This is your sign to try Ethiopian food! Abugida will be one of the best places to experience Ethiopian food. The vegetable Sampler is a great way to try all kinds of different vegetarian sides. It’s mainly lentils, potatoes and greens! It has Indian influence and you can taste the curry in the dishes. The beef tips are a good way to try a very traditional African meal, they were so flavorful and mixing it with greens was just the bet combination! When you go there ask for the African honey wine. I don’t believe it’s on the menu! It was so good. If you had Mead before, it will remind you of it.

I’ve never had Ethiopian food before so was excited to give another cultures food a try. They did not disappoint! Was absolutely delish! And the staff was amazing, I had so many questions and they were so patient with me. I got the beef tibs with cabbage, so much flavor. Also I got the coffee with included ceremony. So so so good! Can’t describe the flavor, but just know it was amazing. Yummers! Great experience all the way around.

If I could give more stars I would! I wanted to explore different food and was suggested to try this spot! I LOVED IT! From the time you walk in until you leave they made sure me and my husband was taken care of and suggested options because I’m not huge on spicy! I definitely recommend!

The service was great and the server was very patient as it was our first time. Thanks! I had the Beef Abugida Feast. When I tell you everything was perfectly seasoned. The flavors meshed very well. I also tried Ethiopian coffee for the first time as well and from the time it hits your tongue there is a burst of flavor that Starbucks could never emulate.

Really good food, service and atmosphere. We felt very comfortable exploring some of the menu options. We tried the feast with beef strips, tea, their beer and coffee. Better be hungry because it was 2 of us and we had enough leftovers for a 3rd person with the feast.

LOVE this family owned, local restaurant. Incredible food. The lamb tips were juicy and tender, perfect spice level. Vegetable sharable injera was also fresh and delicious, and we loved the tomato salad as well as the homemade cheese. We topped our veggie injera with both. I hope places like these can stay on business in this area of East Charlotte

Excellent little place. Open until 8PM. Delicious food. People who know the area know this place is good. I got one of the tiny espressos and put both little packets of sugar in there. Amazing cup of coffee. I also got a vegetarian sampler dish. Superb. Great food. If you don’t know about Ethiopian food, get ready to use your hands.
