"Eggs Blackstone was excellent. I like that they packaged the hollandaise separately so the toasted English muffin didn't get soggy! It also comes with a side of potatoes as-is!
The Grilled Potatoes weren't for me. I prefer my breakfast potatoes to be crispy/crackly with seasoning on the outside and fluffy on the inside. These were seasoned well and give a decent portion size, just not what I typically want in a breakfast potato- which is fine!
Note: give them a shot in person! Try their chicken and waffles! "

"Don't get me wrong in my prior review. My issue is only in the description on the menu and the way in which the new handlers of the restaurant as well as doordash customer service handled the situation. The chicken itself, as well as price, are delicious and reasonable. The chicken is fried, then covered in a wonderful sauce, I actually need jarred. It's tender and juicy and falls right off the bone. It beats KFC down the street. 😋 2days in a row. Worth having everybody 😉20 Stars Hands Down Easily!"

The first time I ordered I got the jollof rice, chicken, vegetables,& plantain ( which usually I won't eat) I cleaned that plate too ! It shocked me that it was a little spicy but that's ok because the flavor was very much present! Even the pounded yam ( FUFU) was good! The first place I ordered I didn't want to eat the fufu ( it wasn't bad but it wasn't like this!) & their Egusi also didn't have as my much flavor! Even my bf liked the Egusi soup and chicken! He's super picky lol. Kinda mad I shared because this was so good! I do wish I got a little more Egusi but that might just be my greedy side talking lol"

Definitely fall off the bone jerk chicken and the oxtail had great flavors! I originally ordered the white rice but they ran out. The clerk removed it from my order and asked for me to reorder the substitute I requested which was the rice and peas. But since I ordered later in the evening, DoorDash wouldn't allow me to order saying they were closed. I believe the manager Kevin said it would be on the house. So thankful for a great first experience! The rice and peas were a hit! Packed with flavor!! Anyone ordering just white rice is missing out!"

Luckily the lady answering my call with 'standard queries ' said...'All our Meats are HALAL !!!
Except, Of Course , The PORK which they do Serve...

"Asmara is our favorite restaurant we've been eating here since they opened and it's such a treat!

"They called me because they were out of one of the items, and were very nice about it. I was disappointed with the very, very small portions. I also ordered extra injera, which was stuffed into the container on top of my entree. This was my first time ordering from here, I will stick with Cafe Colucci which tastes so much better and has real portions.
