Mesob Ethiopian Restaurant is proud of our Zagat Recognition of Excellence Rating

The 2011/12 Zagat New Jersey Restaurant Survey will be including Mesob with a Recognition of Excellence for our high food rating. Also rated high were decor and service. The new Zagat Restaurant guide was released yesterday, May 10th.

The review quoted by Zagat on our window sign is taken from reviews from our customers on the Zagat.com survey website -

"Finger food never felt so refined” as at this Montclair Ethiopian BYO where the “exotic,” “made-with-care” specialties can be scooped up with spongy injera bread; “informative” service and a “cool,” “calm,” “high-ceilinged” setting enhanced the “classy: mood at this “nice break from the standard.”

Thanks to all of our diners who submitted Zagat reviews!
