I love Ethiopian food and this is the only place nearby so I come here often, unfortunately this…read moreplace misses the mark sometimes. We came here for chicken and beef tibs ( they are always out of lamb tibs) , the beef was overcooked and somehow not hot , the chicken was also not hot , the injera was pretty cold , I am not sure why the injera would be cold to the touch and why they would serve their meat dishes lukewarm , they need to improve their standards here. The food is a lot more than just flavor and this makes it taste much worse. The beef being very chewy and overcooked is another problem that I keep running into, please improve your standards and your cooking. We also tried some samosas which were not flavorful at all and were just packed with plain ground meat. We tried the special mango juice which was ok too. Service is always great and friendly and the place is never busy with a quiet laidback ambiance

Authentic African restaurant with flavorful stews and traditional fufu. They have a limited menu…read morethat is made fresh daily and they are only open on the weekend. The place is small, clean and the staff are very friendly. I tried the beef stew with some fufu and papaya juice. All were great , the beef stew was flavorful but didn't deviate too far from regular beef stew I have had in other places, I wish it was more unique or had more spices , it was still good. The fufu was good but tends to stay hot longer because of how it's packed so be careful burning your mouth. I like to dip the fufu in the beef stew and eat both together . The papaya juice was light and refreshing, a unique drink option compared to typical sodas. Give this place a try if you haven't had traditional African food before. They also gave me a samosa on the house which was nice and a bit spicy , it tends to be oily but was flavorful. Hoping to come back and try other menu items, especially the goat stew. I was a bit surprised that the price for the meal was higher than expected , especially for the amount of food you get and the other options in the area but it's worth it given the authentic food you get.

What a hidden gem! This place has definitely been on my list since it opened. I've tried to come…read moretwo times before. First time it was closed (reason unknown, during hours of operation) and the last time about an hour before closing and they were sold out for the day. The woman who helped us was very nice. Unfortunately they had sold out of most of their foods this day too! Luckily we were able to try the chicken over white rice, samosas and fried donut type of dessert. Inexpensive and huge portions. The chicken was flavorful and the samosas were packed with heat! The "donut" was a heavier batter, a hint of sweetness and just the right size. It didn't give you that "I ate too much" feeling. The only reason this place isn't getting five stars is because chicken was the only food she had left. She said that steak, goat and lamb frequent the menu, but that it changes everyday. Tip - based on my three attempts, I suggest arriving for lunch or early dinner, like 4-5 p.m.

This was my final visit to Eatwell African Restaurant. I placed a pickup order and arrived early. I…read morewas told to wait until the scheduled pickup time. That would have been acceptable, except when I returned at the exact time given, I was told to wait an additional five minutes. What is the purpose of scheduling a pickup time if the order is not ready at that time? Customers' time should be respected. This is not an isolated incident. I consistently experience this issue with the same server. The attitude is dismissive and unprofessional. It often feels as though I am inconveniencing her by simply picking up food I have already paid for. The treatment toward women in particular is noticeably unpleasant and uncomfortable. If you arrive with a partner, the energy shifts in a way that feels intentional and inappropriate. Customer service is a choice. The repeated lack of professionalism, courtesy, and respect is unacceptable. Even when the food is decent, the experience overshadows it completely. I did not enjoy my meal because of how I was treated. I will not be returning and cannot recommend this establishment to anyone. Respecting customers' time and providing basic courtesy should not be optional.

Let me start by saying this, do not expect high levels of customer service. When I arrived, they were having some issues with POS system. I waited several mins prior to someone speaking to me and asking to take my order. Nonetheless, the gentleman here was t super talkative but was nice. Okay onto the food. If there one thing to take away from this review: BE CAREFUL WITH THE HIGH SAUCE. This not American high sauce, this shit is no joke. Try a dab before you sprinkle it onto your food or it could potentially ruin your meal. Jallof Rice - I thought it would have been a little bit more flavorful but it was tasty Red Snapper - BOMB! Cooked to perfection I would 100% order again Plantains (not show ) - also delicious. I'd definitely Rec commend and I look forward to going back and trying some other authentic African dishes.

She answered all of our questions and even provided us with some complimentary samples of their in house made sorrels Food: I am not African but 2 of my friends were and they ordered some other items off of the menu ( fufu, soup, puff puff , fish meal and of course Jollof rice) I was going to order Jollof but they said it would be a 20 minute wait as they were waiting for a new fresh pot to finish cooking. I tried their Meat pie (~$3) (not pictured) and would give it a 5/10. It was filling but I felt like it could have used more meat and some kind of sauce. The ginger juice (pictured below) was also delicious and refreshing. There's plenty of seating area so this is a place you can dine in or takeout. But they recommend calling ahead to make sure they have the food available / ready to serve. Parking: The owner's daughter mentioned there was parking around the back near the tax business. All in all, I will come back to try an actual meal.
