Neighbourhood Moroccan/French eatery and hangout. Fresh cocktails and wine. The unmistakable, colorful, bold, vintage vibe, as well as the community are our inspirations at Nili.
Overall, reviews describe Nili as a cozy, intimate Moroccan-inspired spot with a warm, attentive staff and a thoughtfully curated atmosphere that shines, especially for special occasions like Valentine's Day; the menu features flavorful, beautifully plated dishes such as pastilla and a standout couscous, with many praising the depth of flavor, the balance of spices, and good value for the quality. The drinks and dessert programs are frequently highlighted, with well balanced cocktails and desserts like panna cotta, though a few notes mention heavy desserts or occasional service pacing issues during busy nights. The consensus is that the food is delicious, the vibe is charming and inviting, and when the service runs smoothly, Nili feels like a memorable, high quality go-to in the neighborhood that guests are eager to return to.
Absolutely stunning food. So flavourful & aromatic & presented beautifully. The staff were very friendly & did a uniquely great job describing the menu items when I was having trouble deciding. The aioli focaccia & boulettes de Merlan were mind blowing
Trendy & Tasty spot in the mile-end. Food was delicious with a unique spin on Moroccan dishes. They have a cool indoor setting & also outdoor option. The service was helpful & friendly. The hummus & yogurt dish was 10/10 . The couscous was more filling than it appears .
Very cute & lowkey bistro in the Mile-End with incredible Moroccan inspired dishes. I & my sister had the Moroccan couscous & hummus. Everything we tried was amazingly delicious & absolutely flavourful. The staff were friendly & we liked the atmosphere when it wasn't crowded. Highly recommend the couscous & hummus!
Another excellent meal at Nili. The food was great particularly the couscous & the merlan balls. Service is outstanding & the owner Mikey is passionate about delighting his customers. Highly recommend this hidden gem.
Really enjoyed our experience here! They offer many appetizers & great mains. I got the Couscous with Chicken & it was one of the best meals I have had in a long time. We also tried the Chicken Satay & the flavour was amazing with some of the most tender chicken I have ever had. Great date spot or place to go & share a bunch small plates with friends. Prices were very fair for the quality & amount of food.

We ate here our first night in Montreal. Ashley was a phenomenal server who was warm & helpful. Our food was delicious. We wanted to come back for another meal, but there are so many great options in Montreal, that we opted to try other places.
Really good food, the appetizers are insane. The hummus... my god it was good & same with the couscous as a main dish. The staff was friendly, pleasant & reactive. @Nili Thank you again for the lovely evening

Everything was completely perfect! What is there to say? This is some of the most delicious food I've ever eaten. Yes, the couscous! & I can't wait to go back & try everything else! Save room for dessert which is also perfect. The space is comfortable & has a cool vibe without a hint of pretension. The staff is really nice &, like, authentically nice. This has quickly risen to a top favorite restaurant. Thank you!
