About Blue Nile Ethiopia Restaurant

Blue Nile Ethiopia Restaurant, which also uses the Turkish name Mavi Nil, is an Ethiopian restaurant on Kumrular Caddesi in Kızılay. On its Instagram account it describes itself simply as an Ethiopia restaurant in Ankara, and it posts in Amharic as well as English, with posts continuing into 2026. The kitchen is built around injera, the Ethiopian flatbread, and in one announcement the restaurant tells customers that it supplies injera in Ankara and takes orders by phone. Google reviews quoted on the Restoranim.net listing mention a Special platter, rice with meat, a lentil and rice dish, boiled potato and carrot, beetroot pickle and traditional Ethiopian coffee, which one guest came specifically to try. Some reviewers praise the warm welcome and the chance to learn about Ethiopian culture from the staff, while others mention slow service and limited Turkish, so allow time for a relaxed meal. The Ankara food site ankarayemek.tr includes it in its 2026 list of places to eat in Kızılay as a restaurant offering ethnic flavours for a different experience. Practical notes: the restaurant gives the phone numbers 0544 657 26 95 and 0553 914 47 64 for information and orders. The website address shown in its Instagram profile no longer works, so use the phone or Instagram to check opening times before a visit.
