Food is great & very tasty but some portions are a bit weird. We ordered the taste menu for 3 people & some of the dishes could barely be split equally between 3 person so everybody could have a proper tasting of everything. Some drinks are served in a tiny, talk glass full of ice. On a 4$ Coca-Cola? Come on... Service was outstanding.
What a gem! Beautiful restaurant with excellent service & delicious food. The turmeric lamb was perfectly cooked, & the caramelized vegetable appetizer was delicious. The service was also friendly & efficient. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience!
Super belle expérience culinaire hors du commun. Nourriture savoureuse, fraîche & différente des saveurs auxquels nous sommes habitués dans les autres restaurants que nous avons l'habitude de fréquenter tous. À essayer au moins une fois dans sa vie. Belle ambiance & bon service également.
Très intéressant, nourriture comme en Afrique de l'est mais manque un peux de saveur de la savane. Le décorum est bien mais le theme n'est pas très africain. Merci Adeli matou & Cléopâtre .

This was better than the best Ethiopian restaurant in Manhattan. Unreal quality of food. The beef gored gored was so good we had to order another plate. The decor is also lovely.
Nourriture excellente dans une ambiance chaleureuse. Le service serait à améliorer - le service était froid & expéditif. Les plats sont bien assaisonnés, goûteux & complexes. C'est le genre de restaurant qu'il faut essayer au moins une fois, mais auquel je ne retournerais pas nécessairement.
This restaurant is located in downtown Montreal walking distance from Sherbrooke metro station very easy fine. The restaurant very clean & the bathroom very clean. Well organized & Very freindly staff. The food very delicious. I oderded thibsi. I highly recommend the Nil Bleu (Le) Restaurant any visitors to relax & enjoy good hot meal.

Premiere fois a ce restaurant éthiopien, cuisine incroyable, le service est excellent, ambiance conviviale. Nous avons pris un Zilzil tibbs & un Doro tibbs, tous deux succulents. On planifie de venir de manière récurrente & essayer de nouveaux plats & découvrir de nouvelles saveurs.
Des plats succulents & cuisine éthiopienne authentique! Le service est impeccable & la qualité des aliments est irréprochable! Je recommande à tout coup !
