"Ordered before and it was consistent and delicious. Will order again."
"Ordered the birria wet burrito. Was missing guacamole, sour cream, cheese, and pico de gallo inside despite the description on the menu. Was topped with unmelted cheese and raw red onions and a little sour cream. Flavors were a bit bland and slightly sweet, no tang and barely any spice--not at all what I expected. Birria was okay but on the dry side and just tasted like shredded beef cooked in cinnamon. Burrito had black beans inside but I expected pinto or refried based on pics of other burritos on the menu, and the description didn't mention black beans. Paid over $20 for something I wouldn't have ordered at all if ingredients were described accurately. I know it's hard right now for restaurants but I do feel a little swindled :("

"This was so good! This is my second time ordering from them and I must say this is the BEST African food I have EVER tasted! 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"

"Gr8 Halal Chicken Sebi Dorho Entree served with " Ethiopian INJERA BREAD....
There were Delicious Lentils & Mustard Greens on the Side....
Have ordered from here before.
Only downside with this SPOT is dat it's very hard to reach them by Telephone !!! Especially @ The Lunch Hour.
Folks ordering via Food Delivery Apps have ' No other way to reach their Staff ' !!!
If they rectify that ' one issue ' - they have My 5 Stars !!!
Chicken was Tender & The Chicken Gravy was Delicious !!!
Hope " NO MORE PRICE HIKES " !!!!!!"
"Excellent EHIOPIAN Homemade Cuisine as Always !!!
Luckily the lady answering my call with 'standard queries ' said...'All our Meats are HALAL !!!
Except, Of Course , The PORK which they do Serve...
Injera Bread was Ample and Cooked Just Right.
Love their ' Secret Condiments in their Gravies ' !!!
Meats were well cured and well cooked !!!
Warm Hosts !!!!
Recommenf !!!!!"

"The food had amazing flavor. Oxtail was tender and a lot of jerked chicken. 30$ for three piece of oxtail is a bit much though and the long wait for the bammy was also much, about 20 minutes after my order was supposed to be done. By the time I got home the rice and peas were cold. I'll give them another chance though"

"This was my first time not only trying Filipino food, but also food from this restaurant. It was definitely a hit for me with both the Pancit Bihon w/ Chicken and Shanghai Lumpia (Chicken). Both were large, generous portions, to the point where I was not even able to finish it. I especially loved the Shanghai Lumpia (Chicken) which wwte just the right size and really smooth and easy to go down. A really tasty treat. For the Pancit Bihon w/ Chicken, while also really great, I wish it had a little more spice to it, just a little kick or something. I understand that's how it's made, so I ended up adding some crushed trees pepper to it (that I happed to have). I may use another hot sauce next time just to help bring out more of the flavor. But overall, I really liked it and will be ordering again from here with no hesitation!"
"Filipino food here is consistently good! Tender meat in stews. Sinigang is flavored nicely - not too salty or sour with the tamarind. Delivered steaming and hot. Bilo bilo is excellent! One of our favorite Filipino restaurants in the East Bay!"

"Fulfilling a craving of authentic Jamaican food. I could only really compare the dishes to a friend's Jamaican food and restaurants we tried in Florida. 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!"

"LISTEN UP PEOPLE LOOKING FOR REAL CARIBBEAN OR JAMAICAN FOOD. I'm from NYC and have truly been suffering without any jamaican food even close to being correct in the Bay. This place is the closest that delivers. Period. I have tried them all. The Oxtail Stew tastes the closest to correct and stew has the closest to the right consistency that you will find in this region (on a delivery app, at least). Is it perfect? No. Could it be better? Yes. But it is so much better than any other oxtail I've had in the Bay. It's generally trimmed correctly, tender, doesnt have a weird gamey taste, and the stew isnt broth or oily as fuck or filled with vegetables for no reason. For whatever reason, they serve the oxtail with white rice generally and they dont sell rice and peas as a side. Today, i received rice and peas with the oxtail but that's generally not the case even though i never check the white rice option. The Jerk Chicken Rice & Beans is okay but I generally get that mainly so I can have the oxtail with rice and peas like its supposed to be. The patty is good and flaky!! Anyway, def try them out!!"
"I ordered the Oxtail Stew and Ginger Beer. Not only was the stew missing any heat, it was also missing the flavor. It was easy to eat the meat off the bone because there wasn't much meat there. The plantain wasn't dry, but it wasn't sweet either. Thankfully, the rice tasted like rice. Ginger Beer had less kick than a dead donkey. And who is Theodore P? And why is it labeled a "Lemon Sherbet"?"

"The Gaucho Chopped Salad is one of my favorite salads to order. It has so much flavor and comes with a delicious dressing. Add chicken for an even heartier meal.
The Chicken Salsa Verde empanadas are tasty and the perfect size with a nice, flaky crust. The Peach Cobbler Empanada (Seasonal) is so yummy and a perfect dessert bite. "
"This place is black female owned so I was intrigued and hungry lol. The shop is nice and quaint with a good amount of seating. When I arrived the employees were nice and courteous, I pre ordered but wanted to add a dessert to my order and was helped by the owner, who helped me decide what dessert to treat myself to. Now down to the food I ordered three empanadas ( mushroom, chicken, and beef), plantain chips, and for dessert a caramel cookie covered in rich chocolate. The empanadas were all nicely sized, each covered in the a flaky pie crust like shell accompanied with this yummy chili like sauce. All were amazing, spiced and cooked with big flavors, the chips were so crispy with a hint of salt( you could tell they were fresh and made in house), lastly that cookie was so rich and deliciously indulgent. I was extremely pleased and so happy they have opened locally, I will be back and highly recommend"
