"This was my first time trying Ethiopian food. I read up on their reviews and checked out food photos because I had no prior knowledge or experience. Although I did watch the helpful video posted on Yelp how to eat with your hands, the server kindly brought out her own plate to show me herself. She made sure that I understood after I told her it was my first time. I got the super Messob exclusive for two people to share dinner with my eating partner. It was definitely too much food. I packed a full heavy to go box to take home. It's basically a combination of several menu items and comes with injera. There were some items that I liked more than others, so now I know what I would order and what not to order. I also tried the appetizer sambussa, which reminded of samosas. They're fried and tasted really good but messy. The inside filling would fall out when I took bites. It came with a spicy red sauce, which also tasted good with the main entree. Parking free street parking after 8 PM on Whitworth. There are some metered spots along Fairfax. Across from Messob there is a crosswalk, which is helpful for crossing the street without a stoplight. Bathroom is in the back, and there is one hand washing station outside of the two bathrooms. Definitely wash your hands before eating. Next time I would come for lunch to try the coffee!"
