The Blue Nile

The other night I stopped in at the Blue Nile Restaurant in Ann Arbor, Michigan. If you haven't been to this restaurant, you should put it on your to-do list. This Ethiopian eatery unique, elegant, and boasts a "traditional Ethiopian royalty feast."

Ethiopian food is meant to be eaten from the same plate. The website describes it like this:
Significant in the Ethiopian culture is eating from the same plate and sharing the same bread (called injera). It is said that people who eat from the same plate and break bread together will create a bond of friendship and personal loyalty.

Stop by the Blue Nile restaurant next time you visit Ann Arbor. Located on Washington Street, the Blue Nile is likely not far from your downtown destination.
