Blue Nile Ethiopian Cuisine is located in the State Street space that used to house Evergreen Café. Ethiopian food is traditionally eaten not with utensils, but with spongy bread called injera—baked in-house—that you use to scoop up the exotic, curry-infused stews and sauces. You can choose to eat at the American-style tables and chairs, or one of the traditional Ethiopian tables called messobs. Begin your dining adventure with an appetizer called yemisir sambusa, which are triangle-shaped pastries stuffed with a tasty blend of lentils, onions, spices and scallions. In order to taste a wide variety of flavors, order one of the generously portioned combo plates—you’ll have plenty of leftovers to take home and enjoy later.
