So, I'm from NYC and I'm Dominican. I was very excited to see this place in Buffalo, but we got…read morereally disappointed. If you want real Dominican food that you can at least stomach without being disgusted, try Latino Cuisine at the Galleria Mall. We came here and got the mac and cheese, ribs with yellow rice, and the fried pork bites with yellow rice. First, we ordered the mac and cheese. It came once we were done with our two first meals, which we couldn't even finish. It was basically a soup with a cup of actual macaroni; the rest was just cheese liquid, very disgusting, and it doesn't look at all like what they advertise on DoorDash/Uber Eats. The rice wasn't actual Dominican rice; it had corn in it. They had no moro, and when I asked for it, he put huge brown beans with the sauce that ruined the rice. Also, they only had rice with corn or white rice. The fried pork bites were really dry; they needed a sauce. The only thing we liked were the ribs slathered in BBQ sauce, which was still mediocre. The service was awful, trying to rush you into making a decision just for the food to take ages. He got annoyed by other customers asking questions and modifications. They only had one person in the back cooking, and if they don't "feel like it," it doesn't get done even if it's on the menu. At one point, it felt like we were getting punked because everyone else was getting four plates worth, and they had amazing reviews online. Huge money waste! Almost 50 dollars--back home, I'll tell you, this would have been 35 max. Everything was off from the service to the food in other places where Dominican food is common like nyc or Pennsylvania allentown people who work are respectful and make good food. They bring that Dominican experience over to the U.S, this really sucked. Sadly no pictures taken as we threw the food out and this was a couple days ago. It honestly felt like the big guy at the front was antagonizing us after the mac and cheese, every second coming over and asking if we like the food. Overall, horrible food, flies and mosquitoes everywhere at the restaurant, weird seating, and a huge waste of money if you like actual, real, authentic Dominican food.

The FOOD- Is DELICIOUS Carribbean food. I love everything, the stew chicken, the curry chicken, the jerk chicken, and my favorite....the Trinbago Chinese Chicken. The patties are authentic and soooo good- Buttery, flaky (but not too much), great flavor and spice. I recommend all of them, but the curry and beef are my favorite. Lastly you MUST try the homemade drinks, no recycled store bought here. You haven't had Ginger Beer until you've had theirs. It's homemade and will clear you up in a good way...strong and sweet. The Lime is delicious! The Sorrel is like a cross between loganberry with a hint of licorice (and I don't even like licorice, but this just works). Sides are very good too. I like the Mac pie and the cabbage is on the tougher side but that works for me because I do not like soft cabbage. The restaurant itself is VERY clean and intimate. An upgrade from their food truck in ways that make me so happy for them and the community. I've been able to work here on my laptop while enjoying great food. Check them out. You won't be disappointed!

You can order three entrees for only $5! My favorites are the stew chicken and jerk chicken. For the sides, you get to choose between mac and cheese or salad. The meat falls right off the bone and is cooked well. I would have preferred a little bit more flavor in the meat personally as I feel like theres more flavor in the sauce that is paired with it, but it is still a go to spot whenever I'm the area. The service is friendly and there is plenty of seating. Ambiance is a little vintage.

I'm moving out of Upstate New York this summer and the one thing on my bucket list after Chef…read moreDarian won Next Level Chef was to try his restaurant. I'm so glad I did! The restaurant itself is beautifully designed, and it opens up to a little open air stage area so we got to hear live music in the background. The little newspaper article in the window about Chef Darian's (and other local Buffalo chefs) immigration/ culinary journey was so inspiring, I love to see immigrants not only find success in America but celebrating and sharing their culture with us. That is was makes this country great. Dinner was absolutely phenomenal, I felt so lucky that the week my friend and I visited that they were featuring winning dishes from Next Level Chef. The service was excellent, the staff were so welcoming and attentive. I don't know the next time I will be able to visit Buffalo, but I will definitely be returning. When we left my friend was already texting his mom and grandma planning another day trip to Buffalo to take them here. Cannot speak highly enough!

Everyone else had the Rasta pasta with shrimp. One person ordered the cocoa bread and we all tried it. Everything was very good, there were no complaints.
