"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 "

"This was my first order and everything was perfect. I am Nigerian so a little weary with African restaurants, but I finished my okra soup and pounded yam in about 5 minutes; this was authentic! The okra was delicious (made just like my dad's). Saved the jollof for later, but I took a bite and that was made very good as well. "
"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."

"The food was okay... the Fried Red Snapper w/ Veggies was much smaller than expected & the "veggies" that came with the fish was just raw onions & green peppers. It wasn't worth $20.

I prefer less meat . $19 for small soup in a container :( . Did not taste like regular spicy pepper soup. Was a little watery.
Moin Moin :was hot but okay, I notice some fish in it and it makes it not very appetizing to eat without worrying about swallowing some.

.
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.

"EVERYTHING WAS COLD AND NASTY WHEN IT ARRIVED... My order was ready when the Dasher got there so, my food sat for an hour before a Dasher was assigned to my order. This place is selling FAKE AFRICAN DISHES!!!!!!! I ordered Pounded Yam with Egusi and it was awful. The pounded yam was mashed potatoes rolled into a ball and the bowl of spinach was NOT EGUSI. My Jallof rice is mushy.. Also ordered the "Jumbo Shrimp" for $4.99 and they are NOT jumbo. The shrimp option has no description, so I was given Frozen Coconut Shrimp that were cooked in bad grease. I'm so pissed. I spent $56 and could not eat the food. I feel like I was robbed of my money and Doordash acts like there is no understanding of what's going on.

"This is my first time ordering here and I will be back! The Cassava Leaf is absolutely amazing! So flavorful and not dry. Best that I've had in the area."
"They didn't provide no pepper sauce , the soya was tasteless , fish has no seasoning , I had to wait a whole hour for this food and I'm very disappointed . I will never order again 114 dollars wasted ."
Cassava Leaf
Palava Sauce is a beloved Liberian dish known for its rich flavor, leafy texture, and deep cultural roots. Made with jute leaves (known locally as "Palava" or "Plasas"), this dish has a naturally thick and slightly slimy texture—similar to okra—that’s perfect for scooping with rice or fufu. It’s cooked with red palm oil, onions, hot peppers, and a blend of traditional seasonings, often combined with meats like smoked fish, beef, or dried shrimp to add bold, savory depth. Palava Sauce is earthy, spicy, and deeply nourishing—a true Liberian comfort food that brings warmth and heritage to the table.

"Quick order completion and delivery. Not many local Ethiopian spots offer meat & veggie combination platter (for delivery) and this is perfect when you're craving a bit of everything. The price & portion size of the Combination Platter 1 match with consideration of current food prices. Nothing was too spicy (could have been more but I get that would take it out of a general standard) or bland. Warmth @ arrival was decent for food variety. Would order again!"
"I love their dullet so much!!! The spices the portion and the kibe it just so PERFECT! but the other day I ordered Doro Wot wet and it didn't taste good. I wouldn't order it again. It was too spicy and didn't have a true doro wet taste. Almost no chicken on it. I will just continue ordering Dulet from this store. "

"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."

"Real African food with Real Pepper! I love it! Their Jollof Rice is perfect and their Pepper Soup is wonderful! Don't change!"
"The food was just ok in my opinion they are pretty generous with their portions.. at least with rice but the meat inside the stew was hard to chew it was really tough! They give you the option of 3 different meats but they give you one small piece of beef that's hard one piece of tripe that's super tough and two tough pieces of chicken and all the pieces are super small. I gave them a chance because they have reasonable prices but the quality is not good. I definitely will not order from them again"

"The Gus and fufu tasted fresh and well seasoned!! It was the best I ever had. The portions are perfect for fulfillment. The suya chicken over rice was delicious and perfect in every way paired well with the corn salad!!"
"I dined here for the first time last night, ordered the Suya Chicken over rice, and it was *phenomenal*!!
It was so good that I just ordered it again with a side of Plantain for pickup (if you like plantain with crunchy edges, then you're in luck!).
The corn salad goes perfectly and portion size is very generous. The quality of ingredients is amazing- and I love that I can see everything is hand chopped and made with love - nothing coming out of a bag or pre-prepared here.
A hidden gem that should not be hidden ! Go!"
