delicious food, & extremely kind & friendly staff! I stayed at Kutuma hotel as well, & the service was so warm. the animal print everywhere was really fun :)
Truly one of the best dinners we've ever had. Nil Bleu is a must visit in Montreal! Incredible food, wonderful atmosphere, & run by the friendliest family.
Un très bon éthiopien qui remplit presque toutes les cases. Deux mini bémols : niveau service, c'est très impersonnel & peu en rapport avec la culture. Niveau confort, certaines banquettes ont une mauvaise assise. Pour le reste, on valide à 100%
The hotel is wonderful with impeccable hospitality & service. The restaurant serves absolutely delicious food & drinks. 10/10 would recommend, & we will be back!

L'accueil est exceptionnellement chaleureux. Restauration excellente ! Déco de grande qualité ! & pour y avoir séjourner par 2 fois, les chambres sont spacieuses ; originales & stylées ! ❤️❤️❤️
The food was so flavourful & colourful. Our waiter Kevin was top notch. The service was incredible. We can't wait to come back. The entrees were beautifully presented as well. My favourite was the lamb & crispy fried beef but every single item was delicious. What a wonderful experience for our table of 11 people.

this is a beautiful restaurant, & the service & the food are well-aligned with the atmosphere. from the hot towels (you will be eating with your hands after all) to the cocktails (yum!) to the mixed plates of delicious, well-spiced food & rolls of the sourdough bread, injera, everything was delicious. no room for dessert, though!
Une belle découverte lors d'un diner d'affaire. Ambiance feutrée & agréable, décoration raffinée, service excellent, courtois & sympathique, & cuisine pleine de saveurs & de surprises. De plus, au regard de l'endroit & de la qualité du service & de la cuisine, nous avons trouvé les tarifs extrêmement raisonnable. Bravo à toute l'équipe du Nil Bleu, nous ne pouvons que vous recomander & revenir bientôt!
This place is among two of my favourite Ethiopian restaurants in Canada! As a vegetarian person of Indian origin, this to me feels like soul food! Absolutely incredible!

Un restaurant exceptionnel aux saveurs délicieuses ! Le service est remarquable, avec une écoute attentive & une grande flexibilité. J'y suis allée deux fois avec des groupes de plus de 15 personnes, & tout le monde a été unanime : la qualité des plats est irréprochable. Je recommande sans hésitation à 150 % ! Merci.
