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. Coffee lovers won't want to miss the remarkable Ethiopian coffee ceremony.

    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!
