I was reminded why The Blue Nile is our favorite Ethiopian restaurant in the city and probably the country! The food was so delicious you could tell it was made with love, And the warm hospitality made us feel right at home.
Make sure the Blue Nile is on your list of places to visit in KC.

Food was amazing! Highly recommend the sampler platter if it’s your first time! Then you get to try a little bit of a bunch of different foods. The people that work there are so nice and helpful.
Very knowledgeable about the food as well.

When I find myself thinking “I’d really like a meal that actually tastes like something,” this kind of food is exactly what I mean.
Blue Nile blends flavors and textures to create some truly excellent dishes. I had the meat combo, including two meats and three veggies all of which were delicious.
Unless you specifically ask for silverware, you’ll use injera to scoop up your food.
Normally that would be a bit too messy for me, but here I enjoyed the experience. The staff was great, and the restaurant was quiet (with most of the crowd choosing outdoor tables, we had the indoor dining area almost completely to ourselves).
