"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."

"Ever dish is appetizing . I only finished part of the dish of curry chicken . 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 "

"Wow. I honestly had low expectations for the portion size since I ordered the meal box but it was absolutely perfect! 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. The beef suya, suya rice, plantain, corn salsa and the sauce were 10/10!!!! I absolutely have nothing else to say except the fact that I will be ordering this again multiple times during lunch time!"
"The fried plantain was absolutely delicious and the cucumber salad is excellent. This is my second time ordering from this establishment and the first time I ordered the rice noodles with double lamb and fried plantain, with the cucumber salad and suya rice. Everything was delicious and wonderfully seasoned. My only complaint is that I attempted this time to order the rice noodles again and instead of getting the noodles, I got rice with a double lamb, and not rice noodles with double lamb. But the food was still excellent and I would highly recommend the rice with double lamb."

"I Oder Doro Wot and very delicious and very testy . I hardly recommend to those people to eat it ...every time I Oder from makada I Oder this it's worth honst to God I give 100 out100 if I can more than that keep up Makda thank you "
"Honestly, I was pretty disappointed with what I got. Both the Doro Wot and Kikil had zero flavor — no seasoning, no salt, just bland. The Doro Wot tasted more like plain tomato sauce than anything else. Considering the prices, I expected much better. The quality of the food just didn’t match the cost."

"This is the only consistent jamaican food I've experienced. Always a hit and never a miss. The Ackee & Saltfish is fresh and doesnt have the canned taste whether they use it or not. The portions are always plentiful with anything i order, , and the patties are fresh unlike many places I've tried that seem heated up from another day. I love the Beef and cheese Patty . It's a little out the way for me but worth it. "
"Plenty of food for sure. The chicken was tender. I just did not like the taste of Curry Chicken, too bitter like maybe too much allspice or tumeric? The Cabbage mix was more like coleslaw style which I was not expecting. Overall a good value, just not my preference. Also wish these places would throw in a slice of bread or rotti."

"I got the Grilled Chicken Bowl with suya chicken, jollof rice and the sauce with cilantro and scallions, and it was insanely good! The rice was cooked perfectly and very flavorful, the chicken was juicy and tender, also insane flavor, that sauce, immaculate. 10/10"
"Only because I did not get the correct toppings I ordered, is why I cant give 5 stars. I really can't stand lack of attention to detail and accuracy when it comes to this industry. I also asked to have the toppings in the bowl which clearly would not have been feasible since the bowl was so small & packed tightly. The food was really good though. The lamb was savory & spicy just how I like it. Overall a good place to order this kind of cuisine and worth the price. Just wish they'd gotten my order right!"

"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!! "
"Family Special was delicious, especially the beet dish. Definitely a hearty two meals' worth of food. The Sambusa was tasty as well. The pastry was doughier rather than crispy which was different than most others in the area."

"The awaze tibs are always amazing--beautifully spiced and tender, and the injera bread that comes with it is perfection! Not too too sour, just right!
