I tried this place with a Groupon and ordered 1x Meat Combination and 1x Vegetarian Platter for takeout. I've had several Ethiopian restaurants in the past and have always loved the heavy spices used in the cuisine. This is one of the few foods where I prefer the vegetarian dishes to the meats, with the platter featuring a mix of lentils (my favourite), chick peas, cabbage and carrot stew, beets, carrots/string beans, and collard greens (unfortunately tough and hard). The meat platter contained doro wat (spicy chicken stew), a lamb dish, and a beef stew. Each were spicy and bursting with flavour. The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender, but the ground beef was quite dry and probably my least favourite dish. Everything is eaten with your hands by using the injera (Ethiopian sour dough) to scoop up the food. Would love to come back and dine-in.

best vegetarian platter I've had since I moved to the city!! great atmosphere as well. perfect lighting, music, volume, decor. service wasn't the fastest but it didn't matter bc we were having such a nice time. we dined in but our server was very kind to accept a take-out order as well. brought it at the perfect time toward the end of the meal and packed up our leftovers too, we really felt taken care of. can't wait to go back!!Vegetarian options: amazing variety in the vegan platter!

This is my second time trying Ethiopian food, the first time was through Uber Eats so this felt more authentic. We really liked Blue Nile and our server was super nice and open to answering our questions. We tried the veg spread and meat spread. I liked the veg better and would return just to have more!

Blue Nile , goood place friendly staff. That is my go to place from now
I come here with my Ethiopian friend when she comes to visit. This place is so cozy. Ethiopian cuisine with a bar like atmosphere in the front. The service is amazing and the food... omg so phenomenal. I've been to Ethiopian restaurants in many other cities but this is by far the best food and the best vibe. I find other places intimidating because there usually isn't any physical menu and you have to order in Amharic (Ethiopian dialect) but Blue Nile menus is so easy to navigate with explanations in english.Parking: Green P street ParkingKid-friendliness: Pasta options
Great people, live band, and great decor/atmosphere.
