Enkutatash is an important festival in the lives of Ethiopians. After three months of heavy rains the sun comes out creating a beautiful clear fresh atmosphere. The highland fields turn to gold as the Meskal daisies burst into flower. For this reason, Mesob Ethiopian Restaurant will line its floors with grasses and yellow flower petals.

Berekti Mengistu, one of the two Ethiopian sisters who own Mesob, is very excited to celebrate the Ethiopian New Year with family, friends and restaurant patrons. “We want to share just more than Ethiopian food with our community, but also our culture.  That is why one of the happiest festivals is the perfect opportunity to open not only our doors but our menu.”  A sharing of the Ethiopian culture is part of the charm of this eclectic restaurant, located at 515 Bloomfield Avenue in Montclair, NJ.

David Corcoran, in his New York Times restaurant review says, “There is one thing you will certainly not want, and that is to leave.”

The New Year Celebration event and all you can eat buffet event will have seatings at 5, 7 and 9 pm and reservations are required.
