Terrific! – So, while the place isn't the prettiest or the waitstaff the most service-oriented, the food is terrific and really, you go for the food so who cares about the other stuff! I love combining their meat and vegetable combinations on one injera flat bread - so tasty! Only complaint is that we always have to ask for more bread...

Good food, cheap, bad service – The service here is slow as heck, but the food is good, cheap, and comes out fast once you order. I prefer Queen of Sheba for a nice Ethiopian dinner.

Awful Service – I have been to Meskerem many times and last night, we were treated so rudely that I will never return. The waitress and then the manager made us switch tables in the middle of our meal, didn't bring out the sufficient amount of food that 3 orders would have warranted, and then claimed that they had despite the evidence provided by customers seated around us. Though the food was good, the treatment we received (with an international guest who was in NYC for the first time to boot) was uncalled for and extremel... read more

Delectable Ethiopian – The food arrives, heavy with flavor and is poured onto a large circular dish with a cool injeera roti on the bottom. Shared between all members at the table, the large dish also contains a sublime collection of lentils and vegetarian. Yes, the service is a little slower than average but the food has been worth every visit, every time. All of it is good but I have to recommend the meat sambosa, doro wat, tibs wat, yebeg alecha and the whole fish.

Good food! – Except for the sour Injeras (bread), I like this place. The food is great, the wine is good and I always go for the veggie combo. Dont like the somboza too much - I prefer their washington street branch.

User review by catsanddogs – The space and decor aren't much to look at, but the low lighting and ethopian music soften things up and the food is delicious - i always get the vegetarian combo which used to be enough for two people but these days it's a bit smaller and a nice big meal for one.

Worst.Meal.Ever. – I could write a long diatribe about how this restaurant failed to meet expectations, but suffice it to say, as we were walking home, having given leave to our friends, my gf and I struggled to come up with any dining experience which had ever been worse, and we both came to the conclusion that we had just suffered through the worst meal we had ever had.

Don't Go! – This may have been the worst experience I've ever had. The service was so unbelievably slow, even though we were practically the only people in the place. They blamed the slow service on the fact that the dishes we ordered "take a long time to make". Out of their entire wine list, they had maybe two bottles of wine actually available. The food was practically inedible. The bread was a texture I can't even describe. I'll never go back.
