Good place at glasgow i love the ambience and after all that was a great experience

Believe it or not It was a good restaurant. Their service is outstanding. There guy called Hasheem, his servise was world class. I really love his service.

The service was incredibly slow, 2.5 hours to be exact, don’t go here for lunches. The server was quite demanding, telling folk to eat more and how to eat. Recommended dishes is fine but it was overkill and controlling. The food itself was okay, the lamb samosa were nice. However the vegan dishes were practically inedible. The pancake tasted like vinegar and the lentils could only be eaten with the kale or else both were inedible. The venue is nice and clean, which was evident by the man mopping the floors with bleach while folk ate. Not sure that’s really appropriate. It could be it wasn’t for my palette I can’t recommend.

Service and staff were very helpful and friendly

Went here with a friend for lunch. Got a mixed platter. Two meat dishes, lamb zigni and chicken spree, and a few vegetarian dishes, Misir, Alicia. This is all served in bowls on top of injera(A homemade flat spongy bread) that you dump the contents of the bowl on and eat with your hands. The flavours here are delicious and fresh. Everything was tasty and enjoyable, and also something a bit diffrent too. The stand outs were the lamb zigni, which is so rich and morish you could sit and eat that until they threw you out. The Misir was also incredibly flavourful, especially for a vegetarian dish, as sometimes little effort is made preparing them, this is not the case here and you can appreciate they put as much love into both menus. We finished off with the coffee, which is both made and served in thier own unique way and was a great way to end the meal. The staff were friendly and helpful, making great recommendations to have with our meal. Cant wait to go back.

First time I taste African food,it very delicious and amazing.

Amazing food, love that they have so many vegan options. The waiter was so friendly and we really appreciated him teaching us how to eat the food with the injera. We will 100% be back many times!

A great place for a group to eat out; I have been twice now and loved it! Delicious food, great flavours and not too spicy (some not spicy at all). The staff are friendly hosts and it’s a relaxed atmosphere. We were a group of nine, half vegetarians. We got starters, beer, a large shared platter with three mains added with it - all shared between five and it was plenty. The meat eaters did the same - more than enough food. We ended with delicious roasted-on-site traditional coffee and spiced tea. We spent a relaxed 3-4 hours, pleasant atmosphere and not too noisy so you could enjoy conversation and we were placed under no hurry to leave. Such a treasure to find for a different chilled night out - easy option for a large group. Ask for help if you’re not sure on ordering, and it was reasonable price too. I’ll be back for the delicious vegan/veggie food and to try the honey mead next time!

This is a really lovely restaurant! A hidden gem, tucked away a little, where the atmosphere is lovely and the staff are really friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The food was really delicious, and the portions were just right. Really good value for money. I can highly recommend!

This was my first of Ethiopian food. I had the vegan platter. It was great. It included a lentil dish, a chickpea dish, a carrot and potato dish ana a kale dish and was served with injera ,(flatbread). I enjoyed all the different dishes (and I'm not vegan)! The spices were delicate and not overpowering The service was good and the place was well decorated. The meal was very reasonably priced and filling

Absolutely delicious! Shared the vegan platter for 2 and was really flavourful and filling. Service friendly and good value aswell.

I visited Mesob on an unassuming Thursday afternoon, arriving just as they opened. The staff immediately seated, greeted, and served me with exceptional care. While Ethiopian dining typically caters to groups, making it challenging to order for one person, the staff provided excellent recommendations. I tried their vegan platter and meat sambusas, and both dishes were outstanding!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ This was hands down my favorite meal in Glasgow.

This was my first time trying East African food, it couldn’t have been better! I was a bit unsure what vegan / vegetarian options would be available, but I was so pleasantly surprised by the amazing range of dishes available. The servers were fantastic – incredibly patient, happy to explain the dishes and how best to enjoy them. I highly recommend trying the platters (vegan platter pictured) for a little taste of everything – such a great way to explore the menu and determine your favourites for your next visit! I also recommend trying the homemade mead, it was delicious and very unique! The pricing is very reasonable considering the excellent quality and service, the atmosphere and decor are so warm and inviting – this place truly is a hidden gem. I would definitely recommend!

Wow, incredible food, friendly service, great atmosphere. Can't wait to come back and bring friends

Excellent food, friendly service and good value. Will definitely be back again.

