The food was amazing! We will definitely come back my husband and I drove two hours to get to this location the food was homemade the Injera bread was so soft and light the vegetables OMG! I can’t even explain the flavors. I remember corn,collard greens, and some other type of veggie stews, it was amazing! We started with coffee with no sugar it was quite tasty but of course all coffee with no sugar you know it’s bitter, but it was amazing as well the tea I cannot even explain so many flavors! We will definitely be back thank you for the hospitality and the great food. This location also has a different variety of items from popcorn kernels, grains, to home decor definitely a one stop shop amazing people great customer service. Great Prices! We ordered the veggie platter and Beef Tibs.

Amazing overall experience. I was here yesterday for my first time and was blown away. I do not remember the name of the beef dish i ordered but it was high quality, well seasoned, cooked to perfection beef. My friend got the veggie option and i tried all of her food and it was great as well. The woman who cooked our food (im assuming one of the owners) was the best host. The tea alone is worth going for. Thank you so much for such a great experience. I will be back.

I always appreciate the quality and authenticity of food here and the hospitality! The prices are reasonable and the food is amazing. I took some out of town guest for lunch and they loved it. We ordered the vegetable combo, Kitfo, and Foul....Ummmm!! It looked just like the photos. (which almost never happens when you go out to eat anymore. ) Then, we were blessed with the most perfect cup of coffee. (Note coffee is authentic and requires you to call the day before for prep. The beans are roasted by hand :-0 )

great dining experience…my first for Ethiopian cuisine. The food was tasty and the staff was very welcoming.

Just go try it! That’s all I have to say. Tsigay is one of a kind. This isn’t your normal restaurant experience. You get to experience Ethiopian hospitality along with homemade cooking. Don’t forget to shop around (Yeap I said shop😂) grab organic Ethiopian coffee beans along with spices and hand made cultural crafts.

Great food. The food is DELICIOUS. Fresh and fast. Friendly staff.

Very honest and nice people! I drove a couple hours to Charlotte and bought some Berbere from them. Well the next day I noticed I was WAY overcharged due to a typo while checking out. So I called them and explained the situation. They were very apologetic and wanted to make it right, but I live far away and I could not come back to refund the money to my card. They went out of their way to find another way to make the refund happen. Fantastic people with a very respectable business! I know where I am going for lunch next time I am in town. P.S. The Berbere is amazing! I am glad it came in such a large quantity, because I am going to go through it quick.

This place is amazing! Such good hospitality from one of the owners, Siga, and such wonderful food :) I came here for my birthday and I do not regret it. I highly recommend the veggie combo platter, the Derek beef tibs, and sambusa. The food is super authentic and you get such a good experience. I’m wishing many more years of success for this place because they honestly deserve it ❤️

I don’t really post reviews but I had to rave about this restaurant. I’ve had Ethiopian food in NYC and this was just as fantastic. Everything was made fresh, felt home made and delicious. We just asked the owner what she recommends and we got vegetarian and meat options. Will be visiting again.

Having lived in Ethiopia, I can say that this is really close to the real deal. It's difficult to hide behind injera and it is truly delicious here. Vegetarian and non vegetarian dishes are prepared to order, perfect for sharing. Ethiopian food is never fast, so order ahead if you are in a rush. A down to earth local eatery worth trying if you've never had Ethiopia before.

Today was my first experience with Ethiopian food and i will definitely be back for more. Everyone was friendly and provided information on the menu and helped me with making a selection. My next visit I plan on trying the tea If you are in Charlotte and wanting something good to eat please stop by and visit this restaurant/shop.

I've been craving Ethiopian food for weeks, and we finally decided to check out Nile. It's a busy spot that offers something for meat-eaters and vegetarians alike. We ordered the awaze tibs and the veggie sampler, and each ate a bit of everything. The only thing I would change is adding just a little more spice to the meal. I think the kitchen must have toned ours down after someone in the group behind us expressed his meal was too spicy. Also, it's a bit on the pricey side for an impromptu lunch out, but the quality is fantastic, and the portions are very generous (I'm looking forward to my leftovers!).

Ethiopian food is one of my favorites, and this place is the best! The owners are very friendly and all the food tastes homemade. I love the minchet abish, which is a spicy, flavorful stewed ground beef, and the veggie combo to balance it out. The portion sizes are large and made for sharing. Can't recommend this place enough!

This is the best Ethiopian you can get in Charlotte. It's a very low l Key hole in the wall place but the food is absolutely top notch. The owner favors organic food whenever possible and the service is very personal and friendly.

I loooooooved my experience there, great food, amazing service. It was my first time having Ethiopian food and they showed me how to eat it. And the tea was perfect! Definitely a great meal.

Delicious! Everything you could ever want in a neighborhood restaurant. The sambusa was so good. We will be back.

Was visiting from out of town and had such an excellent meal here! So so so tasty and great portions. Also a very welcoming/community oriented feel to the restaurant <3

Although I go here pretty often... And get something simple, my fiance can never walk past here without getting food. He absolutely loves it! He can get some food to go or sit down and eat and this place is always packed! It's not really my cup of tea particularly but I know people absolutely love this place and so does he! I do like stopping in for a quick bite to eat or drink when I am hungry after shopping for a day. I know that the place is clean and well taken care of and run by great people. I would definitely recommend stopping at this little gem of a place for a bite to eat, all types of people come here.... It really feels like you're sitting at your family's dinner table with the buzz of other family members sitting around you, it's always really friendly and even the other customers here are always really nice and friendly. Just an overall amazing atmosphere. Sometimes I go in there just to get a quick drink because I always like going in and seeing the people. What an interesting place!

I checked out the store and they have nice Ethiopian items. I bought a jebena and injera for an slightly expensive yet reasonable price

Went to this place for the first time today for my birthday and the food was amazinggggggg!!! Affordable, authentic and delicious. The owner was the sweetest, making sure we had everything we needed for an amazing experience. This was my first time eating Ethiopian, I was afraid because when looking at the menu most items had jalapeños in it, but they ask how spicy you like your food and make it to your liking. I also had the hot tea and it was really good with agave in it. I'm definitely going back and would reccomend this to anyone in Charlotte looking for amazing food and service 😊😊
