Mosob Restaurant is an Eritrean and Ethiopian dining room at 339 Harrow Road in Maida Hill. Reopened under new management, it continues a long tradition of generous hospitality and shared meals, presenting richly spiced stews, vegetables and meats on soft, pleasantly sour injera.
Starters include vegetable or lamb samosas and rolls of injera filled with spinach or seasoned lentils. The vegetarian selection is particularly broad, bringing together red lentil stew, chickpea shiro, split peas, greens, cabbage and carrots in combinations that show how varied meat free cooking can be.
Doro wot slow cooks chicken in a deep berbere sauce, while kitfo, awaze tibs, lamb stew and dried beef firfir explore different textures and levels of heat. Traditional spices, clarified butter, garlic, ginger and fresh chilli give each dish its own character rather than relying on one dominant flavour.
Large sharing platters combine several meat and vegetable dishes with injera and salad, making them a natural introduction for groups. Eating from a central platter encourages a relaxed and social meal, while vegan choices, weekend specials and straightforward desserts allow parties with different tastes to dine together comfortably.
Address: 339 Harrow Road, Maida Hill, London W9 3RB, United Kingdom
