Le Nil Bleu in Lausanne

Fantastic experience at this Ethiopian restaurant, unique flavors and a warm welcome. A real favorite! ❤️

Great food and great service! Plenty of vegetarian options too

Excellent restaurant. We ate very well. We had a full vegetarian menu and everything was delicious (especially the dessert). We are vegetarians and this place is perfect for vegetarians. The restaurant is very quaint and the staff are very friendly. We will definitely come back.

Very good Ethiopian restaurant! The dishes and service are top notch! Thank you ! :)

Incredible service, super kind and welcoming staff, super good food and more than fair price, what more do you want ✅

The meal there: not great, sour crepe, and be careful with the pancake accompaniment. (2 small pancakes and several sour pancakes). You have to insist several times to get a few extra pancakes. When we asked for pancakes, the owner made it clear to us that there wasn't enough for everyone. Otherwise the takeaway meal: incredible! I recommend it (beef sandwich etc.)

Delicious food and pleasant, impeccable service. Offers a doggy-bag to avoid food waste. I recommend !

Very expensive for vegetables in small quantities. Cold reception. Not great decor, very cluttered and very crowded tables.

In more than 10 years of attendance, I have never been disappointed. The cuisine is impressive in its flavors and quality. Come and discover Ethiopian food in a friendly and immersive atmosphere. The staff is very kind and attentive to possible allergy problems (warn in advance). In short, go for it!

Extraordinary restaurant. The cuisine is delicious and the welcome is very cordial.

Excellent food and friendly service at a very competitive price. Clearly one of our favourite Ethiopian restaurants in Lausanne!

Very good ! Lots of different tastes and I find the portions to be quite large. We will return there.

The cuisine is very delicious and refined. The service is perfect. The boss is very kind and welcoming. Very good atmosphere, we will come back very soon. A big thank-you. Great discovery…

Too too good. A delight. And the owners are really adorable. One of our favorite places

OMG!! The food was absolutely amazing, the owner is very friendly and welcoming, my friends and I felt really at home while gulping down their delicious food, sometimes I still dream about it 😍😍. Next time I’ll come to Lausanne I’ll definitely be back for more. Well done guys

excellent ! incredible lausanne go for it, I can only recommend the “special blue nile” tasting dish super nice and they explain everything!

Nice authentic food with friendly staff

Very warm welcome and excellent food

Frankly, the welcome is 100% equivalent to the kitchen, always smiling and warm.

It is delicious! The service is pleasant and very friendly. The food is delicious, it's worth going there, especially if you don't know Ethiopian food... these are flavors that you have to discover!

Attention rikiki quantity. Obliged to have a starter and dessert to have eaten enough. A microscopic tea for 5.50.- The food is excellent but overpriced for the quantity served. It’s a shame to have to recommend a portion to get enough to eat. Or the restaurant should offer to supplement the portion by bringing a little back automatically. In short, super good but we won't go back.

Very recommended, excellent, original and the staff is really pleasant! Great experience!

Very good takeaway meals and always great blues music to listen to while preparing :)

It's very good! The quantity for three in the sharing platter... could be increased and the service is a little cold. Great discovery in Lausanne.

Great experience with very good food, courteous service and great atmosphere. Thank you!

The food is very delicious! And for me very important when I can eat the meal without gluten.

Loved the food and service was amazing!

Warm welcome, delicious cuisine, a must-see place for traveling to the land of spices.

Nice atmosphere, nice food presentation, but little bit too expensive, for that kind and type of food (components).

During walk on the city beach our friends discovered Le Nil Bleu, so, if you walking near, all warm recommendations to this restaurant...staff sooo friendly, you will feel appreciated, you won't wait on your order, atmosphere is amazin' ( at evening live music , sunset/sea view) ambience ...wow, and food ...just look at the pics! They worth more than words...

I came to eat in this restaurant with my gourmet passport. I really liked the experience, the food was good with several choices of pancakes and our server was friendly. I will go back there.

Very friendly restaurant, very welcoming with attentive staff. Rather healthy food and spices that remind me of my childhood (North Africa). I highly recommend! 👌🏼

Still as good, but decreasing quantities..... Everything lacks a little generosity on the plate.

Restaurant that doesn't look like much from the outside but beautiful decoration inside. The restaurant is narrow but there is one floor that we did not visit. The dishes are good, nothing more. Professional staff but could be a little more cheerful we had the impression of disturbing them sometimes. Otherwise a great culinary discovery

For a first experience in an Ethiopian restaurant, it was a pleasant surprise. Good welcome, attentive staff, delicious dishes. To do with friends. PS: To all beer lovers: don’t forget to taste their Ethiopian amber beer.

Great time, good advice and excellent service.

