Food was good but service was poor. We were served the Vegan tasting meal which is not what we had ordered. The waitress did not even apologize for the mix up. We were also given the bill without being offered any coffee.

Expérience décevante..
Premièrement, j'aimerais spécifier que la nourriture était excellente & que notre première expérience culinaire éthiopienne fut très intéressante, même pour nos deux filles de 4 & 8 ans. Nous avons commandé les assiettes "tasting" végé & avec viande.
Le gros problème, c'est qu'après deux heures nous nous sommes fait mettre littéralement dehors!! Le serveur nous a approché après que nous ayons terminé le plat principal en nous disant que le service était de 2 heures & qu'il faudrait quitter dans les 5 prochaines minutes.. COMPLÈTEMENT INACCEPTABLE !
Nous étions 6 adultes & 2 enfants & nous sommes tous restés sous le choc.
Le service était long, ce pourquoi cela faisait déjà deux heures que nous étions attablés.
Bref, la nourriture est intéressante, mais pour le service & le savoir vivre, on repassera! Disons qu'en payant 300$ notre repas pour 6 adultes, on s'attendrait à plus....

Disappointing experience...
First, I would like to mention that the food was excellent & our first Ethiopian dining experience was very interesting, even for our two daughters aged 4 & 8. We ordered the vegetarian & meat "tasting" plates.
The big problem : after two hours we literally got kicked out!! The waiter approached us after we had finished the main course telling us that the service was 2 hours & we would have to leave in the next 5 minutes.. COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE!
We were 6 adults & 2 children & we were all shocked.
The service was long, which is why we had already been seated for two hours.
In short, the food is interesting, but for the service & good manners, don't expect much! Let's say that it is not a $300 well spent..

Fantastic food (for a reasonable price). The seating feels a bit overcrowded on a Saturday night. Enjoyable experience nonetheless.

We have been to Blue Nile a few times over the years, whenever we are in Montreal. The food is always absolutely delicious, the service rapid. Delicious traditional Ethiopian food - love it!! We'll be back again.
