Served with Ethiopian bread.
Do you want to know a little-known secret? Meskel is truly one of the most wonderful Ethiopian restaurants in the New York City. The food is an absolute delight to the senses and customers will be greatly rewarded if they slow down and savor every morsel. Each dish, from the vegetarian to the meats, is spiced to perfection and the injera is perfectly thin, light and freshly made all day. The staff is always gracious and accommodating while encouraging you to take your time and enjoy your meal. Meskel is a gem humbly located on Manhattan’s wonderful Lower East Side and is the only place to find authentic Ethiopian cuisine.

The place is delicious! They are very nice as well if you pick up. Homestyle Ethiopian. I usually get the vegetarian combination, and I'm not even a vegetarian. My only problem is the food is definitely priced just a bit high. I know it's hard to survive in popular areas of NYC, but I wish there were ways to make it cheaper because I think they'd get more business. The food is delicious. Once in a while it is a little bit inconsistent and doesn't seem as fresh, but when it's on point, it's one of my favorite meals!

Do not order from here. I never received a confirmation and when I called the number there was no connection. This place no longer exists

The delivery was horrendous. It took 1 hour and 45 mins for the food to come, it was cold, and it wasn't even my order. When I called the restaurant to let them know it wasn't my food, they didn't offer to send the correct food - they just said that the cook decided to substitute the appetizer and forgot the dessert. And the cold food was not good - way too salty.
