But really…I’m sure it’s good…I do like spicy.

Hahaha that scene always grossed me out. Every disgusting thing you could imagine was on that table!!!

Everytime I drive by that place I’m gonna think of that scary priest now. Thanks a lot! :lol:

I go there often with my husband. The owner always recognizes us and gives us a special welcome. They have a buffet at lunch for those who are interested in trying many different things. For dinner we always get the veg combo. So yummy! If you like a little extra heat, ask for a side of berbere sauce for dipping. </p><p>My only criticism is that the place could use a refresher in the atmosphere. Messy newspapers in bins, a glass case near the window and tired paint on the walls make the entrance and bar room seem old and unkempt.</p><p>The food is delicious there and it is fun to eat at the little basket type tables, but the decor in the entray room could really use a face lift.</p> I love the Blue Nile.

The food is delicious there and it is fun to eat at the little basket type tables, but the decor in the entray room could really use a face lift.

I actually saw the place for a long time before going in. Maybe it was the idea that an Ethiopian restaurant seemed kind of ironic to me. Growing up in the 80's we all have certain images blazed into our minds about Ethiopia and good food doesn't really pop into one's mind when thinking about the country. After years of passing this spot by I finally went inside to see what exactly Ethiopian food was like, and man I'm glad I did!!</p><p>The closest food like Ethiopian would most likely be Indian food, but it's still very different!! The Ethiopian bread called Injera is great, I loved using it to scoop up all the spicy goodness down to the last drop!! I did enjoy all the spices and even dessert was good with some sort of pudding. I was a vegetarian at the time so I can't comment on the meat dishes there, but ALL the veggie stuff there rocked, and there was a good choice of Veggie dishes to choose from. </p><p>I know that the place also looks like an old house and yeah don't expect anything too fancy. But you should give this place a try sometime for a change of pace. They had a great buffet that I would get for lunch and it was a pretty good deal from what I can remember.</p><p>Anyway cheers for the review, I now HAVE to stop there next time I'm in town, thanks for reminding me!!!! 8)</p> Given that I haven’t been to this spot since I went to OSU and that was 7 years ago, I really loved the food there.
