Posted by The Blue Nile on Friday, 13 January 2012
You will find several Ann Arbour residents who have made Blue Nile Restaurant a must-stop for dinner each time they go out. The atmosphere, especially the manner in which the food is delivered, is fantastic and makes for a delightful social experience. The food is similar in style and flavor to Indian or Middle Easter and you might find yourself overeating when you’re there. You are given an assortment of vegetables and seasoned lentils (and chicken and beef if you choose) that you eat by picking up with Ethiopian bread. Be sure to try the house tea on your visit to the restaurant.
