Nile Ethiopian Restaurant

Food is absolutely delicious. We had the full vegetarian combo and the chicken pot. Very generous portions. One plate is enough for more than 2 people. Our server was very polite, helpful and kind. They have even created a small little Ethiopia corner in the restaurant. Will visit again. And yes, they have some lovely Ethiopian beers too. We enjoyed the Hambesha beer.

My first time trying Ethiopian food with a friend. We had three dishes, but I can't recall the names. I will definitely be back. Wonderful and delicious experience.

I’m no expert on Ethiopia food. This was only my third time ever. But I ate with a friend who had lived in Ethiopia for five years. This is his go to Ethiopian place in Denver. We had the lamb and it was wonderful. The atmosphere and the service is excellent.

Nile is by far one of the best Ethiopian restaurants I have been ever been to! The food was amazing!! We got the veggie combo and lamb derek tibs! Lidia and the rest of the staff were so nice to us, and the service was great!! I would highly recommend coming to the Nile if you are looking for delicious Ethiopian food!!!

During our stay in Denver, we visited Nile Ethiopian Restaurant almost every day—and for good reason. From the moment we walked in, we felt completely at home. The food is authentic and full of the rich, traditional flavors we know and love. Every dish tasted just like home cooking, reminding us of Ethiopia with each bite. The service was warm and welcoming, and the owner went out of their way to make us feel like family. If you’re looking for genuine Ethiopian hospitality and flavor, this is the place to go. Highly recommended!

A great little spot, lots of options and the waitress was very helpful; I initially picked a dish and she warned me it was pretty spicy and when I asked for a recommendation she suggested Lamb Tibs, which is easier for the kitchen to make milder. I got it medium and it was the perfect spicy so I'm glad she said something or I might not have been able to handle the other dish (Lamb Kay Wot if I remember)! Fair warning they do cook the meat with the bone on so if you get a stew style dish you may have a bone piece in it, be careful. It was easy to notice and eat around and I'm sure it wouldn't be as delicious without it, but if you've never eaten something similar it could be unexpected. Once we were sat and had ordered, the waitress disappeared and we ended up waiting for boxes and the check for about an hour longer than I would have wanted. They were very busy at the time, so initially I wasn't bothered, but I did notice a table that arrived after us was able to finish and pay and leave before we were checked on again which was frustrating. It was a contrast to her awesome service in general: when she was at our table she was a rockstar, but when she wasn't there I felt very forgotten which was frustrating. She was nice and very apologetic about it. Maybe she was new and hasn't gotten the pacing of multiple tables down yet. Anyway it didn't ruin the experience, just a little irksome. Will definitely be returning!

Very delicious food and friendly staff. I’ve never had Ethiopian food before, but this food was so delicious 😋 I totally recommend it 😋

I spend at least $125 per week. I do not know if the cook changed or if they are tired of my business but they sold me something different when I order the same plate every day. They put way too much rosemary?? Also I’ve been taking my daughter to this restaurant witch she loves, she went a couple of times there to get the lamb Awaze witch she loves because she gets it most of the time and thaw last time she got it there was a peace of glass in her food. My daughter did reported back to the restaurant about the peace of glass in her food and they refunded her money back.

Went here for lunchtime on Valentine's day and had a super lovely experience. We ordered a couple sambusas (very tasty) and the vegetarian combo, which is always what I get at Ethiopian places. There were two kinds of yellow lentils, plus red and green lentils and shiro wot. Of course also there were potatoes/carrots, green beans, cabbage, and collard greens. Not every vegetarian combo at every Ethiopian place gives you so many options, so the rainbow of lentils was great. The service was very kind and nice to us and the environment was quiet. We had plenty of food to take home as leftovers, and we received a new basket of injera to go home with our leftovers as well. The prices were a little high but that's fine with me as there's no way I could make so many such dishes at home, and both my partner and I each had multiple dishes of leftovers to enjoy after as well. The flavors were incredible and we can't wait to go back. Very nice meal and a happy time for us.

