"The steak and plantain taste good. The jollof tastes kinda stale today. But usually, the jollof is good. The restaurant is good. Some items can be hit or miss depending on the day tho."
"Generous portions, but the suya misses the mark on authenticity. While you get a lot of food for the price, the suya unfortunately doesn't taste like real suya. 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. Just be aware that their stock picture is highly misleading; it looks like you get two side orders, but you actually only get one."

"The Eru was absolutely good and the most the way the Gari foufou is made wad excellent not hard like stone as you would find in certain place in West Africa. Bravo to that magic cook who did this successfully
.
I would have liked the Eru with fish and shrimp.
I liked the chicken but to have the Eru with mixed chicken, smoked fish and shrimp with crab added will give the Eru a very good perfume as we have in Togo and Benin .
I have really enjoyed my food one order served two meals. Good value for money and it's healthy.
Can you have the Eru done with peanut oil instead ok palm.
Thank you for this comfort food so well anticipated today.
Best regards"
"I ordered the same thing two days in a row. I don't like that their meals are inconsistent. The only thing consistent was the rice. The second time I ordered I didn't get any plantains, the chicken in the Signature Chicken Meal was smaller and hard. The Sausage Rolls was hard as a rock. I couldn't even dig my nails into it"

Oh, what did I eat, you wonder? The Dinich Wot (Potato Stew) I had never seen or heard of before so naturally, it was a must! Nicely spiced, saucy stew! That was had with a side of Ater Kik/ mild yellow split peas and the 'regular' injera served in America .... My dining partner and I shared most everything including my Fosolia with a side of Kay Misir -- spicy red lentils -- and the authentic Ethiopian injera (the original teff rather than teff mixed with wheat -- thinner, more sour-tasting, with a totally different long-term bodily effect!) -- and a delicious, crispy lentil sambusa for to end!

I'm a little let down because I was expecting the curry chicken to have a lot more meat in the food container that it was in but the flavor of the chicken juices is so wonderful that I can already tell I'll be returning soon . However I'm sure the oxtails and goat plate will be liked and taste excellent too . I have no serious about the Caribbean meal it's amazing and all of my drinks came with the order . The cream soda in particular is so good that it may really make me get five of those and I was really pleased with every dish that was prepared and served so I'll be ordering five more of those cream soda without adding a dinner I'm going to be reheating some more meals later because I'm so full right now . Tropicana and the Caribbean grill will be my two favorite restaurants . I'll place separate orders for two meals and beverages from each of them so please don't go out of business I will always be there to support your company "

I was able to save a little more than half a cup of the spicy rice to use for another meal (since it's packed with rice), and I finished the rest of the bowl.

"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 also enjoy that I can select my favorite brand or light/dark Teff injera here!
As a wheat-allergic diner, Dama is an amazing place to enjoy Ethiopian cuisine without worrying that someone will make a mistake and I will have a horrible reaction. The staff is very careful about using only Gluten-Free injera in our orders, so we have loved this spot for all the years since we first discovered it. The staff are all warm, friendly, and conscientious people as well."

"Veggie combo was delicious and plentiful, enough for two meals. Lots of great variety. Especially love the red lentils. Relatively mild spice but very flavorful. "
"This was my first time trying Ethiopian food. My husband (who had tried it once before) and I got the Meat Sampler #1 with split peas and collard greens (we were able to specify which veggie sides we wanted in the special instructions). Both meats were very tender and everything was perfectly spiced! Had I known that the entree would come wrapped in injera - a spongy bread that's foldable like a tortilla but thicker, and thinner than naan - I wouldn't have paid $2.49 to add on additional injera. We will definitely be ordering from Ahadu again."
