Amazing neighborhood gem in Minneapolis! We felt so welcome while at the restaurant—the owner has such a warm, kind spirit.Delicious Ethiopian food. Definitely get the veggie combo, which is big enough for two people (though it’s so good, if you arrive with an empty stomach you can finish it on your own).Will absolutely be back!

We were very surprised by how wonderful the service and food were. We had no frame of reference because this is our first time here. We will definitely come back. The service was top-notch, and they were very accommodating, especially in that they have a 100% teff flour, which is gluten-free. It's a hidden gem. We're definitely coming back!

We had a large party of 8 and the hostess went out of her way to make us happy and gave good suggestions for us to try.

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.

I ordered the kitfo via Grub Hub. I was happy with the food from Meseret in the past, but the injera in this order was shockingly old and dried up with small pieces like one would find in a bag that has been ripped apart over tbe course of several days. I have never had anything like this coming from Meseret or any other Ethiopian restaurant in the Twin Cities!

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.

Came in for some take out on a Saturday night and they were pretty busy but they were still really friendly!!Their pricing is very fair and the food is fantastic. The vegetarian sampler dish will easily serve 2 people and it's really tasty!It was busy on a Saturday night and it seemed like things were somewhat slow in the kitchen but everyone was getting their food if a little slowly.I really recommend this place for a sit down meal, you'll just have to be patient if it's busy.Vegetarian options: Only real vegetarian options are the sambusas and the veggie sampler but both should feed you just fine.

Very interesting cuisine, and definitely an acquired taste. Friendly staff and overall good portions, but pricing in relation to portions is nothing to write home about. Check it out, and see what you think!
