Blue Nile Ethiopian Restaurant

This was my second visit to Blue Nile Restaurant in Ann Arbor, Michigan, an Ethiopian eatery. I love it because they offer gluten-free bread made from teff flour. The all-you-can-eat vegetarian feast and the spiced Ethiopian tea, which is naturally sweet, are both delightful. The ambiance is inviting, and the decor transports you beyond the U.S. The staff frequently checks in to see if you need more food. The dishes are flavorful and satisfying without feeling heavy afterward. I also enjoy eating with my fingers and the bread, and the communal vibe reminds me of home in the Philippines. I’d rate this place a 10 out of 10 for its food taste and ambiance. However, there is a $3 charge each time you order more gluten-free bread.

Love, love, love the Blue Nile!! So amazing that they offer a gluten free alternative for their vegetarian feast (with salad leaves instead of injera). The spicy peas are my favorite!!