The best meal I’ve had in Glasgow (and I’ve had a lot of great meals). We had a meat platter and vegan platter, and shared beers between 4 and it came to £100 so it’s great value for money. The food is brilliant, and the service is friendly and efficient. In an unassuming but handy location. The restaurant is a wee but cold so take sure you wrap up!

Outstanding food which is a stone throw to Queen St Station. Never had Eritrean/ Ethiopian food before but it was nutritious and delicious. Highly recommend you try it if in Glasgow City Centre

This place was fantastic in every way. Their sticky toffee pudding still calls to me from across the sea.

Thanks for a lovely meal & making us feel so welcome & for making our sons birthday meal special, thoroughly enjoyed ourselves & staff were amazing

Really tasty food! Super nice atmosphere and really good service, this was our 3rd time going to Mosob & it’s one of my favourite places ever!! I would definitely recommend getting there platters which is so worth the money you get a selection and different variety of meats and also available for vegetarian options too 💗

Amazing food and amazing coffee, you gotta try it!

Food: Flavours are nothing new, very close to any Indian, Chinese and other Mediterranean cuisines you may have tried up to this point. Maybe it was the food we ordered though, I will try something different in the future! The concept of eating using only hands, not even the spoon provided was interesting, will ignore it in the future though as it was too messy. Service: Service was great, but they forgot a couple of stuff like napkins or the tea and was pretty obvious the server responsible for our table didn't want to be there. Atmosphere: Employees were friendly, the place was darker than expected from a restaurant, possibly because it functions as a bar too, but at 4-5pm with the main function of restaurant a bit of light would be appreciated!

Hidden Gem so close to the Glasgow Central station. The staff were so genuine and welcoming. Daniel especially was amazing, he suggested we try the "Mitmita" -powdered seasoning mix with bird's eye chilli peppers.. ooof!! Adding it to all the dishes made it 1000 times better. Fair warning, mitmita is not for the faint hearted who can't take spice. The aroma of roasted fresh green coffee beans, brought to you was rather special!! 😌 The Ethiopian Honey wine Tej was awesome too!! Definitely, recommend this place!!!

Food was great, it arrived quickly and everything we ordered was delicious. The only reason this isn’t a 5 star review is that we were put under a lot of pressure by waiting staff to pay by cash, even after we’d checked that card was ok. I understand that cash might be their preference, but it doesn’t feel appropriate to hassle customers this way. We really enjoyed the meal otherwise though.

Went with some friends before a movie and had a really enjoyable meal. We ordered the mixed platter and shared between 4 people. Each of the stews were delicious and easily shared and the injira was also lovely. We were able to share it and created a really nice environment. We also got some of the meat sambusa and those were very similar to those of my grandmothers and so very enjoyable

Vegan platter is delicious and great value, lovely smell of roasted coffee in the dining room. Recommend the house made mead!

Wonderful food, wonderful staff, immaculate vibes. ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥🤪 funky beer.

A must-visit in Glasgow! Such an incredible restaurant! The interior is gorgeous, the staff are extremely friendly with a clear, burning passion for Mosob and, on top of all that, the food is delicious! We tried: • Meat sambusas • Chicken tibsi (mild) • Lamb alicha • Lentil ades (mild) All main dishes came with 1 injera included in the menu price. Our server was corteous enough to advise us of this which helped us to avoid over-ordering. Every dish arrived to the table piping hot and bursting with flavour! We genuinely could not fault one dish and I would absolutely return to re-order this exact set. Our server also kindly took the time to explain how to enjoy our dishes and the cultural significance behind the method too which made the dining experience all the more special! I will undoubtedly be recommending Mosob to anyone & everyone and will most certainly return to dine here again! 🌟

First class restaurant. Food is exceptional, staff are great and prices very reasonable. Would highly recommend.

What an awesome meal. Finger licking good! Friendly staff. This place is a must.

Love Mosob, it’s situated on the first floor, a stone’s throw away from Glasgow Queen Street. The restaurant is large and airy, which gives it a calm atmosphere. Service is friendly, albeit a little on the slow side. The food is excellent, and definitely worth the money. It’s a place that my wife and I consistently go to whenever we visit Glasgow

The best restaurant in Glasgow without a doubt. Lots of tasty and healthy food. If you have problems with the spiciness, let us know and the waiters will fix it right away. Very friendly staff. Quite an experience! Recommend ordering the large plate to share.

