Visited here recently and couldn't have been more surprised. The food was great, flavorful and well portioned. The service was great as well. We tried the Lamb Wot and the Gored Gored... couldn't have been better. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

It was my first time coming to this place and it was spacious and clean. It was completely dead around 11pm on Saturday night. We had to buy a bottle to be able to sit in a section, but it took an hour and for me and my friends to leave and come back to get a server to help us out. It looks like a great restaurant with great food but that night didn't impress me at all.

Went there today (Sunday) at 8:30 at night, the restaurant was Empty! This was my first visit, are they out of business? There was another Ethiopian restaurant called 'Desta' about 1 minute down the hill. I went there instead--the good at that place was fine. If 'Meskerem' has gone out of business, then they should alert Google and Yelp. If 'Meskerem' just happened to close 3 hours early, then that is false advertising.

Although it was under construction it is the best Ethiopian in town! It's legit too! I have been eating E food for over 25 years and did extensive study on the food and Luv is the only legit in town. DO NOT GO TO DESTA which is right next door just about. It is not good food, service sucks there too. Make the right choice you won't regret it! LUV IS THE BEST!

My first Ethiopian experience. The food and service were excellent. The server also gave us tips for how to eat it more traditionally and made sure to warn us about heat levels and that the kitfo was raw, so that we knew what to expect - which was super nice of her.

My sister and i visited for the first time and had an amazing time. The bartenders were A+ and the vibes were cool. Definitely will be back!

Nice small African lounge, very cozy and intimate. Good food, pricing is moderate and full bar as well.

Cool vibe. Customer service is great, and the food is pretty good

The food came out extremely slow and there was only 4 people in the restaurant. The server charged a tip on our bill before we even paid. It was entirely rude and the food was subpar. It didn’t taste like traditional Ethiopian or African cuisine, especially the Jollof rice.

Having been to Ethiopia, this is as close as you're going to come with out actually being there.I highly suggest the Gomen (lamb & greens) and my favorite kilkil which is like a lamb stew with Injera ( Ethiopian Bread) If your into the raw stuff the Gored Gored are perfectly seasoned beef, cubed and eaten as is.The service is wonderful the ladies do good at suggesting new plates.

I used to love eating here before the renovations. Now the food taste like there’s no seasoning, and the service quality is horrible, almost as if the hostess and the chef are the same. They also tip themselves and my credit card had fraud activities after visiting this establishment. NEVER returning here again.

It was small. When i called they were charging $40 because Nipsey Hussel was there but we wasnt charged. Im glad because the place was very small and very hot.

This was my first time trying Ethiopian cuisine. The food was great. The water was bad. We received two sets of glasses with debris in them. They finally delivered bottled water. There was something in the ice-bin. The food was great. The service was great, due to it was lunch and we were the only ones in the establishment.

Pleasant atmosphere

I have been eating here for years. The service varies a bit, owing to some servers recently arriving in the USA & the customary language barriers. The food is superb. Be sure & try the house special sauce made from garlic and jalapeño sauce. They serve coffee second only to Octane on Howell Mill. Try the "coffee service". Coffee beans roasted over an open skillet, ground by hand, boiled in a fluted vase-like pot, and served for you. It amounts to a ceremony and something done in traditional Ethiopian homes. The flavor is amazing.
