There is a warm atmosphere in this restaurant probably due in large part to the attentive service from the proprietor(s) whose friendly and knowledgeable guidance about what to order are invaluable if you have never sampled Eritrean fare or even know what it is! Can't remember the names of the dishes ordered as we were a group of 10 so we ordered a couple of different dishes to share. But I do remember the yummy food came out in large platters - each had a colourful mound of meat and veg piled on top of thick spongy pancakes. To eat it the traditional way, you tear pieces of the pancake off with your fingers and use that to scoop up chunks of the meat & veg. The pancake itself has a slightly sour taste so it's not tasty on its own. Overall, it's fun to try if you've never eaten Eritrean before. Including a drink or two each and half of us ordering dessert, we paid around £22pp.]]> Mon, 22 Oct 2007 19:36:23 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1a1258s/mosob/1785471270337199 mif 51.523060668438 -0.20106870992623 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1a1258s/mosob/1j63f7

What a fantastic place! Food is really good and the owners do a great job of making you feel welcome. Went as a couple but suits large groups well. I certainly look forward to heading there again ...]]> Sat, 14 Jul 2007 19:38:36 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1a1258s/mosob/1j63f71303014496 seanmcclowry 51.523060668438 -0.20106870992623 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1a1258s/mosob/1953f8

Mosob is a great place run by a couple of brothers and the ole cameo from their mum. It has a great atmosphere which is relaxed and friendly, you also get a great education into Eritrean history and food. It's a place you could almost walk past and is one of Harrow road's hidden treasures. The food is hot and spicy with oodles of flavour and a great place for the adventurous. The food is warming and moreish and the starters are satisfingly great! Once a month they invite all their regulars, closest and dearest to a Mosob party where they provide funky music and good food. If you happen to go more than once, they always seem to remeber you and are always keen to recommend new dishes. At the back of the restaurant, you can kick back and relax with some fresh mint tea and smoke a bit of shisha and are regaled by tales of how the furniture was bought and brought back from Eritrea. The place is small but what it lacks in size it makes up in character and fun! Worth the visit i think! and its not badly priced either!]]> Sun, 24 Jun 2007 21:53:46 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1a1258s/mosob/1953f863536508 ickle_pea 51.523060668438 -0.20106870992623
