Meseret Ethiopian Restaurant

We came here for the first time since our local Ethiopian spot closed & this is absolutely a replacement! The service was great; multiple people came out to make sure we were enjoying our meal. The restaurant itself is cute, there are murals & fun paint around, & the tables were comfortable. I got the veggie combo & everything was DELICIOUS. The injira was exactly what you'd expect, with a super tasty sampling of veggies. I also had a very healthy serving of wine at a super reasonable price. Overall, this place was fantastic & I would highly recommend!

Feeling for Ethiopian food? Then search no further- walk, run, take the Uber- JUST go!!! Such outstanding Ethiopian food! A friend and I went here for dinner and had such a fabulous experience. The food was seriously flavorful and well cooked. We got a mix of vegetarian dishes (lentils, potatoes, Spilt peas) and beef tibs. The beef was cooked so well and the flavors were bursting. Even though we were full we still kept eating and wanted more. We also had fresh ginger tea. Service was excellent and the owner greeted us and ensured we were enjoying our food through. The ambiance was very authentic Ethiopian with art work throughout and elements of Ethiopian culture infused. Hands down recommend- so worth the visit. I'll be back whenever work brings me back to Minnesota.

It's a little place with few customers and few employees, but big flavor. We shared a meat platter and it I liked it as much as any Ethiopian place at which I've eaten.

The food is as good Ethiopian as I've had! I frequent this restaurant every time I'm in the Twin Cities

This place is okay, but not great. The food was delicious, but portions were small. I had a wot dinner and left hungry. Also, service was slow and unaccommodating. I waited ten minutes to be seated when the place was nearly empty. They gave soda cans with no cup or ice. No napkins.

The food was alright. Very spicyI ordered the doro wat- be warned that you get only once piece of meat (in my case a single drumstick) with lots of oily sauce and a ton of injera. Disappointing for a $16 meal.

Meseret is our favorite neighborhood restaurant!! Went there tonight with my husband and our 7 month old baby. Super clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated dining room. It was quiet and the service was very responsive. And OMG the food was so beautiful, it looked like a magazine spread. We got the veggie sambusas, awaze beef tibs, and veggie sampler. The sambusas were fresh, warm and flaky and the filling was soo good. The awaze tibs are a favorite of ours-always great. The veggie sampler is always the star of the show. There was so much flavor and each dish tasted different. The owner is so lovely and you can taste her heart in every dish.

The food was decent, I just would have liked for the veggies to have been cooked just a little more. Other than that, I would definitely recommend Meseret.

There where 3 items with the same description. They where all priced 16.99. They explained the difference and I said I'd like the one that was grilled. The food came and was good, but a bit tough. When I got the bill, I was charged 24 for it. I said it was not correct, and pointed it out on the menu. The nice waitress pointed out something else that was grilled and was priced $24, and said that was what I had. Maybe I did get served the higher priced item, so I paid for it rather than argue with her, but I would never go back. I really feel cheated. Bait and switch.

I was craving Ethiopian food today. I typically go to Bole in St. Paul but due to the snow storm, I went to Meseret since it's closer to me. I ordered a to go and I gotta say I was very disappointed. I would give the food 0 star but given it 2 star because the old lady that runs the place was so sweet. I ordered the veggie combo and the whole food was cold. The injera was dried and was falling apart. One half of the food taste like it's going bad and the other half lacked flavor. I can tell it wasn't freshly made and was probably made a few days ago. I hope I don't get sick from it.
