my FAVORITE place in Houston! by kal83 on 12/9/2010 via Citysearch
Absolutely my favorite place to eat in Houston.\r The food is fantastic. The staff is extremely polite. \r If you haven't tried Ethiopian food, this is the place to do it. Try a veggie sampler and a meat sampler (there's a few to pick…

Good food but lacking in ambience by Wes A on 1/5/2010 via Insider Pages
The food here is pretty good and the prices are very reasonable. The only reason I'd hesitate making this one of my regular places is the restaurant ambience is lacking. It's got a tiki hut looking bar and the inside of the restaurant was…

Very confusing to rate! by danielg69 on 9/4/2009 via Citysearch
Went here a few days ago to try something outside the box for Houston. Our waitress was very nice and took the time to explain several menu items. Of the 3 main "plates" we ordered none were particularly good. I found the price and…

great place to dine by worldmission on 8/21/2009 via Citysearch
I have been to various restaurants. Dinning at Blue Nile was one of the best experiences of my life. The inside set up and decoration was spectacular. I was served by Aster. I usually order firfir but I asked Aster for Awaze tibs just out…

A Great Dining Experience by MikeMcAuley on 6/9/2009 via Citysearch
We dined there last Saturday night and there was a decent crowd. Contrary to other reviews I've read, the service was excellent and the food was tasty. We had the variety platter since I was the only one of our group ever to have eaten…

First Date by Nefertari on 3/25/2009 via Citysearch
My mate and I had our first outing here. It was perfect. The music, the decorations, the location, we just felt like we were in the motherland. We only wished we were there in time for the live entertainment. The food was top of the line…

Bad experience by TJPatel on 10/23/2008 via Citysearch
Last week I was dining with three of my friends and found out things are changing in Bluenile. All four of us agreed that the food quality and quantity noticeably is degrading and nothing like it used to be. The Enjera was like a flat…

Best Customer Service and Best Ethiopian Food by SYMBLUE on 8/19/2008 via Citysearch
I dined at Bluenile Ethiopian Restaurant with a group of friends last weekend and we had the best experience. The ambiance was casual. The food was spicy and delicous. The coffee ceremony was great. The waitress was pleasant and…

Poor customer service by kashmere86 on 8/10/2008 via Citysearch
I have been eating here for the past 6 years. The food is good but there is something to be said about customer service. I am usally one of there biggest fans and I am always telling about trying something new. But after my last…

Exotic delicious food by cse1973 on 4/9/2008 via Citysearch
I didn't know what I was doing because I've never eaten Ethiopian food before, but the two orders my boyfriend and I shared were both great. One was minced lamb, the other a chicken dish, both spicy. Served family style on a big round…

Fantastic Ethiopian food that just keeps getting better and better by trent880 on 3/26/2008 via Citysearch
This is probably my favorite place in Houston, and one of the very few reasons I leave the 610 loop. The service is always very friendly and the food is fantastic. The injera is soft and consistent, the Ethiopian equivalent of stews and…

good stuff by ricecakesaregood on 1/19/2008 via Citysearch
the food is good, but the portions are on the small side. my husband and i get always get 2 veggie plates and 2 doro wats. that's we've been there a few time and everyone is always pretty friendly. my 2 year old daughter doesn't' do well…

Best place to eat with your hands by kilts on 12/26/2007 via Citysearch
Though it's a million miles away (okay, I exaggerate; it's just 15 miles from downtown), this destination is worth the trip. We miss our previous Ethiopian favorites (one located on Westheimer, near Montrose, the other located on Bellaire…

Definitely a different dining experience... by koreanberry on 11/19/2007 via Citysearch
I've never had Ethiopian food, so it was definitely a new experience. You get to dip your Injera (Ethiopian crepe) into a communal dish of veggies or meats and eat with your fingers. The Injera is a little sour and I wasn't able to get…

Definitely worth trying by chilmin on 9/19/2007 via Citysearch
My friends had warned me that Ethiopian food tastes horrible because the bread is sour and the meats pureed, but I'd have to disagree. The bread was slightly sour but actually really good and filling. My friend and I ordered the…

Best Ethiopian I've ever had; service needs improvement by isaraarasi on 6/29/2007 via Citysearch
I love Ethiopian food, and have been to Ethiopian restaurants in New York and the Little Ethiopia part of L.A. So far, Blue Nile is the best Ethiopian food I've ever had! \r \r The only two negatives are - it's easy to miss, especially…

Awesome food and an awesome experience by pinoyvlf on 11/24/2006 via Citysearch
This is a great place to take a date to if you want to eat and experience something different. Just make sure that your date is comfortable with this kind of thing. The food is delicious and they have combination plates for those that…

definitely a great find in houston if you want a different, unique, and fun dining experience. the main highlight: you eat with your hands! the taste and quality of food is surprisingly succulent and satisfying - with big portions to…

Excellent Ethiopian Food by tlws on 11/1/2006 via Citysearch
The Blue Nile is an excellent restaurant and an excellent option for vegetarian dishes. The service is great. I always leave there with a full stomach and a full wallet (The price is right).

Not what we were expecting by sassyraidergirl on 9/9/2006 via Citysearch
I am not an adventurous eater, but I was with a group celebrating a friend's birthday who is really into trying new foods. I put on my brave face and joined the group at Blue Nile...afterall, all of the reviews on Citysearch were RAVES!! …
