What People Are Saying About Meskerem Ethiopian Cuisine

In Short
One of three Meskerem restaurants in the city, this location features more modest decor than its uptown peers. A few steep steps descend into a dark basement space whose embellishment is limited to a mirror that runs along one wall. The menu, fortunately, matches the other locations, covering the basics of Ethiopian cooking, and includes sambosas, kifto (chopped beef often served raw), tibs (lamb sauteed with rosemary), and, of course, injera, the spongy bread that doubles as a utensil.

Meskerem is one of my absolute favorite campus stops for a delicious dinner. The space is small and cozy, and a perfect dinner spot if you need to have a conversation with someone -- not the typical NYC loud noises! Service is not speedy but reminiscent of service in Africa, so I think of it as genuine :) Gives you time to enjoy with your party. Vegan and vegetarian friendly, but also great for carnivores! 4 stars from me!

They don't deliver! Which is probably a good thing or I would order delivery every single night from them, and probably eventually (after 5 years) get tired of their food. I personally think this is some of the best Ethiopian food around. I've eaten at 5 different Ethiopian restaurants in my life and this one really keeps me coming back for more. It's too bad the ambiance isn't a bit better, but honestly, the food is so good I'd eat it on the sidewalk in the rain if I had to!!!
