I had the saute sole fish filet (yeassa watt) & the spinach sauteed with onions & garlic (Gommen) which was very good. The Injeria was nice, but I got full fast from the bread. Wish I had someone else to share the Injeria with. Sadly, I couldn't finish it all by myself. The fish was nice & lite, not spicy for me. The spinach was nice as well. The service was great. Very attentive staff. I received a nice hot towel for my hands as a refreshment before the start of the dish. Very nice service.
A bunch of friends got together for a meal. We all hadn't been to Nil Bleu in years. It was unanimously a great meal, excellent food, service & atmosphere. Highly recommended.
J'ai réservé pour un anniversaire & tout s'est parfaitement bien passé ! L'équipe a été très attentionnée du début à la fin, le service était excellent & les plats bien savoureux. Un grand merci à Nizar pour son professionnalisme & sa gentillesse, il a vraiment contribué à rendre ce moment spécial. Je recommande sans hésiter !
Nous y étions dimanche soir dernier pour célébrer un anniversaire. EXCELLENT service de la part du serveur, Kevin, & de toute l'équipe (la dame gérante & le jeune homme qui assistait le serveur, même le livreur croisé à l'entrée nous a accueilli avec chaleur! ). Non seulement nous étions attendus mais notre arrivée était préparée & nos moindre besoins anticipés. Le tout avec une immense gentillesse & politesse. À l'heure où le service s'est perdu dans plusieurs établissements montréalais, celui de l'équipe du Nil Bleu a contribué a égayer notre soirée. Nous les remercions tous & bien entendu, nous y retournerons.
Service de Ty, très professionnel & vrai!!! Joyeux & non harcelant, merci infiniment pour les recommandations très harmonisées avec nos goûts. Belle expérience encore une fois. Toujours surprenant!!!
I love Ethiopian food for their vegan dishes! The vegan tasting menu consist of:
a platter with 4 small appetizers
Bouticha: chick pea mousse
Yetiamtim salad: tomato salad (tangy & refreshing)
House salad: caramelized veggies (warm & sweet)
Yeberdjane: marinated eggplants (cold)
& 5 flavours served over Injera
Yekik Alicha: turmeric split peas
Zucchini Sire: zucchini & beets
Yatakelt Watt: carrots, potatoes & cabbage
Yemesser Watt: berbere lentils (spicy)
Gommen: spinach, onion & garlic
The stewed vegetables seasoned with spices are all delicious. For those who want gluten-free, they have rice or quinoa for substitution.
Ethiopian Sun is a mix of mango, orange, pineapple & peach juice.
It's a generous size dish. They also have vegan dessert but I was full. :P
