We ate at Nil Bleu on Christmas night & had a good experience. The food seemed even better than it was on our first visit in January 2020. The spices were subtle & the heat (harissa?) was the right balance. There was just enough food for my husband & myself, so nothing went to waste. Two thumbs up!

Smaller portion than competitors for a higher price. Not a fan of the filet mignon & the lentils which had too much black peppers for me (lentils are usually my favourite dish at Ethiopian restaurants). Everything else was great, especially the Doro Wat, the mousse & the eggplants.
Deuxième fois à ce restaurant. Première expérience assez bonne bien que le service ait été déplorable. Deuxième expérience, une arnaque. Service exécrable & nourriture froide. Restaurant à éviter.

La nourriture est super bonne mais si vous venez le ventre vide, vous serez bien choqué des portions, surtout pour ce prix là!
Mais bon en tant qu'éthiopienne, je me permets de critiquer!
Delicious food. Excellent service & ambiance. I brought my husband here to celebrate his birthday as we both enjoy Ethiopian food. What was also great was seeing so many people from different places enjoying themselves as well. It was a lovely time.
