    Beef shawarma. My buddy said the coleslaw sweetness was a nice combo with the beef

    They had real pepper sauce that I haven't had in years, was nostalgic. Saw this on my way into Walmart and thought "I haven't had a GOOD meal today"; they did not disappoint. Touched a part of my childhood and reminded me of my parents cooking. Me and my buddy were just talking about our satisfaction the entire meal. PLEASE BE MORE GENEROUS WITH THE NAPKINS. I was going in on the SPICY NOODLES and my face is tingling from the pepper sauce.

    Chicken and fries

    My seven year old *loved* the chicken and fries. He talked about the chicken for the rest of the day. We're definitely going back when the timing works out.

    Too Good!

    I've ordered from Mama Put African Food several times through DoorDash, though I haven't dined in…read moreyet. If you're planning to eat there, just know the food isn't fast--it's made fresh to order, so expect a little wait, but it's worth it for hot, quality meals. My go-to is the egusi with chicken and a side of pounded yam. I'll also switch it up with their vegetable soup and pounded yam, which is always a good choice. I've tried the jollof rice as well--I'd give it about a 7/10. It's solid, especially with chicken, and I recommend asking for a little extra red sauce or gravy to take it up a notch. Overall, the food is consistently good when I order delivery. One thing to watch for--they've occasionally forgotten my extra pounded yam, so double-check your order before settling in. I can't speak on the dine-in service or ambiance yet, but based on the food alone, I'd definitely recommend them.

    Very respectful staff. I received my food right away and you can watch them fix your food. The…read morerestaurant is nicely designed with new tables and chairs. It's very quiet which I appreciate, I don't care for loud music in a restaurant. The food is very plentiful, meaning they serve you large portions. I ordered the jollof rice with sweet plantains and a side of chicken. The rice is delicious, not spicy at all. The chicken makes me wish I would've doubled my order. The plantains could've been more ripened never the less, I enjoyed my food and plan to visit again soon

    I thought East African Cuisine Eritrean and Ethiopian was closed. I stopped on two occasions. I…read morethought welp, that's just one more Ethiopian restaurant closed in Charlotte. My friend wanted me to meet her there and insisted they were open. I had my doubts but rolled in and what did I see???? An illuminated OPEN sign! Yipppeeee! We walked in a little carry out space with a couple of high top tables, looked like take out, the lady had a steam table loaded with 8 dishes, it's kind of like buffet, but Terry fixes your plate. (I used to work with a waiter from NY, when Southerners said, "fixin", he would say, "is it broken?") She loads it up with all the veggie dishes, there were one or two meat options too. I didn't try any, now I'm mad at myself, why didn't I? Plenty of injera and Terry's homemade hot sauce available. The door to the bar is open, so you can sit in the bar with your heaping plate of goodness, there's even a patio if you would like to sit outside, but not a lot of shade so it would have to be the perfect afternoon for al fresco dining. We enjoyed our lunch, barely talking, scarfing down our food, Ethiopian is one thing that I cannot eat fast enough!!! If I'm with people, I have to make myself stop and talk. Be sure to make time for coffee service. Ethiopian coffee is unique. They hand roast the beans, grind them, steep in a tiny, clay pot and serve with warm milk, tiny cups and popcorn. WHAT THE WHAT? My head exploded. I had a most enjoyable lunch, can't wait to return! Lunch is $10 and on Wednesdays it's $9!!!!!!!! CUNW.

    Always love the Ethiopian food. This was my first Ethiopian food place in Charlotte. Food is great…read more Service is average! They took a while to get us Seated despite the fact that there were not many customers during that time.only for the good food we visited couple of times!
