Description

Ethiopian meals are eaten without utensils from a communal plate, which is first covered with pieces of a flatbread called injera. You fold each bite up in a piece of bread. Exotic lamb stews and spicy vegetables are the favorite orders at Blue Nile on the Southwest side. Coffee lovers won't want to miss the remarkable Ethiopian coffee ceremony.

    If you haven't tried Ethiopian food yet, you need to hop in your car immediately and drive to Blue Nile. The food here is mouth wateringly scrumptious. Be aware that some dishes you eat with your hands by using a flat bread called injeera to sop it up, like we southerners do with biscuits and gravy. The service is good and it's nice inside despite not looking so wonderful from the outside. I need to go there more often, now that I think about it!

    I had tried Ethiopian food for the first time about a year and a half ago and I have to say this is the best one in town. Tina at Blue Nile is the sweetest woman as well and is always very gracious to all of her customers. This place has been around for about 10 years and have one-of-a-kind lamb dish....makes my mouth water!

  • 2004 | Best Ethiopian Restaurant

    Blue Nile Ethiopian Restaurant Once the only Ethiopian eatery in town, Blue Nile now has some stiff competition. The new guys in town, Addisaba on De Moss Drive, are serving up some awesome yedoro wot. They also have a bar and a big-screen television set. But Blue Nile holds on to the title, thanks to superior vegetables and a more relaxing atmosphere. Blue Nile has some great meat dishes, but their seven vegetable selections are all knock-outs. The yemisser wot -- a red lentil stew seasoned... More »
