Green star Meskel (Central District)

2605 E Cherry St
Seattle, WA 98122
(206) 860-1724
Website

Flavors burn a little brighter at Meskel, and the menu extends beyond the standard wots (stews rich in berbere, an Ethiopian chile-based spice blend), tibbs (cubed-meat sautes), and veggie combos—there always seems to be something special simmering in the kitchen. And here the injera isn't just a floppy, edible utensil, but a lively flavor unto itself, lending a cool, pleasantly sour counterpoint to all the slow-cooked stews. Also, for summertime: outdoor seating!

Fresh and very tasty

I have had 3 meals at Meskel Restaurant.

The food was fresh and very tasty.

The service was excellent and my entree was only $12.00.

I highly reccommend this restaurant.

Great Service, Great Food

I love this place! My Ethiopian friend took me, because it's her favorite and what she thinks is the most authentic. There's always room, and parking on the street!

Sooo tasty!

I love this place. It's reasonably priced, great food, friendly service, open late (ish) and they have a nice deck for lingering.

Check out the deck!

Meskel is my favorite Ethiopian in town, and that's saying a lot with the stiff competition in the neighborhood. And they've got a lovely deck for late summer dinners.

Best Ethiopian around..

Seriously, I've been to a few of the other places, and this is the one place I go back to time and again. Their veggie combo is the perfect starting point for those of us who want to add some meat and the perfect end point for those of us who don't.
