All of this is arranged neatly in one plate to share, with some injera on the side. The vegetables were nicely spiced and fresh, and the meat is fairly spicy and high quality. The injera is okay - it was served cold so it didn't hit properly with the rest of the food. Service is good as they checked up on us occasionally, though we need to flag them for any additional requests but with minimal effort.

From the outside, it looks a bit sketchy -- there aren't really any unblocked windows. When I went…read moreinside, there were people smoking hukas and whatnot, and I was asked whether I was there to smoke or to eat. They do both Mediterranean and Ethiopian cuisines, and I came here for the Ethiopian -- they had a veggie combo ($18 plus tax) which what I came for. The food came out in less than 5 minutes -- I guess the dishes are all prepared in advance. The platter came with misir wot (red lentils), yellow lentils, shiro (smoked chickpea), and a yellow cabbage dish, with a green salad and 3 extra pieces of injera. First, props to the salad -- so many Ethiopian places give you a lame green salad with iceberg lettuce; this had some nice leafy greens with cucumber and tomato, and a very nice tangy dressing. All 4 of the hot dishes were excellent, especially the misir wot and yellow lentils. Huge portions, which makes the rather steep price ($18) worth it (this is higher than any veggie combo at any other Ethiopian places in Vancouver). To round it off, the service was excellent -- the young woman serving me was very friendly, helpful and quick. This is now one of my top spots for Ethiopian in Greater Van. Very much recommended.

The injera bread was moist, bubbly, and airy and paired excellently with the spiced vegetables. The variety of flavours and textures included with the veggie combo was awesome and allowed me to continue switching up the flavours in my mouth. Loved the generous portion size allowing you to eat to full satisfaction and beyond. It was a veggie feast with a nice kick and made you feel good after eating it!

Have you ever had Ethiopian food before?…read more Nope, neither have I. I was hanging out with a friend from across town & I wanted to try dinner at another restaurant further up on Commercial Dr. So we decided on drinks here first at Harambe Ethiopian Restaurant, while we waited for our standby reservation to come through at the other restaurant. My friend had been here before & highly recommended we come back again to eat. I got to try Ethiopian Honey Wine for the first time. It was refreshingly delicious. Sat at the bar & chilled. Saw various dishes coming out of the kitchen & the look & smell were causing my stomach to growl. Got to meet the owner Daniel - a very nice gentleman. He has been running this restaurant now for over 25 years. He expressed that times are hard, as noted by all the restaurant closures all over Metro Vancouver. But he's hanging in there so if you want to try Ethiopian food - consider Harembe & support local. Look out for more food pictures sometime in the later part Spring when I return.

I was excited to try Ethiopian food as it has been a while since I had last tried. I went with a…read morefriend for dinner and there were plenty of tables available with no reservation on a Saturday evening. I got the chef's choice combination and my friend got the veggie lovers combination. The food arrived relatively promptly and it was presented as a nice spread. Eating with our hands was a neat experience to enjoy the food the traditional way. The server told me to mix all the ingredients together but I wanted to taste each item first. Perhaps mixing it all would have been better as there were a couple items I found their taste to be a bit strong on their own. Personally I also found it on the oily side. The injera was great at soaking it all up but I was unable to finish the injera that was served at the bottom of all the ingredients at the end, with all the oil that was there. Overall it was a great experience and if I were to return, I would skip the combo and order a dish I liked.

One staff member briefly came out when the phone rang, saw us waiting, and just went back inside without asking us to sit or take our order. That part of the service was honestly quite disappointing. That said, the food completely turned things around for me on our second visit. I'm vegetarian, and their vegetarian combo was amazing. The injera was especially impressive--no overly sour aftertaste like I've had at many other Ethiopian restaurants. Every side dish was flavorful and honestly mouth-watering. I really like a good balanced, healthy meal with protein and greens, and this combo had everything I was hoping for. On our second visit, the host was at least warm and attentive, which made a big difference in the experience. Also worth mentioning--they have great deals on Mondays and Tuesdays. In today's economy, that definitely makes it more likely I'll be coming back. Overall, amazing food. Service just needs a bit more consistency.

There was some nice wall decor around the restaurant and it had a cozy feel. Gojo does a Tuesday veggie platter special for 12.99 and we added on the lamb ribs for an additional 21.99 in the middle which was accompanied by extra injera. Honestly, this meal was super filling since all the veggie side dishes also sit on a giant injera I liked the mild spice of the lamb as well as the spinach and lentil side dishes (the cabbage one was just ok). Overall a very interactive and filling meal and I might be back to try their tartare next!