Fantastic, best Ethiopian food in the area. I had been searching for a good place to go since leaving Washington, DC. I've tried a few places that were recommended on here, and everywhere has had the same great service, but nowhere compares to the food at Nile. I've only done take out, but every time, the ladies here have been full of smiles. There is always someone else eating at one or two of the tables. One dish I had never tried was the Sambusa. I am now permanently hooked on the lentil Sambusa. They are so good as an appetizer or quick meal.

One of the first Ethiopian restaurants we tried after moving to Denver. The first night we came, there were no vegetable sides available so we decided to come back another night - and glad we did. Lamb tibs were delicious (though low meat to sauce ratio). Veggie sides all tasty too. Service may seem slow to some, so allow plenty of time and patience. More expensive than a few other spots we've tried. (FYI closed on wednesdays)

Some of the best Ethiopian food in the U.S. Lots of vegan options. Great value. Location: In a mini mall with plenty of free parking. Ambiance: Casual and clean. Food: If you have not had Ethiopian, don't be intimidated. Staff is very helpful and food has similarities to Indian food in terms of spice level and cooked veggie forward. Loved every dish, distinct spices in each and you eat with your fingers (pull off some sour bread and grab the food with it). Soooo good!! loved it. We had chicken, lamb and beef plus large veggie combo plus beer. $110 for 4 people and we were stuffed.

Met up with a pastor mentor of mine who recommend the place as the most authentic Ethiopian dining in Denver. He was not wrong, as soon as you enter you are greeted with an amazing rush of smokey incense and the smell of amazing flavors. We ordered the vegetarian plater then added an order of chicken stew and beef to add to the feast. We ate to our hearts content and there was still more left to take home. Everything tasted spectacular, I can't wait for the next time I get to meet up with my friend here again. Till then I'll keep dreaming of of this culinary adventure.

They make their food with love so it may take a while but you won't be disappointed, the food is amazing including the vegetarian options. The Best Ethiopian restaurant in Aurora in my opinion.

I can NOT believe I forgot to write a review for this place! I ABSOLUTELY love Nile Ethiopian restaurant. The food is SPECTACULAR. I am new to Ethiopian food. The waiter and manager were not only very patient with me and my sister's questions, they were nice enough to give us a separate sample of the spices to try! They were so welcoming to other cultures trying their cuisine out. The four out of five star rating is mostly due to the wait of the food. Smelling the spices in the back whilst hubgrily waiting was a torture that was worth enduring.

Since my "adopted Ethiopian family" introduced me to this restaurant in 2014, we've been eating here! Since it's under new ownership, it has a whole new look, and the food is just as incredible as it's always been! For newcomers, order the veggie combo with beef or lamb tibs - thank me later!!

I was craving Ethiopian food and came across this place . Had the chicken wot and it was delicious ! I'd come back again in a heartbeat ! Clean restaurant, good vibe and such flavorful chicken wot!

We had a large group and the staff were amazingly patient, welcoming, attentive, and of course the food was great! A good variety of meat and vegetarian options.

Super Delicious Veggie platter with Lamb tibs. The server was super sweet patient as we asked a million questions. I would certainly go back. As for ambiance its a mixed bag... st first it felt like I was in the wrong lace. The signage is bad and the entry feels a bit odd but once settled in the booth it felt was cozy.

The samosas at tonight's Yelp event were fantastic as well as the owners graciousness. I can't wait to get over to the restaurant for a full meal!

I'd heard a lot of amazing things about Nile and I'm so glad I finally stopped by. This Ethiopian food was packed with amazing and unique flavors. My friend and I got the veggie platter to share and we also took leftovers home so come in knowing that the serving sizes are large.

Food was good service is very slow and inattentive.. the cost is a 5 out of 10. It would be higher as the taste is good but the portion size is very small for that you pay for. They definitely should offer bigger portions. I left there still hunger after sending cost to $60.