Been craving for Ethiopian cuisine for some time now. Found this place & jumped at the opportunity to eat doro wat & injera. Delicious food but probably not for the average person who doesn't eat spicy food frequently. Southeast Asians will be able to handle the spice well. Service is friendly & genuine. Sensing that I may be unfamiliar with the cuisine, the wait staff taught me how to enjoy the dish in an optimal way, with hands.

Great food. Friendly and efficient staff.

Incredible food, the best coffee I have ever had, tremendous value for money, and the friendliest, most informative and helpful server, in a quiet and ambient setting in the centre of the city. Just wonderful in every possible way.

Lovely place. Great food, great atmosphere, relaxed vibe. Very much the real deal. Thank you! 🫶

Delicious, plentiful and reasonable

The best choice! A different environment with exceptional service. Each dish has a different story and they explain everything. If you're lucky, you might see a birthday being celebrated there.

My favourite restaurant in Glasgow! The food is 10/10 and the staff are the friendliest, helpful and engaging staff I’ve ever encountered in a restaurant. Honestly this place is the best of the best!

Wonderfull food and good experience.

Simply one of my favourite places in Glasgow. The food is outstanding and the staff can never do too much! Huge reccomend.

Excellent food! Also gluten-free vegan platter is delicious.

Positives: +Vegan options🥳. +Welcoming atmosphere (decor, lovely background music, staff, and fellow diners). +Staff were presentable and had great people skills. They also told us the proper way of eating the vegan platter - great advice which improved the dining experience 👍. +Presentable restaurant. +Lovely food, we both enjoyed the vegan platter; it was very filling and we liked all the options (the Shiro was our favourite). +Speciality wine went down well (they also offer specialty beer and coffee). +Generous quantities - great value. -Latest update; had to downgrade the service star rating, it was very slow today at lunchtime. +Update: on my second visit I did not experience any of the negatives I experienced first time (i.e. the service was quick and efficient, and still friendly. And the gluten-free injera was ready👍) Also the ceremony coffee was great; smooth and powerful.+ Overall, a nice experience; I do recommend visiting and will be back. Tips for fellow diners: 1) Call the day before, or earlier same day, to remind them of your gluten-free needs to save a very long wait (if they have forgotten; insist on rice instead). 2) "Serves 3-4 people" really does mean what it says in this restaurant, recommend ordering smaller if there are only 2 of you as you will definitely be full afterwards; you will get your money's worth, it is indeed great value, especially in these times.

Food was great with informative staff and fantastic coffee. Will be back 👍

Tasty food. The lamb stew in the mixed platter for 2 was exceptional, although a bit spicy. I do enjoy the spice, but if you don't, you may wanna avoid that.

Ordered the vegan platter for 2, so tasty, generous portion size and value for money. Really nice staff who gave us lots of info on the food.

Really enjoyed the atmosphere - the server taught us how to eat the sharing platter the Ethiopian way which was very fun and authentic. Server was lovely and really enjoyed our meal.

Very nice atmosphere and staff. Food great

Stunning food! They have great options for vegans. Glasgow is better with Mosob in it. The restaurant is so cosy as well. You wouldn’t think that from looking at it from the outside but the interior upstairs is gorgeous. I highly recommend this place.

Great meal and amazing hospitality

Definitely my new favourite restaurant. So many vegan options but recommend the vegan platter and the sambusa. Food arrived really quickly. Staff were extremely friendly and welcoming and explained the best way to eat the food. There was a nice atmosphere with ambient music and lighting. It was such a fun and different experience to what I'm used to and actually can't wait to come back!!

Quite simply a delight. That was my first but not last Ethiopian/Eritrean meal. Lovely flavour combinations served by lovely people. What more could you want? The coffee to finish was pretty special too.

Honestly this might have been the best Ethiopian food I’ve had so far!!! My wife liked it, but she said she’s staying loyal to our go-to place in San Francisco.

Great food, even better staff. Recommended indeed.

Everything was very delicious. Normally wouldn‘t rate and Restaurants, but this food needs to be rated 5 stars.

Reasonable price, great food, great happy birthday tune

Really delicious food, great gluten free options (pretty much the whole menu!) And vegan options

The vegan platter here did not disappoint. So delicious and lets you experience a variety of stews. Would 100% recommend it. The best stew was ades. Food is served in an aesthetic manner jn nice baskets also. Would definitely eat here again. The vegan sambousek filling was also delicious but the deep fried pastry is very rich, and if you do not like the flavour of deep fried pastry would not get that

Authentic and delicious Ethiopian food served by a caring staff is what you will find here. The spices and meats are as authentic as if you were in Ethiopia enjoying a meal in someone’s home. Prices are fair and service is speedy.

