Everything is excellent. Be warned though if you ask for spicy, that's exactly what you get. I love spicy, but man, they make it hot. My son likes to go there weekly and says their donuts they have are amazing. However, are they very rarely have them available I have yet to be able to try one. Other than that this place is great. Definitely worthwhile to try something unique.

I have to ask... a Trini restaurant in Lancaster?! Of course I had to see if it was actually worth…read moreit, especially as a doubles lover. WELL WELL... it exceeded every single expectation. The doubles? Exceptional. Soft, perfectly filled, and full of flavor. And the hot pepper sauce? Whew. It didn't just add heat, it elevated an already outstanding dish to another level. I ordered so many doubles I barely had room for anything else but I had to try the dhal and it was exactly what I needed. Comforting, rich, and done right. Everything tasted like true, authentic Trini food, the kind that makes you feel warm, satisfied, and already thinking about your next visit. I was literally craving it every single day for the rest of my Lancaster trip. The space itself is on the smaller side, but really cute and inviting. The service was great: friendly, welcoming, and made the whole experience complete. Whether you're new to Trini food or already know what's up, Calaloo will not disappoint. Trust me, you'll be planning your next visit before you even leave.

"It's like Chipotle, but Mediterranean food!" This is how friends and family described Cava to me…read morewhen it first opened, and it's the reason why I'm such a late convert -- Chipotles are usually dirty and their food is in the news too often associated with making people sick. Cava is nothing like that. I got a chance to try the food for a work lunch event and enjoyed the food so much that I've introduced it to my husband and daughter as one of our more health quick dinner options. I've tried a variety of proteins and topping options in the BYO bowl and have been really pleased with the food quality and variety--I love all the traditional sauces (harissa, tzatziki), and the hubs loves the crazy feta. For dressing options, I highly recommend the lemon herb tahini and tahini Caesar. The online ordering is so simple and everything is completely customizable -- the hubs and kid can nix onions from their bowls and I can add all the onion options to mine. Everyone's happy! There are reserved to-go parking spaces right at the front entrance, so it's convenient to park there, run in to the pick up rack and grab my order. In and out in less than 5 min. If you eat-in, there plenty of room and seating inside and they even have a little outdoor area out back during the warm weather months. The staff work quick, so the order line generally moves well, but you occasionally have someone who is new to the concept asking a lot of questions about options, so that takes a little more time. For the most part the staff are patient in helping people who are struggling with the menu. The one miss? The desserts. We ordered the chocolate chip brownie once to share and were surprised by how small it was-- a little bigger than an AirPod case and an inch thick. Two bites, which for one person is enough, but not really a shareable. And for the price? For a pre-packaged brownie, essentially? Not worth it. Skip the sweet stuff and stick with the bowls.

The food is unquestionably fresh; there are no mass-produced shortcuts here. I ordered the Shaky Beef with Rice (Bo Luc Lac), and it absolutely melted in my mouth. Every bite was bursting with flavor, and it was so well-seasoned that it didn't even need hoisin sauce. The ambiance is that of a cozy neighborhood café, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy an authentic, thoughtfully prepared meal. I'll definitely be back!

I had the buffet, which I was charged $14.99 for. Much better than the $18.00 someone else paid…read more However, I think it was still too much, given the variety of the dishes. Not very many things on the buffet, although all of them were hot. The restaurant was very clean, and the ambiance was good. The service was good, although the gentleman who was working didn't seem to have a lot of English, which may be a problem in the future. He was very kind and helpful though, which is a plus. I think this place has a lot of potential. They've JUST opened, and haven't ironed out the kinks yet. I will definitely be back. Suggestions to the owners: 1. You need a Meze/Combination platter (I think this is Lancaster County's first Middle Eastern restaurant, people don't know what the food is, they want to try it without committing to the whole dish.) Maybe do a "Pick 3 appetizers" for $11.99 or something. 2. The buffet was bland, don't Americanize the spices,we can handle the real seasonings, this isn't overly spicy for us. I was quite surprised to see that some of the dishes hadn't even been salted. 3. Maybe some fusion ME/American dishes? There is a place that does Shawarma fries in Chester County. Best of luck! I think you're on to something.

Everything was cooked perfectly and the rice was aromatic, the chicken was tender, and the daal had good spice and body to it. The naan was a little underwhelming (I'm not sure if it was fresh or maybe made from frozen), but it was small and a little drier than I would have hoped for. Service was good and the only other issue was one of our drinking glasses clearly wasn't clean as I could see lipstick marks on it still. The server was prompt in correcting the issue for us. No other issues and enjoyed the experience.

Nice parking facilities . Lots of space inside to sit and eat . Service was ok .. When we went it was a buffet and I'm reviewing only the buffet . Looks like they cooked for localites ... not much of spice and very little meat options . Some dishes were good . Vegetarian options were decent . Non veg did t have much options (like goat z, fish etc ).. Items are less and the rate is also less. Pricing for the buffet seemed reasonable at 14$ ! Good pricing but the taste could have been better.. it was a ok experience .. average experience ! 3:5/5