The best most authentic Ethiopian restaurant in the Denver area! I've been coming to the Nile for years now. Their food is a special treat for me and brings me comfort. When I am extremely stressed I would pick up a few of my favorite dishes and it would make my day much better. I will be coming back soon for my veggie combo platter and lamb Derek tibs

Oooo! I've been wanting to try Nile for ages and finally got the chance this past weekend. It absolutely met and possibly exceeded my expectations. The inside is nice with a stage I assume is for music sometimes. It was totally full on a Sat night but my friend and I didn't wait long. Our sever and the other servers who made sure we had water and napkins were all sweet and attentive. We both got some spinach and lentil Sambusa. They were good, but we both noted that we prefer them at Queen of Sheba. But, the vegetarian combo was spectacular! It had more Wats than the other Ethiopian joints I've tried in and around Denver (there's even a little salad for freshness), and each Wat was more delicious than the next. Totally worth the drive to Aurora!

I had their lentil and spinach sambusas at a Yelp elite event, and they were my favorite from the whole event! Soooo flavorful and puffy, and the sauce was delicious- had a kick but a tolerable and perfect spice level. I've been wanting to try Ethiopian food for awhile, and now I can't wait to come back! The owner was so nice as well, I would come back just to chat with him! Thanks so much for some super tasty bites and great company :)

A foodie friend had a gift card for Nile Ethiopian Restaurant and invited me along for lunch. And I gotta say, I'm not too familiar with the area, and this place wasn't even on my radar, but SO glad I was invited! They've reopened for dine-in, and there were a couple of tables already in there on a Saturday afternoon, but the dining room is much bigger than it looks from the outside, so the tables were well spaced-out. Back to our meal - we were already full from a little dessert adventure, so decided to share the Veggie Combo and Lamb Tibs. There were a few Lab Tibs on the menu, but decided on #17. If you're trying to make up your mind on which Lamb Tibs to go with - go with this one! I believe it was the Lamb Tibs FirFir which was perfectly cooked cubed lamb sautéed with onion, rosemary, tomato, and green pepper. So good! The Vegetarian Combo was delicious and flavor - samplings of the different kinds of chickpeas and lentils, spicy and mild, spread out on large Injera. And this Injera, btw, was so soft, spongy, and thick! The perfect, fluffy injera to accompany our Ethiopian feast. Very pleasantly surprised by this very unassuming restaurant off Havana St. Would definitely come back here again for the same exact meal. Delicious!

Kind of expensive (but again, i'm sure most food / dining options have gone up in price now), but the food was definitely filling and yummy. We ordered the veggie combo, the chicken and a beef dish. They kept giving us injera and all of us left full. Definitely need to be patient (not a super fast dine and go option), but we had a great time here.

I have been coming to Nile on and off for about 5 years. I tried several Ethiopian restaurants in Denver and eventually settled in on Nile as my go to Ethiopian restaurant. My favorite dish is their vegetarian combo, while most Ethiopian restaurants let you order 4, 5 or 6 items and charge accordingly, Nile put 10 or 11 items on their combo and at a very reasonable price. The taste is just as good as the other places, so why not come here instead. No utensil, tear a small piece of the injera and use right hand only to grab food from the plate, wipe the hand on a napkin if it gets too messy, keep your left hand clean to pick up your drink or to spoon food on your plate. The service can be slow if they are busy but the servers and the owner are very friendly.

Don't go here if you are actually hungry. It took 20 minutes to get our order taken and another 20 to get our waters. Then it was an hour more to get our food. And it wasn't even good. Overpriced and just not good. There are so many other Ethiopian restaurants in Aurora that are amazing. I wanted to make sure I tried them all, but never again on this one.

