"...Choosing the name of the holiday month for their restaurant was a natural, says co-owner Alex Ayalew. "It is the best time of year," said the native of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Meskerem Ethiopian Cuisine is the fourth restaurant of the Ayalew family. The first opened in Manhattan 12 years ago; two others are also in New York. "We thought the time was right to open in Charlotte," added Ayalew, who has been in Charlotte for the past five years. The family sampled the market here by selling street food during festivals." read more...

"An Ethiopian meal is a dramatic event. The added sensory elements of touching your food, maybe even feeding your companion, smelling fragrant spices and tasting exotic flavors create an atmosphere that is alluring and sensual. Although families are welcome and kids love the food, Meskerem is also a great place for a first date - or a fun romantic evening with your spouse." read more...
