Les retours sur Nili convergent vers une expérience chaleureuse et gourmande. La cuisine marocaine est inventive et les plats tels que le couscous et la pastilla se distinguent par leur présentation soignée et leurs saveurs riches. L'ambiance est intime et cosy, avec une décoration soignée qui donne une impression moderne mais authentique. Les cocktails et les boissons accompagnent le repas avec des associations bien pensées et une vraie réflexion derrière l'harmonie des goûts. Le service est souvent loué pour sa gentillesse et son efficacité, même lors des soirées chargées. Certains critiques notent des points à améliorer comme une cadence de service parfois lente ou des desserts lourds et des détails de salle à peaufiner, notamment au bar. Dans l'ensemble, la plupart recommandent Nili pour son rapport qualité-prix attractif, sa vibe agréable et l'envie de revenir, à Montréal dans le quartier Mile End ou ailleurs, avec des options végétariennes et véganes et des plats qui mêlent tradition marocaine et touches modernes.
Sometimes, you make bad decisions & end up with a terrible restaurant experience. Tonight was the opposite of that. Great service, amazing food, & just generally great vibes.
Looking forward to my next trip back.

very cozy Moroccan inspired place. Looooved everything about it & the staff is very cute & attentive too. I specially loved the palm hearts salad. Vegetarian & vegan options are available as well!! The dessert, Panna Cotta was amaaaaazing, never had something like it before.
Je vous recommande à 100% ce restaurant. La cuisine est délicieuse, le service est au top & la déco est authentique. Mention spéciale pour Mike qui a été très à l'écoute de nos besoins (allergie). Foncez !!
Beau petit restau cute sans prétention. Il y a un sublime potentiel, mais on dirait qu'il manque un peu de punch dans tous les aspects. Les plats sont bons mais sans plus. Il manquait le petit quelque chose dans tout ce que nous avons commander pour y donner un aspect « yummy & wow ». La présentation des assiettes était intéressante je dois dire! Le service était attentionné & cute. Mais on voit que ce ne sont pas nécessairement des gens qui ont de l'expérience dans le métier. Belle déco. Nous étions assis au bar & nous avons été un peu traumatisé des sièges de bars/barstools. . Ils ne sont aucunement ergonomiques. On flotte dans le vide sans appui pour les jambes & notre partenaire est loin de nous & dans la même situation ☁️☁️. Je ne crois pas y retourner malheureusement.
Cozy little spot with really warm service from both the waitress & owner! Their chicken satay was underwhelming but their desserts & pastilla are amazing....such wonderful combination of flavors & textures.

Stopped by without a reservation on a Saturday night after an event. Luckily got some seats at the bar. The service was amazing & the food was impeccable. Mikey was awesome & the atmosphere & decor of the place doesn't shy away either. Mikey also owns the one of the kind banhmi place next door which holds a special place in my heart. You can tell much thought was put into every aspect of the place - the food, the music, the decor, the service. The drinks were also cool! Would recommend trying the hot & heavy.
In short, highly recommend : easy 4.5. FOOD Started with the artichoke dip. Safe to say that it was the best I had ever had. Chunky , flavourful & delicious. Could have eaten 3 of them. Mom ordered the Moroccan couscous, which had raisins, slivered almonds, walnuts & some other vegetables, with some humous on top. She found each bite to have a different flavour, but would have like there to be more vegetables. Presentation was beautiful. My partner ordered the fish balls & they were cooked to perfection. Soft & tender with a tomatoey sauce. I personally found it a little bland, but he loved it. I ordered the chicken pastillo & it was easily the winner of the night. Flaky, moist with rich flavours & the most delicious combination of ingredients. Perfect proportion size for me. Also incredible presentation. Swear I could eat that 4 times a week. Another highlight, was their slightly spicy & salty homemade sauce. It paired well with EVERYTHING : the artichoke tip, the couscous, the pastillo & the fishballs. I would love to see it available for purchase in jars. Order the MSEMEN for dessert & it was okay.The size was too big for one person, & I felt like it could have used some vanilla ice cream, of apple slices, or a coffee. SERVICE Cannot speak highly enough of the server : super attentive without being invasive. Friendly, authentic & prompt. Great personality that shined through her service & her style. Easily one of the best service experiences I have had in a long time (& I use to be a server). AMBIANCE Comfortable seating with clean tables & amble space. Interesting & engaging decor. I found the music a bit loud (we were right under the speaker & I am slightly hearing impaired). Overall I really enjoyed my first experience & will be returning hopefully soon - especially if they get coffee & star selling the special sauce in jars ;).
Fantastic Moroccan-inspired cuisine with lovely service & a very enthusiastic, engaging chef (maybe the owner, too?) Highly recommend trying as many dishes as possible, all of them are unique & flavorful. Limited seating but if you're ok with the bar (which is right next to the chefs cooking) the vibes are great. Definitely coming back soon!

More italian items on the menu than moroccan. Misleading to brand your restaurant as specializing in moroccan cuisine when there's only have 3 moroccan items on the menu.
First time at Nili- wow! A chic & chill ambiance with friendly staff providing impeccable service. Every dish was fresh, exquisite & delicious. The cocktail was to die for. I cannot wait to try the couscous next time. Merci!
Very tasty meal, the Moroccan Couscous is definitely the winner although the spinach salad was tasty. Excellent service & cocktails, will definitely be visiting again!
