Chuck M.

4 Stars For Father's Day, my wife graciously agreed to visit Chulla's Café, an African-inspired restaurant that had been on my must-try list for quite some time. Before relocating to Rocklin, Chulla's earned a reputation as one of the top dining destinations in the Sacramento area, so I was eager to see how it would settle into its new home. We arrived early and were greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. The staff made us feel welcome from the moment we walked through the door. The ambiance was inviting and relaxed, creating the perfect setting for a leisurely Father's Day lunch. As a nice touch, we were offered a sample of their hibiscus tea, which was refreshing, flavorful, and served complimentary. Small gestures like that go a long way in creating a memorable dining experience. Wanting to embrace the culinary adventure, I followed the hostess's recommendation and ordered the Boya Jambalaya Stew. The dish featured a medley of shrimp, cod, catfish, peas, corn, green beans, and coastal spices, served alongside rice and grilled vegetables. While it wasn't a traditional jambalaya, it delivered its own unique flavor profile. The seafood was plentiful, the spices were well-balanced, and it was both hearty and satisfying. My palate thoroughly enjoyed the experience. My wife chose the Mafisa Fish and Chips, which included two pieces of cod served with fries and slaw. It was a solid, well-prepared meal, but in hindsight, she probably should have ventured into one of Chulla's specialty dishes. The unique African-inspired menu is what sets this restaurant apart, and that's where the real food adventure seems to be. Overall, Chulla's Café is absolutely worth a visit. The owners and staff clearly put significant effort into creating a welcoming atmosphere and a distinctive dining experience. As they continue establishing themselves in their new Rocklin location, they deserve support from diners looking to try something beyond the ordinary. If you're willing to step outside your comfort zone and explore new flavors, Chulla's is a great place to start.

We stopped by Chulla's Café to support a local small business. The owners were incredibly personable and genuinely appreciative of everyone who walked through the door, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We started with the refreshing hibiscus drink, which was flavorful without being overly sweet. The jalapeño poppers were crispy on the outside with a perfectly gooey center and paired well with the dipping sauce. For our entrées, we tried a stew and the grilled chicken wrap. Both dishes were unique, well-seasoned, and made with fresh ingredients. The chicken stew was comforting with rich flavors, while the wrap was packed with grilled chicken, and fresh vegetables. If you're looking to support a local business while enjoying flavorful, thoughtfully prepared food, this spot is worth checking out.

SaBouYa Délite wrap with breakfast potatoes, Afro sauce & ketchup. A glass of hibiscus tea to round it out.

A quiet little gem in the neighborhood. Warm and welcoming owner team. Good food and hospitality. This is clearly a labor of love, and a great opportunity for us to try new flavors. We were offered samples of hibiscus tea from a 500 year old West African recipe. It's so unique; like southern sweet tea married with usually tart hibiscus and blended with what tasted to me like mulling spices. It's like nothing I've ever had before and so good. They were also attentive to our conversation. I had mentioned not liking my food super spicy while my friend does & when they brought out our dishes hers had the hot sauce side and mine came with just the Afro sauce - they just remembered. (The sauces are in the side, btw). My breakfast wrap was tasty, seasoned well, and the Afro sauce offset the sweetness of the plantain and the creamier avocado nicely. Looking forward to another visit to try some of their dinner dishes !

The food is delicious fresh with very well-balanced flavors and a distinctive presentation. It is always a delightful experience.

Firstly... they had the food displayed on the plate beautifully, I ate some before taking the photos, so did my boyfriend. Very clean inside, music was also nice touch to my lunch. Enjoyed tasty food! What we got! Calamari Afro Shawarma MaFisa Fish and chips Jalapeño poppers to go! Aloko (fried plantains) to go :) All of it was so tasty and FRESH!

Chulla's in Rocklin is open. Famous hibiscus tea so crisp and refreshing ready to go - try it you'll be back. Proprietor's on site and very friendly with good service. Very clean restaurant. Lots of patio with shade and without. Menu is breakfast items, burgers, seafood, chicken strips, stew, wraps, and salad's. We had the fish & chips and craft burger. Very satisfying. Had onion rings too - very crispy.

Burger was huge and delicious! Homemade Hibiscus tea is phenomenal! They just recently reopened in Rocklin from their North Highlands location so it was a little quiet during lunch. But service was quick. Definitely can see this place getting busy once more people know about it!

