What People Are Saying About Blue Nile Ethiopian Restaurant
The Editor

Citysearch
In Short – The Blue Nile has succeeded by sticking firmly to its Ethiopian roots. Service is gracious in this quiet, private setting. The menu has only two choices: "all you care to eat" vegetarian or the "Ethiopian feast," which includes chicken, lamb and beef. Seven vegetables and four meats are arranged in little piles on top of a huge communal round of injera, Ethiopian spongy bread.

Leaves a bad taste in your mouth
by brainofj at Citysearch
Do your research on Ethiopian cuisine and decide if it sounds appetizing to you. The meal consists of a spongy bread that you dip into a communal tray of various mushy items.
It costs $20/person and even if you like the food, you will leave unsatisfied. (Imagine trying to get full on chips and dip). The place also has a rank smell as my 3 year old niece felt no qualms about pointing out. It's way over-priced and not very good.
- Pros: none
- Cons: WAAAAAAAAAAAY OVERPRICED!

Slop On A Plate Anyone??
by FerndaleReviewer at Citysearch
Well I can see that the other reviews must be from the owners of this establishment. If you like slop on a plate-then this is your hidden gem. For roughly 20 bucks a plate you get food that isnt explained to you by the server and it tastes like pasty mush in your mouth. Our waiter had to been the worst in any dining established I have ever been into. The aroma from this place is enough to make you sick. I will never go back and they couldnt have paid me the 20 bucks a plate to eat this slop.

A fun experience
by eatmyfood at Citysearch
A little pricey but overall a good time. They offer all you can eat, ethnic food in a cool looking restaurant. The food is authentic and they give you trendy spongy tortilla things to eat with. Or you can ask for a fork, but any time you get to eat with you hands is always fun. : )
- Pros: You get to eat with your hands! :)
- Cons: not for cheap skates