Until yesterday (July 11, 2020), I don't think I had ever had Ethiopian food in a real sense. It was my friend's choice last night for our dinner as his friend recommended this Nile Restaurant. I did see the mixed reviews by others on Yelp (from 1 star to 5 stars) but I am a firm believer of the statement, "I have to try it to decide if I like it or not"; hence the last night's dining in. To state in a very succinct way, it turned out to be an amazing experience at this restaurant, and it didn't ruin my somewhat high expectation. The vegetarian combo, one of the lamb entrees, and the appetizer (lentil and spinach sambusas) were all impeccably cooked and tasted delicious to our taste buds. It also became an educational opportunity for us to learn about the Ethiopian cuisine (I had no clue that injera was the name of the Ethiopian bread; it's like the naan as to the Indian cuisine. Ingera, however, is very spongy like other reviewers stated.) Everything on the menu looked very intriguing where if I got the opportunity to dine at this restaurant once every week, I'd try from the very first item to the very last item on the menu. The portion is quite much compared to the price; you'll definitely get what you'll pay for. A few things to note about the restaurant. This is not necessarily a fancy restaurant. The inside is very plain so don't go there expecting to experience a great ambience; just focus on the quality of the food. Also, we had to wait for our food to arrive for a good amount of time. I couldn't tell if it just happened to be a slow day (where there were not enough cooks to make all the orders in a timely manner) or not. We went there around 4:00 to beat the normal dinner rush (especially during the COVID as the seating is now limited.) It wasn't necessarily busy at the time of our arrival. Or maybe it takes time to cook/prepare Ethiopian food? Whatever the case may be, give yourselves a plenty of time to sit down and eat where you are not obligated to do anything afterwards!

Delicious food and beautiful ambiance -- but 40 minute wait for food after ordering & the pricing on the yelp menu is wrong by almost 50%, so my meal was significantly more expensive than anticipated. Otherwise I would give 5 star!

After driving an hour and 20 min from Boulder, I sat down with a party at 6:20 PM for a reservation at 6:30 PM. Unfortunately, they only served our food at 8:20 PM. I waited 2 hours to eat. I left angry, hungry, and disappointed at 8:20 PM as I had another commitment to attend. Other parties came after us and were served their food before us. We talked to our waitress and the kitchen, but it did not help. We ended up canceling some dishes as people needed to leave.

I would rate it 3 and half stars. It was my first Ethiopian food experience. We ordered two vegetarian platters. They get the two portions to the table on a single plate, probably it's a culture to share from the same plate. The vegetarian platter comes with a salad and 7(or more) other sides. ( 2 kinds of lentils, 4 kinds of vegetable sides, to mention a few) They all tasted good, though not full of spices. I am unsure if that's how their lentil is seasoned or if it has been tamed down. They also give you more injera if you would like some more. What I didn't like was the wait. They weren't too busy when we went in, also the sides on the platter are most likely not 'cooked to order'. So I didn't understand the wait of 15+ minutes for something that just needed to be spooned onto a plate.

We came in here at 10:50pm (they close at 2am)- we ordered and our food came out at 11:50pm.. there was one other table beside us. If you come here hungry, make sure you eat beforehand cus you'll die from hunger before getting your food. I asked for a side of salad, it came out with 4 pieces of lettuce. The only reason why I'm giving them two stars is because the food is actually decent.

This is an update from my last review. I gave 5 stars because food was delicious, and still is. A lot of my Ethiopian friends recommend this place, so I know the food has to be good. I figured last time that they were just having an off day and service was slow just that one time. I came here again, they weren't very busy, but goodness, service was ridiculously slow. We sat ourselves, and knew what we wanted pretty quickly and food came out about half an hour later. Half an hour! Last time I came here, I thought maybe that it just takes a long time for Ethiopian food to be made, but I've been to other Ethiopian restaurants and food came out much quicker. Trying to give them the benefit of the doubt, we finished our food and it took another 10 minutes to flag someone down and ask for the check. Then ANOTHER 10 minutes to actually get the check. Service gets 1 star. On a better note, food was super yummy. We got the vegetarian combo and a bowl of beef and peppers on top of delicious injera. If you've never tried it, and you love sweet wine, try the Ethiopian honey wine! It's my new favorite thing. Tastes just like some kind of apple cider to me. Sweet and refreshing. The food is super good here, but honestly! Do NOT come here if you're in a hurry.

