The food was absolutely incredible! So flavourful and filling. My first time trying Ethiopian cuisine and it was thoroughly enjoyed by me and my family.

Really delicious and friendly owners. If you get a platter for two, it's a huge portion. They have a lot of fun items on the menu that I would like to try next time, like Ethiopian tartare!

I was looking for a place where can I get spaghetti and by chance found this awesome place, I got my spaghetti's with meat and the chef put the cheese on it place it in the oven, that was fantastic. The atmosphere is amazing. You have to be very hungry in order to finish your meal that comes with salad and a bread.

Outstanding Ethiopian fare! The Qiqil—a mild, flavorful lamb and Carrot ,potato stew —and Mesob veggies special platter bursting with lentils, gomen, Fish and fresh salads were tangy, spicy perfection on spongy injera. Generous portions, vibrant vibes, and spot-on service. Shoutout to owner Ahmed, a genuinely great guy who made it feel like home. Must-try—back soon! 🇪🇹🍲

Well priced, excellent variety. We came very hungry and ordered the mesobs platter for two, 25$ and we were very satisfied!
I had the pleasure of enjoying kitfo at Mesobs Restaurant, and I must say—it was absolutely delicious and authentic. The texture, flavor, and the way it was seasoned truly reminded me of traditional kitfo at its best. It was served fresh and perfectly prepared, with the right balance of spices and clarified butter. A real treat for anyone who loves Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisine!
I noticed someone mentioned that the kitfo had tomato sauce in it, which surprised me. In my experience at Mesobs Restaurant there was no tomato sauce added at all—just the classic ingredients you’d expect in a well-made kitfo. Perhaps there was a misunderstanding or a one-time variation, but my meal was genuinely satisfying and true to Ethiopian culinary tradition.

I had a horrible experience at this restaurant and will not be going back. I did a pick up order for Kitfo and was extremely disappointed. The Kitfo was filled with oil and tomatoes sauce with a little bit of ground beef. Tomatoes sauce isn’t even suppose to be in Kitfo. The Ayib (cheese) was placed in the middle of the Kifto and was melted. It did not look appetizing. The customer service was also not the best after going back to show them the food, they did nothing about it and didn’t even offer to remake it. I have attached a picture of the food to this review. Very disappointed.

I was looking for a place to grab dinner by myself in the middle of the week and found Mesobs on Google right up the street from me. I'm so glad I did. It is decorated in a way that you can tell the owners are proud of their culture and looking to share it with people. The atmosphere is cozy, comfortable and nostalgic . My server was so sweet and helped me with my meal as I tried to order an amount of coffee more appropriate to a group than just one person. The food was excellent and the portion was huge. I had the Mesobs Special Veggie and thoroughly enjoyed the two meals I got out of it! The coffee was a wonderful after dinner treat and I just can't say enough about this place. Truly a gem on Lansdowne serving simple, tasty and affordable food that is made with care. I will be back and hope others will enjoy it as much as I did. I didn't manage to take any photos before I started devouring the food but I'll attach what I can!
