    The restaurant is easy to reach and to spot. Very nice atmosphere, the place is quite small and I would recommend to reserve your table. The service was friendly and we received a very warm welcome. Even if it is your first time at an Eritrean restaurant, they will suggest you were to start from. They have 6 tasting menus so for you to try a bit more. Reasonable prices, would definitely recommend a visit!! 5 stars!

    This was our first experience with Eritrean and Ethiopian cuisine and the bar has been set quite high. Loved our experience at Mosob. The booking process was easy and fast. The staff was super welcoming and friendly, accommodating to our seating preferences. For starters, we had the vegetable sambosa which was really tasty. For mains, we shared the Asmara platter for 3 people which was a massive portion and definitely more than enough. It was really flavorful and full of different options including beef stew, shredded lamb, spinach, vegetables, boiled egg, and my favorite was the chicken stew. Highly recommended!

    This is on the top of our list - the flavors and smell of the food can transport you to Eritrea. It's a feast of flavors and spices. We've been here many times and it doesn't disappoint. The service, ambience, food portions are great. Tip: dishes are eaten by hands. Request for utensils of you want.

    I had a great time eating our Ethiopians and Eritrea delicious food at your restaurant the waiters are amazing and were friendly the atmosphere was awesome I defiantly like that you have a combination of modern and our Ethiopian and Eritrea cultural style. Most importantly, food and drinks on your menu tasted great specially ( dulet ketfo and awazia tebse).!!

    Food is really good. Service is ok. Eritrean food is really good for Vegetarians and this place does not disappoint. It was very tasty. It's quite similar to Indian food. I would definitely go back! I was surprised with their lack of flexibility. We went for the set menu because of the variety. We wanted to swap one of the main dishes and were told no. The set menu came with a dessert. We wanted to try one of the other desserts which was 50p more expensive and were told it was not possible. We even said we were prepared to pay 50p extra but were told that it was not possible to put it through the till.

    Wow, Eritrean food with designated vegan options. A dream location. The portions are huge, we took the vegan selection that's to share for two. With an extra main and a starter it was perfectly filling for 4 people. Even if one of them wasn't super hungry, it's still will be dinner-filling for three, so don't get trapped into ordering more! Top it up with the coffee ceremony (with popcorn). Booking advisable! Or come early —we came 6.30 is and luckily got a table for four, from 7.30 the place was full.

    Delicious Food and the best Service ever. They are friendly and helpful. We had the eritrean bruschetta. That‘s a dehydrated bread with tomato, onion and pepper. Afterwards we took the Second menu for two people. We couldnt finish it. it was excellent. We didnt try the desserts, although they sounded delicious and were mainly italian influenced. This is because of the history.

    super fresh injera, not as many portions as we’re use to but all really yummy! we got the veggie platter for 2 which was a bit expensive compared to everywhere else we’ve gone but it came with 2 appetizers & service was attentive which is rare to come across. definitely worth a try!

    Partner and myself love this restaurant. Never knew Eritrean cuisine and was intrigued. The best is the injera filled with spiced ghee and chilli. We had been to well known ethiopian and nigerian restaurant but this place's injera is the best. Chicken stew consists of just one small piece of chicken drumstick though although it tastes good. Wish it was spicier. We had fish stew which was an outrageous amount of fish so it kind of balanced the lack of chicken. Service was great and such a lovely comfortable atmosphere.

    First time trying Eritrean food but I was so happy to have stumbled upon this restaurant. The server was so informative about the dishes and helped us decide what to order, and the service was really friendly. Highly recommend

  • 5/5 Chloe 1 year ago on Google
    This is the first time I've tried Eritrean food - it was amazing! I didn't know anything about the food, so I asked a staff and she recommended lamb and vegetables, which was a really good choice! And authentic beer went well with the food.

  • 5/5 Sarah W. 7 months ago on Google
    Wonderful dining experience! As a lover of Ethiopian food, I was really excited to try Eritrean cuisine. It was phenomenal! Everyone in our group really loved it. If you're thinking about it--just do it!

  • 5/5 Gøran E. 11 months ago on Google
    Excellent food and service. Perfect if you want to try Eritrean cuisine or simply just grab a fantastic meal.

  • 5/5 Mitali J. 1 year ago on Google
    Outstanding food and service! Although the ambience can be a little better. We went for the Ethiopian vegetarian platter and it was delicious.

  • 5/5 Nikkita M. 7 years ago on Google
    We went to Mosob for my dad's birthday a few days ago. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with African artefacts. The food is delicious - traditional Eritrean food served in a big platter in the centre of the table (if you order the set meals - which I recommend). We had a mixed group of Vegans, Vegetarians and Meat Eaters and all were catered for wonderfully well. The team at the restaurant were absolutely lovely as well which made it the perfect experience. Thanks especially to Henry who really looked after us well!

    Had an amazing evening in Mosob on Friday night with my friends & family. Great atmosphere for a calm family evening. The host & hostess were very friendly and welcoming. And most importantly delicious food, best Eritrean food I’ve had so far in London. Thank you to The Mosob staff & crew.