The food is amazing, this is probably one of the top Ethiopian Restaurants in Denver when your measuring it by the food alone. I will definitely be ordering take out from here. Service on the other hand is not that great. This is probably on my top 5 worst service experiences in Denver. The staff was not outright rude but very negligent of customers. The person that seems like they were in charge spent most of their time conversing and sitting at another table. It seems like the group that came in was his family or friends. This alone wouldnt have made it a bad experience but the waitress just came around randomly when ever she felt like. There were several instances where we needed something and we couldnt waive her down the manager had to get up from the table he was at and have her come help us. Again the food is great and maybe we came on an off night but the service as pretty bad.

If you are looking for great Ethiopian food, look no further than Nile--trust me, this is the best Metro Denver has to offer. You will leave here feeling satisfied, and probably STUFFED...because you'll over eat, because it's just THAT good. If you've never had Ethiopian, let me break it down for you. It consists of "injera"--a spongey-like break they is topped with your choice of dishes. I stick to my usuals which are: the veggie combo, quanta firfir (beef & injera mixture), kitfo (marinated raw meat), and beef tibs (beef stew). All are delicious and will not disappoint. *PLOT TWIST* you eat all of this deliciousness with your hands, shocker, I know. Don't be that weird person that eats with a fork, you'll get stares and we'll judge you. "When in Rome, do as the Romans do"--it's totally a part of the experience. The only drawback to this place is you'll wait quite a while for your food, but that's because the majority of the menu is made FRESH, but it's a cultural difference that you'll just have to put up with--the food is more than worth it.

It seems like you could fly to Ethiopia from Colorado faster than the service at the Nile Ethiopian Resturant. We got to the restaurant when there were 3 tables with customers, two already had their food. We ordered a simple Vegetarian combo and tibs. After 70 minutes, we were still waiting for our food, with no explanations, no apologies, and no visits to our table (beyond our initial water) without even a cracker while we waited. The food (the beef was burnt and the peppers underdone) was good enough, but come on...over an hour wait?!? Never again.

Amazing! For an appetizer me and my boyfriend shared 1 spinach and 1 lentil sambusa which were both excellent. We had the vegetarian platter and the lamb tibs awaze. Perfect portion for two in my opinion. Highly recommend.

Obsessed is an understatement. I come here at least once a week. I always get the veggie combo because there is a ton of variety, which as a vegetarian is important to me! The food is consistently delicious and the staff is very friendly. There is also plenty of parking which I know is important to a lot of people. I tell everyone about this place, I couldn't recommend it enough. Oh and my boyfriend is a meat lover and says the meat is delicious! :)

Was okay, but not as good as it used to be (service was good) Meat is kind of tough, vegetarian combo not as tasty as before

