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.

I also got some chicken soup that I'm saving for later. There was a special on Uber Eats, two for one on the stew chicken and chicken soup so I definitely took advantage. All of that was 40$ and I have so much left overs to last me through the weekend. One of the stew chickens was demolished. The sauce was so flavorful and the chicken soup tender and the rice and beans and cabbage cooked to perfection. I will so be back and I'm letting all my friends know about this place. Next up will for sure be the goat curry. Thank you Island Fish Head!

I recently visited this Jamaican restaurant because I was craving Rasta pasta. I had tried it at…read moreDunns River before, but over the past year or two, it has become very soupy, so I decided to try another place. After calling around and finding that another restaurant didn't have it, I came across this restaurant and decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, the Rasta pasta here was also very soupy and watery, and it was not up to par for me. I didn't enjoy it at all and ultimately had to throw it away. The staff was very kind and polite, which I love from a place. Unfortunately, the dish itself was disappointing, I would not order the Rasta pasta again.

We asked for him to recommend three dishes and holy cow they were amazing! Tamarind Duck, northern thai curry with shrimp and chicken larb(SPICY!). All three were outstanding.

The drunken noodles had real flavor and actual spice--thank you for not watering it down! You can tell they stayed true to the dish, and I appreciated that. The duck roll was good overall. I personally would've liked the sauce on the side and the wrap a bit thinner, but flavor-wise it was definitely there. The winter shrimp was solid too--nothing that blew me away, but still good. I didn't come for the ambiance, but it still gave a nice cultural vibe. Service was smooth--I called in my order and they answered right away, no issues at all. I'll definitely be back because there are a few more things on the menu I've got my eye on

Chicken was tender. 5/5 Fried rice with duck. Tender duck. Well seasoned dish. Generous chunks of vegetables. Tender rice. Just the right consistency. 10/5. Kid said that's the best duck dish he's had. And we're never going to find a duck dish better than that. (Agree in white america this is prob the best duck we've had. Including the more shi-shi restaurants and local Chinese restaurants. Disagree that we will not find the equal somewhere.) Red snapper with honey sauce. 5/5. Beautiful. Generous portion. Strawberry bubble tea 5/5 Chicken dumplings 5/5. Good sauce. Pretty vegetable Garnish. Tasty dumplings. Small place. Only 3 tables and few seats along the front window. They didn't have a larger table open. Some regular customers actually love the owners so much that they moved to the window seating so we could sit together as a family. And said we needed to really enjoy our meal as it would be amazing. And it was!!! Amazing! Now the gold standard for restaurants. We're going to have to drive to Connecticut to get the best Thai??! 10/5. Highly recommend!! Eat here!!! Or get it to go!!!

So this was my first time trying a vegan restaurant .. which was recommend to me by my friend …read more I will say I'm not vegan and neither is my husband but I wanted to bring my mom and sister who are vegetarian for a nice family dinner . And I am so glad I did ! The food was amazing , the owner is so sweet we got to meet her and she told us her story about wanting to have her own restaurant since forever ! So they normally have a regular menu however they do offer vegan hot pot with a reservation which I highly recommend because it was amazing !!! We tried all the vegan food ( vegan duck , vegan chicken , tofu , fried tofu ) . Which was really good because if you have never tried vegan food before this allowed you the option to try all the different protein options and see which you liked rather than ordering a single dish . And considering I'm not vegan and my husband loves meat a lot ... we still enjoyed ourselves, all the food was delicious and filling ! My favourite was the vegan duck and the fried tofu and the spicy curry ( highly recommend) Even the dessert which was a Oreo and banana pudding was delicious. Overall 10/10 great food , great location and atmosphere, great staff ! I highly recommend even if your a meat lover to go give it a try ... and you might be pleasantly surprised ( I was ) and I will definitely be back to try some more dishes !

However, what we did order hit the spot, and resoundingly so. We ordered one cup of tom yum with coconut milk, one cup of tom yum with clear broth, spring rolls, and chive patties. The tom yum with coconut milk was almost like a curry: very filling and creamy. The tom yum with clear broth was spicy, with every sip bursting with flavour. The portions were absolutely gigantic, and we had plenty left over. The spring rolls were perfectly hot and perfectly crispy. The filling was also delicious. The chive patties were also fried to a crisp, and were my favourite item on the menu. The food took a relatively long time to come, but service was very friendly. The ambiance was warm, with some interesting East Asian artwork. I'm always excited about all-vegan places, just because I can eat everything listen on the menu and don't have to parse carefully to figure out what I can consume. Simultaneously, I hold these establishments to high standards: such restaurants need to be truly exceptional to thrive. My dining partner and I were delighted with our experience at Aroy, and hope to return when we're next in Connecticut.

The flavors were amazing and it was a new experience. I ordered from Abyssinian a few nights ago and had it delivered. I was so hungry but I barely touched my meal. And I spent over 40$ on the special which comes with 4 entrees. The costa was bitter with no flavor at all, the Alcha sega wit and key sega wot were tomatoey and sour and there were maybe two tiny pieces of beef between the both of them and filled with potato. The injera was not great. Overall, I would never order from them again and probably would not venture in to try in person either.

(Straight Lines) Sweetwater Salad Bar made a bad experience "good" today when they pivoted and made a great customer service decision. They have a deep menu with all sorts of customizable Smoothies, three kinds of toasts, and Wraps. We went for lunch today and decided on a "to go" order of their Avocado Toast. We paid our $5.84 and waited for the order to be assembled. After a few minutes, a manager approached us to say they couldn't make the avocado toast because they had run out of bread. Now... since you can't really make an Avocado Toast, Peanut Butter Banana Toast, or Hummus Toast without toast, and you can't really make toast without bread, we understood why they couldn't give us the order we had already paid for. But they made things right by offering us something else, so we opted for a chicken quesadilla which we received for no additional charge. The quesadilla was good with a nice mix of chicken and cheese. IMPROVEMENT OPPORTUNITIES Obviously, inventory management comes to mind, and if they run out of bread, that information should be conveyed to the entire staff so everyone is on the same page about what is and is not available, what can and cannot be made, and what should and should not be paid for.
