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. As the menu has evolved, Chef German has delighted in discovering how closely his native Dominican cuisine mirrors Ethiopian traditions—his mother’s steak encebollado, for example, evokes the flavors of Ethiopian beef tibs.Please note: Due to high demand and the intimate size of our dining room, reservations for parties of five or fewer are allotted a 90-minute dining experience. Parties of six are allotted 120 minutes.

Hi Friends, We have gone to a full QR Code ordering system but don't be afraid, our team is available to walk you through any questions you may have! We understand that planning is overrated and spontaneity is the spice of life! That's why we always keep availability for walk-ins of groups of 2 or more. Simply walk in and our friendly team will be happy to accommodate you at the door. We now take limited reservations for groups of 2 or more. Please note that while reservations provide a guaranteed table, we strive to accommodate walk-ins as much as possible. Big groups, no problem! However, during peak hours, there might be a short wait time for walk-in groups. Grab a maitai at the bar or play a game of pool while you wait - and hey, you might even meet someone new. Thank you for reserving with us at Palm House!

    We were blown away by the food at Cubita. The fresh orange juice and the latte were also incredible. We came in with few expectations and couldn’t believe it was sooo good. I had the Benedict and everyhh th big appeared to be house made. My friend had a rice and beans dish that she raved about The rooftop has a great view, the guacamole was outstanding and the fresh chips and plantains! Highly recommend!