Incredible Vegetarian Sandwich, a taste never before experienced. I highly recommend (take lots of towels if take away because they are very messy). Lunchtime waitress smiling and caring, open to discussion and full of energy. I recommend out loud :)

a delicious filled sandwich that made my day!! grilled and tender vegetables, beef that falls apart slightly in the mouth (a bit spicy but suitable for our sensitive throats!) and the super friendly service, very smiling and funny waitress of the day with whom we had a good laugh :) this evening take away or on site in the middle of the beautiful decor, we enjoy ourselves and we are delighted!!

A quality restaurant, very good, the staff and welcoming. Being an Ethiopian myself, this moment was a treat. Thank you Blue Nile!

Super warm welcome ☺️ Good presentation + really delicious meal I advise you to go to the Blue Nile

An excellent welcome + the dishes are very good. I invited friends who really enjoyed the meal. Don’t hesitate to come and see, you won’t be disappointed 😉

Exceptional!!! It’s beautiful inside, very hygienic, it’s a pleasure. There's everything you need to have a good time. 10/10

A delight! I have been to the Blue Nile several times with friends and it has always been a great success! The food is good, the dishes are generous and the welcome is warm. I also tried the delivery option which is just as excellent. Culinary experience that I highly recommend!

An extraordinary culinary journey through Ethiopia as well as a warm welcome is what awaits you when you enter the Blue Nile! A great restaurant where you feel good and where the owners will be able to advise you wonderfully if this is your first experience of Ethiopian cuisine. Their gentleness and kindness will make you feel at home so don’t hesitate to try the experience! 😍

I have an above average understanding of Ethiopian food, and have had it across 4 continents. This was poor quality. The sour dough pancake had turned acidic to the point of not being edible. The portions were smaller and the variety less than I'd expect from an Ethiopian menu. One extra star for the nice hospitality.

Hello, of Ethiopian origin and used to eating the country's food, I loved your dishes during my last visit with my friends. Your cooking is more than excellent. Thank you for the warm welcome and the attention you gave us. We will gladly come back.

This is the third time we have ordered food and it has always been very good except that this time we received a live cockroach in the rice....we put all the food in the trash and it took away our hunger. I WILL ANSWER YOU HERE. The cockroach that brings together the cinnamon bark is this one... the rice is certainly not closed airtight, but in these plastic delivery boxes. I know very well what I saw. and of course I threw everything in the trash because it ruined my appetite. An apology in place of your message which means nothing would have been more relevant given the situation. But there.

Very good restaurant, with cuisine that I found generous and excellent. The service was provided with kindness and a smile... despite the many special requests from our group. I recommend!

I went there at the beginning of April 2022 to give a time indicator. Decent service. But the food... I wanted to introduce my wife to Ethiopian food and what a bad experience. Nothing to do with Awash in Geneva. Limited quantities for a gastronomy that aims to be generous on a basic basis. The Yesega wet key that I usually get in all Ethiopian restaurants, was the most disappointing of my life in this restaurant. First and last time.

Top service and it was really very good, however none of us had enough to eat... Too bad about that but otherwise very good.

Tasty cuisine and good products, warm atmosphere like staying with friends.

Excellent restaurant. Varied choices for vegetarians and vegans. We were extremely well received. I highly recommend!

I recommend this restaurant with a very friendly welcome and a delicious tasting menu in a very friendly setting. I'll go back.

Excellent Ethiopian food. Very friendly staff. To recommend

Very friendly and helpful staff, nothing but the tastiest food, I would encourage anyone to experience Ethiopian cuisine at the Blue Nike restaurant.

Great welcome, the tasting dish was delicious to discover all its good flavors. I recommend it and it’s worth the trip 👍 mantis tea 😋

Delicious discovery, I recommend!

Typical cuisine, welcoming staff. Good value for money.

Excellent cuisine!! We took the special for 2 people and really enjoyed tasting a bit of everything.

Excellent gluten-free and lactose-free cuisine, very attentive to allergies. To top it all off, it’s excellent and the prices are very low. Strongly recommended !!!

Great restaurant, decor and really delicious. We took the vegetarian sharing dish. The boss is really very friendly and caring. I absolutely recommend you. The restaurant fully deserves these 5 stars.

I love this authentic and friendly Ethiopian restaurant. It wasn't my first visit and won't be my last. Highly recommended.

Very good dish and very pleasant service.

Very delicious food as well as polite and fast service!

Excellent Dedicated and warm accommodating staff I will go back there

Super good experience, the pancakes and various preparations are exquisite, super pleasant staff. I recommand it!

Excellent food and very nice service! Interesting discussion with the manager who tells me about Ethiopia and the local cuisine. When you enter you are overwhelmed by the smells of simmering dishes. Favorite and more affordable price if you order directly on the website rather than on Ubereats or smood. <3 thanks again

Very good cuisine. The bosses are as nice as anything.

