The Nile: Not just a river
Eat with your hands, make a mess, and nobody will laugh at you! Try some of the most exotic food you’ve probably ever had at Richmond’s only Ethiopian restaurant, the Nile Ethiopian Restaurant and Cafe. You’ll soon find out you have taste buds you never knew existed.
Eat with your hands, make a mess, and nobody will laugh at you! Try some of the most exotic food you’ve probably ever had at Richmond’s only Ethiopian restaurant, the Nile Ethiopian Restaurant and Cafe. You’ll soon find out you have taste buds you never knew existed. You’ll eat delicious cuisine that has roots spanning back centuries, although it’s just hit the River City two months ago.
I talked at length with Getanek Wondemaghew, owner of the Nile, who came to Richmond from Ethiopia by way of Washington, D.C. The real Capital City is actually home to the largest contingent of Ethiopian restaurants in the nation. Richmond had zero so Getanek Wondemaghew and Girmachew Tesfaye decided to graciously provide Virginia’s Capital city with a taste of their Old Country.
You can be sure that you will get an authentic meal presented in true Ethiopian fashion. It is up to you if you wish to engage in gursha and go the full 10 yards. Gursha is an Ethiopian tradition where friends and even strangers who are eating together, feed each other (remember, it is with the hands so don’t worry, no one will stab you in the eye with a fork).
