After a hot-long-day of playing tourist in London, we decided to eat Ethiopian food per my…read morebrother-in-laws request . Not knowing where to go, we asked our friend "Yelp" to recommended a highly rated place...so we ended up at Mosob. The restaurant is decorated with artifacts from Ethiopia. It has two rooms, one with a regular dinner table and another room with traditional table (shorter table almost close to the ground) if you want the full experience. They serve different sets of trays, with choice of meat (lamb, beef or chicken) and vegetables. Each sets comes with 2 sets of rolls and 2 types of dips for the rolls. The trays are served on different sizes depending on your group size. Some of our orders came with their house salad with really good dressing, but I'm not sure if it came with the tray. If you want your food spicy, you have options to include that with your food. I also ordered their St. Michael's beer and it was a refreshing and perfect pair for my dinner. The service in this restaurant is amazing! The owner, Ben, gave us the introduction of what kind of food they serve. He was such an excellent host and that made our experience extra special. He showed the kids how to write their names in his Eritrean language and asked the kids to draw something for him so he can put it on his wall. That definitely entertained them while waiting for our food. I'm extra thankful of him for being quick on his feet when my daughter had an accident, hitting her head, while we were eating our dinner. If I'm going back to London, I'll make sure to stop by in this restaurant. Great food, good host= great experience.

When we walked in....this dog lover seen a dog an was excited so I didn't realize the smell that the other two people I was with notice right away. It was a strange smell....that I can't put my nail on. After the dog lover excitement wore off I definitely smelt it. Fast forward we were not able to sit in as the owner stated she was going to close in an hour and 30 minutes and you could only do take away at that time. Was not happy about that but just went along with it. Placed out orders for a veggie platter and made sure the injera was gluten free. Walked next door to take a look while she was preparing our food for take away. Came back and the food was packed and ready. Oh and just a heads up they do take card and cash. If you have a US card her machine does take it even if she states she doesn't think it will. I did it and she was shocked lol. Food is packed and we leave. After getting back to our rooms and opening the food...that smell I was speaking about in the beginning we can all smell again. It was a unbearable smell that made it extremely difficult to eat the food. I was able to eat the injera and it really smelled and taste (maybe in my head) like the smell. I ate the veggies and even though it had a slight smell I was able to complete that but the injera was a BIG NO! All in all we could not figure out the smell. The owner was a sweet lady, but I wished she wouldn't have told us to take away as it took away from the experience. I wish I was able to give 5 stars like most folks...but I have to be honest with my experience.

Kokeb is the perfect example of a spot I would have never found without Yelp! Lost in the middle of an unknown neighbourhood (at least to me), Kokeb's street isn't precisely the busiest when it comes to restaurants. 18 amazing reviews and great Yelper pictures convinced me...and oh my this was a great lunch. I wanted to go for the lamb but Genetesh advised me to pick the N°21, "Spicy" beef with 1 injera and a local ethiopian beer to get it all down...perfect combo. Kokeb is all-in-one. Excellent ethiopian food comes together with the local decor & music...and Genetesh is there help you feel welcome, relaxed, at home...she'll also help you out if this is your first ethiopian experience (bye bye fork, hello right hand). A family run business with great taste & heart, and I love that.