Chulla's Café recently relocated from North Highlands to The Plaza At Stanford Ranch in Rocklin, CA. They have an extensive online menu offering local and African cuisine that is absolutely fantastic. Chulla's owner, Tomba, is a very pleasant and approachable guy. We had the pleasure of meeting him and several of his family members who also work at the restaurant while we were there. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Lotsa smiles. We dropped in for lunch on a weekday. My wife had the Breakfast Burrito and I had the Crafter Burger with onion rings. Both were delicious with large portions. We also were treated to the special Hibiscus Tea that is made in house with 7 different spices. Yum. Next time you are in the area, I highly recommend Chulla's Café. They are open from 7am to 10 pm Wednesday thru Sunday, closed Monday and Tuesday. Enjoy.

Chulla's Cafe made the #3 spot on Yelp's Top 50 Places to eat in the Sacramento area for 2022! After seeing them on the list and reading some of the reviews I knew I had to try their food. As I walked in I was greeted by multiple people and welcomed with smiles. They asked me if I had been in before and after telling them it was my first time they offered me a sample of their amazing Hibiscus tea. It's unlike anything I've had before, but reminds me of a more refreshing (and complex) apple cider. On their website it's noted that the Hibiscus tea is "brewed in-house and spiced with 12 secret spices that evoke jamaica, or sorrel, drinks enjoyed by the African diaspora - yet it is truly unique to Chulla's." I ended up ordering a big cup of the Hibiscus tea and the Hungry Lion Burger. I knew I was going to have two patties on my burger, but I wasn't ready for how big they would be. The burger was huge and had the two patties, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, onion rings, slices bacon, cheddar and Swiss cheeses. It was seasoned perfectly and cooked the way you prefer (I chose medium rare). It also came with some amazing house made fries. I ended up taking more than half my burger home and they refilled my tea before I left, which I thought was super generous of them! After visiting and meeting the amazing owners and staff and trying the food it's clear why so many Yelpers have rated Chulla's five stars! I also heard they're looking to open two more locations, and one of them will be in downtown. I'm excited to have a spot closer to me to get this delicious food, but I'll definitely be back to this original location again soon.

Wow! This place is levels above anything else around here. This place seems like it would be in downtown or Folsom. The owners are really personable and ask you if you are enjoying the meal. The Chef is also really nice and explains the menu. The dish I just ate was the meaning of fusion! I had a beef shawarma like burrito with avocado and fries. Everything was fresh! The flavors mixed amazingly together. I really hope this place can make it through this COVID! read more

WOW this place is amazing. I think its African food and American too. I never leave reviews but I had to say something about this place. It's super clean inside and looks like Chipotle style interior. And food just amazing, I ordered Tanjier soup with Whole Red Snapper, expecting soup in the bowl but it was all ingredients separate (grilled veggies, whole fish) on the plate with soup paste on the side and you mix it yourself, LOVE IT. What a great idea. Cook is super nice and came out to say hi to everyone, it was nice. read more

I was in town on business with a small group. I found this place Yelp. We were not disappointed! I had the Chulla Signature Omelet and pancakes. It was one of the best omelets I ever had at a restaurant. The side sauces were delicious, just the right amount of spice. The breakfast potatoes were perfect- crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. We all loved our breakfasts. The owner/chef, who is from Guinee West Africa, came out to greet us and chatted with us for a few minutes. He even let us sample his spinach dish. What was really impressive is that he made the hibiscus, also called sorrel or Agua de jamaica in Spanish, juice from real hibiscus! (I saw it cooking in a big pot.) We were so impressed with the food that came back later that day and ordered take out. I had the Okra Stew with chicken. Again, did not disappoint! I wish he had a place in LA. Highly recommend! read more

I've had AfroEatz bookmarked for a while since there's not that many African restaurants in Sacramento, so I was super excited to finally try it out. It's a bit more on the pricy side, but the portions here are huge! Don't let the pictures fool you. My friend and I both ordered the egusi soup and fufu, but we definitely could have shared! The egusi soup was rich and hearty. It's a thicker type of soup, which goes well with the fufu. The fufu's texture was a nice consistency and texture. They both definitely go well together. I would say the leftovers don't taste as good as it being fresh, so try to eat it all there! My fiancé got the jollof rice with chicken wings. The chicken and rice were cooked well and properly seasoned. The staff here is also super friendly. They explain how to eat the dishes if you don't know how to and come check up on you!

