What Madow N doesn't like about Blue Nile:
The food was super bland this time, especially the veggie combo and the lentil appetizer. Just seemed like there was no seasoning. Even the spicy lamb was not spicy. Service was very good even though the restaurant was packed. Parking is never easy there but a few spots on the same street opened up around 7:45pm (Thursday). There's a Whole Foods nearby but I don't know if I would risk parking there. View all feedback. What Syble Walter likes about Blue Nile:
eating here is always excellent and the staff is always very friendly. they could meet the owner who serves them, and he gives them an additional serving of their favourite dish if they are so happy as I always do. but that just happened once. they offer two vegetarian combos and it is very easy to choose vegan options. only one of the vegetarian dishes is not vegan. my personal favorite is the shiro bet View all feedback.

Blue Nile is a cozy and delightful restaurant that offers a variety of Ethiopian dishes. While some reviewers found the food to be a bit bland and lacking in traditional spice notes, others were impressed with the large portions and the friendliness of the staff. The menu may be a bit difficult to navigate, but the waitstaff is always willing to help and make suggestions. Customers with dietary restrictions, such as vegans and those with gluten allergies, appreciated the options available to them. Overall, Blue Nile provides a unique dining experience with great service and delicious food, making it a recommended spot for a meal with friends or family.

I used to be here with a friend. I really enjoyed it and left it satisfied. I like this alcohol.

Cold food, undercooked lentils and over cooked vegetables. Very very rude and nasty owner. Worst Ethiopian food I've had in countries!
