It's all been said here, but the food was great, the atmosphere pleasant, and service, in my case at least, was enthusiastic and actually pretty timely, but I was in no rush to go!

I LOVE injera. They have really good injera. I have to say what I look most about the restaurant is the staff. The Ethiopian/Cush vibes are there! They work well together. That is admirable...

Having never had Ethiopian food before, I decided to be adventurous. My friend and I were clueless as to what we were getting ourselves into and so we were at the mercy of the waitress. We asked her...

By no means am I experienced with Ethiopian food. To be honest, when I looked at the menu I was confused and terribly afraid I would not enjoy it. I ended up going here with a close friend and his...

1) I'm Ethiopian. 2) I'm from DC, where there are seemingly more Ethiopian restaurants than Starbucks. For the first time, I walked into this place with incredibly high standards. I have since...

First impressions are key. How will I know of your awesomeness if our first encounter resulted in my belly yelling "meh" in my head's general direction? With that said, Nile rocks my socks, y'all! I...

Nile is excellent! I went for lunch and the service was a bit slow for lunch time but the food more than made up for it. This place is better than the places I've tried in DC that people rave about.

Nile was delicious on my visit; I liked both the setting and the food (as good as any in D.C.). I'm surprised no Yelpers are on it.