Gather round, folks, and I will regale you with a magical, mystical story. Once upon a time, years ago, there was a restaurant called Nile, which offered the metro area's only (at the time) Ethiopian buffet lunch. As exciting as this development was, the powers that be felt that it was lacking a little oomph. So, the place became the recipient of not only a makeover, but also a new name (Artist Inyie) thereby also squelching the fabled buffet. But no, the throngs were still not coming en masse (despite much praise from the Aurora Sun-Sentinel). Therefore, it was decided to go back to basics. Inyie would once again become Nile, although the buffet was still not revived. Gentle readers, that brings us to the present day, and the focus of this review. Nile Ethiopian Restaurant is probably the best-known of the five Abyssinian ambassadors which line Havana Street. Part gathering-place, part nightclub (with live music from Washington DC [the Ethiopian capital of the US] and even further afield), and part chow-hall, it entices, excites and energizes. For appetizers, why not try a Sambusa (crispy, flaky, meat or lentil pastries). Their Ayib be-Mitmita (spiced homemade cottage cheese) is also the biziggity-bomb, if I do say so myself. But don't stuff yourself too silly just yet! The main course is coming up, and you don't want to miss this. The menu offers so many choices! There's Yedoro We't - chicken stewed in aromatic Berbere sauce with a hardboiled egg, to symbolize the union of parent and child. Or maybe Yebeg Tibs - lamb and rosemary stirfry served sizzling on a hotplate - Ethiopia's answer to fajitas. Go on, splurge a little. Be daring and try the Kitfo - ground beef served raw (customarily), Lebleb (cooked just a little), or, if you must, thoroughly cooked (but don't be surprised if everyone around you goes "BOOOOOOOOOO!" if you order it this way. Oh, of course they wouldn't really do that). As Coptic Christians, the most reverent Ethiopians refrain from eating meat for 200 or more days out of the year (don't forget that Ethiopia uses the Julian calendar and is on a 13-month system). Is it any wonder, then, that there are so many dazzling vegetarian dishes on the menu? Why, there's Yemisir We't (perky red lentil puree), Ye-Kik Alicha (buttery yellow split peas), Gomen (knockout greens)... or why not do a Combination? Remember, around here food is served with only one utensil, the fermented crepelike bread called Injera, properly made from teeny-tiny grains of Teff. Tear off a piece (right hand only please!) and soak, dip and grab your way to culinary Nirvana. Why not treat your dining partners to Gursha, and feed them by hand (a great honor)? If Fate is smiling on you, you may visit during a coffee ceremony, where the beans will be roasted and brewed (thrice!) right in front of you as the scent of frankincense wafts through the air. Enjoy the rich brew the traditional way, with freshly popped corn. Nile Ethiopian Restaurant brings to you a little taste of the Horn of Africa, right in Aurora! And don't forget - after (or better yet, before) you stuff yourself you can pop into the Bukharian grocery in the same stripmall called Solomon's (see review), and check out their tasty treats.

The food is amazing with the most delicious spices. I love this place and the wait staff. I have one major disappointment; a combination plate is not available anymore. It is strictly a vegetarian dish or meat only. I have come to the Nile for years and now that is not offered. Unfortunately, there are other Ethiopian Restaurants I will check out to see if they have a combination plate. It is not my desire to eat a meat dish only with no other accompaniments. We did order a chicken dish that had one tiny leg, not enough for one serving. I ordered the vegetable dish. The other order would have made me angry enough to never return, but the vegetable plate was enough for the both of us. Is this restaurant under new management?

This was my first time ever eating Ethiopian food. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised as to how good the food was. The lamb was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. Everyone there was extremely nice and helpful to someone who didn't know anything about the items on the menu. I will definitely go back.

I am Eritrean and had 4 non habisha friends with me. Nike is clean with appropriate decor. The Yetimatim Fitfit was the best I have had, so much so that we ordered another round for an appetizer. For the main we ordered the Zilzil Tibs and the vegetarian combo. It's the best Ethiopian I have had in Denver. The prices are reasonable and the food is just great. The service was lacking but I believe she may have been a fill in. Nile has become my new favorite Habisha restaurant.

I like the atmosphere and the wait staff understand my needs well. I always have ordered the same thing - Veggie Plate. It comes with all the Injeera you need and lots of lentils with different spices and consistencies. The beans and potato items do have a lot of visible oil on them so avoid them if you are avoiding oil. Overall, I enjoy the food here with the Injeera and the spiced lentils. Plan to return here.

Eating with your hands? Dragged my man to my hair appt... solely for us to have lunch here too. Was not disappointed... it was so good! He is going vegetarian so not sure what he ordered... but I kept stealing bites because it was so damn good! (Ps- that's his order in my pic) I got the Chicken Wot. It was such a perfect mix of sweet and spice. The staff was also super sweet. We can't wait to go back!!

Nile is by FAR the best Ethiopian restaurant I have had in CO. Beefs tibs is a favorite! Customer service has gotten better, but the food is beyond worth it!

Some friends brought us here to try Ethiopian food for the first time and it was a pretty fun experience. We ordered the vegetarian platter so we were able to try a bunch of different dishes. The food was good, the atmosphere was comfortable, and it was priced fairly. The only reason I give it less than five stars is because we waited a good 45 minutes to get our check and that was after we had to flag down our server. There were probably a dozen tables and several servers so there's really no reason it should have taken that long to come check on our table.

