What an incredible experience! Yes the food was very tasty, but this was also an experience in itself. Learnt so much about Eritrean food and coffee. The staff made the experience feel so comfortable and enjoyable. A must-visit if in Newcastle!

My first experience of Ethiopian food (visited 05/07/24). The food is very tasty and the restaurant is extremely underrated. The whole restaurant was essentially empty. The potions were huge and of great value. As a group of four, we struggled to finish the sharer plate (probably enough for 5+). Think it cost ~£12 each including drinks. The waitress was very attentive and friendly. The only downside was that the waitress didn't understand English very well which made it difficult to communicate that I had a minor nut allergy, although the food seemed nut free. I plan to go again and have recommended it to friends.

This is really confusing. This place used to be called mosab which we visited exactly a year ago for my sins birthday. Mosab are now in the middle of a move to different premises elsewhere in newcastle. The place is now called zula although photos (menus etc) and reviews seem to be mostly about mosab. Anyway, we (2 adults and 15/17 Yr old) returned this year for my son's birthday. We booked for 8pm on a Friday night and we're stunned we were the only people in there (considering it closes at 10). 2 other parties (of 2) came in so 8 in total(which is why I marked down on atmosphere) . We placed our order which was the meat sharing platter for dad/son and veg sharing platter for mum/daughter. Our order took over an hour to arrive (which is why I marked down on service). When the food came it was equally as good as the same dishes last year although, again, way too much food. Surely a restaurant can't survive on only 8 customers on a Friday night although I do hope they prove me wrong. Also as this cuisine is new to newcastle, photos of each of the items on the menu would be a good idea

We gave this a try because of the vegan options. We had a takeaway therefore I cannot comment on service or the ambiance of the establishment. One of my family is vegan and the vegan dishes were nice although nothing spectacular. The meat dishes were poor, the meat was tough and the sauces bland. The injeras are tasteless and and nothing to the meal. They look like grey tripe and has a similar texture. I do not know what tripe tastes like, as I don't like the look of it but it cannot be worse than an injera. In short a major disappointment.

First time trying East African cuisine. I was surprised how tasty the food is. Although it looks simple but it has some interesting taste. Ordered the veg/meat combo for two and I was so full at the end. They also have some imported beers (Asmara and St George beers). Will recommend to anyone who want to try something new. It was not too expensive as well.

We had an amazing lunch, the staff were so lovely and told us all about the amazing food we were eating and how it’s prepared. We had vegan combo for 3-4 people and a meat dish which was very generous and more than enough for 5 of us. The waitress explained how to eat it with our hands and the tradition of making a bite to eat for other people on the table and giving it to them. Everything was delicious especially all the amazing vegan dishes (the spinach one and the okra one especially). I highly recommend! The coffee was delicious too.

We really enjoyed our meal here. We had the meat and veg combo and liked all of it! We also loved the cardamon and cinnamon tea. The staff were lovely and we thought it was excellent value. Our only reservation is we would have liked the food hotter - it was served on a metal plate and cooled down quickly.

What an incredible first experience! My partner and I were blown away by the quality and the flavour of the dishes. They felt home made and along with the stunning decor, it made a wonderful fusion. Hisham ensured the warmth of the place until the very end. I definitely recommend it and we will be there again very soon! The food is very generous and the combo platter is over the top for 2 people. The chilli stuffed with onion and tomato is very spicy, so take caution! PS: It’s cash only

This was a great meal! We ordered the assorted veg and meat platter for two, a cola and a honey wine as they did not have any beer in stock. All of the food was fantastic and a great introduction to Eritrean cuisine. We had complimentary tea and popcorn which was a really nice and considerate plus. I would 100% come back here to try the rest of the menu. The only negative is that as I was recommended the honey wine due to the beer being out of stock; I would have assumed a glass would have been a similar price (£3.50ish) however I was charged £6, which had I checked beforehand I would have gone for a cola. We spent £43 including a £5 tip.

We picked this restaurant for something a bit novel and it 100% delivered. We had Eritrean lager with their sharing platter for 4 and I think it might be one of the most interesting meals I’ve ever had. You don’t get cutlery, just dosa like pancakes with delicious dishes to scoop up. There was a spicy lentil dish I could’ve stayed eating all night. The card machine was broken so we paid by bank transfer but it should be back working again in a couple of days.

The food was really delicious however there is room for improvement here. The injera was cold and lamb a bit too chewy, however still tasted great. Service could have been better but understandably this is a family run restaurant with only one staff member working the floor. Would highly recommend if you want to try something different.

This unassuming restaurant tucked away behind the life centre in Newcastle delivers more than expected from its one door exterior. After trying Ethiopian food before I have struggled to find it again outside of London so wasn't I pleased when I came across Mosob and it certainly didn't leave anything to be desired. Another added bonus was the freshly squeezed orange juice - some of the most refreshing juice I've tried in the UK. This place is not to be missed.

Although it's a little tucked away and the entrance feel a like you're going to someone's flat we were, as soon as we entered the restaurant, made to feel completely at home.

Poor service! The whole restaurant had to wait to be attended to while they catered to a table of 8. Took 30 minutes to get a menu, and after 45 minutes of waiting for my food I decided to leave. So I cannot comment on the food. The manager begged me stay, saying the food was on its way out (but the waitress promised me that 20 minutes before). His only excuse was there was a table of 8, and that the chef could not handle the capacity. I told him to rethink being a restaurateur, because an establishment cannot survive on a table of 8 per night. He took my comment to heart, and did not charge for my drink. It was only right, considering I left the restaurant still hungry after an hour 15 minute wait. My advice, don’t come here if there are lots of people.