I felt like this one was a little too strong for my palette. I think the fufu is flavorless to help with experience the flavor of the soup, which was a surprise to me. I also got the jollof rice plate and I loved this! The combo of the plantain, rice and chicken was so good! We did come here twice, once because most things were sold out during dinner time so we came closer to lunch. Not too much instruction on where to sit - couldn't really tell if it was open seating or we needed to be sat - so we just picked a table. There is a bar inside which is cool and it is pretty spacious.

The menu offers a great variety of traditional dishes, including meat and vegetarian options, making it a fun place to discover something new. I ordered the Mini Combo with beef, lentils, and collard greens, and it was delicious! The beef was tender and coated in a rich, flavorful sauce with peppers and aromatic spices. The lentils were hearty, savory, and perfectly seasoned, while the collard greens added a nice balance to the meal. Each dish had its own distinct flavor, and together they made for a satisfying combination. The meal came with injera, a traditional Ethiopian flatbread with a soft, spongy texture and slightly tangy flavor. It's unlike your typical bread and pairs wonderfully with the different stews and vegetables. The portions were generous, and the colorful presentation made the meal even more inviting. Rex Tip: If you're new to Ethiopian cuisine, the Mini Combo is a great place to start! You get to sample several traditional dishes without committing to just one. And don't forget to use the injera to scoop up your food instead of a fork. It's part of the experience! Even a dinosaur knows sometimes the best way to dig into a meal is with your claws!

I definitely do not recommend this place after my experience…read more When I walked in I was initially ignored for a couple minutes before being told to find a seat. I then sat there for 10 minutes before ever being brought a menu. Another 20 minutes before I ordered and then somehow almost an hour before my food came out. I was by myself and there were only three other occupied tables there with small groups at each. All that waiting can be tolerable if the food is good, but sadly my chicken was very overcooked and chewy and overall the food was nothing to write home about. Overall a disappointing experience.

I was so excited to come back to this restaurant because it has been a long while. When I attempted to stop here many months ago, it was under remodeling at the time. I was truly impressed and amazed by the enhancement of the ambiance. The dining furniture and the decorations all had a contemporary, inviting feel. The entertainment aspect of hearing Ethiopian music from the TV screen was a nice touch. For dinner, I ordered the following: - Meat Combo for One (Proteins: spicy chicken stew, spicy cubed beef stew, cubed beef stew, minced beef stew) - Side of Cabbage Stew (Ye-Atkilt Wot) I made slight modifications to the meat combo platter. Instead of receiving the minced beef stew, I asked for 2x spicy chicken stew. The presentation of the dish looked completely different from what I was used to in the past. I loved how this plate included not only the four proteins, cabbage stew, and injera, but also new additions of the house salad and one boiled egg. This offering was such an incredible switch-up. All of the food was incredibly palatable and flavorful. My taste buds were positively tantalized. Because I loved the Cabbage Stew / Ye-Atkilt Wot so much, I ordered an additional side. It was served with two extra injeras. The injeras served here were prepared to perfection, and not too sour. Dinner came out to be about ~$30, with tax included. They offer a slight discount if paying with cash. Otherwise, each transaction will be charged a credit card fee. I'm still a huge fan of Ethiopian cuisine, especially supporting this restaurant. The food just hits every single time! Undoubtedly, I will be returning again and again.

It's in a part of town I don't frequent, but the inside was very nice. I really liked the decor, seating, and ambiance. We were seated and given water and menus right away. The service was hands-off throughout the meal, which I personally didn't mind. I ordered the meat platter so I could try several dishes, including Alicha Minchet Abish Wot, Kay Wot, Ye-Doro Wot, Alicha Wot, and injera. In hindsight I don't think I received the cabbage stew listed with the platter, which was a little disappointing, but I can't say for sure since I'm still learning the different dishes. My favorite was the Ye-Doro Wot, a rich and spicy chicken stew with a drumstick, but everything tasted fresh and had great flavor and depth. I was hoping for the traditional round platter presentation I saw on other reviews, but everything was served close together and blended into one another. The presentation could've been better, but the food was amazing. The platter says it serves one, but I got two full meals out of it, so it could easily be shared. The leftovers were even richer and more flavorful the next day. I also ordered the tej after first discovering it in London and was very happy to see it here. It was sweet and refreshing while still having that distinct yeasty, fermented flavor. Overall, it was a fantastic meal and a great value for the amount of food. The menu is extensive, and although I didn't always know exactly what I was eating, it was all delicious. I'd definitely come back.

