Back when I wrote up Akin’s restaurant, I mentioned that it was one of three restaurants that we part of the same building that houses both Mercadito Latino, and Harman’s. Harman’s is an Ethiopian restaurant with an interesting history. Harman’s was originally a drug store that stood on the corner of Sherbrook Street and Portage Avenue. and among other things, was famous for its lunch counter. I have to admit, that for all the many times I had heard about the lunch counter I never visited.
Great food and wonderful owner that cares about more than just her restaurant. Most of the profit goes to support an orphanage in Ethiopia which is reported on every year at her fundraiser. This is where the Canadian-Ethiopians go. If you like coffee order it AT THE BEGINNING of your meal and it is roasted on the spot and prepared. Ethiopian food will be the main food in heaven so if you want a taste of heaven this is where you go.Dan Maxson
I was at first hesitant to go to this restaurant as Ethiopian food is something that's still novel to me. However, I am glad that I'm adventurous enough to expand my horizons. After being dragged to Harman's cafe by friends, I could proudly say I may become a regular.
I would suggest to try the combination platters as those seem to come out quicker than the other dishes. For the best of both worlds, and if you are an omnivore, the meat and vegetables combination will definitely satisfy ones hunger. Also, get the coffee. You won't regret how fun this restaurant makes getting a simple cup of coffee.
