More infoHarambe has held down Commercial Drive for over twenty years, and the ease shows: orange walls, carved stools, Ethiopian music low, zero pressure to perform. The move is the combo platter, meat tibs and awaze, lentils, greens and shiro spread across one big round of tangy injera, eaten with your hands off the same plate, no forks. You can't rush it, which is the point. Finish with Ethiopian coffee.
Get the mixed combo platter, it arrives as one big round of injera loaded with tibs, awaze, lentils and greens, built to be shared by hand, so leave the cutlery and scoop with the bread instead. First-timers miss that the spongy injera under the stews is the utensil, the napkin and the best bite all at once; tear a piece, scoop, and feed each other the last good mouthful. Grab a snug table inside, order a small strong Ethiopian coffee to close, and budget about an hour and a half before you wander the Drive.