My family and I had the pleasure of eating at Chulla's Café, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The food was incredibly fresh, full of flavor, and you could really tell that everything was made with care. Every dish had its own unique taste, and it was a great introduction to African-inspired cuisine. What really made our visit memorable, though, was the people. The staff and owners were genuinely warm, welcoming, and took the time to chat with us. We had a wonderful conversation that made us feel like more than just customers--it felt like we were guests.

I had the Chicken Prosciutto sandwich with the Green salad and Brisket Chilli. The sourdough bread was kissed by the Grill given it a beautiful charred flavor adding to the flavor of the sandwich.

The side salad was perfectly dressed with a Honey Garlic dressing that was the bomb, The Brisket Chilli had a nice amount of Brisket and wasn't a salt bomb which can happen so easily. My Sister had the Fancy Toast. Boy howdy was it Fancy and she loved every bite. Although, she did say that the Jalapeño's were a bit over powering....but if you love spicy this is the toast for you.

Each plate came with two skewers of meat, rice pilaf, pita bread, tzatziki sauce, and a Greek salad, with the option to substitute fries for the rice. The rice pilaf was especially good: soft, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. In my opinion, the steak could have used a little more seasoning and salt, but it was tender, and the tzatziki added a lot of flavor. The salad was also delicious, and I'm pretty picky about salads! The lettuce was super crisp and fresh, and the vinaigrette gave it so much flavor. It was also the perfect size--not too little, but not overwhelmingly large. The souvlaki plate is a very generous portion, and you could easily get two meals out of it. I was only able to finish about half, so I definitely think the price is worth it.

To make matters worse, the dressing had leaked all over the inside of the delivery bag, so everything arrived messy. I also ordered the lemon soup, but it tasted more like a basic chicken and rice soup. I couldn't taste any lemon at all. I've had some outstanding Greek lemon soup over the years, and this just wasn't close. The gyro saved the meal, but the salad and soup were disappointing enough that I'd probably only come back for the gyro.

I'm here from Texas where I used to take my dad for 10 years. Once again I had the steak sandwich…read morethat was amazing still! The steak was tender and cooked perfectly. The roll was soft and toasted with butter. The sandwich had shredded lettuce and if I like tomato that would've been on there as well as the seasoned mayonnaise. But I'm a wimp and can't eat that hot stuff. Since I'm 65 and old, I got a free cookie that was very good. The Oatmeal and chocolate chip was excellent, fresh and yummy. The service was excellent, and the prices seem to be like every other place too high. but if you're going to go out to eat, none of us have a choice anymore! Next time I am in town, I will most certainly come back! It was one of my dad's and my favorite places to eat

The past repeated itself and I found myself here having lunch, and a long conversation over lunch,…read morein recent times. I first met the Brookfield's Rancho Cordova location, but I have eaten at this Brookfield's in Roseville several times. Previously, I had only eaten breakfast at this location, where the coffee kept coming as the conversations kept going. This time, I had lunch. I ordered a chicken ciabatta sandwich with fries while my friend ordered a BLT with fries, which was reportedly good. The chicken sandwich was also tasty and generously sized, but I felt the fries could have used some improvement. They were the thinner type and were moister than I like. I think that fries similar to larger (or even slightly larger) steak fries would make for a better accompaniment to their lunch platters. The service was prompt and amicable. The drinks were refilled as needed. (I wondered at times if we were being pushed out, but I don't think that that was the case since there were quite a few tables still available.) Note that, while the Rancho Cordova location is definitely a pleasant restaurant, they might have expended a little more energy and coin on the physical plant here. This is also a slightly nicer and newer neighborhood just over the county line to the north. The environment here is very pleasant. The pricing was in line with what the genre and the location command. I probably sang the praises for the Rancho Cordova location in another review because I had this dinner platter that I still fondly remember. Generally speaking, I prefer dinner food over lunch food, and lunch food over breakfast food. That could be it. That said, lunch here was indeed good and filling. There are some interesting quirks as to how the greater Sacramento area is laid out and Brookfield's sort of fits into the scheme of things. Going east of downtown Sacramento, the 50 freeway heads to South Lake Tahoe and the light rail follows it all the way to historic Folsom, with the Rancho Cordova store sitting along this route and only a short walk from a transit station. The 80 freeway also heads east, but veers northeasterly over the Sierra Nevada toward Reno, a 9-1-1 sort of place. The Roseville restaurant is located next to and is visible from 80. The difference is that this area gets more Stepford-ish and light rail service stops far short of here in a terminus that looks like a God forsaken treeless industrial section of a slumbering Midwestern city. Where the Roseville and Rancho locations sit, that "wishbone" created by the two diverging freeways is about 10 miles wide and it falls on "Big Hair Boulevard" to pick up the slack. If you haven't figured it out, that implies Sunrise Boulevard. Decades ago, a freeway had been penciled out to close this exact gap, but the proponents of the freeway lost ... and I wish they hadn't. Sunrise Boulevard does move along fairly briskly, so the drive between both restaurants isn't all that lengthy. There is just this vapid weirdness along stretches of Sunrise that could lead you to ask who is it that lives there, why so, and what they do. This sensation peaks as you are traversing "the Heights," which is what friends and I "affectionately" nicknamed Citrus Heights. I would have rather taken that proposed freeway and bypassed all of this! Brookfield's is obviously a solid establishment with staying power. The demographics of their catchment areas are not that interesting and quirky to most people, but they are to me. That said, I tend to add in these ingredients to round out and create a sense of adventure, a need for analysis, and even infuse a dose of harmless neurosis to many dining experiences.

