Blue Nile is a restaurant that offers an authentic Ethiopian dining experience. The restaurant's atmosphere transports customers to Ethiopia, with its scenery, music, and servers' attire. The menu features a variety of traditional Ethiopian dishes, including an all-you-can-eat vegetarian option for a fixed price, as well as a la carte meat dishes.
Customers can start their meal with a hot Ethiopian tea, which has a naturally sweetened taste. Before the meal, diners are provided with a hot towel to cleanse their hands, as the food is meant to be eaten with the hands using injera, a traditional Ethiopian flatbread. The menu includes lentils, ground peas, cabbage, and a salad called Timatim, which has a sour dressing that helps cleanse the palate between bites.
The decor looks very authentic, with the option to choose between a booth or a table where you sit closer to the ground. The food is described as really good and delicious, with the catch that each person has to pay for the 7 vegetables, but only gets one plate for two people. Customers can then choose one meat dish. The restaurant can get packed, and there is not a lot of parking available.
Overall, Blue Nile offers a unique and immersive Ethiopian dining experience, with great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and attentive service.
