Food was delicious. I got the doro wat. The only complaint I have is that for $18 you get one small chicken drumstick and a hard boiled egg in a vat of (albeit delicious) sauce. They use organic chicken, so it was even smaller than normal - just a bit larger than what you see when you get buffalo wings. So buyer beware.

We love Ethiopian food, so we're very excited to try out Blue Nile. They have great service, flavorful food, a wide variety of (Ethiopian) options to order, and great friendly service! Their prices are very reasonable as well!Definitely recommend them!

We got the tour of Ethiopia for us and the kids and we really liked everything we ate and still had leftovers. All the meat we had was so good but the vegetarian dishes can totally stand alone. We’re excited to return!Vegetarian options: They do something miraculous to lentils. I could eat them every day for the rest of my life.Kid-friendliness: They have some American kid standards but mine liked sharing the grown up food and they really liked using bread instead of forks. They stock napkins at the tables too, that’s always a win for child diners.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs and chairs that pull out. I’ve not personally attempted navigating a wheel chair into this restaurant but on retrospect I believe it’s doable. The doors do need to be pulled open so that’s a potential obstacle.

It was my first time trying Ethipion cuisine. The staff was very kind and genuinely care about your dining experience. They recommended the Half and Half meat and veggies combination platter for two people and it was delicious! We also got the Sambusa's as a starter which tasted very fresh and flavorful. Couldn't get enough of the sauce. Definitely will be returning to try other dishes!Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian optionsDietary restrictions: Injera is gluten freeMany gluten free options
It’s was a very good experience with good food and service, I got quantafirfir , veggie combo and lega lamb tibs which was really good. I really recommend the place.

I've never eaten Ethiopian food but my sister suggested I try it based on my tastes. We found this place close to us and I have to say, I like it! I had the Vegetarian Combo platter to try an variety of items and it was flavorful and I was full, lol. My husband had the lamb. We'll probably go back again!Vegetarian options: The Vegetarian Combo Platter will fill you up and take you on a taste adventure!

This was our first dine in experience after we had tried some of their sambusas during the North St. Paul car show. Our meals were fantastic and wonderfully flavored. If you're looking for good food and good flavor, you won't be disappointed!
