About Merkato's Vegetarian Combo

The Vegetarian Combo features five of Merkato's beloved vegetarian dishes in one satisfying platter: Miser Wat (slow-cooked red lentils in berbere), Ater Kik Wat (yellow split peas in turmeric), Dinch Wat (potato and carrot stew), Gomen Wat (sautéed collard greens with garlic), and Shiro Wat (smooth chickpea flour stew). All served on a large, freshly made injera — Ethiopia's signature spongy flatbread made from teff or wheat.

This combo is Merkato's best seller for good reason: it offers incredible variety, generous portions, and exceptional value. It is entirely plant-based, making it the ideal choice for vegetarians, vegans, and health-conscious diners. Merkato also offers imported gluten-free Ye'Teff Injera for guests with gluten sensitivities.

"Merkato is my favourite restaurant in Winnipeg. Everything, from the decor and music, to the food, to the proprietress, perfectly emulates the style of a typical Ethiopian cafe. Never crowded, you won't be rushed as you select from an incredible variety of dishes. Serving sizes are large despite the inexpensive prices."

"We were served by the friendly owner of the restaurant, and he suggested the mixed platter, which had seven different dishes (three meat and four vegetable based). Eating Ethiopian style — no utensils, just hands aided by the spongy flatbread — was a fun and unique experience. The total bill was only $50 Cdn all in, so it certainly was good value."
