I enjoyed my visit and all the food I tried. I got the veggie sambusa, veggie appetizer platter (tomato salad and seasoned cold lentils with injera), and the veggie sampler platter for the entree. The service was good. The staff was friendly. I would recommend stopping in.

Good Ethiopian food but by no means the best we’ve had—it was authentic, but didn’t seem to have been made “with heart”. We had their special Nile lunch for two. Of the items provided there were only two that we thought were above average, the collards and one of the two chicken preparations. The service and atmosphere were also pleasant enough but lacked “heart and conviction”. Though authentic, this restaurant smacks of being geared to the tourist market rather than set up to serve the best Ethiopian food, service and ambience possible at this price point.

This is by far the very best Ethiopian I’ve ever had! We had the chef’s special, the in house wine, the Wolfstrap red wine, and the Ethiopian coffee. Everything was fabulous but besides the food, the honey wine and
Coffee really stood out. The honey wine is made in house and tastes like a carbonated mead – sweet and delicious. The coffee is strong and flavorful but the presentation is an experience you really shouldn’t miss. Our waitress was so friendly and knowledgeable it made me brave enough to try new things and I’m so glad I did.
You should go. You’re welcome

Brought my family here after seeing it on IG. We were in town for the holiday break and upon arrival were greeted immediately. We waited patiently for our food and have to say it was WORTH the wait. Food was excellent and satisfying. You can tell they took their time and have earned a returning customer in the near future.

Came here for lunch and ordered the dinner combo for two. More than generous portions, super flavourful, especially the red lentils and split pea, with once exception (one of the beef items which was chewy) the meat was tender and tasty. The service was excellent and atmosphere relaxed. It’s not too far from the convention center and would definitely recommend it.

I started with the Tomato Fitfit and had the vegetarian sampler for my entree. I had come intending to get the Misir Wat but decided to try the sampler which included the Misir Wat and other items. Everything was delicious. I left full but not stuffed. Next time I am in Orlando this will be on my planned places to eat.

We love to explore international food, and Nile Ethiopian was the perfect place to experience some incredible delicacies! We had the tomato fitfit as our starter, which was incredibly fresh and delicious! It was an excellent prelude to our main course: the meat combination and kitfo. If you like living on the wild side, you’ll enjoy kitfo! It’s semi spicy along with a savory spice mix that complement the raw, minced beef. The meat combination includes a set of well spiced dishes, all incredible in their own right. And, eating with your hands using the injera along with the decor gives you the sense that you’ve been transported overseas. We had great discussion with our waitress, and learned quite a bit about Ethiopian culture, food, and life. We will definitely return!

Easily the best Ethiopian food in Florida. Been there twice now and both times were amazing. Very delicious flavors and of course you eat with your hands! The coffee was fantastic too. Can’t wait to go back to Nile!

Such a great and yummy experience! The workers were super friendly and informative of the food culture. The injera was soft and a perfect pair for all of the stews. We had vegetarians and meat eaters in our party, & everyone loved the food. You also gotta commit to eating with your hands and feeding your loved ones. Definitely recommend if you’ve never tried Ethiopian cuisine:)

Went here with my partner for Florida vacations. This place introduced me to Ethiopian food and had me hooked onto the cuisine ever since. The injera bread is nothing like I’ve ever eaten (sourdough is closest thing I can think of in taste). I loved wrapping the savory fillings/dishes on top into the bread on the bottom. And the ceremonial coffee! So interesting. You have to come here on an empty stomach, because the portions are really filling and cheap for the amount you get. It’s so good, my partner and I dogged the food within 30 minutes when we visited for the second time here. The atmosphere of the restaurant is quiet, yet inviting, cozy, with nice music playing in the background. Servers were always nice and amicable.
