Blue Nile-Ethiopian Restaurant

Blue Nile Ethiopian Restaurant (Ethiopian Yellow Pages) is a family owned restaurant and has been open since 1994. We have been nominated as one of the best ethnic restaurant among the Houston community. Food lovers will enjoy the unique taste of Ethiopian dishes in a warm and friendly environment. We serve our traditional dishes with Injera bread that is 100% made of teff. Injera is a soft spongy pancake-like bread made out of teff flour. It is traditionally served in Ethiopia where a variety of stews, meat dishes and salads, are placed upon the injera. Teff, an Ethiopian Staple, is the smallest grain in the world, yet it contains giant nutrition. It’s high in protein, iron and minerals with a calcium content more than 17 times that of wheat or barley.

Ethiopian Restaurant

Our first Restaurant was opened in 1994 by Tina Ameblue after family friends that always enjoyed her cooking and encouraged her. She left her $4.25-an-hour housekeeping position and began work on the first modest Blue Nile Restaurant. Now two decades later, thanks to Tina, tens of thousands of Houstonians have enjoyed Injera and the Ethiopian Cuisine.

With over 24 years of mastering the unique flavors of Eastern Africa and consistent accolade from the Houston community. The natural expansion of Blue Nile came about in 2018 with the new restaurant opening in the Upper Kirby district. Patrons can expect the same exceptional service, delicious Ethiopian foods, and traditional style of eating.
