Meseret Ethiopian Restaurant 3867 Minnehaha Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55406

"We were very surprised by how wonderful the service and food were. We had no frame of reference because this is our first time here. We will definitely come back. The service was top-notch, and they were very accommodating, especially in that they have a 100% teff flour, which is gluten-free. It's a hidden gem. We're definitely coming back!"

"Fantastic food with beautiful cultural artifacts! Stunning food, definitely try the veggie platter! Great first experience to Ethiopian food"

"Came in for some take out on a Saturday night and they were pretty busy but they were still really friendly!! Their pricing is very fair and the food is fantastic. The vegetarian sampler dish will easily serve 2 people and it's really tasty! It was busy on a Saturday night and it seemed like things were somewhat slow in the kitchen but everyone was getting their food if a little slowly. I really recommend this place for a sit down meal, you'll just have to be patient if it's busy."

"Best Veggie Combo in the area! So good! Also loved our beef dish with egg. We came in for a group of 7 and the service was great. The owner is gracious and welcoming. We have been here several times and have recommended it to our friends."

"If you want to enjoy the food here, right-size your expectations. Be ready to wait and pay more than what's on the menu. The service was slow. We were the only folks dining in at the time and it took 40 minutes from ordering to getting our food. We saw two to-go pick up orders during the time we were there. It was the owner and two workers helping her so likely understaffed, which is not unusual during the pandemic. We were charged $2 more per dish than what was on the menu. I understand if there is a need to increase prices, especially during the pandemic, but update the menu, even if that means putting stickers with the correct price over the old price. Or at minimum, give customers a heads up when taking orders that the prices are higher than what's on the menu. We were going to order the chicken wings and fries for the kids. They didn't have chicken wings (no problem!) so we opted for just fries. We were charged $9.99 for only fries, which was the menu price for 8 chicken wings and fries. The food was decent (except the soggy fries), although I have had better at other Ethiopian restaurants in the Twin Cities. It's not horrible if you go in knowing the wait time and the fact that prices will be higher than stated on the menu. I understand the long wait time, considering they and many other restaurants are short-staffed right now. I understand the need for increased prices. I understand the supply chain issues so why they might not have what's on the menu. Go in with the right expectations We were caught off guard by the higher prices so left with a figurative bad taste in our mouths."
