    Meat Pie
    Mariam O.

    Decided to come and check this restaurant out because Connecticut doesn't face a lot of African restaurants. The restaurant was clean and not busy when we went. You have to place your order in through the QR code/online so I would suggest placing your order in ahead of time if you want to dine in and don't want to wait long. We had meat pies and puff puff as our appetizers. I loved how the meat pie was not dry and flavorful. For our entrees, I had the fried rice and my friend had the jollof rice. Both of us enjoyed and will definitely be back to try more of the menu!

    Okay so as a West African that eats Nigerian and French West African food all the time, I'm always…read morevery skeptical to try West African restaurants because I worry the flavors will be Americanized. I heard so many amazing things about Heritage Spice so I absolutely had to check it out! Also I friend of mine recently catered from Heritage Spice and the food was delicious (I loved the jolllof. It had the perfect smoky party Jollof flavor). I'll start off by saying the menu items are pricey and the prices nearly turned me away...but the food was INCREDIBLE! I seldomly come across a Nigerian restaurant that fully hits the mark on flavors and keeps everything true to the culture. I tried the egusi soup with goat meat and fufu. The stew had a generous amount of goat meat and the egusi tasted very fresh. There was a good level of heat without it being overly spicy. The spices in the stew reminded me of my grandmas home cooking. Lastly, the fufu itself was soft and tasted very fresh as well. The egusi stew truly hit the spot and was the highlight of my work week. Overall 8.5/10 for the egusi and fufu (8/10 for the jollof I tried at a catered event and 10/10 for the puff puff I tried at a catered event). I also ordered the food on Grubhub so that most likely inflated the prices. I'm excited to try out other items on their menu! When I went to the restaurant I was hoping to also get the puff puff because I tried their puff puff at a catered event but I was told they only sell puff puff on Sundays or do pre orders for specialty items like puff puff or meat pie.

    My friend recently really wanted to dine at Lalibela Ethiopian Restaurant. I have no experience…read morewith Ethiopian cuisine, but being a Yelper who's always willing to try something new, I figured, let's go! Lalibela is located on Temple Street in New Haven. Walking inside around lunchtime, there was just one other table occupied. The waitress quickly welcomed us and brought us menus. I'll be honest, I was not sure what anything was in the menu. It is sorted into four sections: appetizers, beef, chicken and vegetarian. I went with something from the vegetarian section and hoped for the best. My friend went with the chicken and beef. Shortly after, our food was brought out to us. There's no utensils, everything is eaten by hand. We received "injeras" these are somewhat similar to crapes, primarily used for scooping and dipping into an assortment of food. You'll have to gain some experience with eating with these, if you're like me you'll pretty quickly land a stain on your garment. We received a basket full of rolled up injeras. Our plates also had a large spread out injeras. There were three scoops of traditional vegetable meals, lentils, split peas and green beans. The servings were very generous. I enjoyed the flavor profiles on all of these. They ranged from mildly spicy to a bit more spicy. Now that I have some experience at Lalibela, next time I'll be able to modify and customize my plate a bit more. I appreciate that there are so many ways to perfect your options at Lalibela, everything is very flavorful and the portions are substantial. It takes a bit of getting used to having no silverware.

    yess lalibela more than fulfilled that ethiopian food craving !!…read more big group of us came in hungry and left rolling. honorary mention to the yellow cabbage/potato side, and the saucy chicken on bone. such a cute and cozy space inside too, so much cool art on the walls, really friendly owners/staff

    Tasty ethic foods gives you the full experience of Ghanaian cuisine. Walked in and they gave me a…read moretray full of rice, pasta, fried fish, chicken, and another meat (maybe goat) that had been marinating in a brown sauce. It all came out to $12 dollars and lasted for two days. The jollof had more of a smoky/peppery flavor than Nigerian jollof I've had in the past. The standout to me was the fried chicken, l loved how the African spices enhanced the flavor. I saw a previous review where someone called this place ghetto and unsafe which isn't fair. Can it be intimidating to walk into because of its appearance and customer service? Maybe, but it's exactly like going to your favorite Jamaican, Spanish, or halal places in the area. The language barriers and cultural differences shouldn't stop you from enjoying new restaurants.

So if you see Tasty Ethnic Foods, Nhyira or Sidibe, all are referring to the same restaurant. For entree I went for jollof rice and waakye. Both of these are very flavorful and slightly spicy rices. By default it comes with chicken fry, mutton curry, boiled egg and fried fish. Portion is huge, and you get to taste everything. And everything is flavorful also. I had a couple of drinks as well. Ginger lamurgreen drink was less like a cola and more like a ginger herbal medicine. It had a strong ginger flavor, which is so strong that it burns in the throat a bit, like herbal medicines do. Housa fura millet drink was also less like a cola. It was more like a congee in a bottle which is slightly sweet. I feel it is more like a meal replacement drink.
