Accustomed to Indian food I found Ethiopian/Eritrean a little bland... But the BONELESS FISH was EXQUISITE, quite the tastiest and most satisfying fish that I have ever been served in the West Midlands, well worth a visit there in its own right if you order .nothing else!. I must add that the service is very good too, courteous, welcoming, and helpful.

Such a chill place with amazing food. The portions are massive and reasonably priced. The restaurant has a calm vibe and you can stay for hours on end munching food, drinking coffee and chatting. The owners/staff are super friendly and welcoming. Staff confirmed that the meat is halal.

Recommended to us and we were not disappointed, quite the opposite. Yes the outside isn't great but inside is just lovely. Warm and friendly atmosphere, very welcoming staff,with good advice and tasty food at a reasonable price. We were asked about dietary restrictions and/or veggie,vegan choices. Will definitely go here again 👍

Great customer service and lovely ambience, the food is 10/10 in terms of presentation, value and taste, and if you like a drink I recommend trying their 'Tej' Ethiopian wine. Absolutely divine.

Do not, I repeat, do not let the exterior of this place deter you from dining here. Amazing food, very reasonably priced and great staff. Visited here with my wife for afternoon lunch. The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We're Londoners and wish this place was closer to home. Definitely recommend

We had a lovely time at blue Nile Ethiopian/Eritrean restaurant this evening. It was our first time here and eating habesha food. Not only was the food fresh, it was very tasty and authentic. The staff were super friendly and helpful. They helped us choose our meal and also accommodate our requirements. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Thank you for the wonderful evening. We hope to visit again soon.

Incredible tasty food full of different flavours and textures. Good prices and excellent service. You will come away full and satisfied.

Amazing place, the most amazing experience me and my family had. The food came quick. The service is great. People who work here are SUPER friendly.

I'm sorry but I forgot the name of the dish we had, it was number 49 on the menu. Every 'curry' was different and I enjoyed every bite. I can't wait to come back and try the vegetarian version. Recommended!

Lovely place, great food and really friendly service. Absolutely loved the food and looking forward to going back. Do both vegan and meat options and have a selection of spicy dishes too. Good value in my opinion.

Hands down the best place to get Ethiopian food in Birmingham! our server was patient and nice to 9 uni students. Had coffee ceremony as well, which was just beautiful! Just go and see, you won't regret!

If you want Ethiopian food at its best, then Blue Nile is the only choice! We ordered the Blue Nile special for two and a vegan combination platter. The food tasted absolutely delicious and the portions were huge. The lady serving us was super friendly and kind. The whole restaurant was decorated really nicely as well. Definitely coming back for more 👌

Our first time trying Ethiopian food. We ordered the platter and the tej, of course! It was such a lovely experience getting a taste of many items at once. Great value for money also.

A hidden gem of Birmingham, this place is amazing in every way. When you see it from outside you think it's a tacky, but the decor is outstanding, the atmosphere is epic and the food is to die for. Reasonably priced as well, honestly a must go to if you in Birmingham. Price is unbelievable, we had starter, mains for 3, cold drinks and hot drinks and desser for little man all just over 60 pounds. Keep it up guys. My only little advise, just upgrade your shop front because it doesn't represent how truly brilliant you are.

Excellent service , friendly and welcoming staff. The food is authentic and tastes amazing! The atmosphere is very homely. Second time visiting and it’s always super nice. Always go for the vegan platter for 2 and it’s a generous portion. Not only is good value for money, but the service, the atmosphere is superb! Authentic tasty food! Highly recommend!!!

Friendly owners, great food and atmosphere at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended.

At the first moment you enter this place they give you an excellent feeling. Very friendly hosts, it is a good restaurant to hang out with buddies or with your date. yummy meals, skillful chef, good cost and attentive service. Highly recommended.

Second visit in one week. Down to earth, child-friendly, affordable restaurant. Opted for the coffee ceremony to complete our meal.

It is very nice restaurant I recommend every one who want to visit Eritrean 🇪🇷 and Ethiopian food should go and try ❤️

I love this place and visit every time I go to Birmingham without fail. I've brought several people along on different occasions and they have all loved the food at first try! Only complaint is they are far away from me! Lovely food, great service and friendly staff always feel welcome and comfortable when I visit. The honey wine, tej is also amazing.

I loved this place! The food is really amazing! The interior is cute too and the prices are reasonable. If you're a fan of Ethiopian, make sure to pay this place a visit.

This place is an absolute banger! My friends and me took the Blue Nile plate for 3 people, so that we can try as many dishes as possible. I would highly recommend it to anyone. It is definitely something different from what we are used to in Europe, but it is so delicious, everyone should taste it. However, take care, some other dishes are made of raw meat. And also, some dishes are meant to be eaten with plain fingers. That is how it is meant. Just saying so that you dont get surprised. Not to mention the really nice service. That lovely gentleman even offered us some special eritrean beer that was not found on the menu.

Great atmosphere, friendly owners and has lots of tasty, healthy vegan and vegetarian options. I ordered the vegetarian platter which came with 4 different lentil dishes, 2 veg dishes and salad. All served with injera (Ethiopian flatbread). Was reasonably priced and would definitely go again.

