Harman's Cafe

Went here for a quick lunch. I've been trying a few of the Ethiopian restaurants in the area. This is one of the better priced ones with very generous servings. There was a lot of meat. I do have some tips though. I found the meat kind of blended together. The vegetarian was better. My friend who goes all the time ordered the vegetarian and I could see why. My recommendation would be to order a 3 meat and a vegetarian to share if there's 2. You can also do the meat and veggies combo for 2. The only problem I found was there was no chicken. All the meat blended together and didn't have much of a unique texture (ours was 3/4 beef items and 1/4 lamb) she said you would have had to order the chicken separately. If chicken is your thing, skip the meat platter. I included pictures of the menu, however she had a problem with the printing, so everything costs $1 more. Parking can be found on the street.

Well this place was a gem to find. Staff - we came in with about 45 minutes to closing. That didn't stop them from serving us well and without making us feel like we were being rushed. Food - if you don't mind getting a little messy, don't ask for a fork and have fun! It seems as though most of their food is served traditionally as finger food, with a lovely sourdough bread to scoop up the rich flavours. I ate with my wife and Mom and they brought us a huge platter of the food we ordered (they asked first, if it was okay to combine). We had so much fun and the food was flavourful. We will eat here again.

What a hidden gem in Winnipeg. We ordered two plates of 2 meat, two veggie combos ($12 each) and the platter was served to us within 5 minutes! As is the case in most North American restaurants, they use a combination of teff and wheat flour, so the injera flatbread is not gluten free. They offer rice as an alternative. No utensils are offered unless you ask - the idea is that you rip some injera off and use it to scoop the food off the platter. The decor was tasteful and true to their culture. Nothing too cluttered but not stark either. Very delicious and the server seemed genuinely interested to know if we enjoyed the meal. If you haven't had the experience yet you simply must go.

My mouth still waters when I think about the meal I had there. Great vegan option with the vegetarian platter, incredibly delicious. The price is sooo good too for such generous portions, we both left STUFFED. The owner has a foundation to help children in Ethiopia so it is a great place to support. I can't wait to go back!

I am a regular customer here and I love the vegetarian combo they have. I have tried different well know Ethiopian restaurants which almost made me hate this type of food. But here the food was actually delicious. Also I love the fact that Desta (owner) uses the business to run a children's home in Ethiopia. I highly recommend this place if you like Ethiopian food!
