Zehabesha Menu Prices Canada 2026

What Are Zehabesha Menu Prices?

Zehabesha Yellowknife prices read like a proper Ethiopian restaurant menu, not a short cafe list. Combination platters first. Then tibs, curries, wots and stews. Then a small run of other mains, salads, extras and drinks. The range is honest for Yellowknife: $3.00 at the bottom for a spiced tea, $47.00 at the top for lamb tibs or lamb curry. Most hot mains sit between $34 and $47, which is the reality of a one-of-a-kind spot in the Northwest Territories. For a dumpling comparison from another Canadian Asian kitchen, the Mother’s Dumplings menu prices show what a Toronto dumpling house charges for a similar comfort order. The tables below use only the current brand-managed delivery menus. Three items show up twice on those menus at two different prices, and I spell that out below instead of hiding it. No guessing. That would just make a mess of the numbers.

Zehabesha Menu Card Canada 2026

The menu card below is a render of the current brand-managed delivery menu in CAD: combination platters, tibs, curries, wots and stews, other mains, salads, extras and drinks. No genuine current photograph of a paper menu card was found, and the restaurant publishes no menu of its own, so this render is built from the current delivery menu text, not from a photo. Items marked with an asterisk appear twice on the delivery menus at two prices. The conflict note under the tables explains each one. Items with no current price are left out entirely, not guessed.

Zehabesha Combination Platters Prices

Two platters, both $39.00. The Mahiberawi Combination is a sampling of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes with injera or rice, and the Yetsom Beyaynetu is the vegan platter: cabbage, carrot, potato, green beans, lentils, misir, shiro and spinach, with injera or rice. Reviewers say the sampler is enough for two, and honestly that tracks with a $39.00 platter built for sharing. The Zehabesha combination platter price of $39.00 is the same on both platters, which makes the choice about what you feel like eating, not about money.

Zehabesha Tibs Prices

Tibs are spicy pulled meat fried with onion, pepper, rosemary, jalapeno, Ethiopian butter and awaze or mitmita, served with injera or rice and salad. Beef is $39.00, goat is $45.00, lamb is $47.00. The Zehabesha tibs price climbs with the meat, and lamb sits at the top of the whole menu. The lamb tibs figure comes from DoorDash, since the SkipTheDishes crawl skipped the first two menu items. Both menus agree everywhere else they could be paired, so I am comfortable printing it, with the source flagged.

Zehabesha Curries Prices

Curries are stewed with garlic, onion, cilantro and curry powder, with the signature green spicy sauce, rice and salad. Full portions are $39.00 to $47.00, and here is the useful part: goat and chicken both come in a half portion “good for one person” at $25.00 and $24.00. That half portion is the smart solo order. Full goat curry is $45.00, half is $25.00. Full chicken curry is $39.00, half is $24.00. Same dish, smaller plate, much smaller bill.

Zehabesha Wots and Stews Prices

Wots and stews are where the vegetarian side of this menu shines. Buzena Shiro Wot is $34.00, Beef Stew Kikl is $39.00, Key Wot is $35.00. Then the three veggie stars: Yemisir Wot at $27.00, Kik Alicha at $23.00. Injera Yellowknife fans will know the drill. You tear the spongy flatbread, scoop the wot, and the injera soaks up the gravy. Reviewers keep praising that injera, cool and slightly tangy, soft enough to absorb everything. The wot prices here are the cheapest hot mains on the menu, and in my opinion they are the best value too.

Zehabesha Other Mains, Salads, Extras and Drinks Prices

The rest of the menu is short and practical. Spaghetti in Rose Sauce with Beef is $30.00, a Roast Chicken Wrap is $21.00, and the two Home Made dishes, Vegetable and Vegan, are $25.00 each. Salads run $21.00 to $22.00. Extras are where the small numbers live: spicy sauce $5.50, injera $6.00, rice $9.50. And the drinks are the cheapest part of the whole menu. Ethiopian Spiced Tea is $3.00, Oregano Tea is $4.00, Red Rose and Green Tea is $3.00, soft drinks are $3.25. Then the buna, the Traditional Ethiopian Coffee, at $10.00. Worth every dollar, if the reviewers are right. And they usually are about coffee.

Zehabesha Price Conflicts: Read This Before You Order

Three items appear twice on the same delivery menus at two different prices, and I am not going to pick one and pretend the other does not exist. Yetsom Beyaynetu is listed at $39.00 in the main listing and $40.00 further down the page, on both SkipTheDishes and DoorDash. Yemisir Wot is $27.00 in the main listing and $29.00 in the second listing. Kik Alicha is $23.00 in the main listing and $29.00 in the second listing, spelled “Kik Alicia” in one spot and “Kik Alicha” in the other. The prices in the tables above use the main-listing figures, $39.00, $27.00 and $23.00, with the duplicate figures stated here. Check before you order. Also, do not trust old review prices. A May 2019 review mentions $25 for goat curry and $22 for the sampler, and older reviews quote $16 to $20 for entrees. Those are stale. Current delivery-menu prices for mains run $39.00 to $47.00. Prices have risen a lot since those reviews, and averaging old and new figures would just lie to you. Finally, the SkipTheDishes crawl skipped a few menu items by number, and three items could not be identified at all. They are left out of this article, not invented. This is not a complete menu. It is the menu as verified on the delivery listings.

