This was my second time going there with my daughter & we get first class service, I was impressed! The inside was Warm & cozy, Lovely decor, Very classy & romantic. The food was AMAZING!!! & still the same, still great, The hummus was different than others I've tried, also the injera was so so delicious, everything we ordered was delicious. The staff were very friendly & helpful making recommendations. The Bathrooms are very interesting too. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting or living in Montreal who want to try something new! It is the best Ethiopian food we have ever had We will return. Five out of five. Well done! I read the reviews & people complaint that the service is slow ,it was quick for me & I am satisfied.

The experience at Blue Nile was truly like no other. The food & service was overall good aside for some weird comments from a waiter. However, the aftermath was nothing short of bad. 8 out of the 11 people in our group had terrible stomach pain lasting more than a day. We called the restaurant & were informed that our stomachs were just too weak to handle the meat. They also told us that the tartare might be the culprit as it was meant to be eaten within 5 minutes of being served; a warning we never got. Overall, I give it 2 stars as it was a memorable night (for the wrong reasons) & a unique group bonding experience.

Very, very noisy the evening we went (Oct. 21, 2023 after 7.30 pm). Ruined our evening a little bit, but we will be back for the food & the nice atmosphere, when things are quieter!

My friends & I had a great dinner at Nil Bleu. As it was our first times trying Ethiopian food, the waiters were helpful in telling us about the dishes & portion sizes.
As a group of 4 we got the vegetarian sampler for 2, & then ordered two additional meat dishes off the menu. It was more than enough food for us all as there was even some leftover.
I would highly recommend them for their food, & service. Great flavours to their dishes.
