Blue Nile Xpress Reviews
We kept hearing good things, and being big fans of Ethiopian food we finally stopped by for lunch. This place has a very warm and wholesome vibe, like you're in an auntie's house or something. Everyone there is exceptionally friendly. And the food is excellent! We ordered the siga wot and lamb tibs and both were wonderful. We'd happily return!
Talk about a totally unexpected surprise! Had a guest over from another part of the country, and they wanted "something ethnic" for lunch. Quick search on Google led us here Wow You know the whole thing about holes in the wall that are amazing? Right. This is one of them. Food is homey and downright incredible. The proprietors are super lovely and welcoming. It's all extremely down to earth, comfortable and insanely tasty. Don't skip by this place!

I found Blue Nile Express from a recommendation through a neighborhood Facebook group and want to extend the shout out. It's delicious, affordable and I feel good about supporting a local restaurant in our community. I prefer ordering to go. You can request a vegetarian plate or a multiple portioned plate with meat. If you're not familiar with Ethiopian food, this is a nice way to get a taste by getting multiple options in one go! I've gone to a lot of Ethiopian restaurants throughout...read full review