Such a fantastic experience! Food and service was excellent. So reasonably priced as well. Coffee ceremony is unreal 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Food was so fresh Staffs so amazing and very cool Very helpful and explain about all food

Fantastic food. Tried some dorowat and yebeg alicha wot, both beautifully cooked. The host kindly offered us injera which was a very unique bread experience. The best part of the meal was Tej , the Ethiopian honey wine to go with our food. The prices were unbelievably reasonable. We have every intention of going back to try more of their beautiful dishes and a coffee ceremony.

It doesn't immediate look it from the outside, but it's a really lovely restaurant with friendly service and an amazing food! We ordered a sharing meal for two with a variety of meat and veggie toppings on injera and we devoured it within minutes. Ethiopian beer was lovely, too. We also appreciated the useful overview of allergens at the beginning of the menu and the staff were accommodating when we asked for anything dairy on a separate dish.

Great restaurant, have been coming here for years. Very accommodating for big group Great food Great service

10 out of 10 brilliant food,friendly staff and very affordable we had the combo 1/2 vegan 1/2 meat and Ethiopia coffee. We will be back

If you fancy something a little different, this is worth a visit. Large choice on the menu. Good Value and tasty food. Eritrean beer was good too.

Amazing food with good services

Superb- I have had lots of Ethiopian food and this rates right at the top!!

Authentic and delicious

Delicious food and beer, and great vegetarian options; friendly and helpful staff! Be adventurous and give it a go!

Terrible . Overpriced. Tiny portions and food that's not worth the money

Poor quality

An excellent place to have Ethiopian dishes. I tried their vegan dishes and my friend tried their meat based dishe. Our reactions to both foods was expressed through our taste buds. Awesome. I invite everyone to take the fun to your taste buds.

loved it 🥰

Fantastic food

Excellent food and great service

Always best food 😋 missing it

It wasn't my first time trying Ethiopian food but it was for the rest of my family and we all loved the food in this restaurant, plus the ambiance was nice and the Friendly service really made the experience that much more enjoyable.

What an amazing meal. The sharing platter for 2 was absolutely delicious - so much variety and flavour. We can’t wait to come back for more. Incredible beers also - we loved the Asmara and the St George. We also came across the Tej which was absolutely fantastic - a Ethiopian mead, insane! We will definitely be back!

It's delicious food and good service

A lovely restaurant with a great vibe. The staff was extremely friendly, caring and easy going. The decor is very fitting. All aspects deserve the praise, but the real star od the show was food (as it should be in the restaurant). The portions were very generous and the food itself was absolutely delicious with a great balance of flavours. If you have never tried food from this part of the world, then this is your call to do so! I promise you won't be dissapointed.

This place is awesome! Affordable rates, big portions and the employees are always very welcoming.

Lovely fresh food, plenty of alcohol choices at the bar, happy pleasent staff. Would definitely recommend

Me and my wife always by takeaway injera very friendly and good food

Fantastic food and price atmosphere was quiet but could because of restrictions in place

I honestly enjoy the food and customer service, great location close to my home. The workers are always very nice. Will come visit again.

Suitable for both vegetarian and meat lovers. Nice and slow music.

I actually enjoy their food and customer service, awesome area very close to where I live. The cashiers are always very welcoming. Will visit here again.

Excellent Ethiopian food with 100% real teff injera

I love this place. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and the staff are really nice. The food is good value but do yourself a favour and get a Shiro Wot if you're visiting for the first time!

Best Ethiopian delicacy

Extremely Friendly and knowledgeable staff, you feel at ease as soon as you enter, it has such an amazing atmosphere! Amazing coffee 😊. We bought more injera to take home! Will be back with more people for a meal soon! Would give more stars if I could. A must try!

Interesting menu, very friendly host, recommended

Very friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. We had the vegetarian share and the meat share. All very tasty. Also enjoyed the honey wine and Ethiopian beer. At the end of the evening we decided we should experience the coffee as well which was excellent.

Brilliant lovely food

Great Ethiopian food

Great food and lovely decoration. Ambience was also outta the world.

I don't like the food

Bread was genuinely gagging, make sure you get fries instead, but the other food stuffs were not bad.

Get the blue nile special!

High quality food

Surely a place worth stopping over, the food is fantastic and fresh, the pricing is fair and it is consistently neat in here. Keep up the good work.

I went in for a take away, staff was very nice and helpful. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. I chose the vegetables with rice and the food was incredible. Portions were very large, but I ate it all, as it was just so good I couldn't stop eating it. Very good value for money as well. Will definitely come again.

Good

Called in here the other night after a Queen songs at St Paul's Church. Very friendly staff who talked us through what we should try. Totally different experience. Started with a couple of Ethiopian beers, very nice. Went for the mixture of 10 different meals all served on one ginormous Ethiopian bread. Meal consisted of vegetarian and meat selections also served with more rolls of Ethiopian bread. Quite a lot of food which we couldn't finish, so we had it boxed up and took it away. Finished off with a very nice red tea. Will definitely call again.

I had shero and it tasted fantastic I loved it it is the best blue Nile restaurant.
