About Us
Blue Nile is a family owned restaurant and has been open since 1994. 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.