What To Order at Zehabesha?

My pick, on paper, is the Mahiberawi Combination at $39.00 plus a Traditional Ethiopian Coffee Buna at $10.00. That is $49.00 before tax and tip, for a sampler built for two and a coffee ceremony in a cup. Not cheap. But Yellowknife is not a cheap town to eat in, and this is the only Ethiopian restaurant in town. If you are eating alone, go for a half portion: Curried Chicken half portion at $24.00, or Curried Goat half portion at $25.00. Same flavours, much smaller bill. For a second opinion from another Indian kitchen, the Banjara Indian menu prices show a Toronto Indian menu with a different take on the same comfort dishes. And if you want the cheapest hot meal on the menu, Kik Alicha at $23.00 is it. Yellow split peas, turmeric, beets, injera. Simple. Good. Order the thing with a price you can see. Skip guessing on the rest until you are at the counter.

Zehabesha Ethiopian Coffee Buna

The photo below is the buna idea in one frame: a jebena pot pouring dark coffee into small clay cups, with popcorn and coffee beans beside it. That is the Ethiopian coffee ceremony Zehabesha serves, not a photo of a Zehabesha cup itself. The image is AI-generated with a PIL keyword overlay, like the featured image, and it is here to show the ceremony, not to stand in for a real photo. Ethiopian coffee Yellowknife at Zehabesha is the Traditional Ethiopian Coffee Buna at $10.00: fresh roasted and ground imported Ethiopian beans, brewed in a jebena pot, served with sugar and popcorn. Reviewers call it a highlight, and at $10.00 it is the one item on the menu I would order without thinking twice.

Is Zehabesha Good Value?

Mostly yes, with one clear asterisk. The cheap end is genuinely cheap for Yellowknife: spiced tea $3.00, oregano tea $4.00, injera extra $6.00, Kik Alicha $23.00, half-portion curries $24.00 and $25.00. Those are fair numbers, delivery pricing included. The top end is where it splits. Lamb tibs at $47.00 and lamb curry at $47.00 are a lot for one plate, even with generous portions, and delivery fees and tax sit on top of it in real life. So my honest take is this: go for a combination platter to share, or a half portion if you are alone, and treat the $39.00 to $47.00 mains as a proper night-out spend, not a quick lunch. For a third Canadian noodle comparison, the Long’s Noodle House menu prices show a BC noodle house with a similar low-to-mid price spread. Zehabesha fits a higher band than that, but it is also the only Ethiopian restaurant in Yellowknife, and that counts for something.

The Story Behind Zehabesha

Here is what I can say without inventing a backstory. Zehabesha Traditional Ethiopian Restaurant is at 5030 50th Street in Yellowknife. It is the only Ethiopian restaurant Yellowknife has, and it is ranked number 3 of 53 restaurants in Yellowknife on TripAdvisor. The restaurant describes itself as serving slow-cooked and succulent meat dishes seasoned with exotic spices, plus fresh, protein-packed vegetarian dishes. You can eat at a table or dine around a mesob, a traditional woven wicker table. Gursha is part of the tradition too, feeding someone you love by hand. And the meal ends with Ethiopian coffee or oregano tea. No founding year and no founder story could be verified, so I am not going to make one up. Reviewers keep coming back to the same three things: the injera, the goat curry, and the coffee. The green spicy sauce gets praised a lot too. A place with a menu this focused, built around one cuisine done properly, is clearly built for people who want the real thing. That is the story the menu tells, and it is enough.

Where Is Zehabesha in Yellowknife?

Zehabesha is at 5030 50 St, Yellowknife, NT X1A 1H1. Phone: +1 867-873-6400. That is the Zehabesha Yellowknife address from the delivery listings and TripAdvisor, and both agree on it. Hours are the one thing I will not pin down completely here. TripAdvisor reports daily hours of 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM, and also lists a late-night second seating of 10:00 PM to 1:00 AM on Sundays and Tuesdays. That late-night listing is TripAdvisor-reported, not confirmed by the restaurant, so check before you go. And do not confuse this Yellowknife Zehabesha with Habesha Market, a different business whose menu prices appeared in search results and are not used anywhere in this article. So, to close the loop on Zehabesha menu prices: combination platters $39.00, tibs $39.00 to $47.00, curries $39.00 to $47.00 with half portions at $24.00 and $25.00, wots $23.00 to $39.00, Ethiopian coffee $10.00, all CAD, all delivery-menu figures last verified November 6, 2026. Go hungry. Order the platter first.
