Been here twice. The staff is friendly but still professional and the food is superb. There is an immense beer selection. What more could one ask for?

If you are interested in trying something unique this is the place to go. The Ethiopian food is unlike most kinds of food I've been trying.The food is spicy but not overwhelming. The custom of eating with your hands can be difficult to master but give it a try! Be sure to have the mix menue on one big plate... More

The first time I went here I was honestly quite disappointed. However, I gave it another try and the Ethopian cuisine really grows on you. Also, the setting is very cozy and the service is excellent.

This restaurant is among my favourites. Even though I am a student and short of cash I eat here regularly. I've eaten here many times with different people and everybody has loved it. The service is great and the owner is very nice. I like that you are supposed to eat without fork and knife, if you'd like of course.... More

This was easily THE worst tasting food and rudest service I've ever experienced anywhere. Will not return and would not recommend it to anyone.

I have been to Messob once and these are my thoughts: - The service is great, they are all very friendly - It's central - Prices are VERY good - The food is well prepared - Nice restaurant with cozy atmosphere But. It didn't like the food. It's not the restaurant's... More

We've been at Messob few times already and consider it the best restaurant in Uppsala. Very warm service and atmosphere, food is great - african spices make simple ingredients tast exotic. Everything is served with african bread which is delicious but fills your stomache very quickly)) Definetely recommended!

Intrigued by African food and happy to find a wide range of vegetarian dishes I was eager to try Messob. The food came quickly and was served on and with bread - forks were optional :) The staff was friendly and service was quick, the wide range of African beers made for some interesting tasting. The restaurant was large and... More
