Dining at Blue Nile Ethiopian Restaurant in Ann Arbor is a delightful journey! The vegetarian feast is a must-try - flavorful and hearty, it offers a fantastic variety. I particularly loved the spiced Ethiopian tea, sweetened perfectly with cinnamon. The communal dining experience brings a warm vibe, ideal for sharing and connecting with friends.

The decor is cozy, enhancing the experience, while the fast service keeps the meal flowing smoothly. Just a heads up, you can’t take leftovers of the vegetarian dishes, which felt a bit wasteful. Overall, a lovely night out! 🌿
