Incredibly delicious and authentic Ethiopian food with friendly staff. Cozy atmosphere with mood lighting for the late night and live music too! 100/10 would recommend. We got the vegan platter for one and meat platter for one (plenty for 2 people). Our hearts and stomachs feel nourished.

Was amazed by the food and atmosphere here! Never had Ethiopian food before but now I'll be visiting here regularly. Glad I decided to try out this place, definitely recommend everyone to visit. Staff is very friendly, the atmosphere is lovely and the music is very relaxing.

Family decided to try something new, saw the reviews and came in. Made reservations although they indicated wasn't necessary. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful, giving us advice and information about the different menu items. Food was amazing, great experience and the coffee...WOW!! Loved it. Definitely a must if you're a coffee drinker. We'll go back to try other things, really enjoyed it.

Blue Nile is the best authentic Ethiopian 🇪🇹 restaurant around the GTA Doesn’t matter what I get I end up liking it. My best friend and I have been eating here for over 5 years now and we never been disappointed. Absolutely amazing! The place is beautiful and staff are super friendly and the food is delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant to you #toronto.

Horrible service!! Extremely unpleasant and unprofessional staff and service. They took time to take our order even though there was only one other table occupied. Secondly I ordered a vegan platter and my friends ordered the non veg one. When served they mixed them both in one big platter and served us😱😡 Who does this!!! Besides being told this is a health hazard! Cross contamination of food. When told they said that they assumed I wouldn’t mind sharing the plate and eat with the meat on the side!!!! Then I had to reorder my dish which took 45 minutes to come! By then my friends had already eaten. And lastly they added two vegan meals in my bill, that was the last straw !!! It’s appalling attitude and service. Would never go back or recommend this place.

I come here with my Ethiopian friend when she comes to visit. This place is so cozy. Ethiopian cuisine with a bar like atmosphere in the front. The service is amazing and the food... omg so phenomenal. I've been to Ethiopian restaurants in many other cities but this is by far the best food and the best vibe. I find other places intimidating because there usually isn't any physical menu and you have to order in Amharic (Ethiopian dialect) but Blue Nile menus is so easy to navigate with explanations in english.
