The food was amazing! We haven't eaten here since before Covid! The food was even better than what I remembered! Great portion... sizes for a great price. We ordered the vegetarian combination along with other vegetarian sides and appetizers! They providedextra enjera, which was very fresh. It was delicious! Read more
The first two time were better.they didn't offer tea or dessert. A little bit slow the service
I ordered take out and they do not package the food well which led to a disappointing experience and feeling like I wasted my... money as it is not cheap. They pack the injera and stew together so by the time you get the delivery the injera has absorbedalmost all the stew and there is very little left and injera is just soggy. Seems to be a very small portion of stew and theygive you so much injera. Please pack the stew in a separate container to avoid this. Only giving 2 stars because the little Ihad left of the chickpea dish which wasn?t absorbed by the injera was tasty. Read more
Seriously good Ethiopian food! After trying to get fed from the kinkole (African) festival which unfortunately was a bust due to... timing we went in search of some GOOD African cuisine. Enter google search and Blue Nile on Gladstone shows up. Thank goodnessfor that! Our family of 4 (2a 2c) loaded into a table of this modest location. Upon walking in the smells of spice and warmcooking wraps you like a big hug. Now, it's important to understand this is NOT fast food, nor is it meant to be. The food andthe experience is to be enjoyed with a little time. Time to cook breeds deep flavours, time to wait breeds deep conversationsand taking a little time to slow down is perfect. We ordered the Blue Nile combo and the lamb tibs with 3 sambussas (2 beef 1veg) as an appetizer. With a coffee (my wife said it was delicious) juice and water the 4 of us left full for a modest $48tab. Now the food...hot, fresh, deep deep flavours throughout. Injera bread is plentiful and not only tasty but used as theutensil. (Instructions on how to eat with it is conveniently on the back of the menu in clear picture style.) For our children,forks were provided upon asking. The sambussas are like a samosa or empanada but from a different flavour profile and the onlyproblem with them is that they disappear from the plate too quickly! You may be wondering why the 4 stars instead of 5. Thatsimply goes to the cleanliness. While the tables and chairs and restaurant in general were clean, the bathrooms were certainlylacking. It looked as though they could use a solid once over with a bunch of cleaning products to bring them up to standard.Yes, the rule is that if the bathroom is bad then don't trust the kitchen but fortunately the kitchen door is open and a look inshowed no issues there. Bottom line...if you want to eat GOOD Ethiopian food with pleasant staff and in a nice relaxedatmosphere, this is the place to go! Read more

The beef combination platter is perfect. The stews are perfectly spiced and are to die for. Takeout is a bit tricky because the... injera soaks up a lot of the stew and becomes a bit soggy but eat it just in time and it?s perfect. Will keep coming back! Read more
