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.View more

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!View more

The owner was warm & welcoming who took great care in presenting her food. The brown meat stew in the centre was especially tasty. She checked on us frequently & made sure we had enough injera to swoop up all the delicious stew.View more

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!View more

Delicious! We had the mixed vegetarian & meat for two. The service was pretty quick. I've also taken out here & it's been fast. I highly recommend going here!View more

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!View more

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.View more

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!View more

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.View more

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.View more

"I recently visited Nakfa Restaurant & we had an amazing experience! his name is kahsay friendly,attentive gentle man & the atmosphere was cozy & inviting. The food was incredible - we ordered "Meat Combo " & it was flavorful & plentiful. The injera was fresh perfect ! Highly recommend for anyone looking for delicious Eritrean/Ethiopian cuisine in Montreal. from Hamilton O.NView more

The food is superb here, with the spices perfectly balanced. Between this place, Queen Sheba, & Nil Bleu, this one is my favorite. Prices are very reasonable: At $48, this plate (with another side of injera) served myself & my partner who did a half marathon this morning & needed 1500 calories intake. The last time I was here with 2 girl friends, we couldn't finish the plate. Service was warm & friendly; be prepared to wait for slow cooking if you arrive early, though it was well worth the wait.View more

The food was really good, but the injera is stickier & thicker than what I'm used to. They also sell injera, berbere, & shiro paste! Would be nice if they played Ethiopian music instead of a talk showView more
