    I came during lunch hours and it was empty which was great because I was the only one being served. First time trying Eritrean food. I think I love it more than Ethiopian cuisine! Hats off to the chef and the family for creating Adulis. Great smells of herbs, spices, & incense as you enter, with dim lighting setting the mood, & enjoyable music. The veggie platter filled me up and highly suggest sharing with others because it is plentiful. You're served with lots of injera so it's hard to run out but they'll provide more if needed! So many different flavor profiles and combinations that left me feeling beyond satisfied. The presentation of the food is so intentional and colorful. I hope more and more people find out about this place because it is AMAZING! The owner was such a lovely woman and I am excited to return with my friends & family!

    I just pointed and asked for "whatever you want to give me."

    Fire!!! Excellent. I see two moms in the kitchen..... Absolutely spot on. I was stuffed and I still couldn't stop stuffing my face

    Outstanding customer service and spectacular food. We had veggie sampler and lamb awaze, loved the red tea as well! As you can see, we loved it lol

    This place was is such a hidden gem. This is a small family owned restaurant and the family took care of us. They were so sweet and amazing. The food was incredible! Check this place out if you want to try something new!

    Adulis is a small mom/pop shop. The food and the service were amazing! The staff are so friendly, very attentive/recommending us good dishes to try. I highly recommend Awaze Tibs and Chicken/Rice. The dishes are full of favors.

    Fantastic food and service! Awaze tibs were delicious and definitely will get again. Very friendly and makes really great Eritrean bread.

I ate at Norigami Tuesday night and it was great as were the cocktails served up at the nextdoor bar called Hidden Bar. On Tuesday, I tried the Thai Chili Ginger Margarita ($13) and it was great, complete with a hunk of candied ginger which I "gingerly" consumed throughout my drink experience...see what I did there? Next, I had the Three Dots and a Daiquiri ($13) with Rum, Lime, Velvet Falernum, All Spice and Pineapple and it was very similar to one of my favorite tiki drinks, the Three Dots and a Dash, complete with 3 luxardo cherries. To finish, I had the absolutely incredible Golden Laurel ($16) with Gin, Italicus Bergamot, House Greek Botanical Bitters and Sea Salt. It is equally beautiful served with a clear bay leaf and delicious. Last night, I was guided by the friendly bartender to try the Et Tu Banana" ($15) with Banana Bourbon, Spiced Pear, Creme de Banane, Campari and Citric Acid. I was a little worried about the cocktail being overly banana-y but it wasn't at all. It was a fantastic drink. For my last call, he recommended the Left Hand ($13) with Bourbon, Campari, Sweet Vermouth and Chocolate Bitters. Again, fantastic. Both nights, the bartenders and drinks were fantastic. Ambiance is nice with moody lighting. They even have a bidet toilet seat in the bathroom! Hidden Bar is a "hidden" gem, for sure. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

They even have a selfie ring light on the wall, which is such a fun touch for pictures (because if you didn't take pics, did you even go??) Now--fair warning--we went on a Friday night and it was PACKED. We were lucky enough to find seats, but it was so crowded we could barely talk without yelling, and we were basically shoulder-to-shoulder with the people around us Other than that, it's a really nice spot to grab drinks, hang out with friends, and get some cute content. Would I go again? Yes... just maybe not on a Friday night

You can see their happy hour menu on their website. Greg (the bartender) is the absolute best! It was like he read my mind and brought me a drink right when I was going to ask for one on multiple occasions. This place is so spacious with plenty of seating! There's even the "Roxy Room" upstairs which you can rent out for any private events. For the food, you order at one of the food stands that you like and receive a text when it's ready to get picked up. I was so torn inbetween all the options that were presented to me, but decided to go with Blk Mkt Birria. Their birria tacos were great! There was something slightly spicy about them (maybe the tortilla since it was a literal red color?) so if you are SUPER sensitive to spice I wouldnt order these. They did have limited edition Birria Tamales which I just HAD to try. Honestly they were just a tad bit dry on their own but drenching it in the Birria consommé (which is what the consommé was meant for) it was great! I need to come back here to try all the other food vendors! I already know the bar is a vibe so I gotta see if each genre of food will have my mind blown :) Next time I come, I do wanna try Mad Dogs, the Pita-Ria, Seoulside, Bird Haus, or Cvche. But I only have one stomach so I think it'll take multiple times coming here to try all the food I want, but it's ok it's totally worth!

It comes in 3s so plenty of food. Also ordered a side of guacamole. I was stuffed by the end. Did not have room of dessert. Would go back to try the other food stalls.

    I've ordered from Paparruchos once before and recently decided to give it another try after a…read moreserious hankering for Mexican food. I didn't have a car and this place is conveniently across the street, so it became the default option. I remembered my first experience wasn't great, but I couldn't recall exactly why--this second visit quickly reminded me. When I ordered over the phone, I was a little taken aback to learn they don't use traditional Mexican white cheeses like Oaxaca or queso fresco--only mozzarella. That honestly stumped me, and the woman on the phone could probably tell by my pause. The tacos themselves were good, but very small. They also came with only one corn tortilla instead of the usual double tortilla you'd expect from street tacos. On top of that, the order was five tacos instead of the more common six for around the same price point ($14.99), which seems to be a growing trend but still feels disappointing. There were no complimentary chips and salsa, so I had to order those separately. The upside is that the salsa selection was actually pretty good. I also ordered fries, not realizing they were $7. While the portion was decent, they definitely didn't feel like a $7 side--more in the $4-$5 range. Overall, the tacos did satisfy my craving, but not enough to make this a go-to spot. Paparucho will likely remain a last-resort option for me when I'm craving Mexican food and don't have many other choices nearby.

My server Yonn? was so pleasant and even recommended some things for me to try. Now everyone knows i am a soup head. They had the best chicken soup which comes with rice, carrots and potatoes. I also tried the buffalo wings which had a lovely kick to them. When i came back the 2nd time i ordered the same thing. Lol and i also got a mango margarita the first visit and a strawberry the second time. I would definitely recommend and make sure to ask for Yolien P! He was the best!

The service was attentive, helpful, and respectful. I am not certain, but I am confident that the manager was walking around often. It was nice to see! One request, if I may: with a name like Ducky McShweeney's, you MUST have some merch: t-shirts, shot glasses, pint glasses, etc. I would've walked out with something, for sure!

I stopped in on a Friday evening for a night cap. The bar is a pretty decent size and they have their own parking lot.

They also have arcade games including Skee Ball and Pop-A-Shot. The menu had beer, wine, and cider, but they do have a full bar. I didn't see any specialty cocktails on the menu so I just asked the bartender, Marc to make me a gin based cocktail. Marc came up with his version of a Corpse Reviver. It had a tart, yet fruity twist to it. I can't recall all of the ingredients he used, but I liked it. I also had a Gimlet which was really good. Marc informed me about The Railyard shot special. Any time a train rolls by, you can purchase a vodka based shot for $2. I'm not much of a shot person, but I went ahead and ordered a White Tea shot. It was really good.

The steak was tender and the dressing was light and spicy. I decided to get dessert and I chose the Toffee Pudding. It was AMAZING! The pudding was moist and not overly sweet to me. I would recommend Moxies for girls night and date night. The service, food, and atmosphere are definitely a reason to come back.
