In a brief, enthusiastic announcement, NBA player Draymond Green introduces Meski, a new upscale Ethiopian‑Dominican fusion restaurant opening in March in San Francisco. He describes Meski as a bar‑forward venue that offers great food, drinks, service, and a vibrant atmosphere, with the broader goal of bringing Black culture back to the city. Green credits his friend Guma Fasil for originating the concept, and highlights the culinary team—Chef Nelson (Dominican background) and Begum (Ethiopian)—as key collaborators who will help balance the dual culinary influences while maintaining a cohesive vibe.
