Reviews for Blue Nile Ethiopian Restaurant in Ann Arbor, MI

Loved the food! Everything was very fresh and well made. Got the beef wat as well. I would highly suggest it! I was surprised... that they didn't use Teff flour for their injera (bread). Would have loved it even more if they had done so. They use aself-rising formula instead. Read more

We got the Vegetarian Feast was delicious, service was slow but the dining room was full worth the wait, colorful, even though... there were lots of people it was a beautiful quiet atmosphere, but eating with your hands is fun interactive way to dine on Ethiopian food, we chose the feast because it sampled all the vegetarian dishes on their menu. It's a small menu but everything they do delicious only got an after picture become everything smelledso delicious we couldn't wait and dive right in. Read more

This place is everything. The food is full of flavor and both it and the atmosphere are so authentic. The restaurant is... table-served buffet style where each adult is $20 for the bread and veggies, then you can add on proteins (they're stupendousand well worth the added cost.) This is a bargain for some, but this is a bad deal for people like me who just can't consume $20worth of food. They do have take out options which are just as good and a better deal for me, but get pricey for myhusband. Oh, and be prepared for eating with your hands (no silverware.) It's very worth it!

A wonderful dining experience. From the small touches of a hot towel before and after, to the delicious range of flavors in the... vegetarian feast. We left absolutely stuffed and will return soon! Read more

Phenomenal and authentic! It is an elegant setting perfect for a night out and offers a different and delicious alternative to... other restaurants. Everything tastes fresh and home made. Food isn't too spicy for those sensitive to spice but offers a veryauthentic and thoroughly enjoyable experience! Read more

Authentic unique cuisine. You begin your meal with a steamy hot towel to cleanse your hands. You will not be disappointed... waitresses are dressed in authentic clothing are knowledgeable and helpful with choosing dishes. We always up for the vegetarianplatter with lamb and chicken on the side it is a small portion but it?s definitely a delicacy to have meat. Extremely tenderand well seasoned. Vegetarian platter is all you can eat. Healthy fulfilling meal and fun to eat with hands! Also try their homebrewed tea it?s refreshing. Read more

Interesting dining experience, eating their signature vegetarian feast (all you can eat essentially) without cutlery (using thin... bread to pick up and eat mostly). Honey wine is definitely worth a try if it sounds like something you might like, well balancedand refreshing (not too sweet). Generally a very enjoyable experience coming here. Read more

First time at an Ethiopian restaurant but it was an interesting experience. We went in for restaurant week and ordered the "blue... Nile feast". The food was good, but rather than the entire spread I think next time is order a few of my preferred dishes. Wegot the bread pudding and brownie for dessert. Maybe it wasn't the smartest choice but the brownie was so dry and not good whilethe bread pudding was much better. The drinks were a nice touch but rather expensive. The service was lacking. I drink a lot ofwater and during the main course they did not stop once (~30 minutes). Read more
