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 restaurant's meat dishes, such as beef and lamb, are described as tender and flavorful. Customers are encouraged to embrace the hands-on dining experience, as everyone else will be doing the same. After the meal, diners are provided with another hot towel to clean their hands.

Overall, Blue Nile offers a unique and immersive Ethiopian dining experience, with great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and attentive service.
