We had dinner at the Bleu Nil last evening, never having been to a Nigerian restaurant. It was a wonderful treat. The place itself was lovely, very clean and inviting. The service was excellent. The food was out of this world. We had the tasters choice which involved selecting from a vegan menu and a meat menu. We selected vegan for appetizers and meat for main course, as I was concerned about eating a steak tartar which was in the appetizer selection.
The presentation was very inviting and all of the food was delicious. I was very happy with the tasters choice as it gave us an opportunity to try a cross section of selections. I was not disappointed and my husband was as happy as I with the restaurant and our selections.
For a cocktail, I ordered a cosmopolitan with the caveat that it not be too sweet. It was the best cosmopolitan ever. I really appreciated the bar tenders honoring my request, and I was rewarded with a delicious well balanced cocktail, not too sweet, not too tart, just right.
I heartily recommend this restaurant if you seek a spicy ethnic fare, in a beautiful setting.
