Botiwalla Optimist Hall - Charlotte

Visited for the first time with family who were visiting. There are so many cuisines to choose from. A little something for everyone. There is seating in and outdoors. I took photos of as many of the places that are indoors (1st level). We ate at Enat Ethiopian, Bao and Broth, Velvet Taco, Zukku San, andBoxcar Betty. There are also restaurants on the ground level. There is an elevator. Plenty of parking. The first 90 minutes are free, 1.5 3 hours will be $5, and 3 24 hours will be $18.There are a few merchandise stores. There's even a store for pets.

This place is a must try for all. We came down for college orientation. Harriet’s has some of THE BEST burgers. The empanada and grill cheese places aren’t bad either. 10/10 definitely recommend! ?

I love Optimist Hall. There is something for everyone. Enat's is my favorite restaurant. They have the best Ethiopian food in Charlotte. My daughter loves Velvet Taco; however, I'm not impressed. The menu is basic and the tortillas get soggy and fall apart before you can take a bite.

This is a fantastic location with a wide variety of restaurants! The range of cuisines and the vibrant atmosphere make it a perfect spot for food lovers. The first 90 minutes of free parking is a nice bonus, although the $5 charge for up to three hours afterward might be worth noting for those staying longer. In particular, the Indian food at Botiwala is highly recommended, and Ava's wood-fired pizza is outstanding. Overall, it appears to be a wonderful destination for a delicious dining experience!

I visited this restaurant for the first time while exploring downtown Charlotte, and I was impressed. It offers a wide variety of delicious food options, along with some interesting shops. The outdoor seating area is lovely, making it an ideal spot for both small and large groups. There's also ample indoor seating throughout the venue. I highly recommend Optimist Hall to anyone seeking tasty bites and a great atmosphere outdoors.
