A Greenwich Village fixture since the 2000s, this intimate subterranean restaurant delivers some of New York's most authentic and celebrated Ethiopian cuisine, with diners consistently praising the tender Tibs Wat, generously portioned combination platters, and the communal hand-eating experience that transforms dinner into a memorable cultural event. The cozy underground space buzzes with Ethiopian music and warm hospitality, making it equally suited for first-time visitors discovering the cuisine or longtime devotees returning for the reliably fresh, flavorful dishes and gracious service.
Reviewers consistently praise Meskerem's generous portions, fresh ingredients, and standout dishes including Tibs Wat, Gomen Beseaga, and the crispy, sour injera, with multiple guests highlighting excellent service and warm hospitality in a cozy Village location. The restaurant draws repeat visitors and is recommended for first-timers to Ethiopian cuisine, though one reviewer noted the restroom and decor could be cleaner and more polished. Reviewers also appreciate the gluten-free teff injera availability and the reasonable pricing relative to portion sizes.
