Was User at Harambe a mag?
Walking along the bustling and eclectic Commercial Drive, we decided we wanted Ethiopian for dinner after an afternoon of shopping and a pre-dinner cocktail at a pub nearby. Decided to try Harambe after passing by numerous places and were glad we did. Tried their meat sampler and everything was very tasty, with the lamb dish being a standout. Being a Wednesday, seemed like a few other restaurants were closed (there w... View all feedback.

What User dislikes about Harambe:
We came to Harambe for our date dinner. My hubby and I love Traditional Ethiopian food and have been to many Ethiopian restaurants as well as had home made Ethiopian food. We ordered veggies and doro watt. When it was served to us it tasted terrible. Doro watt was very watery and onion (which supposedly being cooked for a long time) was not done as supposed to. It also was not as spicy and definitely was missing appr... View all feedback.

First Ethiopian experience, not really a big fan of the injera, very sour. I bet it’s pretty authentic as I’m not used to the taste at all. The cubed lamb was too salty, I couldn’t really find the balance in between.It’s understaffed as the previous comments mentioned, but the lady whose serving was great, showed me how to wrap the food by hand even fed me? I found it weird at the beginning but get used to it at the end.The deco wise very Ethiopian style, bright waking colour and love it Worth trying at least you’ll find out if you like it.

Great hidden spot to try some Ethiopian cuisine.There was only one waitress for the whole restaurant when we went for dinner, rather odd. But she did a great job checking on everyone.We tried to share platter with a mix of vegetarian and meat options. Always have to have an open mind when trying new foods. Im happy to say we really enjoyed the food, eating with our hands, the drinks and atmosphere.Vegetarian options: There are plenty of vegetarian dishes including variety platter.

Ambience: the decor Reflects the Ethiopian culture <br/ <br/ Food : It was my first time trying Ethiopian cuisine. The vegetarian platter was huge served with Ethiopian style bread(Injira). The curries in the platter had great taste specially the lentils and the cabbage curry !!!!!<br/ Price is reasonable!<br/ <br/ *Wanna try a new cuisine , should visit this place.

4/5 (Yes I did it for the memes Did you know that Harambe means 'everyone pull together '? Doesn 't it ALL MAKE SENSE now? Kinda blew my mindInternational supper club Yelp! Never had Ethiopian food before so this was something different! I really liked all the spices and little bits of everything. I also really enjoyed eating w my hands. Warning: you WILL get food on your pants if you aren careful. I definitely dropped food on my pantsDefinitely came here for the memes, stayed for the injera bread. Injera is this really cool sponge crepe that is got the sourness of sourdough. I reaaaaallly liked this 'bread ' I got the vegetarian plate (which i suspect is probably vegan as well, which is great! and it had lentils, spicy beans, cabbage a lil salad and some greens. Everything was really good. Next time I am thinking of getting a few small dishes to try. One thing is that although service is fair, I wouldn 't go absolutely starving because it was prETTy slow. Really wished they gave us a basket of injera bread to nom on while we waited like oliver garden or something lol. Overall, it was a great time and I would recommend the veggie plate!The ambiance was..... interesting, a little hole in the wall kind of feel, not bad. xAngel
