The food was absolutely delicious, and the owner was so warm and welcoming! We ordered the Garden of the Nile platter for two and there was more than enough food. All 10 stews were amazing and the sorrel hibiscus paired well nicely with our food. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone, especially if you’re looking for tasty vegan food!

My wife and I had dinner here while visiting from out of town. While I am not an expert, I love Ethiopian food. I have visited Ethiopia and eaten local food there during several week-long trips. My wife and I visit Ethiopian restaurants as often as we can find them while traveling in the U.S. Of everywhere I have eaten Ethiopian, my meal at Nile Vegan was the best. In fact, I would place our dinner there among my all time top five dinners, period. I know it sounds like hyperbole, but I don’t write many reviews, and, as you can see, I am taking time to write this one. It was absolutely fresh, extremely tasty, and the 10 stew platter provided a delightful mix of delicious flavors and textures. – Wishing I lived closer to Columbus. . .

Started with the spiced lentil-stuffed Sambusas appetizer. They were amazing and fried light and crispy without being oily. For our main course, enjoyed the Garden Platter for 2. It comes with 10 of the house entrees plus plenty of injeera (more are available as a side on the menu). For me, the red lentils and the chickpea sauce were outstanding flavors, but the mushrooms and tofu dishes made me think that I could definitely eat this regularly. This food was really incredible and the service was excellent. We only get to visit Columbus area every few weeks but we’re planning to dine here again next time.

Ordered takeout at 11:55am and order confirmation said it’d be ready at 12:15pm. I ordered the sambusas and tomato cucumber salad. I showed up at 12:15, place was empty and no one at the front. After a minute or two, a gentleman came out front and I told him I was there to pick up my order. Not only was it NOT ready, the ticket for my order still on the printer kiosk at the front so he was just then seeing my order for the first time. He told me it would be 6-7 minutes, but it actually took over 20 minutes and I didn’t walk out of there until 12:39. My lunch break is almost over at this point. I opened the sambusas to start eating them on the way back to my office and was immediately disappointed with how small and overdone they looked. Imagine my surprise when I took a bite and found that they were not only far beyond “lightly” fried, but they had the audacity to be unbelievably dry, bland, and the lentils were UNDERCOOKED. I couldn’t even finish eating them. Definitely my first and LAST time I’ll order from here. extremely disappointing.

3 of us split the traditional platter and it was more than enough food. The food was great and the restaurant is clean and bright. I would definitely go back. To clarify my service rating, we had good service, but it seems like there may have been just one person handling the front and back of house, so things took a little bit longer. Not a place to go if you only have a limited time, but a good option if you have time to linger with the food and friends.

This was so much fun and so good. I tried the half platter of 10 stews which was a great way to go and I thought they were all delicious. Be prepared to eat with your hands!

I have never thought I’d be writing a review on an Ethiopian restaurant, but I’m extremely happy I got a chance to try it. I noticed the restaurant right away so it really stood out on the street with the bright lime green paint really bringing some color to the neighborhood. When I first walked into the small establishment, I immediately after knew this food is about to be bomb because it smelled amazing inside.
