Nile Restaurant and Market

We went to Nile Ethiopian Restaurant for the first time, and it was also our first time trying Ethiopian food. The experience was fantastic! The food was absolutely delicious, full of flavor, perfectly spiced, and served in a way that made the whole meal feel unique and authentic.
We actually walked about 1.5 miles (around 30 minutes) to get there, and it was totally worth it. The injera was fresh and paired beautifully with the different meats and vegetables.
The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff made us feel comfortable as first-time diners of Ethiopian cuisine. We would definitely come back again to enjoy more of the menu and keep exploring Ethiopian flavors.

This place is so delicious! Whenever I am in the District, this is my go-to for Ethiopian. Got take out just a few days ago (combo sampler) and shared with my family and we were all full and happy. I wish I had taken pictures but we devoured every thing so fast there was no time! If you want good, authentic Ethiopian food that won't break the bank, this is your place.

Amazing food with a sweet host. Never had Ethiopian food before but i do feel this was super authentic. Pretty chill vibe as well

I tried this restaurant out because I was in the area and needed to get breakfast. This service was amazing and I had a chat with the owners son who was very helpful in choosing my breakfast option. This was also my first time at an Ethiopian restaurant. Loved it and would go back again soon.

The hostess and the waiter explained the food well. I wasn’t sure what I wanted but they helped me. I had the asa gulash which was fish sautéed with Ethiopian spices and sauce. It was bussin. Felt home cooked. & a great option for food while going through the fast for lent.

Good food, great people

The food is reasonably priced and delicious. Very clean restaurant and kind staff.

Worst customer service! They don’t treat all customers the same way ! I was just trying to grub tea real quick and she brought me with some plastic cap…….and i was trying to pay with my card and they told me too pay with QR code and was not working for me and they where not even happy to help me out so i just left this is not even fair!

During my recent visit to Nile Ethiopian Restaurant, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that instantly made me feel at home. Getu, the owner, was incredibly hospitable and passionate about sharing the rich culinary heritage of Ethiopia. His enthusiasm was evident as he guided me through the menu and provided insightful recommendations.

The highlight of my meal was the traditional Ethiopian platter, beautifully presented on a large injera, a spongy sourdough flatbread that serves as both the plate and an edible utensil. The injera was perfectly fermented, offering a delightful tang that complemented the array of vibrant and flavorful dishes arranged on top.

Among the standout dishes were the Misir Wot, a spicy lentil stew with a robust depth of flavor; the Atakilt Wat, a deliciously spiced mix of cabbage, carrots, and potatoes; and the Gomen, tender collard greens simmered to perfection. Each bite was a harmonious blend of spices and textures, showcasing the complexity and richness of Ethiopian cuisine.

Accompanying the platter was a side of perfectly fried fish, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, served with a wedge of lemon for a refreshing zing. The fresh tomato salad added a burst of freshness, balancing the rich and hearty flavors of the other dishes.

Overall, dining at Nile Ethiopian Restaurant was an exceptional experience, thanks in large part to Getu's dedication and passion.

Recommended to me by a friend of mine, I was delighted to discover this gem. I highly recommend visiting Nile to anyone looking to explore authentic Ethiopian flavors and enjoy a meal that is both satisfying and memorable.
