"This Egusi is definitely 10/10 very authentic and very well portioned .. Everything was sooo delicious and well seasoning , that spicy kick makes you want to back off but because the dish is so delicious you just have to have one more bite ! "
"Okra Soup proportion is too small for the amount that they are asking for the cost
of the okra soup. I have visited many West African restaurants in the metropolitan area of the Washington DC area, and I have ordered that special dish on many occasions because of it's
nutritional benefits, and not once I
have complained about the small
proportion."

"I never leave reviews. However, I was compelled to leave one this time. This may be the first time I have taken the time to write. This is perhaps one of the greatest dining experiences I've ever had on DoorDash. I've made at least 500 orders. In my life, I've had Ethiopian food all over the world. And I grew up in Strong Ethiopian communities. I have been gurshawed and have gurshawed... insofar as vegan/vegetarian -- the food at Ethiopic is out of this world, it's tastes like grandma made it but it's presented in a modern clean style... but all in all Ethiopian... I loved every single item. Perfectly seasoned, perfectly complimenting each other. I pray this place has so much success... and they gave you so much food, I'm over-full and it was so so so fresh. My colleagues thought so as well."
"Ethiopic continuously proves why it is an elite spot for Ethiopian cuisine. Having ordered from here repeatedly, the quality is remarkably consistent, but this order of Awaze Tibs was an absolute standout.
The meat was tender, perfectly seared, and rich with deep, aromatic awaze spice that delivers just the right kick. Paired with fresh injera and flavorful sides, every bite was incredible. From flavor complexity to takeaway execution, Ethiopic delivers absolute perfection every single time."

"The Halloumi Cheese Side was over cooked and hard. The chicken 12 PERi-PERi Wings were inconsistent with some being overcooked and some being fine. They also seem smaller than what I have gotten from years ago. The garlic bread was delicious."
"I recently door dashed at Nando’s Peri Peri for a team lunch at work, and I have to say, it was a disappointing experience. I ordered the chicken thighs, but what I received was far from satisfying. The “thighs” were so small they barely qualified as actual chicken thighs—more like overgrown chicken nuggets. On top of that, the chicken was extremely dry. I spent $14.19 for essentially three tiny pieces of what I’d barely call chicken, which left me feeling shortchanged and unsatisfied.
I usually budget $17 per person for work lunches, and this meal didn’t even come close to meeting that expectation. It was such a letdown that I couldn’t even get a full meal out of it. I won’t be ordering any time soon."

"Generous portions, but the suya misses the mark on authenticity. While you get a lot of food for the price, the suya unfortunately doesn't taste like real suya. It completely lacks that signature smoky, charred grill flavor, and it doesn't even look like it ever touched a grill. On the bright side, the plantains were a 10/10—perfectly cooked. Just be aware that their stock picture is highly misleading; it looks like you get two side orders, but you actually only get one."

More bones than meat but overall good flavor. The Moi Moi first time trying and it was delicious more spice than the Egusi which I liked. The plantains were delicious as well. I would order again just not so late."

I love being able to return to a place I’ve enjoyed for so many years and know I’m going to get a delicious meal. If you love Jamaican food, Negril is absolutely worth a visit!"

The beef suya, suya rice, plantain, corn salsa and the sauce were 10/10!!!! I absolutely have nothing else to say except the fact that I will be ordering this again multiple times during lunch time!"
"The fried plantain was absolutely delicious and the cucumber salad is excellent. This is my second time ordering from this establishment and the first time I ordered the rice noodles with double lamb and fried plantain, with the cucumber salad and suya rice. Everything was delicious and wonderfully seasoned. My only complaint is that I attempted this time to order the rice noodles again and instead of getting the noodles, I got rice with a double lamb, and not rice noodles with double lamb. But the food was still excellent and I would highly recommend the rice with double lamb."

"This is the only consistent jamaican food I've experienced. Always a hit and never a miss. The Ackee & Saltfish is fresh and doesnt have the canned taste whether they use it or not. The portions are always plentiful with anything i order, , and the patties are fresh unlike many places I've tried that seem heated up from another day. I love the Beef and cheese Patty . It's a little out the way for me but worth it. "
"Plenty of food for sure. The chicken was tender. I just did not like the taste of Curry Chicken, too bitter like maybe too much allspice or tumeric? The Cabbage mix was more like coleslaw style which I was not expecting. Overall a good value, just not my preference. Also wish these places would throw in a slice of bread or rotti."

"This was my first order and everything was perfect. I am Nigerian so a little weary with African restaurants, but I finished my okra soup and pounded yam in about 5 minutes; this was authentic! The okra was delicious (made just like my dad's). Saved the jollof for later, but I took a bite and that was made very good as well. "
"The plaintain was dry and there was only 6 in the entire container, meaning i paid over a dollar for each plaintain. The Tilapia Fresh Fish (1 pc) that i received was better. The stew was slightly a bit too salty but the tilapia was cooked well and was sizable and fit the price."

"This is my first time trying African Cuisine and I will say 10/10 recommend!!
I’m so glad I chose Juneteenth to try African food!
The Ogbono is so good! It is very spicy, idk if it comes that way. I will try to get regular next time. I thought it was completely vegetable, I had beef or stew meat - it was tender.
The pounded yam goes well with it, it reminds me of a ball of instant mashed potatoes. It helps with the spice.
The Moi-Moi is good! I might eat it for breakfast. The texture is smooth and solid. Its similar to tamale.
The Suya was a little tough. The purple sliced onions were really good and spicy as well.
The meat pie was good! I got chicken, it was flavorful. I was expecting the chicken to have more juice to it.
Overall each item was full of flavor and spices. I will reorder this again along with a dessert!! I think this is a great place for a first timer! If you have never tried African cuisine, be open minded and give it a try!"

"Ohmy goodness. I was staying at a hotel and got from the airport really late and was starving. This food was excellent. I LOVED the Quarter Chicken even though I asked for white and got dark it was phenomenal- juicy and extremely flavorful. That Cilantro Rice was EVERYTHING. the House Salad was outstanding. I also loved rhe sauces. Highly recommend it. Thanks so much from this hungry traveler. If you want a home-like dinner that taste like your grandma made it. go here. "
"The food is definitely delicious and flavorful, but the portions are ridiculous. I paid $16 for the smallest piece of chicken I've seen in my life. I don't know how that was a quarter chicken and then they gave me the wrong sauces."

"I will always continue to order from this location. They follow order notes perfectly. The taste of all of their food is delicious!! The Quarter White Chicken is always well seasoned and juicy. Everything is so fresh! Today was my first time trying the Carne Asada and I was blown away!! The mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese are well made. I read reviews regarding the "soupiness" etc. But all it needs is a little salt and pepper, then it's perfect! I actually like my Mac and cheese the way it is prepared at this location. I have ZERO COMPLAINTS!! Thank you Super RICO!!! My family loves your food!!"

"I don't often write reviews but this was disappointing. Quantity and quality seemed off. We spent almost $100 and tibs were salty, dry and veggies combo also felt like it was lacking the typical dynamic flavor that makes ethiopian food so good and we were so excited for it! Quantities were much smaller compared to other restaurants we visit. Our in-person visit was better than takeout but both were long waits. We are huge ethiopian fans and this was disappointing."
