About Us
Located two blocks north of Harrisonburg's Court Square in the newly renovated Walton Hotel; Blue Nile Ethiopian Cuisine creates the opportunity for residents of the Shenandoah Valley to experience our heritage and culture through our cuisine.
Upstairs we offer home-cooked, fresh and delicious Ethiopian food in a relaxed, non-smoking atmosphere. In our cultural dining area we allow our guests a genuine Ethiopian experience by serving them at beautifully decorated Mesobs, wicker hourglass-shaped tables handmade in Ethiopia. During the warmer months, we will open our patio so that our guests can enjoy outdoor dining.