I've seen all the Ethiopian andEritrean places in Glasgow but this place is the best so far, great reception, welcoming service and Great food. As a suggestion on the meal that i had today the quanta firfir wasn't that nice, i think the problem was the injera rather than that keep up the good work and i will come again soon.

The meat quality was low. The lamb had bones and the beef had a lot of hard to eat cartilage. The flavors were ok but not amazing as others had said. The fermented pancake was extremely sour. I wouldn’t recommend.

Would have been a 5 if portion size was little bit bigger in line with price tag. Nevertheless, worth to visit thanks to the concept.

Very tasty 'hands-on' food! Coffee afterwards is also recommended! Tip: Ask whether the dish in question is spicy. If in doubt, use something mild or add cream cheese.

Delicious. Very friendly and happy to help in choosing the food. Also great they are happy to make milder versions (which I need). I had never had this food before and it’s one of the nicest things I’ve eaten in ages. I like the atmosphere because it is spacious, relaxed and I like African music. The traditional tea goes well with the food.

Excellent Ethiopian restaurant near the stations. We had a meal for two with meats and vegetables in 5 plates and a spiced tea. A treat

Great find. Brilliant interesting tasty food offering really good value. Loved it thank you.

Mosob was a fantastic experience! The vegan platter was delicious, full of flavour and beautifully presented. The staff were incredibly welcoming, making us feel right at home. The traditional coffee ceremony was a lovely touch, adding to the authentic atmosphere. Mosob is a must-visit!

I had the small, mild, vegan platter and spiced tea. Daniel the waiter was charming. He showed me the proper way to eat the food. It was all utterly delicious. Just the right amount for me to feel full without being uncomfortably stuffed. It was a quiet time, and I was served in a relaxed and efficient manner. Great vegan selection, clearly marked on the menu. I will definitely come here again when I need to eat in Glasgow. So convenient for Queen Street station too. Thank you to Daniel and the Mosob team for a very positive visit 🙏🏼💕

Tibes. It's always in the tibes 🤣😂

Probably our favourite restaurant in Glasgow. Food is always so fresh and full of flavour. Staff are wonderful too. Fantastic 'naturally' vegan options too, especially the vegan platter.

I come here often with my partner, and every time we are consistently impressed with the quality of the bountiful vegan options on offer. Particular favourites are the platter, the fit-fit and the potato stew!! It took us a long time to come across this place, a real hidden gem which has made me question how East African cuisine is not more popular. We do find that the waiters are very forward regarding the preferred method for eating with injera (tipping all food out of bowls onto the bread) when we explain we don't like to do this. Personally, we prefer not to as we find it makes sharing far more difficult and compromises the structural integrity of the injera. Instead, we scoop with the injera while the dishes remain in the bowls. It may not be the most authentic method and mean no disrespect, but we find it is easier and more enjoyable for us personally. Other than this small point, we cannot speak more positively of Mosob. The staff, including the head chef, are always very attentive and friendly, stopping by often to check on our experience.

Good food experience with vegan options and kind personal.

Went twice in the span of 72 hours because it was THAT good!! The atmosphere is amazing and the food is even better. Super vegan friendly options that are rich in flavor. The Ethiopian coffee is a whole experience where they give you incense and some popcorn to snack on, super cool. Overall please come to this if you want to try Ethiopian food because it’s a great place to start!

Eritrea Restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience that combines warm hospitality with delicious, authentic cuisine. The flavors are vibrant and true to Eritrean tradition, with dishes like the spicy Zigni and the perfectly seasoned Injera stealing the show. The staff are friendly and attentive, making you feel welcome from the moment you step in. Whether you're new to Eritrean food or a longtime fan, this restaurant is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy flavorful and satisfying meals in a cozy, inviting atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Didn't enjoy food at all the waitress I found was not sure what she was doing ..wanted us to pay cash not card was shocked..very suspicious..wouldn't go back

We tried the meat platter and it was amazing! Highly recommended

Wow. What a gem of a find. The food was absolutely outstanding. Service very good. Can’t fault it at all. Looking forward to going back again.

Wholesome food. Tastes homemade and ingredients are fresh and great quality. Highly recommended.

