"I got the beef tips okra with fufu and jollof rice... I bought it last night and I've been craving it immediately this morning. I am buying it again because it's the best damn food I ever ate. I've gotten African cuisine for other shops, but they never gave me nearly as much fufu as this place gave for such a good price. "

"I'm obsessed with their flavors and how they cook it. Everything they make is delicious. They have never disappointed me. Been ordering from them for a couple of years now. The main thing I really appreciate is that they accommodate me and my low spice tolerance. Most places I order from don't do that. Fried Plantains Kidney Beans Fried Cassava Leaf"

"Family Platter For 2:Huge portions of food for the price making it great value. Everything was well seasoned and complimented each other using fresh ingredients that provide such depth of flavor. The meat was tender and juicy. The hummus was creamy complimenting the pillow texture of the pita. The other included sides were just as amazing as well! Highly recommend adding the Tabbouleh as a side salad to further increase the experience of this incredible meal. This is a great dish to be able to try a lot of the different items this place has to offer but also great for regulars as well. Will definitely order again! Baklava: Absolutely delicious with dense filling with a flaky soft texture from the layers of dough. Not sickeningly sweet but sweet enough to cap the end of a delicious meal. Huge portion for the price. Carrot Cake: One of the best I've had in the cities! The texture is on point and the frosting was amazing. Huge portion for the price. Looking forward to the next order!"
"OMG! This place is phenomenal! I ordered the Fish Plate & Somali Street Fries & trust me I was skeptical. I thought I was ordering PEPPER which seems to be the flavor of African or fusion inspired dishes or restaurants. The menu pictures can list vanilla ice cream, but it would still be PEPPER! I absolutely hate that, but to my surprise-it was one of the most delicious places I've had in the cities!!! It's a mix of African/Somali with Mediterranean and omg YUMMY! Please don't hesitate! And the portion size was HUGE! Let me emphasize HUGE!!!!! ENORMOUS! One meal could easily feed 2 people! On top of that, they placed my sauces neatly sealed on the side- in a separate bag, along with napkins, fork/spoon, a pita & hummus and a side salad! Oh and a can of ginger ale that was less than $1.50! Most places charge you the price of a 2liter for a sip! Guys HEAR ME- THIS PLACE IS FIRE! Money well spent! Fantastic job Oasis Mediterranean Grill! New Favorite ❤️❤️❤️!"

"Balanced and flavorful dishes, and generous quantities of fresh injera. Bole is the best!"
"My friend put me on to this & had to have it right away because it was SO good. I love all the vegan options that are actually extremely flavorful, full of protein. I like to put the shiro, ater kik, and miser all together in the injera little bit by bit they taste very good when put together evenly in small lines. Also loved the fasolia & tiqel gomen. Will be reccomending and reordering more often . Also very filling due to so many proteins. I appreciate the injera is fermented . Good for the gut !"

"absolutely rocked my mouth with flavors WOW -- the texture of that thinly I MEAN THIIIIIINNNNNNLY sliced Philly Steak (Full) was like someone FINALLY understood how to cook meat the perfect way, and did their damn thang -- the crispy edges? YEAH. Shaax (Somali Tea) was a random addition to my order, had no clue what to expect, turns out it's a creamy delicious chai-esque beverage, flavors are sweet n spicey. if you're a fan of gyro platters you will adore this place AND THE PRESENTATION OF FOOD IS STUNNING. made me feel like i was nourishing my body while tasting like heaven. oh by the way the Jabati is PHENOMENAL, thin, spongey, buttery way to wrap up all the food and dip in the green hot sauce. they simply don't miss y'all. "
"Food was delicious and fresh as always! Will continue to order from here (great portions and great price). First time trying Mashmash, it's a nice sweet treat and has a fun chewy texture. Reminds me of a funnel cake mixed with a pancake. The Shaax (Somali Tea) is good (I do wish that the top of the lid had been more protected with a sticker or no tamper lid, it would help with spilling during transport, but nonetheless I would order it again)."
