The Blue Nile is a family run Eritrean - Italian café and restaurant, harking back to Eritrea’s colonial history. 

Our menu has a mix of Italian and Eritrean classics, from Italian coffees, pasta and ice-creams to Eritrean ‘kemem’ tea (tea infused with cloves, cinnamon, star anise and ginger), warm ‘ful’, meat stews infused with cardamom and cinnamon and cooked in ‘tesmi’, a warm and comforting spiced butter and our delicious home made sweet cardamom flavoured bread called ‘himbasha’.

A lot of our recipes are gluten – free and we have a wide range of vegetarian dishes.
