About Blue Nile

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.

The decor looks very authentic, I love it! You can choose between a booth or a table where you sit closer to the ground, it's not the most comfortable but seems Ethiopian. You will not get silverware, you eat with injera bread. They give you hot, wet towels before and after your meal. The food was really really good, delicious even, the catch is that each person HAS to pay for the 7 vegetables, but you only get one plate of it(for 2 people). Which seems like a complete ripoff....read full review
