We stumbled into Messob off the street -- we originally wanted to go to another restaurant in the area, but they had a long wait on a Friday night so we had to look elsewhere. This turned out to be our good luck: this was the best meal we've had in ages. We started with the vegetarian sambusas, which we loved (especially with the green sauce that comes on the side). For our main course, we got the Kitfo and the vegetarian combo, both of which were great. The food was a little spicy for me, but in a good way. Everything came out nice and warm, and the flavors were really savory and delicious. The staff was super nice, and we had an excellent time. We'll definitely be back...on purpose, next time.

ordered for delivery a dish gluten free with gluten free injara. they sent the lamb wrapped in non gluten free bread, rendering it inedible. Only got a partial refund from Doordash. The restaurant wouldn't give a refund because it was doordash. You'd think the restaurant would be smart and not mess with people's health.

Small family restaurant, fresh food, fast service, and delicious. We ordered 3 items and the Zambia's appetizer and finished it all with a second serving of injera. They also have a few tables outside for outdoor eating.

Found this little place by accidentVery nice smiling service Good food - they gave me the amazing red sauce once i asked for it Lots of veggie options as predicted The place could have used nice music and could be a bit better decorated but it is perfect when you want a good solid lunch!

Food was very good. We also had the tej. The honey wine was very sweet. I highly recommend vegetarian dishes when eating Ethiopian food. Service was good. Ambiance is a small restaurant with an outdoor area. I would eat here again.

Food was too good for photos! It came hot and smelled so good. The injera bread was perfect. I ordered the vegetarian combination with buticha and mushrooms. I think the only thing that I should have asked was to make it spicy! It was hella good.

My wife and I love Ethiopian food and with the help of Yelp found Messob. We needed a quick and delicious lunch because we were on the way to a matinee at the Berkeley Reparatory. We enjoyed two orders of the Vegetarian Messob with the injera. We ordered an extra side of injera to finish all the wonderful food. My wife had the spiced tea which complimented the food. The service was attentive and great!The restaurant is petite with a few tables. We'll definitely be back :)

Ordered the vegetarian combo with everything! Portion size was amazing to share for two people. We left quite full and very happy. We also split an order of the sambussa - they were super kind to let us do 2 veggie and 1 meat. Superb customer service and very accommodating. My friend the meat eater (as she's known in these parts) also ordered the Alicha Firfir. She's Ethiopian and said in total it was the probably the best Ethiopian food she's had in a US restaurant. Quite the praise so definitely check it out! Everything from the apps to the entrees to the coffee was really delicious.