Perfect for an evening with friends or a romantic dinner! I recommend the vegetarian/vegan tasting plate: everything is delicious. The meal is nourishing without being too heavy. The staff is warm and attentive. Delicious food, great service and perfect for vegans!

Always delicious, the bosses are adorable!

Fair prices, tasty food and friendly staff. Unfortunatelly we could only choose between three dishes.

Very good food, varied menu, and very friendly welcome. Highly recommended place!!

Such a welcoming family restaurant. Located in the center of Lausanne, le Nil Bleu offers a nice Ethiopian experience. The food is tasty (the lamb war delicious). The dishes are served with rice or with flatbread. The staff are very friendly and will be happy to share insights from Ethiopia. Finally the prices are really good. I will definitely go again.

Excellent and generous! The best place to eat Eritrean in Lausanne.

Toujours un vrai délice, le personnel est plus qu'adorable! Je le recommande vivement!!!

Toujours aussi bon et généreux ! Malgré la situation, le patron réserve à ses clients un accueil chaleureux ! En plus toute la carte est disponible à l'emporter ! Nous avons hâte de revenir au restaurant pour avoir en plus l'ambiance et le sourire de la patronne !

Ce fût La Clef... Et maintenant c'est le Nil Bleu... Les Patrons sont hyper cool et serviable... Tu veux bien manger, de la nourriture qui à du goût et variées ! Va te faire plaisir. A l'époque dans ce lieu il y avait de très bons cocktails... Et bien maintenant il y a de la très bonne bouffe 👍😊 Ne soit pas timide et va essayer‚ les Patrons vont pas te manger. P.Moser (ex patronne de La Clef)

Le Nil Bleu, petit restaurant éthiopien depuis ouvert depuis une douzaine d’année ( quinzaine ?)Décoration authentique qui fait voyager le temps du repas, mets délicieux avec vaste choix de plats végétariens. Galettes et tej ( hydromel). Super accueil depuis le début ( et aujourd’hui nous avons pu profiter de l’offre de Tables ouvertes) Spéciale mention pour les épinards que mon fils adore ! Merci à vous Daniel et Tidji.

J'ai eu la chance de découvrir le Nil Bleu en 2009 et je n'ai jamais été déçue!Le menu dégustation est top et l'accueil chaleureux et toujours gentil et souriant.Merci pour ces bons plats, pour le dépaysement et de nous faire nous lécher les babines rien qu'en pensant au dernier repas passé chez vous!Léa

Accueil convivial dans un cadre chaleureux. Nous avons apprécié la saveur des plats épicés et les explications pour le choix du menu. Service attentif et rapide pour un repas en soirée.

(Traducido por Google) Para nuestro plato principal, tuvimos un plato variado con varios platos (vegetarianos). El sabor de toda la comida y el vino (sazonado por expertos) fue espectacular. El anfitrión fue muy acogedor y se aseguró de que nosotros y nuestros estómagos disfrutamos de nuestra noche. Compruébalo por ti mismo. :-) (Original) For our main course, we had a variety plate with several (vegetarian) dishes. The taste of all the (expertly seasoned) food and wine was spectacular. The host was very welcoming and made sure that we and our stomachs would thoroughly enjoy our evening. See for yourselves. :-)

Petit restaurant en bord de route calme avec bientôt une terrasse. Décoration africaine, accueil et service très sympathique. Carte étoffée avec plusieurs menu viande et Végétarien en dégustation pour 2 personnes. Prix quand même élevé bien que très copieux (on a pris a 39.-/pers le menu viande, délicieux, avec le guide tables ouvertes). Belle expérience on reviendra sur la terrasse !

C'est un de nos restaurant préféré autant pour sa cuisine que pour l'accueil et très frustrées de ne pouvoir nous y rendre je les ai appelé, et là, divine surprise, mais pourquoi n'y avais-je pas pensé plus tôt; ils livrent à domicile !!!Aussi délicieux et savoureux qu'au restaurant, la galette était aérienne, légère, savoureuse.Ce fut un régal et ce moment de plaisir nous a de-confinées...en plein confinement !!!Et si vous commander sur leur propre site peut-être aurez-vous la chance de reconnaître un visage familier.Sécurité et hygiène garantie, la totale en somme.

Nous sommes allés manger avec le guide des tables ouvertes qui donne des réductions. Malgré ceci le personnel est resté très agréable attentif et nous a bien renseigné. Nous avons pris un menu dégustation c’était très bon. Juste le pain (crêpe) un peu fade à la longue.

(Traducido por Google) 😋 simplemente perfecto ❤ (Original) 😋 just perfect ❤

(Traducido por Google) Menú de super buen sabor, para comer con los dedos, ayudado con panqueques. Servicio muy amable y acogedor. (Original) Super bon menu de dégustation, à manger avec les doigts, aidés de galettes. Service très sympathique et accueillant.
