The goat was flavorful and tender, and came on a mountain of perfectly cooked and seasoned rice. They also provided hot sauce and a lemon wedge. Others in my party got the chicken suqaar plates, and enjoyed their meals too. We all were obsessed with the bisbaas/basbaas (green hot sauce) that came with our meal, and I really liked the dynamic flavors in the food. Pricing is a little high, but the amount of food you get is generous. I'd definitely come back again and will plan to take leftovers home or share an entree.

My wife and I decided to share a late afternoon snack at The Tase of Co go when we went to the Spice Bridge. The Spice Bridge has up to 4 different restaurants inside their Global Food Hall. Today, we were lucky to experience the Taste of Congo. I know that I ordered some "not too adventurous" foods, and it was amazing. The Beef Stew was incredibly flavored. I know it was probably toned down for the average American, but sooo delicious. The meat was tender and spiced. The fufu was great, and I got to eat with my hands while my wife looked on in aghast... she used a spoon. The beignets were delicious! I say were because they are always gone so quickly!

I had the Chicken Yassa, described as "grilled chicken leg marinated overnight in onion, garlic, mustard, lemon, and chef's secret recipe." It came with a side of Jollof Rice. The flavor was great, but the chicken was dry. We're talking VERY dry, as in overcooked and so dry as to almost be inedible. I was disappointed. Those flavors with a juicy piece of chicken would be outstanding. The green spicy sauce/chutney that accompanied the chicken is outstanding. The Jollof Rice ("steamed basmati rice seasoned and sautéed with onions, garlic, pepper, tomatoes, and carrots") was okay. I've had better Jollof Rice at African restaurants before, so this was not tops. It too was a little dry, but the flavor was fine. Finally, I had a beignet. These are round. It had a nice crunch on the outside and a good sweetness, but it was so dense and heavy that I could not eat it. This was a disappointing item. Over all, Afella Jollof seems to show some signs of being a young restaurant. It needs to work on preciseness and consistency so the great flavors are accompanied by juicy and appealing items they spice. I'll go back because it's a business worth supporting, but I can't give this place more than three stars (A-OK in Yelp's terms) for now. I hope to see improvements so I can up the rating later. Afella Jollof Catering is located in the Spice Bridge food hall (located in one of the SHAG retirement condo buildings). Parking can be hard to locate at first, but it's behind the building.

They serve them in a roll version vs. what you typically see in a restaurant with different dollops of food on the spongy bread. Generous spread of sauce and veggies fill the bread, rolled up, and ready to eat. It was perfect and delicious too! We also bought a baklava without nuts. When we were there, only one person seems to be working, but it was in the middle of the afternoon when it wasn't too busy. She prepped our food and was our cashier too. She was a very kind and sweet lady, and was extra appreciative that we drove half an hour to buy from them. This Food Hall strive to support refugees and immigrants by offering kitchens and retail spaces for them to start a small business. Currently, 8 businesses are sharing time and use of the facilities, 3 days each per week with Mondays closed. Check the Spice Bridge website for details. This new hall is very clean and well organized. There are plenty of signs/menus to guide you on your food adventure. There are also plenty of hand sanitizer!

The food here is delicately and expertly cooked. Not greasy and heavy in the stomach as if it sat all day simmering. Rather, I felt my tongue was graced with careful and soul-felt home-cooking. I found the vegetarian platter left me feeling healthy -- the curries were obviously well-flavored however, not with a heavy hand (e.g., the gently spiced Misr Wat). Excellently cooked cabbage with carrots side dish and beets side dish....each showcasing the lovely fresh taste of the vegetable itself. The cook is masterful. She came out to check on the dining experience. Obviously I told her I would be back with friends because this place is an Ethiopian food-lovers' Mecca. [How are there only 4 reviews as of June 2025??] I cannot recommend Moya more highly for its spotless restaurant and bathroom. A pleasure to dine here and to hear the warm, enlivening Ethiopian music they play.
