Ethiopian classics, vegan & vegetarian fare, with house-made honey wine
"Blue Nile, a handsome Ethiopian restaurant in JP, offers plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, many of which you can sample all at once via a combo plate, which includes split yellow peas and plenty of tangy injera bread. Also worth a visit: Blue Nile’s sibling, Ethiopian Cafe, just a few doors down at 377 Centre Street." - Nathan Tavares, Celina Colby, Megan Hennessey, Eater Staff
"For unbeatable Ethiopian food and house-made tej, or honey wine, head to JP’s Blue Nile, a handsome restaurant where you can use tangy injera to scoop up saucy specialties, ranging from tender lamb to the spicy red lentil dish misir wat (one of six vegetarian sides included in the veggie combo)." - Eater Staff
"At Blue Nile, there will be rolls and rolls of injera — use it to scoop up deliriously tasty bites of misir wet, which consists of red lentils cooked in a bebere-spiced sauce with ginger, garlic, and cardamom. Also worth trying at this Ethiopian hot spot: the stewed veggie firfir with shredded injera, and the doro wat, a slow-cooked chicken stew packed with onions, tomatoes, chili peppers, and seasoned with herb butter." - Terrence Doyle
"A fixture on Eater’s list of 38 essential Boston restaurants (alongside Tonino)." - Erika Adams
"Beloved Ethiopian restaurant Blue Nile in Jamaica Plain has switched ownership: it was previously run by restaurateur Yosef Haile and has now been taken over by Rob Eugene, a prolific Boston entrepreneur who is also behind the restaurant and nightlife spot Hue in Back Bay." - Erika Adams
