Honestly disappointing. Got siga wot, doro wot, and side of misir. They did not have kitfo, one of our favorite dishes, but we generally enjoy the other dishes as well so we were happy to try them here. Honestly was on the bland side, which is shocking for Ethiopian food, although the siga wot was somewhat more flavorful. Didn't have any classic buttery or umami berbere strong spice notes, just a more generic mild spice. Also only two very small chicken drumsticks in the doro wot, surprising given the price, and a very small couple of spoonfuls of misir on the side. We have eaten a lot of Ethiopian food in many cities, particularly numerous times in DC, and this fell very short of our expect...
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
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.
I had a friend flying in from Chicago and he requested Ethiopian food when he landed. A vegan friend had recommended Blue Nile, and I am so thrilled that she did! The staff was amazing and beyond accommodating as we dined and chatted. This was my first time trying Ethiopian cuisine and the food being absolutely delicious made the experience perfect! I will absolutely be back!

Such a fun place! I loved their homemade mead. The only reason I didn't get them 5 stars is I thought the bread was gluten free but was informed it sadly was not. I was able to get rice on the side but would have loved the bread!
small restaurant that had filled everyone table, that was worth waiting! large portions and they went over and beyond, sent me to home with extra injera and lenses! defens recommend
Cold food, undercooked lentils and over cooked vegetables. Very very rude and nasty owner. Worst Ethiopian food I've had in 5 countries!

with a group of vegans here for a vegan meeting and we all really enjoyed the meal! there was a lot of vegan options to choose from!
I used to be here with a friend. I really enjoyed it and left it satisfied. I like this alcohol.
