@firenspice491 ~ I'm late to the party here, but it's better than missing out altogether. I've…read moredriven by @firenspice491, an outstanding plant-based Jamaican eatery in Hartford, many times. I've heard very good things. I wish I had gone earlier, but I'll probably visit a few times a year going forward. First of all, I have to say everybody, from the chef who I assume is also an owner, to the regular customers who pointed me in the right direction food-wise, was very welcoming. Following the lead of my Fire N Spice guru, I ordered a medium container which they'll fill with your choice of about 5 things. I chose "sausage", stewed potatoes, wild rice, sautéed veggies and tofu scramble. I also bought a pumpkin patty. It all felt very nourishing. My favorites that I'll definitely go back to were the pumpkin patty, the sausage and the surprising tofu scramble. I can definitely see mixing up the sausage and tofu scramble. And the pumpkin patty was so flaky and delicious. @firenspice491 has my high recommendation. How high. I went back the same week after my initial visit and after I had written this review. 2nd visit was just as good. I really liked the greens Pro Tip -- I'm not sure what happens when they open at 10. But my first visit, I arrived a bit before noon and a lot of the cafeteria style food was still being finalized. So maybe go at noon for more max options. 4.5 Stars

I'm not even vegan, so let's just say I was definitely dragged here! Honestly, the main thing I…read morewas looking forward to was the chickpeas because I absolutely LOVE chickpeas. Thankfully, they were good! However, I would have given this place 5 stars if it weren't for one thing: the temperature of the chickpeas. They weren't hot enough, and honestly, they weren't even at room temperature. That was a little disappointing because I really enjoyed the taste and was hoping they would be served warmer. Overall, I can appreciate good food regardless of whether it's vegan or not, and the chickpeas definitely had potential. I just wish they had been served at the proper temperature because that would have made the experience so much better!

I had first heard about this spot from a YouTube review on 'Mostly Healthy Food Reviews', and my vegan friend Shanta was raving about it too. Then another good review on YouTube by Eric on 'The Hungry Road'. So I had to check it out. I purchased 2 patties but one was certainly filling enough for lunch. My favorite hands down was the curry chickpea zucchini. It was a flavor explosion of veggies that was amazing. They also have a fridge full of patties packaged up for you to take home and bake. They had a dessert box too and today's special was pumpkin coco bread. The lucky couple in front of me grabbed the last two. Glad I live close enough to drop in regularly now.

This is my newest post-bowling hangout place! I have a rare chance to grab a drink and some food on…read morethe way home tonight from bowling. The restaurant is located on 389 Main St. in East Hartford. Their kitchen is built fresh, from scratch, and all homemade. Their appetizers, pasta, entrees and desserts combine old-world traditional Italian flavor with a modern flair for presentation, and the freshest ingredients around. Menu staples like calamari, chicken milanese, fettucine carbonara and ravioli are paired with unique recipes like pappardelle with sausage and tenderloin steaks. They have staffed our kitchen with a dream team of local chefs that ensure our quality does not waiver and our kitchen is always OPEN! You just can't go wrong. I had the pleasure of speaking with the legendary Carmine (the owner of this great place). He has quite a few great stories to tell! For my first drink, I'm having the Pratt & Whiskey. It is made with Woodford Reserve bourbon, sweet vermouth, red wine and sour mix. This drink is a play on Pratt & Whitney (which is literally right across the street). This is like a Manhattan. It is nicely garnished, chilled and tastes great. You can taste the alcohol and the wine stands out! This is a very unique drink! For my first item, I'm having a Half Caesar Salad. A Caesar salad is a crisp green salad made with romaine lettuce, garlic croutons, Parmesan cheese, and a creamy dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, egg, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper. I like their use of cloth napkins and metal silverware. I do not care for plastic silverware or paper napkins unless the situation calls for it. This is tossed nicely! I do not care for a Caesar salad where they give you a side of the dressing. Don't forget to sprinkle on pepper. It goes well with this dish! The croutons are good and I like the large pieces of Parmesan cheese! There's lots of dressing too! This dish is even better with sardines but they aren't cheap. For my appetizer, I'm having the House-made Soup of the Day. I'm told it's Vegetable Beef Barley. Extra spicy, of course! It is absolutely huge and spicy as can be! It's hot too and a good sized portion! Wow! This is spicy! I added a little new hot pepper powder (mine) called Three Ghosts made by NoBull Spice Co. The blend begins with the bold, nutty smokiness of Red de Árbol, laying a rich foundation for the trio of Ghost Peppers. Red Ghost brings bright fruitiness, floral notes, and classic Ghost Pepper heat. Chocolate Ghost adds deep earthy richness with hints of bittersweet cocoa and smoke, while Green Ghost finishes with fresh grassy citrus notes that brighten the blend before unleashing an unforgettable, lingering burn. This is rated as 300,000 Scoville units. Be careful with this stuff! There is just no better than this! They have open mike (jazz) here tonight! This place is famous for live music! These people are good! I could stay here all night! For my next drink, I am having the Manhattan's Creek made with Knob's Creek bourbon, sweet vermouth, dry vermouth and Angostura bitters. This is actually a Perfect Manhattan martini. This is "perfect"! It is very well chilled, garnished with a maraschino cherry and is perfectly balanced. Wow! It's nice and strong! What an incredible drink! For my entrée, I'm having the Chicken A La Vodka. This is grilled chicken breast served with traditional vodka sauce, peas (extra for me!), sun-dried tomatoes and rigatoni with crispy prosciutto with Parmesan (light for real me). This is spicy! The bowl is real hot too! For my final drink, I'm having a Negroni. A Negroni is an Italian cocktail, made of equal parts gin, vermouth rosso (red, semi-sweet), and Campari, generally served with ice, and commonly garnished with an orange slice or orange peel. It is considered an apéritif. Apéritifs are drinks, typically alcoholic, that are normally served respectively before and after a meal. Well, in my case, during the meal! Let's see how the "new" Tuesday bartender does. This is a perfect drink! It's chilled and nicely garnished! It's perfectly poured too! I would like the single large ice cube but not every place has that luxury. Still she is very good! For dessert, I'm having the Toasted Almond which is soaked in Amaretto, layered with light custard and topped with crushed almonds. I don't think I've ever had this before! I love whipped cream!!! This is the bomb! What a fantastic experience here! There's never a disappointing night at this place! It just doesn't get any better! Thank you Carmine!

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.

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.
