Harambe has been on the Drive for over twenty years, which in Commercial Drive terms makes it a landmark, and the ease of the place shows: orange walls, traditional carved stools, Ethiopian music low in the background, and zero pressure to perform a dining experience. The move is the combo platter: meat tibs and awaze, lentils, greens and shiro all spread across one big round of tangy injera, eaten with your hands off the same plate, no forks. You cannot rush eating this way, which turns out to be exactly the point on a date. Portions are generous, prices are kind, and the staff give first dates and tenth anniversaries the same unhurried warmth. Order the mixed platter, let it be the icebreaker, and finish with a small, strong Ethiopian coffee.
