"The Fufu With Fresh Fish Egusi Is Delicious! It Was My 1st Time Eating From Here, Hands Down Food, They Were Quick, Easy, I Made A Special Request &' They Did Exactly How I Wanted My Food. The Fish Was VERY Moist, Fresh And Flavorful"
"My Okra tasted soapy. The fufu and egusi was amazing though! I also asked for fried fish but it was fresh fish instead. Portions need to be better for the amount being paid. I spent $70 for little food. Other than that, egusi is the best on the menu. "

"The amala itself was soft and smooth. The stew lacked flavor or spice, there was barely any protein and the gbegiri was quite grainy. And there was barely any stew in that bowl.

"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."

"What a treat. I wasn't sure how well Ethiopian food was going to pack and travel but it arrived in perfect shape. The collection of vegetarian dishes was superb. Spicy but not overwhelmingly so. The Tekil Gomen and Shiro Wat are two of my favorites but their version of Kayser -- the rich, mineral-laden beet dish, was incredible. Just delicious. It was served on injera, as it would be in a restaurant, with several more rounds of the flat bread folded over the top to soak up any sauce that spilled over in transit. Ed I definitely did not need the extra side of injera I ordered. This meal would have fed 2-3 hungry people. There is a smaller sampler for one but I wanted to taste everything. So glad I did. Will definitely order again!! "
"Family Special was delicious, especially the beet dish. Definitely a hearty two meals' worth of food. The Sambusa was tasty as well. The pastry was doughier rather than crispy which was different than most others in the area."

"The awaze tibs are always amazing--beautifully spiced and tender, and the injera bread that comes with it is perfection! Not too too sour, just right! One thing I noticed--sometimes the tibs comes with veggies on the side, sometimes not, and occasionally the portion size is variable. But, each time I've been full and satisfied! My go-to spot for delicious awaze tibs!!"

"The only complaint is that they forgot the side of sauce for the Lentils Sambusa. Still tasty enough to enjoy though! I love that I am able to select my preferred veggies for the Vegetarian Combinations (6 Veggies)! So so so yummy! "

"Quick order completion and delivery. Not many local Ethiopian spots offer meat & veggie combination platter (for delivery) and this is perfect when you're craving a bit of everything. The price & portion size of the Combination Platter 1 match with consideration of current food prices. Nothing was too spicy (could have been more but I get that would take it out of a general standard) or bland. Warmth @ arrival was decent for food variety. Would order again!"
"I love their dullet so much!!! The spices the portion and the kibe it just so PERFECT! but the other day I ordered Doro Wot wet and it didn't taste good. I wouldn't order it again. It was too spicy and didn't have a true doro wet taste. Almost no chicken on it. I will just continue ordering Dulet from this store. "

"Noodles & Company's Pad Thai exudes a harmonious blend of flavors, with its vibrant mix of rice noodles, succulent shrimp or tofu, crunchy peanuts, and fresh cilantro, all bathed in a tangy-sweet sauce that tantalizes the taste buds. Each bite delivers a perfect balance of savory, sweet, and umami notes, making it a delightful choice for both Thai cuisine enthusiasts and newcomers alike. On the other hand, their Gouda tortellini pasta offers a comforting indulgence with its tender cheese-filled tortellini enveloped in a creamy, rich Gouda cheese sauce. Every forkful reveals layers of cheesy goodness complemented by hints of nutty undertones, creating a comforting and satisfying dining experience. Overall, both dishes showcase Noodles & Company's commitment to quality ingredients and expert flavor combinations, making it a must-visit destination for those seeking a flavorful journey through global cuisines."
"The Cajun Shrimp Fettuccine was terrible. It was bland and dry with very little sauce and only had 3 shrimp in it. The Japanese Pan Noodleswas also dry and bland. Very disappointed because this isn't the quality I expect from Noodles and Company."

"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."

"My husband and I were in the area for the weekend and were hoping to get some delicious Peruvian food. This place did not disappoint. The steak tacos were delicious as well as chicken combo."
"Plantain was fire, but the chicken was supposed to be dark meat and one person got a thigh with a drumstick for the 1/4 piece of chicken, while one got a wing and a breast (quite dry). Very small pieces of chicken either way. Would say this qualifies as one piece, not two. Would definitely order the plantain again, while skipping the chicken."
