The meat and veggie sampler was awesome! There was about 9 different dishes about 1/2 meat, 1/2 vegetarian served atop of this lovely Injera (Ethiopian bread). Now I don't know what each thing was, but it was all great. There were a few lentil dishes, a cheese dish, a few chicken, and a red meat one. Everything I had was super delicious and that was a great dish to feed the whole crew and for not very expensive. It was nice to be able to eat with your hands and get a little bit of everything. On top of that, because I know a lot of Minnesotans are concerned, this was not a very spicy dish. I think most people could handle eating all of it without worry! Definitely recommend coming over here and I'll be back many more times! read more
