Blue Nile was my first taste of Ethiopian food, and I'm glad I tried it! The Meat Combo Platter was a hit! The Doro Wot, a traditional chicken stew with its rich and spicy sauce, was a standout, perfectly showcasing the bold flavors of Ethiopian cuisine. The Alicha Yeb'ge, a mild lamb stew, offered a delightful contrast with its aromatic blend of spices. And the Beef Bamia, with its tender beef simmered alongside okra and tomatoes, was a savory delight. The only hiccup was the slow service during lunchtime. We were the only ones eating inside, and it took a while for the server to bring water and menus. Plus, we waited another 30 minutes for our food. They could work on being quicker and more attentive. But despite that, Blue Nile is a great spot to explore Ethiopian flavors.

The ladies that work here are very friendly and helpful. I had the place all to myself at 4pm on a Thursday afternoon and the delicious vegan food came out in five minutes! Id definitely come again!

Blue Nile is AMAZING! Gibts is wonderful and so helpful. We needed lunch for 17 staff during a training and she worked hard to make sure we got everything we wanted. The food was great and our people were so happy. I will always refer people to Blue Nile, they are great. Vegetarian options: So many! Dietary restrictions: They had plentiful vegan options!

Love the place! The cultural elements are spread throughout the whole restaurant and makes up for great decoration. The food was amazing! However, some spots on the floor weren't as clean, surely was a lack of cleaning after clients. There are also some flies around which disturbed me a lot. Vegetarian options: Many Ethiopian dishes provide great vegetarian and vegan options. What I ordered were basically lentils and injera (Ethiopian bread).
