"Egusi was good could've use more of a kick when it came down to the spices. I had gotten the mixed meat which next time I would just do one meat portion. More bones than meat but overall good flavor. The Moi Moi first time trying and it was delicious more spice than the Egusi which I liked. The plantains were delicious as well. I would order again just not so late."
"Even though their food is pricy, it's really worth it. Compared to other african restaurants, their food is a lot. I really like their rice and atadindin, the egusi is very tasty as well. The puff puff, meatpie...., the list is endless. Their food really gives Nigerian vibes. I keep coming back every time. I pray I don't spend my life savings on their food 😩"

"The Halloumi Cheese Side was over cooked and hard. The chicken 12 PERi-PERi Wings were inconsistent with some being overcooked and some being fine. They also seem smaller than what I have gotten from years ago. The garlic bread was delicious."
"I recently door dashed at Nando’s Peri Peri for a team lunch at work, and I have to say, it was a disappointing experience. I ordered the chicken thighs, but what I received was far from satisfying. The “thighs” were so small they barely qualified as actual chicken thighs—more like overgrown chicken nuggets. On top of that, the chicken was extremely dry. I spent $14.19 for essentially three tiny pieces of what I’d barely call chicken, which left me feeling shortchanged and unsatisfied.
I usually budget $17 per person for work lunches, and this meal didn’t even come close to meeting that expectation. It was such a letdown that I couldn’t even get a full meal out of it. I won’t be ordering any time soon."

It completely lacks that signature smoky, charred grill flavor, and it doesn't even look like it ever touched a grill. On the bright side, the plantains were a 10/10—perfectly cooked.

"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!! "

"food was great as always. lumpia arrived still crunchy and warm. my one complaint, is their order prices are significantly more than their in store prices. probably wont order from them again because of that, but if youre craving filipino food and cant get out of the house, kuya ja's is worth it! "
"We love Kuya Ja's! The Pancit is delicious, the lechón belly is so yummy, but no matter what we always get at least three orders of the empanadas and shrimp lumpia (I got tired of fighting over them, lol, there is only 2 of us). 10/10 recommend. "

"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."

"The rice was good not to spicy and not burnt. Good size portion and pricing was decent. Good food !"
"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. As someone from toronto Canada, I can name 3 spots out there with way better quality amala with bigger portions. I personally wouldn't order this again."

"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."

"Every time I have an “antojito,” a craving for mofongo, I hit up Mecho’s. I’ve had a lot of different mofongo dishes from various restaurants in the region, but Mecho’s is by far the most flavorful! And their Bandera plate always lasts for two meals. Love this spot!"
"Way too much plantains and barely any meat. I ordered the 2 meat Chicken Bandera and Goat Bandera: chicken and goat. They offered 1 chicken thigh and 2 very small pieces of meat. But I was charged for extra meat. If I hadn't of paid extra they would have given me one piece of chicken. . So they put extra plantains in my plantain so I would think it's chicken.
They're not providing as much as they used to."

"I never leave reviews. However, I was compelled to leave one this time. This may be the first time I have taken the time to write. This is perhaps one of the greatest dining experiences I've ever had on DoorDash. I've made at least 500 orders. In my life, I've had Ethiopian food all over the world. And I grew up in Strong Ethiopian communities. I have been gurshawed and have gurshawed... insofar as vegan/vegetarian -- the food at Ethiopic is out of this world, it's tastes like grandma made it but it's presented in a modern clean style... but all in all Ethiopian... I loved every single item. Perfectly seasoned, perfectly complimenting each other. I pray this place has so much success... and they gave you so much food, I'm over-full and it was so so so fresh. My colleagues thought so as well."
"Ethiopic continuously proves why it is an elite spot for Ethiopian cuisine. Having ordered from here repeatedly, the quality is remarkably consistent, but this order of Awaze Tibs was an absolute standout.
The meat was tender, perfectly seared, and rich with deep, aromatic awaze spice that delivers just the right kick. Paired with fresh injera and flavorful sides, every bite was incredible. From flavor complexity to takeaway execution, Ethiopic delivers absolute perfection every single time."

You can tell it’s made with quality ingredients and a lot of care. I also love that they use olive oil in their cooking—it gives the dish a clean, fresh taste without feeling heavy.
The portion was filling, and I appreciated that it was both healthy and packed with authentic Ethiopian flavor. I’ll definitely be ordering this again. Highly recommend if you’re looking to try something delicious and different!"
