| - Blue Nile is the epicenter of my Ethiopian food world. It was the first place that I ever tried the chewy, sour injera goodness and the savory assortment of vegetably and meaty dishes to sop up with it. Since that fateful hour I have sampled Ethiopian food in many places, from Raleigh, North Carolina to Barcelona, Spain, even Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and nothing...nothing has even begun to compare to Blue Nile in Tempe, Arizona.
When I was going to ASU, I was a vegetarian, so I often shared the vegetarian combo plate with friends. The highlight of the dish is the tomato fitfit...a sort of tomato and lettuce salad right in the middle of the dish. I don't know how they make it, but one of the ingredients is smack, because I am hooked. I have looked for it at all the other ethiopian places I have been to, and no one seems to have it. It's worth a trip back to Tempe just to order that.
The prices are totally reasonable...last time I went with two friends and we got out of there for about $25 plus tip and we were all completely stuffed. God, I love that place. If you live there, make sure to visit often and enjoy it for me!!
