"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"
"The egusi and ayamase are delicious.
Their Beef suya cost $5 but its 3 pieces of dry meat on a stick, with no onions or suya spice. They should reconsider if this should remain on their menu or not"

"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!"

"Loved the adobo! Very different than any other adobo I've had without the hard boiled egg and with coconut milk in the broth but it was very delicious! The lechon kawali also remained quite crispy so that was a big okie! The pancit and lumpia were good."
"I really wanted to give 5 stars because I'm Filipino and want to support a Filipino establishment! But that would be dishonest. Overall, overpriced for the taste and the portion sizes. Lechon Kawali was bone dry and one-note. Doesn't tickle the palate, doesn't taste like home. Same thing with the Pancit . Dry, bland, noodles congealed together. Not moreish, not exciting. Tastes and feels like routinr
Halo Halo is the only dish they got right for us this evening, but they didn't cover it properly, so so much of it was exposed to goodness knows what.
I was wondering why a resto with a Michelin citation only got a few ratings on DD (implying fewer customers wanting to leave praise). I get it now, the dishes + price combo don't encourage repeat orders. I do hope they improve these in the near future"

"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?

VERY FRIENDLY, KIND & HELPFUL owner = GREAT service & very SPACIOUS cafe! Also, their MOCHA & LATTE are each, respectively EXCELLENT!!!"
"Ethiopian Breakfast Combo was not worth the amount for a combo breakfast given the very little portion size. The tropical smoothie, avocado toast, and the Bagel with Green Onion Cream Cheese were great. The Ethiopian Breakfast Combo and Enkulal Firfir did not have any butter at all. These dishes need kibe (authentic Ethiopian butter.)"

"I ordered the Beef Tibsy & Okra , the Shewhat Vegan Sample and the Taita (Injera) This is the best Ethiopian food I have had in a while. The food was flavorful and delicious!Good portion sizes and the food arrived hot. I highly recommend!!!"
"I really wanted this food to be tasty for the price that they charged ($25 for a veggie plate)! It was the worst Ethiopian food the I've ever eaten! The yellow lentils were soupy and hard! There was no salad! When the food arrived it was leaking out of the container! The cabbage was too crunchy! The red lentils were too salty and very soupy! Wow! That about covers it! I would not recommend this place to anyone!"

"This food was amazing! Compared to other places, I really appreciated that they didn’t skimp on the meat just because it was a salad. Everything was warm, flavorful, and super filling. I added jerk chicken, pineapple, slaw, avocado, broccoli, and sweet potatoes. I’d definitely order it again. If you’re choosing between the add-ons, I’d especially recommend the sweet potatoes or pineapple!"

"The couscous tastes very good, and I really enjoy ordering it from your restaurant. I have been a regular customer for a long time. However, recently, I noticed that the amount of broth is too small compared to the amount of couscous. There is not enough broth for all the couscous. Also, the vegetables are not fully cooked. I know traditional Algerian food very well, and the vegetables in Algerian couscous should be completely cooked and tender. Please make sure to provide enough broth and cook the vegetables properly. I really love your food and would like to continue ordering from you. Thank you so much"
"The Hummus was a dry paste with big chunks of raw garlic in it and the container wasn't sealed properly so it leaked all over the bag.
I also tried the Joojeh Sultani- the koobideh had no flavor and was greasy but the chicken was ok, it was actually tender. The rice reminded me of uncle Ben's converted rice. Will not order again."

"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!"
