This is a fun little spot with a live DJ, food, and hookah. Like all places there are pro's &…read morecon's. Most of the food was tasty but the beans were by far the most bland beans I have tried. The drinks were average at best but overall food and drinks was priced fairly. $30 hookah, did not last long and did not taste too good. DJ was ok, definitely played good music but oh my goodness the volume and the repetitive bachata was enough to make my ears bleed! We love Latin music, but seriously there is a lot more to Latin music than just bachata. He did play two good salsa songs but other than that the DJ could really afford to FIRST OF ALL lower the music just a tiny bit and expand on the genres - although I understand that crowd loves bachata. We all like club level music but when it's ridiculously too loud - there is such a thing as too much. 18% gratuity automatically added to our first bill with food and drinks. They closed us out as it was the end of brunch but thankfully were able to stay at our table and open a new tab. One minor hiccup, the waitress never came back with change for our second bill. I had to ask for my change and it was still returned incorrectly! The pro's: Very attentive, cheerful and hospitable staff. The waitresses all checked on us, cleaned our table after we ate, fixed our drinks on top of napkins and always with a smile on their face. A young guy who might have been a bus boy or host was animated, dancing around, smiling and really brought great welcoming energy that did not go unnoticed. Overall this is definitely a fun place for the younger crowd that wants to enjoy some music, drinks, food and hookah.

The staff was very attentive and expedient in servicing the crowd. They moved about with the finest precision, delivering food and beverages. Although I did not eat, the appearance of the food was quite pleasing to the eye as it appeared to have come out of a food magazine. The assorted foods pleasant aromas permeated the air throughout the evening, further teasing my appetite. I haven't photographed in a club for quite some time and felt somewhat out-of-touch. The decor and atmosphere made me feel welcomed and put my at ease. The music was nice as it bolstered the mood. I would have had a great time at this party. Had I not been working. I'm looking forward to coming back in a non working capacity to experience all that this place has to offer.

Seasoned well, lots of margarine sauce with fresh garlic. A little salty but a good amount for the price. My second order just a month apart was vastly different. The crabs came and that ammonia like smell hit me like a baseball to the face. Spending all my summers in Maryland,I recognize the smell of rotten crabs. It was potent. I was highly upset because how could you send this out?? You could literally kill someone like this! Throwing a mountain of garlic and old bay to mask that heavy ammonia scent due to expiration is a very dangerous game. I was refunded my money but that's honestly not the point here. It's pure dangerous to sell rotten seafood to folk. I looked on the app reviews and saw 2 others say the same months before me. Unforgivable.

Amazing place! Will go there again! Delicious. Nice staff, great drinks. Awesome atmosphere.read more

I ordered chicken tacos and my boyfriend ordered a plate that had rice beans , rice and meat . Unfortunately his plate was not good at all. The meat lacked flavor and it did not taste good . The beans also had something inside . We notified one of the servers and she just giggled and laughed it out. I notified another server and she went to the back to tell the cook. It seemed like she didn't know what to do. We asked for a manager and she said there was no manager . We asked her if she can take it off the receipt since it was no good and she then proceeded to say no . She suggested to order some thing else but his appetite was gone . She said she wasn't able to do anything else . Would not recommend!

Looking for a chill African spot to dance and unwind, we were recommended to visit Origin. We…read morearrived around 10:30 and were told we made it just in time to get in for free, as there is a cover charge starting at 11 pm. For about an hour, the music was at an enjoyable level. Once it hit 11:30, the dj started and it became hard to talk to each other. The afrobeats and hip-hop kept us dancing and singing all night, although a lot of songs ended prematurely. My girlfriend didn't enjoy her espresso martini until they made it again with less Bailey's. I ordered a Remy Martin based cocktail which was ok. Our bartender was funny and engaging, and she went above and beyond to make us drinks we had at other restaurants (which she nicely didn't charge us for). Their alcohol selection is average. They also have a VIP lounge upstairs and people smoke hookah throughout.

We arrived at the location a little before 11 PM and there was no cover which was a pleasant surprise. We were told that the peak hours are after 11:30 till 3 AM. Before the DJ arrived, we were able to hear each other speaking and hold conversation. Once the DJ arrived around 1130/12pm it was difficult to hear each other. The espresso martini wasn't my favorite was more Baileys and espresso liquor based as opposed to the foundation being coffee/espresso with a splash of Bailey's. I really enjoyed my apple whiskey martini with cranberry juice and grenadine. I highly recommend ordering it. I love how the drink menu had unique cocktail names that were African based. The service was great. The staff and bartenders were super friendly and were open to accommodating our unique cocktail recipe requests. I look forward to coming back for the food and bringing friends and family in the future.
