Favorite Ethiopian restaurant of all time anywhere, also my first. Pescitarian- and vegetarian friendly with a fish tibs recipe that is a must-have for our table. The art is colorful and joyous and the bathrooms are OK for a building of this age on Commercial.Service is slow, but this seems to be true of Ethiopian restaurants everywhere. The food comes when it comes, make sure you like your table-mates.Vegetarian options: Lots of plant-based options and a vegetarian platter to share. Notably, the dishes center both veggies and pulses so you can get a protein fix without navigating soy-based meat substitutes.

Good flavours, and friendly service. The waitress taught us how to eat with injera properly. I recommend the fish tibs and sampler.

I really like this place, they have delicious dishes and it's always easy to get vegan options, and the dining room is cozy! I recommend if you're in the area !

It is a traditional Ethiopian restaurant with traditional fermented bread on a large plate and various other foods on top.You can choose between 1 and 4 servings, and add beef, chicken, or vegetable dishes.I ordered two servings and added beef, but it was a bit difficult to eat them all.Traditional fermented bread called 'Injera' is provided as standard.It's rolled up, so you can just unfold it and cut it.Please note that the only drinks available are alcoholic drinks.

Food is so delicious and communal! I always get the vegetarian combo (it’s vegan) with all the various dishes and injera. Everything comes out super fast. Excellent for 2-6 people groups. We go for casual dates and to meet with friends. Love this place.

Really delicious food, the red lentils and injera were my favourites. Service was friendly and helpful, if a little slower than most places in Vancouver. Overall I really enjoy Harambe and think it's a great spot.Vegetarian options: I had the vegetation option for my portion of the chef's choice platter and really enjoyed it.

Great and romantic atmosphere Vegetarian options: DeliciousParking: We found parking in front of the restaurant
Tbh, we wanted to try this new cuisine, but i think it's so so for Indian taste buds, i would suggest if more people are going to try just order one platter so that you can have taste n order more if you like.I am sure Ethiopian people would be loving food here.Decor of the restaurant is beautiful and full of paintings.Vegetarian options: Yes

Incredible vegetarian combination. I sometimes find Ethiopian places over salt their dishes, but everything here was perfectly seasoned. Add on an order of shiro as well, you won't regret it.

Food is good, but the slowest service you will ever see. Hostess will sit around talking with her friends at the bar for hours (literally) and will ignore you unless you go up to ask for service. Even if it’s completely dead. If you have five hours to kill and want to be demeaned, this is your place.
