"Okra Soup proportion is too small for the amount that they are asking for the cost

have complained about the small

"The plaintain was dry and there was only 6 in the entire container, meaning i paid over a dollar for each plaintain. The Tilapia Fresh Fish (1 pc) that i received was better. The stew was slightly a bit too salty but the tilapia was cooked well and was sizable and fit the price."

"This is my first time trying African Cuisine and I will say 10/10 recommend!!
I’m so glad I chose Juneteenth to try African food!
The Ogbono is so good! It is very spicy, idk if it comes that way. I will try to get regular next time. I thought it was completely vegetable, I had beef or stew meat - it was tender.
The pounded yam goes well with it, it reminds me of a ball of instant mashed potatoes. It helps with the spice.
The Moi-Moi is good! I might eat it for breakfast. The texture is smooth and solid. Its similar to tamale.
The Suya was a little tough. The purple sliced onions were really good and spicy as well.
The meat pie was good! I got chicken, it was flavorful. I was expecting the chicken to have more juice to it.
Overall each item was full of flavor and spices. I will reorder this again along with a dessert!! I think this is a great place for a first timer! If you have never tried African cuisine, be open minded and give it a try!"

"I will always continue to order from this location. They follow order notes perfectly. The taste of all of their food is delicious!! The Quarter White Chicken is always well seasoned and juicy. Everything is so fresh! Today was my first time trying the Carne Asada and I was blown away!! The mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese are well made. I read reviews regarding the "soupiness" etc. But all it needs is a little salt and pepper, then it's perfect! I actually like my Mac and cheese the way it is prepared at this location. I have ZERO COMPLAINTS!! Thank you Super RICO!!! My family loves your food!!"
"Their food is so good. The restaurant is spotless, and the staff is friendly. The chicken is flavorful, the Yucca Fries are fluffy, the steak The Quesadilla is full of meat and cheese...but the star of the show for me are those Brussel Sprouts & Carrots! They have me in a chokehold. I am still working my way through the menu, but everything I have had so far keeps me coming back."

"Best assortment for an Ethiopian vegetables combo platter I have come across to date -- 10 different items! I thought it was a great value!"
"They should consider removing Goden Tibs from the menu. Got a HUGE bone with barely any meat on it, only disgusting fat, unseasoned, burnt and just a mess! And I've had better Fasolia for the price and size. I've had their Derek Tibs before and although never consistent (sometimes it has tomatoes sometimes not), that one was good. Hence the 4 stars, their saving grace. And I love that they have American Injera by the bag."

"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."

"I ordered a salad they didn't put any lettuce in it, I paid for extra chicken they barely put any chicken let alone extra chicken. The salad dressing that I ordered came with less than a quarter of it left in the cup but there was no spill in the bag so I can only assume that it left the restaurant that way. The large chips that I ordered were not large and they were so stale and rubbery I could barely bite them. I am very disappointed. I ordered it for myself since I am working late and this is what I got."
"I haven’t had Chipotle in years, and today I decided to order a Burrito Bowl. Unfortunately, I found a large piece of onion peel in my food, which was disappointing. This location also seems to serve noticeably smaller portions compared to others I’ve visited."

The veggie Ethiopian Combination Platter has 8 varieties (gomen, fasolia, key sir, azifa, misir, kik, shiro and shiro) and everything was delicious. The Awaze Tibs was out of thia world good yummy! You can tell there is some serious craft behind the awaze sauce. Thank you, Meda."
"Ethiopian Combina Platter was extremely oily, I spent 20 mins trying to dab the red colored oil out of the soggy injera. And they included only one additional injera, this was the first time I've seen one injera included in a platter. Food tasted good but made me feel super groggy after. Not terrible but won't do this again."
