Compared to other Ethiopian Restaurants in Charlotte this one is cute, good atmosphere and music and the staff is attentive and organized. I ordered the Veggie Platter, omg so good! I can’t wait to come back and recommend this place!

I had a wonderful time at Enat Ethiopian Restaurant,with my club called G.E.M.S.of seven ladies! The cozy, intimate atmosphere made us feel like VIPs.

We enjoyed the family-style Ethiopian dining, sharing flavorful dishes on traditional injera. Supporting African-American businesses is important to us, and this restaurant truly celebrates our culture.

I've visited this restaurant a few times and I am always happy. The food is so delicious, service is friendly. I tried the vegan platter and it is super delicious. I also tried a lamb dish and appetizer. Very happy with the flavors. 😎😊
