As a fellow Ethiopian Seattle native, Blue Nile did a wonderful job serving authentic Ethiopian food. We ordered the Family Combo for a group of 3 — mind you, we eat a lot and the food STUFFED us. The spices and seasoning made it taste like a home-cooked meal made by your family. The restaurant is clean and tidy. The Staff were sweet and checked in accordingly. The local guests that were around were kind and friendly. The crew and I are definitely coming back again!
