Non-veg

Serves meat, vegan options available. In Ethiopian cuisine you will find vegan suitable dishes. The 7 or so vegetarian ones here are vegan, such as the mesir wot (lentils in sauce), shiro wot (seasoned chickpeas), and atkilt wot (veggies in curry sauce). Dishes can be ordered individually or all in smaller portions served over injera (thin teff bread). Relocated from 574 Rideau St. Open Mon-Tue 12:00pm-10:00pm, Wed-Thu 12:00pm-9:30pm, Fri-Sat 12:00pm-10:00pm, Sun 12:00pm-9:30pm.

Yummy and addictive

Our takeout order at Habesha is always "Veggie Platter for 2", and it never disappoints. The platter is a delicious (and generous) combination of several legume- and green-based dishes served over fresh injera. And it comes with a side of refreshing salad. I would never "dine" there as the dining room is nothing special, but for me, the food is absolutely worth the drive from Orléans and back. My only wish is that they open a second location in my neighborhood. No, it would be bad for my wallet, as I crave their food EVERY week. I say, go there for the veggie platter takeout, not for a dine-in experience. It's VERY filling, healthy, comforting, and affordable. Keep the extra injeras for the next day: they are excellent with hummus.

Pros: Great food, Excellent price, Courteous and rapid service

Cons: Meh dining room, Poor washroom situation, Cold atmosphere

Recommend the veg platter

The vegan platter has all 7 vegan dishes with lots of the bread/wrap and makes a pretty hefty meal. Delicious!

Yum!

The vegetarian platter is fantastic. You get a selection of vegetable and bean dishes. If you’re two, order a few extra sides and you’ve got an amazing meal. One of my favourite places in Ottawa for a fast, inexpensive delicious meal.

Pros: Friendly service, Excellent food, Convenient location

Delicious Ethiopian restaurant!

Delicious food in a clean and comfy setting. About half the menu is vegan. Run by a nice family, which is an extra bonus. Loved it all around!

Excellent Ethiopian Food

We moved to Ottawa 1 year ago and being vegan have struggled to find a good healthy dining experience. We happened to walk by Habesha and decided to try it for lunch. Since then, we have been frequenting it almost every 2 weeks. The staff are very friendly and the food is superb. We have eaten in many Ethiopian restaurants in both Canada & USA. This one is by far the tastiest and healthiest. Nothing worse than your food swimming in oil. If you are vegan, try the vegetarian platter (which is all vegan) to give you a good idea what to order next time you dine here.
The bar menu and food prices are beyond reasonable. Trust us, you will not be disappointed.
