Ridiculously good Eritrean/Ethiopian food prepared by an extremely welcoming owner! We got the Meat Platter (2-3 pax) for $48 excl. taxes. Food took a while to come but it's 100% worth the wait!

Always a five star experience at Nakfa. I've been here several times & the cuisine is consistently delicious. The service is similarly always top notch & wonderfully warm. (The owners are lovely people.) Highly recommend the post-dinner traditional coffee & popcorn experience!

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.

11/10. The food is a next level experience, with incredible flavors, colors & spices. The service was impeccable & we were received with so much kindness. The decor felt authentic & transported us to Eritrea. All in all, a gem in Montreal to discover.