Nile Restaurant used to have excellent service, when the previous owner Aster was there. I knew her when she was living in Minneapolis and used to be a restaurateur there too. The new owners are trash, and their customer service is non-existent. They either never answer the phone or when they answer they are very rude. If, you go to the restaurant itself, you will be waiting for at least an hour to get served food. Being a Somali from the Jijiga, Harar region, there are a lot of Somali/Oromo/Ethiopian Restaurants that serve Delicious Lamb Tibs. Nile used to remind me of that. Not anymore. Avoid this restaurant like the plague!

This spot is disgusting! They do not practice social distancing AT ALLL! They never clean the tables, the cooks in the back DONT wear masks, they don't separate tables by 6 ft, and they allow groups larger than 6 members to sit together. This NEEDS to be reported to the health department. If Covid-19 spreads THEY ARE THE REASON! Not to mention they're absolutely rude! They don't bring the food in a timely manner and they don't bring the check in a timely manner. Even the owner herself SUCKS! She doesn't hold her servers responsible for their actions and makes the customers feel wrong. If you care about your health, your time, and your money DO NOT EAT HERE! Ps. They also got a F rating by the health department that was on 9 news! And they continue to be allowed to serve food. https://kdvr.com/news/local/raw-meat-stored-over-vegetables-serious-mistake-for-failed-restaurants/

Lovely food, but slow inattentive service. After we ordered, it took 45 minutes to get our entrees and another 10 to get our appetizers. During the waiting time, no one checked to see if we wanted to order another drink. Ideally, I would have ordered another drink and would have liked the appetizers before the entrees. We also had to try hard to flag someone down for more injera.

So! I have to say the Nile has good food however, the service is abusive. I say that because when you go...and I have been a few times, weather its busy or only a few customers it takes minimum an hour for you to get your meal. I have waited almost 2 hours before. AGAIN, the Nile has amazing food and I think that's why people sit and wait soooooo long for their food. If your hungry, you might want to go somewhere else unless you want to be "hangry" by the time your meal arrives. If the service and customer service was better and quicker then I'd love to give 5 stars. I had the lamb and the vegetarian platter during my last visit and it was so good. When I have patience I'm sure I'll be back to enjoy a meal. It's not often that I go so, hopefully, the service improves sooner than later. BTW, be ready to pay. As much as the food cost, the wait time should not be that darn long. Everyone's experience is different so you decide when you go and have your experience...

Delicious food and excellent service! The spinach sambusa was amazing, and the veggie platter (with 8 different dishes!!) was large and quite tasty. The service was friendly and timely. We'll be back!

Great food great service wonderful dining experience. Recommend this restaurant for all adventurists.

Delicious and authentic dishes. I've been here a couple times already and appreciate the speedy service.

I was super disappointed with this restaurant and the service (the waitress). I am visiting out town and my sister said their food is good. So we order vegetable combo and doro wot and side of shiro ahead. This way we don't wait long once we arrived. We arrived and it was busy but we found a seat and told the waitress we ordered already and than she said ok and asked if we want water and didn't come back at all . Than we flagged her down 20mins in because we our little ones were hungry by now. We asked about food and she said five minutes, another ten minutes and I told my sister lets go but she said lets wait few more. After our food arrived, i was shocked our Shiro was COLD!! (Out of fridge cold) I was furious who serve cold food to customers, those waitress were RUDE and disrespectful.......I told her it was cold and she said no it's not. I told her put ur finger in it and check . She look at me rudely and carried away the bowl of Shiro and didn't wait until I finish telling the rest on the plate was cold too. By this time I was soo pissed and just feed the kids whatever was decent cause we already been too long to go else where. Seriously all the food we order was things that they warm up in the microwave (precooked food), they were just rude and don't care about the job. To the owner of the restaurant ...save ur restaurant and get ride of all ur waitress. I am sure there are ppl who would appreciate that job more than these girls and do it with happiness. I heard your food is good when u are there but when service is BAD no one wants that.
