Amazing food! Best Ethiopian food that I've had in Montreal or Toronto. My friend & I shared a veggie combo & each dish was so flavourful & delicious. We also got a mango smoothie, which was really tasty. The woman who works there (I assume she's the owner) was also really nice & friendly.

I was visiting from Toronto & craving some good Habesha food while in Montreal. After some searching, I found Nakfa Restaurant & decided to give it a try; & I'm glad I did! I ordered the combo for one, which came with a generous mix of meat & vegan options: white tibs, key tibs, shiro, cabbage, greens, salad, & a spicy red key siga wot called zigni. Everything was delicious & well-prepared; full of flavor & cooked perfectly. The portion was just right for one person, & I also enjoyed a nice cup of tea with the meal.

The service was good, though there's a bit of room for improvement. The space is quite small, & it wasn't easy to find a seat. I found the price a bit higher than what I'm used to in Toronto; I paid around $50 including a 15% tip; not sure why the difference, but the quality made up for it.

Overall, it was a great experience & a solid spot for authentic Habesha food in Montreal. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a taste of Eritrean/Ethiopian cuisine in the city!

We went with my family for lunch. We orded one non-fasting combo & one fasting combo. The taste was nice & the meat was tender. The variety of the souce was many which helped to enjoy your favorite source. As there was only one shef who also served us, we waited a bit long (about 25 minutes). As we were craving for Ethiopian food, it was a good choice. I appreciate the effort & dedication of the guy. I advice him not to put earphones while working. I advice to plan for about 2 hours.

I visited this restaurant last week with friends & had such a great experience! The food was absolutely delicious, & the person working there was kind & helpful. It was my first time trying Eritrean cuisine, & I was pleasantly surprised by how similar it is to Ethiopian food. The menu offers great sharing options, & I highly recommend ordering a combo to enjoy with friends. This little gem is definitely worth a visit, & I'm already looking forward to coming back!

Stumbled upon this gem, I was in Côte-Saint-Luc & got hungry, googled restaurants near me & went in solely based on the pictures people shared. Food was outstanding, service was more than 5 stars but Google capped it at 5. Will definitely go again. Had the meat & vegetarian combo for 2-3 ppl. We were 2 & took a good portion home so definitely would be good for 3.
