An incredible experience at Nil Bleu Ethiopian Restaurant!

It's been years since I've had Ethiopian food this good outside of home & Nil Bleu truly exceeded every expectation. The presentation was elegant, the flavors were absolutely authentic & delicious, & the ambiance was warm, beautiful, & spotless. Every detail, from the service to the aroma of the dishes, made the experience unforgettable. I left with a happy heart & a full stomach. I can't wait to go back & thank you Nil Bleu

Wow! If I ever come back to Montreal, I will not think twice about where to go. I will definitely return here. I love Ethiopian food & always search it out whenever I'm in a large city. Nil Bleu was another level above anythingI have ever eaten before.. The presentation & taste of everything was exquisite. I took my time, eating slowly & finishing every last morsel of everything from the appetizer & drink to the main course & the dessert. Though I overate, I am still in a great mood from the experience. Thank you for a memorable & delicious meal!
