Serves meat, vegan options available. Offers a large vegan menu and an organic, raw menu every Sunday and Monday. Casual, Large Groups Ok, Non-smoking. WiFi. Aug 2012 SHUT DOWN.
I don't think I've been there since March of 2011, but I've there multiple times by myself as well as with non-veg coworkers and we all loved it. Great vegan food that leaves you feeling good.
We went here for Thanksgiving. I had had Ethiopian food years ago and I wasn't impressed with it, NOT at this place!!! So, naturally I was leary of having it again. We each picked a dishes and shared. The food was amazing!! All of it was very flavorful, tasty, and amazing! It was reasonably priced and the waiter was very helpful to us. I read previous reviews and was a little hesitant to come here but I saw NO cockroaches, the place was very clean! So, don't let the other reviews scare you. Come to the Blue Nile! You won't be disappointed.
Have the least oily injera bread I've ever had! - Edit
I have eaten at a fair number of Ethiopian restaurants and I almost always feel bloated after eating injera bread. Not so at Blue Nile - their food is flavorful and they have a good number of vegan options. Love the vegan coffee cake (I prefer the strawberry over the orange) although it doesn't really taste like coffee cake.
My roommate took me after we went to ASU for a conference. Yummy! We had the plate of five vegan dishes with a salad in the middle. I see why my roommate is addicted to this place and goes there every time she goes home. They have a vegan coffee cake too.
i've gone many times. the staff is always friendly & patient. the food.... is always... SOOO GOOD! love this place. when ordering the vegan combo plate (for 2 or more) make sure you get the lentils, they're delicious, the eggplant is great too!! and get that beet salad,potato salad,&tomato salad trio they put in the middle for like $1.75 more.
I enjoyed my first Ethiopian meal here. They offer traditional (table/chair) as well as authentic seating options. I liked the vegetarian choices, and loved the injera. The ambiance feels halfway between Cafe Lalibela (restaurant style) and Tina's Ethiopian (casual family dining).

Great Vegan Cheesecake - Edit
After having my main course at Tsom, which is one door away, I came over to this restaurant for dessert. Their cheesecake is excellent.

What's not to like? - Edit
Great vegan ethiopian fare at a low price. They do raw items and I believe they do a raw menu on Sundays and Mondays. My new favorite place to dine.
