Welcome to The Blue Nile Ethiopian
Restaurant
Dining at the Blue Nile is truly a unforgettable dining experience...
Significant in the Ethiopian culture is eating from the same plate and sharing the same bread (called
injera). It is said that people who eat from the same plate and break bread together will create a bond of friendship and personal loyalty between the diners that will last a lifetime.
Essential part of the meal is the injera (Ethiopian bread), a flat, tangy, crepe-like bread, made with self-rising wheat flour
or teff and water. No dairy products, eggs, or shortening are used. By pinching a bite-sized piece of
injera, you can use it to scoop up chunks of food, placing it into your mouth or that of your
partner -- which is considered a gesture of affection (called gursha). Traditional American utensils
are available on request.
