Ethiopian Food in Ottawa: Injera, Platters and Menu Prices

An Ethiopian food order in Ottawa can be a vegetable combination on injera, a chicken stew or a mixed meat platter. The useful comparison is what comes with the named dish: a platter price is not automatically a price per person, and a list of vegetables does not tell you how many people it will feed.

This guide covers two restaurants at two exact addresses. Menus and addresses were checked on October 22, 2026. The prices below are Canadian-dollar item listings from the restaurants' delivery menus on Skip. They are not verified dine-in or counter prices, and they exclude the final calculation of taxes, delivery, service fees and tips. Check the selected ordering channel before paying.

Compare the restaurant and the order

Each amount is for one menu item as listed, with no published diner count attached to these examples. The table does not establish equal portions or a cheapest-restaurant ranking.

Hareg Cafe & Variety — vegetable combinations on Bank Street

Hareg's operator website identifies the cafe at 587 Bank Street and names Skip, Uber and DoorDash as ordering channels. Its street address also agrees with the Glebe business directory.

The Skip menu lists Vegetarian Combo Platter (All options) at $23.92. Its description includes lentils, split peas, chickpea preparations, spinach, cabbage, potatoes, beets and carrots. The combo section offers injera or rice. Check the current selection rather than assuming a fixed number of scoops or people served from the word “platter.”

For a separate meat dish, Doro Wot is $22.80 on the same menu. That item explicitly describes one chicken leg and one hard-boiled egg in a spiced chicken stew. This is a more specific portion description than the vegetable combo; it is still not a promise that a mixed order serves a particular number of diners.

Habesha Restaurant — seven vegetable components or a mixed platter

Habesha's current Vanier address is 99 Montreal Road. The Vanier BIA's business listing and the restaurant's Skip menu agree on that location. Use this address rather than an older Rideau Street listing.

The Vegetarian Platter is $23 on Skip. Its description specifies seven kinds of vegetarian sauces and vegetables, and the vegetarian section says dishes come with regular injera. Seven components describe the variety on the plate, not seven portions for seven diners.

The Habesha Platter is $25, with a chef-selected combination of beef, vegetables and doro wot. A separate Doro Wot is $23, described as chicken in berbere sauce with hard-boiled eggs. The menu also lists extra regular injera at $2. It does not specify a piece count for that extra, so ask how much comes with the order if bread quantity matters to your group.

Check the bread, dish and quantity together

Use the restaurant's own item description to decide how injera fits into the order. Habesha states that its vegetarian dishes include regular injera; Hareg's combo section offers injera or rice. Check this choice with the exact item rather than assuming all bread is priced separately or that a rice option applies to the whole menu.

For a shared meal, ask how many people the selected combination is intended to feed and whether you need extra injera. None of the platter examples above publishes a reliable diner count, so this guide does not turn a single listed item into a “meal for two.”

Vegetarian and vegan wording here follows the named menu items. Confirm ingredients and bread requirements with the restaurant for your particular order; the guide does not treat all injera as gluten-free or every vegetable dish as prepared the same way.
