This place is awesome my husband and I eat here almost once a week. the owners are wonderful super friendly make you feel at home. the food absolutely delicious would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone
The menu on the website does not do it justice! The flavours are absolutely incredible, and the owner is one of the nicest women I've had the pleasure of meeting!
Delicious food and hospitable, lovely owners. Will certainly be going back.
Bellisma atmosfera e cucina davvero autentica in questi ristorante Servizio gentile e rapido. Costi contenuti,esperienza nel complesso positiva
Had dinner there tonight and loved it. Very relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Delicious food. Definitely will be back!
Wonderful food.. very tasty and full of flavour. The décor is so comfortable - the colours, the chairs, the roominess between the tables, the walls are painted a warm mustard colour..and Michael was very accommodating. Highly recommended.
Top-notch, healthy and flavourful cuisine and very friendly, personable staff! The traditionally made Ethiopian coffee is so amazing!
I love it here! I love the food, Love the owners, LOVE the drinks and for such a great price!

I love this restaurant!
We visit occasionally through the years and we're so happy that they are open again for in-restaurant dining. The food is delicious! Because the buffet allows us to sample a bit of everything, I mostly forget what it is I have on my plate. Fortunately every dish is a winner!
We also enjoy the welcoming hospitality of that proprietors and staff!
If you're in the area you need to dine here.
WOW this place is amazing!! I had never tried East African food before eating here, but I am absolutely addicted now. You really can't go wrong with whatever you order. I regularly get the Chef's Favourite platter as takeout and am satisfied every single time. The portions are quite hefty too so you will NOT be left hungry! This place also got me addicted to lentils - which I previously hated! If you're thinking of giving this place a try absolutely do it - you will not regret anything you get here :)
We got take out from the Blue Nile. This was my first time having East African Food and it was delicious. I can't believe I haven't had this before. Ordering on the website for pickup was easy and fast. The owner was really nice when picking up the food. Good portion sizing as I feel very full.
Abundance of healthy and delicious food. It's absolutely amazing. Will definitely go back.
Good vibes, warm atmosphere. Great experience overall!
Blue Nile recently re-opened for dine in service and we thought we would try it out.
We have been to a few similar places in Vancouver where the food is brought to you on injera (the regional flatbread) and you use it in place of conventional cutlery to scoop up what's on your plate.
Blue Nile was on par with other Ethiopian restaurants we have tried, if not better.
My fiancee had the buffet and I had the a Siga Zebhi Combo (beef dish). Generally speaking all dishes were fairly decent. The only small complaint was that the lentils in the buffet were a bit dried out and may have been out for some time.
This is the only restaurant offering this style/region of cuisine that we have happened upon thus far in Victoria, and I'm happy that dining at the restaurant is now an option (it was takeout only before). Will likely do the buffet myself next time we visit.
African deliciousness!! Blue Nile East African Restaurant dinner buffet was spectacular. After running a half marathon I needed FOOD and this was absolutely the right choice. 9 of the 12 buffet dishes are vegan, plus injera mmmmm injera. Our favorite was the red lentils or bursen tumtumo. We were the first ones there at 5:00 but it was pretty full when we left at 6:30. Total was $50 for 2 buffet and 2 glasses wine. Worth it! Great service. Free parking. #veganoptions #african #africanbuffet #lentils #injera #imayhavehadafewplates #victoriabc
Had delicious takeout. Everything melted in our mouths. Our first time but a new fav. We'll be back.
Ah we loved this place and the service is amazing. We got the vegetarian combo and it was so quick and easy with so much variety! Even a very fresh tasting steamed and lightly seasoned carrot in there! Felt like coming here in special dresses but that will have to wait for next time :)
Love the food everytime. The staff are always so pleasant and normally give me some extra if I come near the end of the night
Fantastic flavours. Probably the best buffet in Greater Victoria. Nice hosts too.
Support local businesses!!! This local Ethiopian gem is my family's go to comfort food! Ordered through skip the dish and it was great as always!!
Huge portions for takeout/delivery, very balanced meals even for meat entrees.
Vegetarian combo has a great variety of flavors and textures. Great if you only do plant protein. Very filling
Location is great with parking right in my hood. Speedy sit down and overflowing options to choose from for vegan. Delicious injera and lovely staff. I had fresh mango juice which is a treat. Nice music playing....could be casual or romantic. I'll be back!
Good and fresh food which make it a awesome East African restaurant.Good experience for people who haven't tried the regions food before.Friendly and helpful owner and staff.As mentioned before , fascinating decor in the place. i would recommend to friends and family as a top Eatery in Victoria .
3 of us ordered for takeout and hardly said a word while we ate. It was so damn good and unlike any else we've had in Victoria. Location was slightly out of the way, but well worth the trip. Got the meat lovers plate for myself and we shared the spinach dish. Will most definitely be eating here again.
I had the Managers Favourite platter and OMG I now want to eat here everyday. Such great tasting food. Reasonable price. Large portions. Absolutely recommend trying this place. Just be aware that the foods marked as spicy are VERY SPICY. My boyfriend got the Meat Lovers platter and I couldn't eat most of it because of how spicy it was- but it was still delicious through the burn.
I have eaten here many time! Just wanted to try to give you a review as good as your food. The owners are so friendly and amazing. Pre covid I always felt so welcomed into their restaurant and was greeted with a smile and great service. The buffet was always amazing and super reasonably priced. Now they are just doing take out it is still amazing portions for the price! I love coming here and the food is amazing ! Great work guys and I’m glad your still open for business with all the craziness covid has caused the the restaurant business!
