It was my first time trying African food and I loved it! I had the vegetarian sampler. Everything I tried was very flavorful and well seasoned. The atmosphere was inviting and the wait staff was very hospitable. My favorites were the cabbage and the Ethiopian honey wine. I plan to go back very soon.
📌 An exceptional experience. I have never tried Ethiopian cuisine. Many dishes taste a little bit sour. The sourness is the sour taste of fermentation.
📌Overall, if you like to try different types of cuisine from other countries, I suggest you come here for a meal.
had never before eaten in an Ethiopian restaurant. The vegetarian combo, coffee, tea, chicken tibs, and grilled chicken were all delicious. You receive a lot of the tasty Ingera bread. The staff was friendly and accommodating to changes and recommendations. When it's crowded, the parking spot can fill up quickly. enjoyed the atmosphere. The menu is a little expensive, and the table was too small for our group of four even after we requested a larger one. Despite being advised there might be reservations, no one entered the restaurant when we were there. Overall a good experience.
One of the prettiest and best Ethiopian restaurants I’ve ever seen. Service is super nice and the vegetarian combo is awesome. The only thing is that the whole menu is a little bit pricey but worth it.
Good Ethiopian food available in a few locations in Houston.
We got the vegetarian sampler dish, doro wat, and Blue Nile special tibs (lamb). It was all delicious, but the lamb was a little overcooked. The spice level was decent, but nothing overpowering by any means. I was hoping for more heat. The drink menu was ok, but the specialty drinks were all way too sweet for our taste.
The place was relatively empty at fist, but even as they got busier, our service was great.
The location off of Alabama is interesting. It seems like a house that was converted to an open layout. Decor was nice. Incense and soft music created a nice ambiance.
I tried this restaurant with my foodie group. We were a group of 9. We arrived when the restaurant first opened. We were the only ones there. The restaurant was clean, and the servers were friendly. The restaurant is cute. It is decorated with traditional Ethiopian decor/items. 6 of us ordered the family platter, which serves 4-6 people. There was plenty for us all to try. The food was good. It was flavorful. We went in blindly as the server didn't tell us what we were eating and disappeared right after serving. After lunch, we ordered coffee, tea, and pistachio cake. The cake was light and had a nice almond type cream incorporated with the pistachio flavor. The cake portion was a little dry. The food was served with a sponge bread that reminded us of sourdough bread. We enjoyed eating this with our food. Our experience was enjoyable.
Great authentic etiopian place with vegetarian and vegan options. They vegetarian combo is delicious, highly recommend.
Service is pretty good and they can accommodate large groups if you reserve in advance.
The restaurant has a small parking lot with limited spots but there is also available parking across the street. I do recommend checking this place out!
I can’t say enough about this place! From the staff to the food to the restrooms, every bit of it AMAZING! It was my first time here and our waitress explained every single detail of the experience! We had a sampler dish and WOW! The ambiance was beautiful, place is super clean. You must try the coffee. My friend doesn’t even drink coffee but LOVED theirs!! Some of the foods had a bit of spice, which I love, but nothing over the top spicy. We will DEFINITELY be back!! Glad I heard about this place on the Michael Berry show!!
The food was so good & enough to share between two people. I can’t wait to go back!
What a pleasant experience. Had the #45 shareable plate. Feed three people and we were stuffed! Their honey wine was delicious and fairly priced! Definitely looking forward to coming back. Thank you Blue Nile.
