    Like the new tastes? You should 100% try this Ethiopian restaurant. After dinner, don't forget to get your coffee along with the popcorns. This is the tradition!

    Service was excellent as well as the food, it was more of a dining experience then just dinner. The staff took us on a journey and we had so much fun.

    Really good Eritrean / Ethiopian restaurant. Much better than the examples you find at street markets! A great place to enjoy vegan food - have the mixed plate to enjoy a little of the best dishes.

    Our favourite Ethiopian & Eritrean restaurant in London. And after a long pandemic closure it is open again! Delicious food and wonderful people running it. A great dinner experience.

    Extremely friendly staff. Worth coming all the way. The set menu is enough for two. Recommend: Adi Ugri set as shown in the picture. Must try Tusker Kenyan beer and freshly brewed Eritrean coffee. :D

    The food, the staff and the experience were excellent. We were met with a smile and a relaxed homely atmosphere. The food was delicious and the service great in an informal way.

    A great experience. Dishes on the menu are served on a platter of Injera, to be shared amongst the group on one plate to mark the bond of friendship. Full review: https://tmblr.co/Znpk9v23yfscr

    The owner is so friendly and really tries to help you out with the food if you are a "newcomer" with Ethiopian food. Bear in mind: the set menu's for two are quite large!

    Friendliest bunch of people I have ever met in a London restaurant. Had the Assab veggie set menu; loved the spinach rolls. Highly recommended and I can see Mosob becoming a regular habit.

    Excellent Eritrean food and friendly staff. Eat like the natives and order the raw kitfo. Large portions served on delicious injera.

    "Eritrean restaurant in Paddington. Similar to Ethiopian food (sharer plate, injera bread, eating by hand), although the food was spicier than most Ethiopian places I've been to." - http://qr.ae/pW8W2

    If you go in a group, Ben the Owner will suggest that you go for a set meal + a main to get more variety. A recommendation worth going with!

    The service was very slow but when the food arrived, it was a delight to finish the plate. Very flavourful dishes. Minced beef and lamb were the standout dishes.
