I visited Restaurant Nakfa last weekend for a quiet dinner & was pleasantly surprised by the overall quality of the meal. The atmosphere is quite relaxed, making it a good spot for a casual conversation without having to shout over loud music. The waitstaff was attentive & kept our water glasses filled throughout the night. I found the flavors to be authentic & well-balanced, which is exactly what I was looking for. I will certainly be returning to try some of the other dishes on the menu soon.

A wonderful experience for those who enjoy discovering new cultures through food. Everything was delicious, authentic, & full of flavor. The traditional Eritrean dishes were fantastic, & I must come back to try the coffee ceremony. Highly recommended!

Best Eritrean food I've had in a long time. The portions were generous, the service was phenomenal, & the place had a very authentic feel overall. The owner was also incredibly sweet & did his best to accommodate our large group. Can't recommend it enough.

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!

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.
