Blue Nile

Pros: interesting menu, delicious food, great ambiance, great service Cons: not much parking, a tad bit pricy (but worth it) If you want good Ethiopian food in Houston, this is the place! It's a hidden gem, but worth checking out! It's a little on the expensive side, but totally worth it. I would recommend this place for special events, such as a really special date or wedding anniversary. And you don't need reservations. I recommend any of their savory food (trust me--it's all great!), and any of the desserts that are freshly made the day you're visiting; if you ask for any of the other desserts, they'll have to pull them out of the freezer and the flavor will be... passible, but not as good. I'll have to come back for their coffee ceremony at some point!

Very nice ambience and a great experience. The food was so delicious. Mekdes was super professional and very attentive. As it was our first time in blue nile, she helped lot with her awesome suggestions from the menu. Pistachio cake and Ethiopian honey wine are must-tries. Definitely will come back.

I recently dined at Blue Nile and had one of the best restaurant experiences in a long time, thanks largely to my waitress-Mare. From the moment I was seated, she greeted me with a warm smile and a genuinely welcoming attitude. Mare was knowledgeable about the menu and gave helpful recommendations when I couldn’t decide. She checked in at just the right times—never intrusive, but always attentive. she made sure my food came out correctly on time. The dishes were exceptionally delicious and authentic. The Injera was made of 100% Teff which is gluten free and exceptionally nutrient dense. The restaurant has relaxed ambience and great cultural art works/artifacts. I will be definitely going back!!

This dining experience changed my life. The cuisine was exquisite and our server, Mar, was very knowledgeable about the items on the menu and gave excellent recommendations on vegetarian dishes as well. Tne jazz music, the fireplace, and Mar's excellent attention to detail contributed to an atmosphere that will definitely have me coming back. Try the Yefisik Beyayinetu. You won't be disappointed.

I absolutely love eating at this restaurant! The ambiance is beautiful and welcoming, the customer service is excellent, and the location is very accessible. The Ethiopian cuisine is delicious and full of flavor. Most importantly, they serve authentic teff injera( upon request), which is not always easy to find. Every visit is a wonderful experience. Highly recommend!
