Ethiopian Feast

My husband and I went out last night ~ our first official night out together in two years that didn’t involve grocery shopping or some other silly errand. And it was long overdue!

We went to Harambe’s on Commercial for some authentic Ethiopian cuisine and I was a little nervous because my first experience with Ethiopian food in Ottawa a number of years ago left me feeling extremely disappointed. Let’s just say I left the restaurant hungry. This time around was an entirely different experience.

Harambe’s was pretty much awesome. The ambiance was fabulous, the food was fantastic. I ordered the Chef’s platter which contained a number of different veggie and meat dishes all topped on injera, a spongy flatbread that is your utensil. No knife and fork here, just your hands. I couldn’t tell you exactly what was all on the plate, all I can say is that every bite was a spicy delight.

And this also completes number 85 on the 101 in 1001!
