Meski blends Ethiopian and Afro-Latin flavors into a bold, thoughtful menu that celebrates cultural parallels and family heritage. Signature dishes include a T-bone steak rubbed with berbere and coffee, served alongside chile-glazed plantains and pigeon peas, as well as sambusas made from yuca—crispy pockets filled with berbere-spiced beef or lentils.Named after Fassil’s late mother, Meski also features soulful plates like sancocho, the classic Dominican meat stew, reimagined with Ethiopian spices.
