Food was good, but the service was possibly the worst I've ever had. We had reservations at 6:00 and were attending a show at 8:00. We were one of only two or three tables when we arrived, yet we didn't get our cocktails for 35 minutes. Even then, the other three were served their cocktails and mine took another ten minutes. Server was so slow we ordered dinner at the same time as our drinks. Water was never refilled, no one checked on us, and we were there for over an hour before our food was served. There were three employees who chatted behind the bar almost the entire time we were there. Slotting two hours for dinner at this place wasn't enough; we were late to our 8:00 show

Nice combination of unique flavors and dishes from Ethiopia and the Caribbean. I had the lamb tibs here at the northland location.They were quite good. I had the ribs at the downtown location and they were great.

Amazing rum drinks! Amazing food! We have been 4 times and cannot wait to work our way through the menu. The service is fantastic- family supporting each other and making guests feel welcome. The latest meal included Blue Cloud cocktail and Jerk baby back ribs. Incredible flavors

We throughly enjoyed our first visit to Mesob. We visited their north location. Food was amazing and the service was great. We had the Caribbean fritters, chicken jambalaya, and shrimp tibs. All were excellent. We will be back.

The mix of Ethiopian and Caribbean food was great. Waiter was fine, but there probably needed to be two waiters to serve.
