14 Hottest Restaurants in Charlotte, February 2025

"Chef Ammalu Saleh of Serengeti Kitchen puts Tanzanian flavors in the spotlight at Uptown’s 7th Street Market. From the tender chicken in a biryani marinade down to the tamarind juice, the spices, from cardamom to chili, pack a punch. The Swahili plate of fluffy coconut rice, chicken, collards, and plantains is a must-get. The $20 and below prices are a nice touch, too." - Kayleigh Ruller

WOW!!! This was our first experience trying Tanzanian food. We were excited to try and the very nice young man gave us his recommendation and we tried it. Swahili Chicken Biryani and Samosas were perfection. The flavors were absolutely amazing. I can’t wait to bring my friends and family to try this.

This was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I got the Swahili chicken biryani plate and the meat was so tender and delicious, I was already thinking about the next time I'd come eat here! The beans paired really well with the chicken. I would come back here 10000 times. So so so yummy and flavorful!!! The service was also amazing! Wish I could give 10 stars!!

RUN do not walk to Serengeti Kitchen! This is hands down some of the best food that we’ve had in Charlotte! We had the lamb plate and chicken Briyani plate- both were amazing. The flavors were delicious, there are generous portions and best of all you can tell that the food was cooked with love. This was a 10/10 experience and we cannot wait to go back!

An unexpected find in Charlotte since it serves Tanzanian food which is rare in the United States. I had the grilled lamb bites Swahili plate which was delicious and elevated the dining scene in Charlotte. I wished the portions were bigger for the price but otherwise was delicious.

We are from out of town and wanted to visit The Market on 7th ave for dinner, and we wish we found Serengeti Kitchen sooner! It is very fresh and filling, some of the best food we have ever had. I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant, it is a highlight of our trip to Charlotte and it is the one place we will definitely visit again in the future! I want to go back and shake the chef's hand it is so good

Most amazing food ever! The lamb was so juicy and perfectly cooked. My husband got the chicken and it was also amazing! If I lived around the area I would come more often. Thank you for the delicious food and hospitality.

I just savored the last of my Swahili chicken bowl, and I can't wait to be able to have more! The portion is large and flavors were amazing. Heat, but not too much, nothing over or under done w regards to cooking and flavors. I can't wait to try more of their dishes! You don't have to be an adventurous eater to enjoy this! Highly recommend!

This is probably the best healthier option at 7th Street Market. The Swahili plate is very filling and flavorful. The food is sort of a cross between Indian and African food.

Great authentic Swahili food located inside the market at 7th st. I also ordered side of chapati flaky and delicious. Will come back. The lamb bites, rice and beans , plantain and rice were cooked to perfection with a little spice.

I was promptly greeted when approaching. The menu was not overwhelming, yet had enough options for meat eaters and non-meat eaters (Vegans ). The prices are reasonable, the food was very flavorful and plentiful (had enough leftovers for second meal). They validate parking at the connected garage (up to 2 hours). Seating was not an issue even on an unusually busy early Saturday afternoon at The Market on 7th St. I will be returning multiple times in the near future.

The food is amazing. Everything was nicely seasoned. The staff was super friendly. I ordered one of the combination plates which included chicken, coconut rice, beans, and some collard greens. I wish I would've taken pictures to display the food.
