First time there was late on a weeknight -had the place mostly to ourselves and the service was quicker because of that. They have a gluten-free Ethiopian bread which was very helpful for our dinner party -loved everything recommend vegetarians choose I believe number 26 versus the veg everything option for 2 as that has little teeny piles of tomatoes or salads that to me are not typical Ethiopian food. Was a lot slower on Mother’s Day around 6:30 on which was to be expected -will still return it’s great food!
Wonderful food and atmosphere. Our server was helpful and knowledgeable about the culture and taught us more about the food we were enjoying. Go there for a nice leisurely dinner with close friends-no utensils allowed! And don't skip coffee!
If you are interested in a family style offering of the best Ethopian food, then get here. Consistently excellent cuisine with a very cool vibe. I will miss this wonderful place!
Whenever we are in Orlando, we eat at the Nile. The injera is always fresh and warm and the food is wonderful. The service is terrific and the staff are friendly. A great place to try something different.
The server was great and we really enjoyed the food. Would definitely recommend.
We loved it! We ordered the vegetarian platter for two (2 orders as there was 4 of us). It wad the perfect amount of food and so delicious!
A place of great food and caring people. Every meal is prepared fresh to order. Service is excellent and unobtrusive. The atmosphere presents a peaceful environment that compliment your dining experience. I would highly recommend Nile Ethiopian Restaurant as a must experience. Ted Freeman
full flavored food and attentive service makes this a place to go when you have a craving for trying something different. You’ll come back.
Best food we had in Florida when we visited a couple of years ago. Found it on Facebook when we looking for it to recommend to a friend
This is an amazingly awesome hidden gem. Service is wonderful, food is phenomenal and drinks are plentiful. We will certainly be back real soon.

We went to the Nile Ethiopian last night and had an amazing experience! The waitress was very attentive, friendly and helpful!!! The food was exactly what we wanted. Having lived in Minneapolis where Ethiopian food is in abundance and moving here to Orlando where there is very little. I have missed these flavors greatly. I will be back! Again and again I'm sure.
Insanely delicious! Had the steak tartare special. If you dig spicy food, I HIGHLY recommend it. The bread has a nice slightly sour taste to it that compliments the food so well. Whatever you order, make sure you get collard greens with it. They make them so good. End your meal with some baklava and a cup of coffee. You won't be disappointed!
I'm already looking forward to our next visit!
Such an incredible experience, from the incredible service from our server Moca, to the delicious and flavorful food! This is easily one of my favorite restaurants in Orlando now. We will be back again and again!
So glad I chose this place! The rough exterior almost made me change my mind, but I’m soooo glad I went in and ate. It was a dining experience—excellent food, flavorful, different and memorable! Loved every bite, as evidenced by my plate:)!
The food was phenomenal, you can taste the culture and history of Ethiopia in every dish, the art is beautiful and the service was great, I love this place.
Great Ethiopian food! The balance of flavors was spot on, and we didn't wait long for the food. Our favorites were the chicken, beef, and cabbage. I also liked that the sambusa wrappings were thin and very crispy. Portions were perfect, service was friendly, and prices were reasonable. I'd definitely come back!
Food was great and delicious. Staff was friendly and the decorations inside give it an Ethiopian feel.
Chefs combo platter is delicious. Very good juicy honey 🍯 wine.
We ordered the chef’s special and the kitfo, both were great! We shared our food and enjoyed it all. Nothing left on our plates!
I've only tried Ethiopian food one other time and that was in Dubai so I was looking forward to it
I tried the Meat Sampler for one and it was tasty and flavorful.
The place was very clean and full of African Flavor to help with setting the full experience.
The Staff was friendly and helped with recommendations.
I'd definitely recommend.
I love enjoying my meals at Nile Ethiopian! The atmosphere is so warm, inviting and always pleasant. The food is not only flavourful but cooked to perfection every time. This is a great place for a group of friends or family to share an authentic healthy meal.
I was recently in Orlando for a conference and thought to check out this restaurant as I had heard and read great reviews about this place. Unfortunately, upon reaching the place the restaurant was closed that day due to some issues.
Me and my husband spoke to talk to the owner who expressed he was sorry we didn't get a chance to try out the food and to our surprise, he promptly offered to drop us back at our hotel as we had come a long way to try the food. We were hesitant at first but he was really sweet and insisted that we let him do it.
This gesture just showcased his hospitality and commitment to customer satisfaction.
During our ride back to the hotel, he shared insights about the restaurant, its offerings, and the Ethiopian cuisine that left us even more eager to dine there in the future whenever we visit again. Until then, I knew I had to write to review and appreciate him for going above and beyond :)