Mario's Early Toast is a cute spot with a wonderful atmosphere! We visited one of their locations…read morerecently, and even though it was definitely busy when we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised by how quickly we were seated. We chose to sit outside, and their outdoor heaters kept us completely warm and comfortable throughout the meal. The food was excellent. Our table ordered the Chef Mau skillet, the linguica omelette, and the Mickey Mouse pancakes, and everything came out beautifully. I also tried their mango swirl mimosa. Their mimosa menu is long, so you have plenty of great options to select from. The service was great from start to finish. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be coming back to try more on their menu!

I always heard about Mario's Early Toast, but I never had the chance to check it out until…read morerecently. I was surprised to see my favorite meal on the menu! It was called The Body Builder, and it included chicken breast, egg whites, rice, and avocado. I came here after a good workout and it worked out perfectly to have the healthy meal! I thought the chicken was tasty and the meal was good. I also ordered a protein pancake to try out and it was good! The service was good and our server made sure we were taken care of. It's hard to find good service these days, and I'm glad we had a great server. I think his name was Kaden or something similar. There were plenty of other menu items that I'd like to try out. I would definitely come back if I am ever in the area.

I like to mainly order from either Uber eats or Doordash…read more Mainly to use the buy one get one free deals, because I am a disabled broke man, that my doctors take most of my SSDI money. I like to take the buy one get one free lamb dish

I ordered from again using the DoorDash. Since they was doing the buy one get one free, and since I…read moream already broke I decided to purchase the buy one get one free deal. When it finally got to me, and I ate one of the lamb platters dish, it was then already COLD. Usually when I used to order from the Uber eats, that stays still warm when it gets delivered to me. That I needed to put that in my air fryer warm it back up. The only platform now that continues the buy one get one free free is now DOORDASH. Yet the driver ended up delivering the food quite late, and hence I needed to input the food im my air fryer to warm it back uo to edible temperatures . REALLY SUCKS THAT I AM NOT ABLE TO MODIFY THE ORDER KNOWING THAT I AM ALLERGIC TO THE ONE SAUCE, WHERE I AGAIN FUCKING NEARLY DIED BECAUSE IF THE FUCKING WHITE SAUCE!!!

This is my first time seeing a Katsu Chicken Moco. Katsu served like Loco Moco?! I've got the…read morebeeeeeeesst of both wooorlds... Although we chose to dine in, the food was served in to-go containers. It worked well at the end because I was able to easily take the leftovers home. My plate came with two scoops of steamed white rice, two eggs, mac salad, and steamed veggies. The mac salad was okay. It lacked a bit of flavor so I added some chili oil on top. My eggs were perfectly over easy. I broke the yolks over my rice and mixed it with the gravy making an extra decadent sauce. The musubis come two to an order and individually wrapped in plastic wrap. The rice to Spam ratio was good. My husband has no complaints. Each table has a set of sauces: Katsu Sauce, Soy Sauce, Sweet & Sour Sauce, and Teriyaki Sauce. I dipped my chicken in the katsu sauce. It was on the sweeter side, but still delicious. The restaurant was clean and had plenty of tables. More and more patrons came trickling in during the late lunch/early dinner time window. It was a great experience!
