Mesob Ethiopian Restaurant and Bar Northcote

Very authentic and delicious Ethiopian cuisine! Highly recommend.

I’ve been here a few times and the first time it was magnificent! The second time was average - the meat in the in both curries was so tough it was inedible. Service was slow but not too bad. I don’t think I’d return for a while. I was craving the delicious beef curry before I got there and when I had it I didn’t want it.

I’m not sure if it was just the night we ate there, but the meat was really tough and difficult to eat. Everything else was lovely. I will try again, but this time with vegetarian. Not sure I could recommend it yet.

Had the platter for 2 with my boyfriend, it was delicious. The atmosphere was really funky. Enjoyed our time there.

Delicious food and really nice staff, they had no issues splitting the bill. I’ll definitely go back there

We loved Mesob and will definitely return for a repeat performance. Delectable exotic food in a wonderful atmospheric surrounding with friendly and accommodating staff. A must-try!

Loved it ! We simply had too much beautiful food. Gorgeous staff .. The family were very well looked after .. thank you

Great night, very tight sitting near the kitchen. Will come again but not on a Saturday

loud but tasty n fun; great band next door too.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

We had an awesome evening - great food, friendly service and warm atmosphere.

Mesob were welcoming and provided exceptionally attentive service to our group which included a child and a service dog in training. Food was delicious. Definitely recommend.

Staff were v friendly and welcoming. Food yummy. We will be back

the best ethiopian food ever, you absolutely cannot leave this place without feeling so full and so satisfied! i would eat here every night if i could!

Wonderful food and the people who work here are extremely friendly

We had the omnivore platter. It was so delicious. My friends hadn’t been there before and really enjoyed it too and said they would return. Can’t wait to go back.

Food was plentiful and very tasty. It was very busy so service was not as prompt as you might expect. Still a great night. Would definitely go back

Great restaurant with amazing food. We will definitely go again.

Had a great time the food was great, the staff were very helpful, would go again.

I love this place, great authentic food, served by an enthusiastic, friendly staff. Great ambiance, moderately priced, and even some Ethiopian beers. Perfect for couples, friends or large gatherings .

I'm glad we booked because it was busy and noisy when we first arrived. It has a really relaxed, fun vibe. Most importantly, the food was absolutely delicious. We had a sharing plate, all gluten free, and it was just so good, rich, varied, amazing colours and textures. Will come again!

Absolutely delicious! Caters for Vegan and Celiac with no stress at all. The Bar next door was such fun afterwards as well with a fantastic and joyful band. Totally recommend.

such an amazing vibe, lovely place to go for a date night!

Great food, great staff. Had highchair hair and colouring pencils ready for our kids and made a meal just for our 4yo.

The food is as always amazing, the service is friendly and quick. I've taken several friends before, and absolutely will again.

Great service and great food. Can't recommend it enough.

The food here is so delicious! I also love that depending on the number of guests, the platter is evenly portioned for each diner. This is great for those who may not particularly like sharing with others. My only minor criticism would be that the service can be a little slow but all is forgiven when the food arrives. Great for families.

We were very excited to go to
Mesob and saved our visit up for Valentines Day, but we had a very disappointing experience. The waitress seemed to forget about us for long periods of time - it took half an hour to be given water, and an hour to be given our main. We left feeling very let down.

Valentines dinner for two. We were gratified at the well crafted flavours and the wonderful hands-on dining experience. The food was flavourful but without the one-dimensional overpowering spiciness as can sometimes spoil other cuisines. In all, I would definitely come back, preferably over and over.

Vast quantities of delicious, affordable Ethopian food, in a busy and LOUD restaurant. Go with a group, share a couple of platters and don't be sniffy about how loud it gets.

Great food for sharing, lots of flavour and caters to many dietary restrictions. Good attentive and fast service too.

EXCELLENT FOOD AND GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY. REALLY ENJOYED IT.

Very good Ethiopian food, wide range of choices. Good value for money

Much enjoyed an evening with good friend catching up in a great location Planning another meal at Mysob late February

A very popular but noisy restaurant. Service was prompt and there is virtually no waiting once you have ordered. We ordered the omni platter for two and there was a large variety of small samples of food, however there was way too much bread and not nearly enough salad for two people. Ended up cleaning the plate and still left slightly unsatisfied.

Great value and excellent service,very friendly highly recommend 👍

Great food, loved the atmosphere. I recommend the platters.

Food was unusual and very tasty. We thoroughly enjoyed our shared platter using our fingers as is tradition. There was ample food enjoyed with some wine. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the service.

Great food, and staff who are fabulous (extremely welcoming and patient with our group of 7) make this a place I'm always happy to go back to. Our group felt very well looked after! We each had our own section of the shared plate so the vegetarians were well catered to. We were happy with the list of drinks available, and a few of us tried the St George beer. Topped it off with some delicious coffee. A very happy customer!

Had a great night out with friends at Mesob in Northcote. Mesob is a great find for food with a difference. Great tasting, good vegetarian options, helpful friendly staff and well priced. Banquets provided great assortment of tastes and textures, but the a'la carte menu also has a lot of variety with both meat and vegetarian goodies. Easy to buy and share. Big thanks to the Mesob staff who were happy to help us drinks and coffees even though we stayed very late.

Love this place. Always take my friends and family here whenever they're visiting intetstate
