Welcome Share a truly unforgettable dining experience right here in Columbus at Blue Nile Restaurant without having to travel thousands of miles. Gather around the tray (Mosseb) made for a group to eat from the same platter. Experiencing the community dish by eating from the same plate and sharing the same bread (called Injera) is socially significant in the Ethiopian culture and also creates a bond of friendship and personal loyalty between the diners. It is said that people who eat from the same plate (Mosseb) will never betray one another. Injera, a flat tangy, crepe-like bread, is the essential part of the meal. It is made out of teff, wheat and corn flours. Teff is a cereal grain, until now unique to Ethiopia, which is rich in iron, protein, complex carbohydrates, calcium, potassium, and other minerals. By pinching a bite-sized piece of Injera, it is used to scoop up chunks of food, placing it into your mouth or your partner's -- which is considered a gesture of affection. |
Berbere sauce (spiced stew) is used in many dishes, creating a spicy base from red peppers. Blue Nile spices give the dishes a personal touch of distinction which you will undoubtedly enjoy. Alechas (mild stew) are more delicately seasoned dishes which do not use the Berbere sauce, but are flavored with butter and subtle spices. Prepare yourself for a truly unforgettable dining experience. Faithfully yours, |
