Abugida Ethiopian Cafe & Restaurant

Great injera! Great honey wine! And some of the best Fitfit I have ever had. Often people don’t spice their fitfit correctly, and this was spiced perfectly. They also chopped up bits of injera in their Fitfit, and I’ve not always seen that. The food is outstanding! We have eaten a lot of authentic Ethiopian food, and I always judge the quality of the restaurant by their injera. And I’m always hoping that they have some sort of honey wine, whether it is homemade or it is tej. We had the Abugida Feast, which included chicken or beef and all of the veggies. It was plenty of food for two people. Although I’m still glad that I got the Fitfit. The atmosphere was good, a little bit chilly inside, but the plates were very pretty as well as the glassware. The servers were attentive, and the food

The staff was excellent with explaining the menu & asking if we will be eating off the same dish. The food displayed beautifully and tasted great. I wish there were better options on the drinks such as traditional iced sweet tea or fountain drink soda for refills vs. the can. The restaurant was cozy. The unisex restroom was clean. We ended up parking in the parking lot beside the business instead of in back. We will be back.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Charlotte, and certainly the best authentic Ethiopian restaurant. I have been a frequent customer for a few years. I’ve never had an unpleasant experience. The staff is very friendly, and the restaurant is very well kept.

The food was pretty good. Not the greatest. Tried the non-veg platter. The Doro wet was great. The service was good. Loved the experience with the coffee. The ambience is okay. The restrooms are pretty neat. A quick stop to have some decent Ethiopian food. Price is more on the higher end.

The chicken, beef and lamb tibs dishes here are all great but I lean toward the lamb. This is a different kind of experience as you eat your meal with the bread that's served. There are plenty of vegetarian options for those looking for that. The wine and coffee available here are also very good.