Delicious food and delightful people. This is the best Ethiopian/Etreaan food I've had. Fresh, tasty, honest and plentiful. Great atmosphere as well, a vast hall that transported us out of a rainy afternoon and into East Africa. 😃 Highly recommended. A sharing platter for two is a lot of food.

Absolutely amazing food and caring hospitality. Very different experience, I'll be going again ❤️

Excellent food and incredibly nice staff. My daughter's food was very spicy - too spicy for her. Without being asked, they brought her a new dish, this time a little milder and with additional cream cheese. Absolute tip for Glasgow!

We like Ethiopian food, came here as the rating was good and were glad that we made that decision. It's not easy to find good Ethiopian food like this in Europe.

The restaurant is characteristic and spacious, the staff very kind and warm, both the waiters and the cook served us with a special welcome, succulent dishes of traditional Eritrean cuisine prepared on the spot: highly recommended and, moreover, also economical for the quality of the food and the service. Finally, a nice surprise was the lovely chat with the cook about the secret ingredient of the sambusa sauce (which I guessed but can't reveal...!) and the greeting to Daniel, a lovely waiter! We couldn't say goodbye to Glasgow in a better place than Mosob!

Really amazing food. Definitely visit if you are in this city! We ate there for lunch. We had the vegan platter. Really great!

Passing Glasgow and we tried this place. We tried the vegetarian platter and it was amazing! I totally recommend it!

It was our first time visiting this restaurant. The food is spectacular, great portions and so tasty. The sharing platters are excellent and terrific value. The staff are helpful and so welcoming. We will be back really soon. Thanks again for the great evening.

Superb meal at Mosob tonight. Plenty of delicious choices on the menu. I eat plant-based and my daughter doesn't - there were great selections for both of us. Staff are helpful, friendly and attentive. Prices are very reasonable and portions are large. Meals are cooked with fresh ingredients. Restaurant is much bigger than you think and very spacious inside.

Delicious and interesting, with helpful and friendly staff. My first time eating Ethiopian food, the server was patient and explained things to our group. Eating by hand, drinking mead, smelling the incense from across the room, it was a fabulous experience.

Amazing place to eat , I tried Ethiopian food for the first time and was quite literally blown away by how good it tasted. I got the Vegan platter and Mead , so if you are looking for vegetarian/vegan options , a must try. Bonus the servers are super sweet.

My second visit to Mosob, this time only to pick up injera (!), but again impressed by the warmth of the staff. I'd recommend anyone in Glasgow to give the boring, tried and tested a miss, come here and taste fantastic cuisine, and a culinary experience that's unsurpassed in Scotland.

Great food, big quantity, would recommend

I had the vegan platter which was nice but my friend's lamb was very dry and chewy. We both had tummy aches after. The service was fairly slow; had to wait 30 min for a pot of tea.

BEST VEGAN FOOD IN TOWN, I always take here all my friends and family that come visiting me in Glasgow. The vegan Injera Platter has the most simple yet delicious vegan food you could ask for! You get to try Ethiopian cuisine which is different from your classic dining experience. When you taste their food, it’ll feel like a home made meal (simple, heartwarming, delicious) I hope this place will never close and it’s probably the main thing I will be missing when I will move out of Glasgow. Prices are also really affordable. Thank you for offering such a wonderful place in Glasgow and thanks for the vegan options, I wish you had more vegan food in the menu!

This family run restaurant is my favourite place to eat in Glasgow. Absolutely delicious food, excellent service (thank you Danny & Milly for a great evening!) and a really friendly, cosy atmosphere. Just everything is great and I can't recommend it enough!

Very friendly staff, superb food, nice relaxed atmosphere. This place is a real hidden gem!

A family had a baby 1 table over from us. The baby was getting fussy while the parents were trying to eat. Our waitress scooped up the baby, put it in its stroller, and is now rocking it to sleep so the parents can eat. Food is incredible. Get some mead to wash it down!

Good food, but weird about accepting cards (sent my dinner partner on a 10 min walk to ATMs for cash until they admitted to accepting cards). Food took an hour to get here, which wasn't great but food was good.

To many, Mosob will be the first chance they will have to experience Eritrean dishes. I myself never had the opportunity to eat something like this. The whole place makes you feel as if you left Glasgow and you are in Africa. The platter is a great option for you to try different dishes. I loved the spicy lamb dish! If you are in the area and would like to experience something different and tasty this is your jam!
