  Had such a great experience at this Ethiopian restaurant in Kansas City! I ordered the dish with four vegetarian samples, and it was absolutely delicious—perfect for sharing between two people. Every item was full of flavor and really satisfying. As someone who’s been in Ethiopian restaurants before, this is by far one of the best!!! The service was also wonderful—the servers were smiling, kind, and gave great recommendations, which made the experience even better. The only downside I’d mention is that the ventilation inside isn’t the best, so I’d recommend sitting outside if you can. Overall, definitely worth visiting!

  I came and ate at the Blue Nile Cafe today I had been reluctant to try there cuisine because well I'm poor like most ppl and I can't afford to not like a dish that's prepared for me so an Ethiopian cuisine is the furthest from my mind when thinking I'm hungry. Yet I was pleasantly surprised by the dish I bought don't ask me how to pronounce it cause I'll fail. It was a lamb and vegetable dish lentils spiced and cabbage carrots potatoes. Served with a type of flat bread more akin to a crepe. It's was quite good a little pricey. I think if you're a vegetarian this place would be an excellent choice for a different spin on your pallet. Meat eaters also. The dish and a beer ran 30$ with tip 36$ a little rich for my blood yet am pleased to at least try there cuisine.

  An excellent spot to stop for a bite after visiting the steamboat museum or shopping the grower's market and game shop just around the corner. Ethiopian food is typically eaten with the fingers using the "bread" they serve it with, however you can ask for utensils if that's not your vibe. Recommend the ginger/pineapple juice--not too sweet! And the chai is made in house as well. Absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced.
