About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
At Black Garlic, we honor the fire, patience, and soul it takes to build flavor and legacy. Rooted in the culinary traditions of Ethiopia and the Caribbean, Black Garlic is a celebration of two cultures bound by spice, story, and strength. Our name speaks to transformation — just as black garlic is created through slow fermentation, our dishes are crafted through time, tradition, and bold innovation. We fuse the warmth of berbere with the fire of jerk. We plate injera beside plantain, shiro beside escovitch, and pour rum beside honey wine. Each dish is a tribute to where we come from and where we're going.
Black Garlic isn't just a restaurant — it's a love letter to ancestry, a gathering space for community, and a new chapter in diasporic cuisine. Here, we cook with depth. We serve with intention. And we welcome you to taste the story.

    This was our first visit to Mesob! Our waiter was great and very helpful. My husband and I both enjoyed our entree choices. My husband had the seafood jambalaya, I had curry shrimp and rice. We shared the jerk chicken on Bao buns as an appetizer. My husband had an old Fashioned made with rum and I had a delicious mojito. The dishes were very flavorful and we enjoyed our 1st experience at Mesob!

    We made a reservation for my husbands birthday to show up and the restaurant was closed. No notification of the closure or anything. We just showed up for the reservation THEY confirmed with me the day before. So we had to scramble and make new plans and we were disappointed and disrespected over their lack of care for our time.

    Food was flavorful. Portion of doro wot was very small. Willing to try again for full menu as we went for Valentine’s Day and they had a special menu. Water was only filled one time and was empty the majority of the time which sucked because the food was overall spicy. Crab cakes were good but not warm.
