Nile Vegan - Ipanema (pontal do Paraná

Delicious and very authentic Ethiopian food. The whole experience brought me back to my travels in the country. My gluten free SIL was very happy with the food as well.Can't wait to go back for brunch and get some coffee and avocado smoothies.Vegetarian options: The whole menu is veganDietary restrictions: My gluten free family member was happyKid-friendliness: High chairs but no changing table in the bathroomWheelchair accessibility: One small step up into the building. We were able to lift the wheelchair up the small step

It's nice not to have to ask for dishes to be made without butter. Tasty! Plenty of variety!Also, you will find some Ethiopian classics here, but also a few that I've never seen anywhere else.

Visited for lunch. Atmosphere is welcoming, but sparse. Chairs aren't the most comfortable to sit in, especially for a long lunch. Which matters, because the service is slow. Very friendly, professional and gracious, but still slow. I'm wondering if it was because it was lunch time, not sure. With that said, they did have plenty of people coming in and no one complained about the wait, so that tells you something. I had the best cucumber/ tomato salad I've ever had! Whatever is in that vinaigrette, *chef's kiss*!! I had a chickpea dish with injera. It was spiced perfectly and so yummy. Flatbread ... I could eat that with anything! I'm definitely revisit, and next time, I'll give myself lots of time to enjoy the chai while I wait.

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.

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!Vegetarian options: This is a vegan restaurant, there are plenty of vegetarian options!Dietary restrictions: Vegan restaurant
