We ordered takeaway from Mesob recently, and it was absolutely delicious! The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the flavours of the food were incredible. We definitely will be going back

The interior is friendly and welcoming. There a many little details focused on the ethopian culture. There were many traditional dishes to choose from but this was our first time trying anything from the african continent so we decided to try the plate that gives us a chefs selection.
The service was great and the ambience was lovely and cosy.
We ordered:
•omnivore combination platter
•sambosas
•beers
•omnivore combination platter
A very colourful dish with a variety of different meats, there was chicken, beef, lamb and goat, they were sitting on a bed of ethopian style flour bread ( this was the most filling part ) the side salad included was a garden salad we really enjoyed this dish. the plating style was really interesting and you just have to remember to wash your hands before you start esting with them!!
we also couldnt get past taking two sambosas home as they looked amazing. they reminded us of mexican fajitas only in a different skin.you can have vegetarian or meat and when we took them home they were still amazing to eat with the chilli salsa.
we are excited to go back again and try more dishes on the menu. good luck to the team.
I am a vegetarian, so didn’t have many options. Tried a few from the shared platter but not my type of food. Guests with me enjoyed it thoroughly
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If you haven’t been here before...go!
The food is simply amazing. Get the sharing plate (veggie, meat or mixed)
You eat with your hands. There was a few hick ups with our order as we asked for a couple of dietary changes but they corrected quickly and the service was great over all.
It’s a no frills restaurant but food was incredible.

First time to try Ethiopian food
We ordered the big plate to tried everything
We're suprise how good it taste
The bread also had interesting sour flavour but good to eat together with the meat or veggies
Friendly staff and great service too
Absolutely loved this place. Very quick and friendly service. They also sat us down immediately eventhough it was a busy Saturday night. We had the shared platter for two. Everything in that tray was amazingly flavoured and cooked. The lamp and the beef, the vegetables, the lentil , all of it. Really enjoyed it. Would definitely make this place a regular.
Come for the vegetarian banquet, stay for the cheap Ethiopian beers! Loved everything this place piled on the injera. The banquet is the way to go because they clearly know what they are doing. The food also wasn't too salty like at some other Ethiopian places. It was super busy on a Thursday night and we were lucky to sneak in without a booking. I will definitely be booking next time though because I wouldnt want to miss out. The price is also so right.
Wow! Just amazing.... of allll the food I have tried this was my very first time at a 'real Ethiopian' restaurant and I absolutely loved it, food was so delicious, the curries are super tasty and the sharing platter is just fantastic.... I also loved the Ethiopian beer they serve, highly recommend!

Food tastes delicious and the blend of spices just make it perfect for your taste buds ! Injera was so tasty and doro Kaye and doro wot is a MUST TRY !
Go for the comfort food.. feel and great vibe !

4.5. I love Ethiopian food (absolutely adore injera bread), and Mesob is one of my top two Ethiopian restaurants in Melbourne. A nice space with friendly and good-humoured staff, it was quite busy on a weekday night, although we managed to get one of the tables at the back without booking. We started with the lentil sambosa, which was like a massive samosa. The lentils were a little flavourless although the berbere chutney was great. Next was the omnivore combination platter and this was again massive! There is one large injera bread at the bottom and smaller injera pieces separating the platter which I thought worked great. The vegetarian portions were amazing and probably outshone the meat options. The yatakilt alicha (cabbage) was lovely, as was the kayser (beetroot) and kik alicha (yellow lentils), but the shiro was my favourite - delicious flavours! For the meats, the chicken was my favourite with lovely spices, whereas the lamb and beef were a little drier and more firm. The side salad and mild chilli sauce were also great condiments to the meal. The platter was excellent value and also one of the most filling meals I've had this year. Highly recommended.
This was my first experience at the Ethiopian restaurant and I can't wait to go back again!!! The whole dining experience was amazing. The food was so flavourful and I loved how they originally served it.
Great food, well-priced, lovely staff. We had the beef sambosas as starters. Couldn't decide what to get for the mains (because there were so many options), so we ordered the omnivore platter -- just delicious finger licking food! Can't wait to come back again with more guests so we can try the Negus platter (minimum of 4 pax). Definitely worth a visit if you're after some authentic Ethiopian food.
The food was delicious and the service was absolutely wonderful. Our waiter was so friendly and took the time to explain the dishes to us as it was our first time and showed us the traditional way they eat it.
We had the sambosas and peppers as the starters and for mains the chicken, lamb with collard greens, yellow lentils and beetroot dish which were all very tasty. My favourite was the creamy lentils paired with the Injera flat bread. The bread was soft and tender and was slightly tangy.
The honey wine was also sweet and delicious pairing to go with the meal. Would definitely go again and try their other platters!
Had dinner at MESOB tonight, and it was divine! The staff were so lovely, and explained all the food and how to traditionally eat Ethiopian food. There really is something special about eating with your hands! The red lentils were my favourite, the perfect amount of spice! Tender meat, all so full of flavour. Such delicious food that doesn’t leave you feeling bloated and terrible, incredible value, I will definitely be back!
Hands down this is some of the best food in Northcote! The share platter is the way to go and they can cater for different dietary needs. The staff are lovely and very helpful. The food is so delicious and very filling.
Wonderful customer service, delicious food and great value for money.
Most recently ordered the vegetarian platter for two ($23 per person) and was amazed at how much was part of the order.
Thank you Mesob - you are my go-to for Ethiopian food!
Incredible food, incredible service!
Got take away for 4 people. Vego & non vego. Got enough food to feed 8 people.
So delicious, each dish distinctive & thought out.
A great experience all round.
Go support!
Okay, maybe I am biased because I LOVE Ethiopian food.....but, you have to eat here.
The food at Mesob is absolutely brilliant and the staff are always very friendly and helpful. From Northcote, it is quite a drive to the next best Ethiopian food in Melbourne.
I highly recommend supporting this Northcote local - you wont be disappointed. And if you have the time, don't forget to drop into The Bar Next Door (yeah literally) for a drink and to catch some amazing African tunes.
