My rating might be a little bias because this was my first Ethiopian food experience. However, I have eaten my good share of Indian and Asian variety foods and I can honestly say that if all Ethiopian food is as good as the Blue Nile Restaurant, I'm completely in love! My friend mentioned that she lived with a man from Ethiopia who would cook her authentic Ethiopian meals just like the dishes we ate at the Blue Nile. We had ordered the meat variety platter and the vegetarian platter. I couldn't decide which I like better! Everything tasted so wonderful! Our waitress was super friendly and had a very sincere and genuine attitude. Great service.
The ambiance of the restaurant was perfect as well. Great lighting, marble table tops, gorgeous decor! Also, the prices were very fair. Five of us ate the two platters and only paid around $8 each (including tip!). I am definitely marking this place as my top favorite restaurants in Toronto!
