"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 😩"

I judge Senegalese restaurants by their theibu jenn - which wasn't on the menu - but the Dibi Chicken and Macaroni and Cheese didnt disappoint!

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 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."

"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 ordered the Spicy Ethiopian Tibs from Greens N Tibs and it was so good! The flavors were amazing, with the perfect amount of spice, and everything tasted super fresh. 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!"
"Very clean, consistently prepared, and clearly cooked with care. Every dish reflects attention to detail, quality ingredients, and a genuine passion for great food. Thank you"

"I placed an order from this store yesterday. The meal was so delicious that I returned today and ordered the beef shawarma and a goat meat fried rice. It is the finest shawarma I have tasted in quite a while."
"I am sorry to say that I am disappointed in the food that I received from this restaurant, as I had such high expectations from a 4.9 rated establishment. Unfortunately, the portion sizes of both the Beef Suya and the Lamb Dibi were not worth the high prices that we paid. We especially found the Beef Suya way TOO salty and were unable to finish the small portion received. This was definitely not money well spent."

"Absolutely delicious and deserves every bit of praise, the flavor is unmatched and rivals any Awaze Tibs I've had before."
"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."

"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."
