• A family favorite!

I have been a regular at Mesob for about 10 years, and it is one of my favorite restaurants in NJ. The owners are kind and welcoming, and always happy to see you. The service is very attentive, if a little relaxed, which I prefer rather than being rushed through my dinner. This is not a restaurant to visit for a fast meal, but rather a relaxed dining experience. It's BYOB, which is great, and there's a nice liquor store with a decent selection right across the street. There is quite an extensive Vegan section of the menu, including dessert. And in fact, the Vegan items, to me, are the stars of the menu. They are expertly seasoned and prepared, and are consistently good. My favorite is definitely the butitcha, but the Indugai tibs is also very good. I don't typically order appetizers, because the entrees are so filling, especially consuming the amount of injera that you do. But I understand the appetizers are just as delicious. I highly recommend capping your dinner off with a pot of Ethiopian coffee, which takes a while, but is worth the wait. The beans are roasted to order, and the server will bring them out on a large straw bowl right after roasting for you to smell, which is a tradition. It's strong, flavorful, and delicious. I haven't been to the Sunday brunch yet, but look forward to trying it soon.
