Mesi's Kitchen - London

Why isn 't this restaurant awarded a Michelin Star? It truly deserves more than a perfect rating of 10/5. Ethiopian food is one of my favorite cuisines, and this restaurant serves the most soulful food along with great homemade wine. I tried the Mesi 's combo for one person ; however, the portions were generous enough to satisfy two people..! The aroma and the first bite immediately transport you to Ethiopia :D Every dish had a unique taste and flavor, and even for those who aren 't fond of veggies, this experience will make vegetables your go-to dish. I also loved the chicken and fish dishes. Additionally, the staff was kind and warm! I must say this will be my go-to choice for comfort food all the time. I can 't wait to bring my friends along!

This is extraordinary place. The lady owner is so welcoming and immediately made us feel like at home. We had a late lunch and, due to an odd time, we were the only guests. It added to the experience because we had full attention of the host. The food was so delicious that we cleared each plate before the next one arrived. Even my picky teenage niece commented on how delicious everything was. We shared a meat combo and had fish, which tasted incredible. All the atmosphere is very authentic and recommend this place to everyone. A special thanks to the lady host who shared some interesting anecdotes from her life in Ethiopia. A truly wonderful place!

We had the vegan menu for 2. It was an extraordinary experience. The love and the quality of the food and the way is cooked, it all comes through in the food. Mesi is an amazing host and lovely woman. Thank you! The food is so abundant we couldn’t finish it, so she put it in a box for us! Definitely come and have your food here!

I have been in Mesi’s Kitchen with my partner who is allergic to milk, Mesi was super attentive and advise on what to order. We had a Mesi Mixed Combo prepared separately with no milk on it for my partner. I can say the food in Mesi is one of the best I tried ever !! Soon we will come back to enjoy another of the many dishes from the menu.

We spotted this unassuming restaurant whilst staying with a friend and decided to check it out for Saturday night date night. The service was excellent with a warm welcome and an interesting decor bringing Ethiopia to me. I’ve tried Ethiopian cuisine a couple of times and have enjoyed the communal experience of sharing a plate and eating with my hands. The food when it arrived was delicious and the sourdough flatbread that it was served on was easy to tear and scoop of the various dollops of lentils and vegetables (we’re vegetarian). The price was very reasonable and this is definitely one to come back too.
