A delightful
experience of flavours
The cuisine consists of an array of vegetarian and vegan food along with our traditional meat options.
All dishes are served on enormous trays lined with injera – a large sourdough flatbread made out of fermented flour - accompanied by flavourful stews and can include lamb, beef, chicken, vegetables and various legumes, such as beans and lentils. We also offer Teff injera, made of an ancient grain dating back to 4000 BC, which is gluten free.
To compliment the delicious flavours, we offer beer, traditional coffee, and honey wine all directly from Ethiopia.

'London’s best vegetarian restaurants (that will appeal to meat eaters too)'
"Like the sadly now closed (and much-missed) Chapati Club, Mesi’s Kitchen is female lead, family run and rooted in a cuisine rich in vegetarian and vegan dishes. The vegetarian combos — various pulses or vegetables simmered or sauteed in Mesi’s array of spice blends, served on a huge homemade teff injera — are prepared with as much pride and generosity as she does her meat versions. That tangy, tearable flatbread will sate all but the fiercest appetites, so starters might be moot. Still... Mesi’s Ethiopian hummus, and her sambusas (crisp pastry pockets stuffed with lightly spiced onions and lentils) are hard to swerve. Mesi, the restaurant’s eponymous and elegant owner, is a feeder: I live a five-minute walk away from her kitchen and not once have I left without contemplating an Uber home."
Mesi's Kitchen Restaurant Reviews
"Fabulous food and great atmosphere...the service was top notch as well. Went two nights in a row with family & friend (first time to test Ethiopian food) and both times were a wonderful experience with delicious food! The best Ethiopian restaurant around"
A tiny cosy warm restaurant with outstanding food. Mesi is such a warm friendly person who runs this divine Ethiopian restaurant. We tried the non veg and veg platter and both were fantastic. Each item on the platter was full of flavour, quantities were generous. A family of four can easy share a single platter. The injera, lentils, meat, chicken, beans all cooked to perfection. Don’t be put off by the humble looking picture of the restaurant on the Internet. You will not be disappointed at this lovely place.
A truly incredible find! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, making for a perfect dining experience. Every dish we tried
was bursting with authentic flavors and clearly made with so much care.
The service was also top-notch – friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. It's clear that the staff takes pride in their food and their restaurant. We left feeling completely satisfied and already planning our next visit. If you're looking for an authentic, delicious, and memorable
Ethiopian meal, then, this Ethiopian Restaurant is an absolute must-visit!
