While there are now three Blue Nile restaurants in Michigan, I almost always end up at the one end up at the one in Ferndale (545 W. 9 mile) as it's closest to me. The food is the same at all three: A large piece of Ethiopian fermented flatbread, called injera, on which is served various meat and vegetarian dishes. You scoop up a mouthful of your choice with another piece of injera torn from the stack at the side of the table and feed yourself and your dining companions. It's delicious and lots of fun.
Seen above is our serving a few minutes after it arrived at the table- when food is this tasty, often I can't get the camera ready before the food is half eaten. You can see more photos of Blue Nile food at their web site. Prices are reasonable, though not cheap- $18.90/person for the full feast, and $16.90/person for the vegetarian feast. Add a couple of Ethiopian iced teas or coffees ($1.95) and and two fruit sorbets ($4 each) for dessert, and it'll run you about $60 with tip and tax.
