Nile Ethiopian Restaurant

Little hole-in-the-wall authentic restaurant. The actual menu is smaller than what they have on the website but oh, so worth it. Wonderful tangy injera and large portions. If if you and your dining partner or different meals you have the option of having the meals served individually or as a single platter so everyone can share. This is going to be a monthly stop when I go to Jacksonville to shop at Fairfield Farms right around the corner.

Vegetarian options: I had the vegetarian platter which had 8 vegetable offerings and plenty of injera. I had to take some home from lunch and had it room temperature for dinner.

the food is very nasty a man is very rude i do not recommend going here it’s very bad service and food very nasty

First time at this place and the food was absolutely amazing. The man who served us was so kind and the food felt like it was made with love. Such a nice peaceful environment. Would definitely recommend if you’re willing to try something new!

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!! 10/5Seriously one of the best dishes I’ve had in a long time.We ordered the vegetarian combo (closest) and the meat combo (farther) to get a little bit of everything. Highly recommend if you haven’t tried Ethiopian or haven’t had any in a long while, like us. Fast, tasty, great atmosphere.

ድንቅ for wonderful. Look the people, I miss eating with my hands and the spices were dancing in my mouth. Bring your friends!

Both times we have been here, it was almost completely empty. Turn off you would think... WRONG! Placed in the middle of a random strip mall off University Blvd. With a laundry mat next door this unassuming place serves the best Etheopian in Jax. It's family owned and run and the food is amazing, as well as the service.Get ready to dive in with your hands, because it's traditional and they don't not offer utensil options unless you ask for them. It's something completely different than most restaurants that you will see in the city... it's a complete hidden gem of a place. Be sure to try both Veg and Meat options at once you won't be disappointed.

It's been years since I've had Ethiopian food, and this did not disappoint! The injera tasted how I remembered. The beef was flavorful and delicious. Portions were very generous for the price. Service was friendly. I'll have to come back and dine in sometime!

I absolutely enjoyed my dining experience at Nile Ethiopian Restaurant. I took my family here for my daughter's birthday and was treated as a royal. The store wasn't super crowded but was very clean and inviting. I started off by trying the famous ethiopian coffee which smelled amazing and offered that bold and rich taste. The coffee was served on a neat tray decorated with cultural designs. Next I tried an order of lentil sambusas which were crisp and lentils flavorful, not too oily but just right. I then moved on to try the vegan platter served with injera. The vegan platter was a major hit! I also tried the fish Lebleb which came with more delicious injera. The fish was fresh tasting and not too salty. Lastly I finished my meal with an order of baklava. If you haven't tried this desert, I would advise you try it. My overall experience was awesome. Great efforts get great results and feedback .

I don't get to Jacksonville frequently, but a stop at Nile is always required when I do! Ethiopian food is a great option if you want to try something new, but don't feel like your palate is very adventurous. It's delicious and you will be able to find an option you will enjoy! This time, I had beef tibs with misir wot and shiro wot. The green lentils are also really great!

First time trying Ethiopian dishes. The lamb tibs over rice were tasty and nicely spiced. A small, clean restaurant with friendly service. Will go back to try more of an interesting cuisine. The outside is deceptive, the food is delicious. If you want to try Ethiopian this is the place.

Great energy, great food! I asked for a custom dish and they EXCEEDED my expectations. Consistently delicious every. single. time I eat here.

Great Energy & Great Food- I would happily give 5 stars but I am not allowed because they do have a few meat options. This spot is my favorite vegan restaurant in town. They are CONSISTENTLY delicious every single time. I asked for a custom vegan dish and they EXCEEDED my expectations, so much so, that I get the exact same dish every time I go!

The food is amazing!! The hot tea touched my soul. We got the meat and veggie platter to share, and it was all we needed. I definitely can't wait to go back. Truly authentic and a good home cooked meal.

So good (food, prices, people). Not sure how people can order just one item, the vegetarian combo was so excellent, but there's no way I can pick a favorite. Wish this place was around the corner from home.
