This health-nut paradise has been taking care of Houston's hearts for many years. Those with artistic spirits are particularly attracted to the somewhat Bohemian atmosphere featuring the world of Hobbits. Dining outdoors on a deck is extremely popular in fair weather. A few sinful menu options are available such as a hefty hamburger but vegetarian choices like spinach and mushroom enchiladas are the true crowd-pleasing items. Even the desserts manage to be tempting without overwhelming the body with fat and calories.

Family owned and operated, Blue Nile is an authentic Ethiopian restaurant. The traditional cuisine offered here is heavy on the vegetable side accompanied by spicy meat. Most dishes are large enough to share and come with Injera bread for dipping. They also have a wide range of vegetarian options. The Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony is a must try, the coffee is freshly roasted and brewed onsite when ordered!
