I’ve been to Paris and around Europe, I’ve traveled the US, and my wife is the best cook I know… but this is the BEST FOOD I’VE EVER EATEN. Ever. It’s so good! My wife agrees. We went back two nights in a row. Get the lamb Tibs special (spicy) with the red lentils and the veggie combo. The coffee is great. The honey wine is amazing. Do it!

We ordered the Chef's Special, and the flavor was on point as usual! We go to the Nile whenever we're in the area. In fact, when we're booking our hotel, we always make sure it's near rhis place because it's that good?

While this meal required some patience, it was totally worth it! My friend and I split the Chef’s Special combo plate and it was hard not to want to lick the plate clean. Both the meats and the veggie options were mouthwateringly good. Service was friendly, but a bit slow. The food more than made up for the long wait. Next time I’m in the area I’ll definitely be looking at this place again!

We don’t know what happened, but my friend and I spent 1.5 hours waiting for just the appetizer. Others were served before us who had come in after, and one couple that came right after us ultimately had to leave before they could receive their food because they had another event to attend.After 90 minutes, the waitress puts napkins down. Think this means food is coming? Wait another 20 minutes for sliced tomatoes and cold, dry lentils with bread (our appetizer).Then wait another 15 minutes for the 2 entrees. During this time, because no one has refilled the empty water glasses, you’ll need to head up to the bar to ask the bartender to spare you some H2O.They were apologetic in the end, but the 2 times we inquired, they would say “it’s ready” and “it’s coming.” Think this place would benefit from setting expectations on time estimates before orders are submitted.Food was good, but I won’t be returning.

Nice place for vegetarian food in Orlando. The vegetarian platter had 4 different curries + Injera. The host was friendly, accommodating and took time to understand our order correctly. I wish they had a similar number of curry options for vegetarian platter like for the non-vegetarian ones. Do try the coffee at the end of the meal!Vegetarian options: Decent vegetarian options, although it could have been better.

I used to serve as a high end food critic. I moved to Orlando and couldn’t find Ethiopian food anywhere. Along came Nile and it was the best Ethiopian I’ve ever had! The atmosphere is great as well, and owners are nice. Will be the first of many dining experiences! Five stars all around!

Love this place! Haven't been in a while but heading there soon. Very accommodating to my son's allergies so they'll be in top 10 forever

Obsessed with my meal, obsessed with the owner mocha, and the lovely amri! Customer service was perfect. Food was perfect. I came all the way from Miami to see my friend and we were just thankful that there was good Ethiopian food in town. I would highly recommend this place and what I want to say most of all is that if you have never had this food before try something new, you ownly live once! 17 years and counting for this place!
