Nile Grocery & Cafe

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'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!).

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 😊😊

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 )
