The restaurant was definitely small but really intimate. Although we were seated in the back the food was delicious! It’s definitely a place you’d go to share. We had the lamb meet (sauted lamb with Garlic, onion, tomato, and jalapeo pepper infused with herbal spiced butter). We ordered that with the habesha platter (selected combination of beef & veggies with Doro Wat (National dish prepared with tender chicken, hard boiled eggs, cooked with hot spicy pepper, flavoured with butter)). Incredibly delicious, the flavour was so vibrant we ended up ordering a second round!! To top it off the service was great other than the small area I’ll definitely be back (so possibly make sure to book ahead) !! I highly recommend this place!
Habesha is very comfortable, casual, delicious & friendly. Generous portions and they happily bring second helpings. Thank you / Amesegenalgo.
One of my favourite restaurants. The mixed platter is great for variety. Stealing the show is the #6 rare – spiced ground beef; its better than tartar & possibly sushi.
We left our B&B looking for a good meal. This is a wee little place that you can easily miss. When walking in, the place has 6 tables (later discovered there are more in the back). We ordered a chicken and a lamb dish which were presented on a large platter along with a salad and Naan like bread that’s used to eat the meal with. We were very pleased with our meal, but the wait seemed a bit long (reflected in my 3.5). No silverware here which isn’t a problem. Last page of the menu gives instructions on how to eat with supplied ‘naan’. Awesome little place, great experience, great food!
Probably the best Ethiopian in Ottawa. The veggie platter serves 2 well, and has a ton of flavor. Will get again! The service was very slow, however, so don’t be in a rush for your dinner. If getting takeaway, def call ahead.
Great deal on great food. This place offers a great atmosphere and for someone who was new to this type of cuisine a lot of empathy for not always knowing what to do.
= DELICIOUS!. My family and I have eaten here for years. We have brought friends of all ages and cultures and everyone has said the same, absolutely delicious. This family owned restaurant is always quiet and the atmosphere is comfortable. The food is authentic (having been to Ethiopia many times and my mother-in-law still lives there) and the service is always friendly. Be prepared to wait a bit for your food but it is well worth the wait! The Habesha platter with zil-zil tibs and spiced tea is our go-to meal! Reasonably priced, hot, flavorful and authentic!
