Abugida Ethiopian Cafe & Restaurant

Ate at an Ethiopian restaurant in LA (that I won't name) the day before flying into Charlotte. Landed around dinner time and headed straight to Abugida to get some real authentic Ethiopian food and help erase the disappointment of the LA experience. If you appreciate the real deal Abugida is the place to go!

I drive 45 min every week for a plate. I love their food, it’s the best!

We got the meat lovers, vegetarian platter, and shiro to share and everything was beautifully seasoned. The shiro was our favorite!

If I could give this place more than five stars I would, the food is THAT. GOOD. I was visiting from out of town and I regret that I will likely never eat here again, because I will be thinking about this food for a long time.

Highly recommend the Shiro. It doesn't come with the sampler dishes, but it's well worth it to order an extra side of it.

Even though it takes me about 40 minutes to get here from Fort Mill, it’s always worth the trip!
I picked up takeout today and enjoyed it with my family — the food was absolutely delicious, the service was excellent, and the prices were very reasonable.
There’s really nothing more I could ask for.
My uncle is Ethiopian, so I’ve had a lot of authentic Ethiopian food before, and Abugida is truly one of the best. Highly recommended!

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.

Food was excellent. Great flavor, preparation, and portion. Had dinner for two, leftovers for lunch, and two beers for $40 before tip. The kitfo was delicious, can’t go wrong.
