I know Ethiopian food and its very good. In Mesob, I had an Ethiopian food and it was very very very good. Nice atmosphere and kind hosts. Get some spicy paste or powder on the side, it is unique.

I loved the vegetarian sampler ! You pick 6 options from the vegetarian menu and they serve a good portion of each choice. Plus, it's all prepared vegan style! I'll be back very soon! (:

Mesob is my favorite restaurant in Montclair ! The food is amazing, as is the ambiance & staff . I recommend the collard greens , red & brown lentils , chick pea biscuits , & everything else in the menu!

Surprise! Ethiopian cuisine ? It’s fantastic. Real Ethiopian folks and they know food well . Found it by accident, but it’s going to be a staple now, if I’m in NJ.

Amazing food. Vegetarian friendly . BYOB like most of the area. Great staff . Order the Mesob Ethiopian coffee which is served in a gourd. It's some of the best tasting coffee I've ever had.

vegan sampler with gluten free injera . delicious!

Split the meat sampler . We loved the chickpea and collared green sides. 2 of the meat dishes were only okay (too much sour for us personally).

Jordan Sassone

can't go wrong with anything you order. gluten free injira is what's up.
