Reviews
"Food was amazing! Highly recommend the sampler platter if it’s your first time! Then you get to try a little bit of a bunch of different foods. The people that work there are so nice and helpful. Very knowledgeable about the food as well."
"Overall, this place gets 4 and a half stars. The sampler platter and the veggie sambusa was great. I wished the injera was a little more sour/fermented since it’s more authentic that way. Beware that ordering extra injera comes at a hidden charge of $1.95 for four rolls not mentioned on the menu, so be careful when ordering extra injera."
"Convenient location for downtown or Ciy Market visitors. You probably will have to pay to park on the street, though. Enjoyable for outdoor seating and people/trolley watching. The inside decor is unique and enjoyable! Service is attentive and pleasant—but they don’t bring utensils unless you ask specifically (that’s how they eat their food in Ethiopia). Entree items range from savory to spicy. Requesting a sampler platter (more variety) is a smart way to go."
"When I find myself thinking “I’d really like a meal that actually tastes like something,” this kind of food is exactly what I mean. Blue Nile blends flavors and textures to create some truly excellent dishes. I had the meat combo, including two meats and three veggies all of which were delicious. Unless you specifically ask for silverware, you’ll use injera to scoop up your food. Normally that would be a bit too messy for me, but here I enjoyed the experience. The staff was great, and the restaurant was quiet (with most of the crowd choosing outdoor tables, we had the indoor dining area almost completely to ourselves)."
