After consuming truly excellent Ethiopian food at Habesha a few weeks back, our group decided to check out the other offerings around Ottawa. Our next stop was the Blue Nile Ethiopian Cuisine located just east of Ottawa’s Chinatown. We’ve heard about this restaurant through other food bloggers around Ottawa and it’s earned a very respectable 88% on Urbanspoon, so we anticipated a pretty smooth supper experience.
The dining room was relatively quiet on a Friday night so we were shown to a table pretty much right away. The menu is laid out by animal or mineral, with sections for beef, lamb, chicken, and vegetarian. We had intended on ordering the “kitfo special”, the raw beef mixed with kale and cheese, but they ran out of cheese for the day so we settled for the regular kitfo along with our usual Ethiopian mainstays dulet and the vegetarian platter.
