Nile Restaurant and Market

Were here Saturday January 13, 2018 with the family around 7pm on a semi-cold night. Had reserved and they had saved us the best table in the restaurant. There were mostly Ethiopian men at the bar and at a couple of tables. Typical Ethiopian men they were well-mannered minding their own business. The Ethiopian manager was friendly and helpful, explained the menu and took our order. Two or three other Ethiopian women serving the food were also very friendly. The food was good and authentic and the price was right. Have not been here for the buffet they serve at lunch but can only imagine it is good and at a good price. As for the parking on a Saturday night it is easy on the north side of Eastern Avenue close to the intersection with Georgia Avenue. If you are adventurous, like authentic Ethiopian food, and don't mind being the only non-Ethiopian in the restaurant I highly recommend this restaurant on a Saturday night.

In comparison to other Ethiopian restaurants I've tried, this was OK. The staff is friendly but a little inattentive. The food was good and there is a good selection. I was hoping to find a sampler plate but didn't see one.

Compared to other Ethiopian restaurants, the quantity was slightly less here. Normally, a vegetarian sampler/platter is enough for me and my husband, but here we had to order two. When we ordered the second time, we were served a larger sample size. The food tastes great. Slightly relaxed and laid back ambience.
