Coffee is as big in Ethiopia and East Africa as it is in Sydney. We take that back – it’s bigger. Ethiopia is the original home of the good bean, and you can bet that Ethiopians have elevated it to a status far beyond what Sydneysiders would call reverence. Of course, in this city – Blacktown not excepted – its mandatory that a cafe worth its crema offer properly barista-brewed coffee to its customers, and while this is the daily business at Blue Nile African Cuisine & Cafe, it’s here that you can also experience the ultimate arabica worship ritual: the Ethiopian coffee ceremony.
This ceremony is composed of three rounds of the good stuff – awel, kalei, and the last round barakah, which means to be blessed. Here at Blue Nile African Cuisine & Cafe they use only single source Ethiopian coffee from Djebena Coffees, and seeing as these ceremonies occur traditionally at festivities, Blue Nile offers them in conjunction with one of the restaurant’s banquets for five or more people (or a fully-catered function of ten or more) comprising a range dishes plucked from African soul food traditions – Somali fried rice, East African fried chicken and fish dishes, Sudanese tomato salata bel Daqua and a whole lot more.
