Yum, yum, yum. You Charlotteans really need to check out this Eritrean / Ethiopian establishment.
The taste level is above what I've experienced at the Meskerem's of the world, and you're definitely in for more of an authentic experience, with real teff injera and more varied menu options such as the tartars.
I went with the avocado salad and veggie platter. Taste level was outstanding for both -- 5/5. Perfectly cooked, fresh vegetables and the injera was perfect for me...not too sour with a touch of sponginess.
The owner is super nice, and really goes out of his way to make sure you're happy. I get the sense that it's literally a mom & pop shop. He even offered me an extra helping of my favorite part of the veggie combo (happened to be the spicy chickpeas). All I can say is double yum. :)
Why is this not a 4? Plastic over the tables, a 90" tv showing football matches, and the hookah bar next door detract from the restaurant experience for me. I'd recommend they go full-on food, because they're that good but apparently they're trying to do the bar thing too which is disappointing but very African-restaurant-esque sadly.
