Hareg Cafe Variety - Ottawa

The wait can be long (about 30 minutes), but the food is truly amazing.If you can’t eat very spicy food, tell them and they will accommodate you.Vegetarian platter, tibs, doro wot are delicious with good portions of injera.

We waited over an hour for 3 plates to make it to the table and the restaurant wasn’t event half full note that there are only about 10 tables, so whatever was going on in the kitchen is beyond me. The food is pretty good if you don’t mind waiting an hour for it. The vibe is OK, but it’s cheaply built and the seating and tables are uncomfortable considering how long the wait is. The service was just awful. No refill of the water until the food arrived. Ordered beer but that didn’t come for 45 minutes because the 3 servers all appeared to be in middle school and it wasn’t until an adult man came through and socialized with another table for 10 minutes before we could have our drinks served. He left promptly and we never got the second round we ordered either.Summary, food pretty tasty, everything else was about the worst experience I’ve ever had in a restaurant. Brutal way to run a business.

Ordered a beef dish and coffee here and both were very tasty, while decor and aesthetics were very nice. However, portions were fairly small for the price and service slow. This restaurant is probably best experienced with a group, since Ethiopian food is meant to be shared with others.

Amazing food. Very fresh. I ordered the Vegetarian Combo Platter , Extra Vegetarian Combination Extra Injera/roll for delivery, an hour before they closed. The food was hot fresh when it arrived. Amazing quality, quantity price. Definitely will be ordering again.

Went as a group of four and it was a great experience! I got the vegan, gluten free combo plate and it was AMAZING and at a great price too. Highly recommend this spot — and their injera was so fresh! ?
