    I've been wanting to try this place for quite some time, always nice to have some new Ethnicity style places added to downtown Shelton. I walked in on a Saturday and went for the Chicken Schwarma. They put a spin on it and included some andouille sausage and their heritage sauce along with the slaw. Overall it was good but I was slightly disappointed. I like the wrap but wasn't crazy about the chicken. It was more of the shredded style and they threw the sausage in the wrap whole, definitely would have blended together if it was cut up. Slightly too much slaw, heritage sauce had a nice kick too it, had great flavor as well. They had some indoor seating, I took mine to go. This place has potential, just would like to see them change some stuff up.

    Came here to grab some food for lunch. Upon entering I was greeted by warm smiles and a kind welcome. I ordered the jerk chicken with jollof rice and oxtail also with jollof rice. As I waited for the food I was jamming to some Spinall, definitely got the Nigerian vibes. The food was enough for my husband to have for both our lunch and our dinner ! We both agreed the food was AMAZING and full of flavor. We will be returning.

    THIS.PLACE.IS.AMAZING!!! I've been seeing Fufu and soups all over TikTok and Instagram, like every other video I see is about people eating their fufu so I HAD to try it out! I've looked all over the place and found Heritage Spice It's over 17 miles away from me but I drove all the way their just to try it out and I got the Egusi soup (w/ assorted meats) and pounded yam. OMG how have I lived without this??? SOOOO AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! full of flavor, the spice is just perfect, texture, everything about it makes me so happy about the dish. I have never tried it before and can't explain the flavor, but I recommend anyone to try it because it is so good. Food for the soul! 10 stars

    Jumped on the Tik Tok train, and tried Afro-Caribbean for the first time! So impressed and the service here was just amazing! The employee taking orders was helpful in guiding us through the menu. We ended up getting the Jollof Rice w/ assorted meat, Egusi Stew w/ fish, and the Amala w/ gbegiri and ewedu. The egusi with fish was especially good and the goat and plaintains with the jollof rice were so tasty! Be aware everything was pretty expensive and some dishes were more worth it than others. For what we paid for the amala w/ gbegiri and ewedu, we got way more with other dishes. Also didn't know that the Amala was so bitter! That's definitely our inexperience so I won't say it's bad, just warning others! Would be interested in trying the oxtail and other options next time!

    Tasty ethic foods gives you the full experience of Ghanaian cuisine. Walked in and they gave me a…read moretray full of rice, pasta, fried fish, chicken, and another meat (maybe goat) that had been marinating in a brown sauce. 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.

    This placed used to be Tasty Ethnic foods a while ago. Now the management changed and the name is…read moreconfusing. As per Google it is Sidibe African Restaurant (Nhyira). 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.
