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.

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.

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.

We didn't know that they sold Belgian chocolates until we arrived, and we thought that was so unique and a fun representation of the cultures of the owners. We felt right at home here, and Dirk couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful with suggestions. We were feeling adventurous and tried items from their authentic Thai specialities menu, and were so glad that we did. My husband tried the northern Thai style larb, which Dirk told us has herbs harvested from mountains of Thailand in it, and my husband loved it so much he declared it the best dish he's tried so far this year. We were happy with everything we tried, and the chocolate tiramisu was so good for dessert. You can't come here and not take some chocolate home! We already can't wait to come back, and we enjoyed supporting such a passionate business.

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!!!

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

They also have a fabulous breakfast, which I show below. Tofu scramble, vegan bacon and smoothies are always available! Everything about this place is great, the staff is kind and food is top notch. My only wish is for them to move to a larger space one day with seating. There are some counter-top seats and one patio table outside but not enough for all the customers that swarm the venue. We usually get our food to go and eat it at Elizabeth Park in West Hartford nearby, the perfect spring date idea. If you haven't been here yet, you gotta go, but plan where you are going to eat the food first!

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.
