Mesob Restaurant

ABOUT US

What is Mesob?

Mosob is an Eritrean and Ethiopian breadbasket traditionally handcrafted in multiple colours from fibers of Raffia Palm. Many generations ago, the mother had to come up with an artistic invention to keep and preserve her family’s food staple (i.e., the Injera – a spongy sourdough flatbread and the Qicha – a crispy flatbread). This invention known as Mosob also serves as a dinner table to the family in their daily regular mealtimes. Shaped in a circular structure, it symbolizes family love, sharing and togetherness – the defining cultural identities in East Africa. People surround the Mosob with a traditional cuisine. Prayers follow before everyone extends their hands as they take their share, experiencing the intimacy and integrity while enjoying the delicious food.

REVIEWS

  • star rating  Slow, but tasty take-away - We was hungry and ordered take-away from here on Just Eat. It was easy to order and the acceptance of the order came quickly.

    However, the time we... read more put on the delivery towards the time it was delivered was very slow. We got it one hour and it took long to get it.

    We ordered teh Mesoh Special, as we haven't tried this place before. Also, ordered two extra injeera. Since we wasn't sure how much food nor if it was enough for us two as a couple. We got abundantly and for the price it was cheap.

    The flavours was good, the tibs and the doro wet. Even a few of the vegetarian dishes had flair too. This is a good place for introduction to Ethiopian/Eritrean food. We will most definitely order from here again. The amount of food and quality is worth it.

    The good thing about our order is that we ordered so much and still had plenty of sauce. That we had an additional dinner with it. We didnt mind and with the way they had packed it. We could just warm it all a few minutes in oven.

    I can recommend this place and hopefully next time. We will visit Meshob and not order on the app.

  • star rating  The best Ethiopian food in Norway - This us the best Ethiopean restaurants I've tried in Norway. The food is amazing. The staff is as well. Good prices, too.

    If I was to be picky: it... read more takes some time for the food to arrive. It's never bothered me, but for someone who isn't prepared for the wait, it might seem a bit too slow.

    It's worth the wait.

    I keep going back and back again.

  • star rating  Authentic and welcoming place! - A very authentic and welcoming place with Ethiopian and Eritrean food, and the staff was very helpful showing ingredients they use, how to eat and what to try!
    They... read more use warm spices, and the food may not look like a lot but it is really filling.
    I wish they had more ethiopian drinks, teas and such though.

  • star rating  Tasty fresh ethiopian food - Looking for a quick bite after shopping. Friendly welcome, nice atmosphere. While the order was quickly taken, the food took a bit longer to get ready than in most fast... read more ethnic food restaurants we were used to (but not an hour like previous poster reported). However, when the food arrived (the special, which we shared), it was fresh and tasty, distinctive spices, and an excellent in injeera. Really excellent. Also, although we were really hungry, the sharing dish was more than enough for us, and very good value. Good coffee and tea as well. And again, friendly staff. Will definitely come again, and make sure we are not in a rush. This foods deserves time to enjoy it!

  • star rating  New owners, maybe less great but still good - Based on the reviews from earlier, we had great expectations for this place. Unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to the raving reviews, but we might know why: we called... read more ahead to see if we needed a reservation and the man who took the phone said he was the former owner but had sold the place. Anyway, we came very early (4 pm) and although the restaurant was almost empty, the service was very slow. On the plus side, it is a very clean and inviting restaurant. The food was very good, and plentiful. A combination plate is highly recommended (rather than just one dish). There was no Ethiopian coffee ceremony but good traditional coffee nonetheless.
