The shiro, hamli, & injera were soooo good. I wish I was around to try more of the vegan options they have. & The woman working there was very sweet. Next time I'm in Montreal I'll have to go back!

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!

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!

The food was tasty. I'm a huge fan of Ethiopian food! I did find it quite salty compared to other places I've been & there were only 2 stew options for the vegan dish. It would be nice if there was a couple more stews that came with the order as to have some variety.
