Blue Nile Ethiopian Restaurant

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.

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.

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.

First time visiting and I can day 100% I will be here again. From the moment we walked in we were greeted with absolute kindness. Our server was delightful and the atmosphere of the restaurant was great. The food was incredible. Hands down the best meal I've ever had. We got a combo platter shared between two people and it was more than enough. Everything was delicious and perfectly seasoned. The only thing I regret is not having two stomachs so I could eat more.

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.
