    Slivers of bone.

    Got the greens absolutely delicious . Watch out for slivers of bones please, chew carefully.

    I was well pleased with the service of the staff here. I like that they have quick service and move the line fairly quickly. The business seems to be owned and operated by families. The food was hot and delicious. There were options for fish and vegetarian plate. The fish included rice, vegetables, and a green spinach sauce. I ordered an extra side of plantains. The vegetarian dish offered cabbage, rice, and peas, red sauce, and plantains. If you enjoy authentic cultural foods, you will not be disappointed. Be prepared for a little spice. Prices are reasonable and it's clean.

    Yassa yap
    Katherine D.

    Was looking for restaurants that had jerk chicken, and gave Teranga a try. I ordered the Yassa yap and jerk chicken with greens. The presentation and temperature were good, the jerk chicken and the side of rice were extremely delicious! The chicken was soft and flavorful. The rice was regular white rice but so web cooked, I loved it. I was not a fan of the Yassa yap which is lamb because the meat was chewy and it was mostly fat rather than meat. Also, the greens were not that great because they were mooshy. Overall, it was good to give it a try, I will try their oxtails next time.

    Senegalese and Jamaican cuisine are two of my favorite foods and Teramga does both well. Everything I've ordered from here has been legit. They make the BEST Thiebou Djeun this side of the rIver and I've dined at all of Cincys Senegalese joints. Their grilled pouisson is always perfectly grilled served with tasty raw onions in mustard sauce. As a Jamaican, I can attest their oxtails, curry chicken, and rice and peas is the real deal. Make sure to add a ginger beer to your meal. I don't know how they do it but please don't stop!

    This place was recommended to us by friends and I can see why. The food is absolutely flavorful and really amazing! Service was good and thought for. This place is a little whole it the wall but it makes it even better. Excited to bring my South African students and try it out.

    The take
    Richard M.

    So I'm visiting my sons in Cincinnati, Ohio and yes, I'm a food snob. (). We thought about an expensive chain, but my son said, Let's just pick up from Teranga. This place was in an obscure, small plaza, and the parking lot was packed. Great sign! Now I know why it was packed. In short, Teranga was one of the best food experiences I've ever had. Anywhere! We got Egusi & Fufu (look it up-to much to explain here), beed patties, grilled chicken, jerk chicken, oxtails, beans and rice, greens, plantain,and of course, Ting! The portions were HUGE! The food exploded with layered and distinct flavors and the meat wash deftly marinated, super tender and with a smoky, fresh grilled aroma. The oxtail gravy was world class and you can tell they really care about their product. The service was pleasant and engaging even though we were taking out. There's a relatively small eating area and it was very family friendly. The guests were a melting pot of different people clearly enjoying their food and family. We fed 6 people and everyone is very full and there are leftovers. The price was more than fair given the amount and quality of the food. This food made my palate happy! I couldn't more highly recommend this eatery. (Sorry about the pics - we were all devouring the food before I thought to take

    Jerk Chicken with cabbage and rice & peas
    Mona M.

    Oh man, writing this review makes my mouth water again thinking of how good their food is. I was taken to this place after a long flight and it was late. We got there a little after 8pm so it was coming close to their closing time. Yet we were greeted with the warmest smiles by the staff in here. They were very welcoming with bubbly personality, patiently asked if we had any questions. However my eyes were already fixated on the first item on their Jamaican menu and just couldn't help myself but ordered the Jerk Chicken. It comes with rice and peas as well as a side of cabbage. I asked for small but hot damn, the portion was massive! Honestly it would last you at least 2-3 seatings. The chicken was well-cooked and well-seasoned. It was tender and not at all tough. Very tasty. I have no idea what they put in the sauce cause that thing was addicting, bursting flavors of spices that married beautifully. I honestly couldn't stop taking a bite after another, really delicious. My companion got the Curry Chicken and he inhaled his food really fast. He had been there numerous times and told me that you could never go wrong with anything you ordered from here whether from the Senegalese or Jamaican menu. I was kicking myself a little for not taking the time to look at the other dishes as they all sound and look amazing. The restaurant itself was small inside but very well-maintained. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left the restaurant, the foot traffic for takeout was non-stop, the queue stayed long. The parking was easy with the parking lot right in front. I hope to visit here again the next time I'm in town.

    The lunch was very expensive for white rice, onions and an inedible piece of boney fish. Won't go back.

We stopped by recently for some takeout and were helped quickly at the bar. Our food came out in less than 10 minutes and the bartender was helpful and friendly while we waited. The patio was packed with people enjoying the nice weather! The parking lot in back is also a perk. We split the smash bros chickpea wrap, which was above average for a wrap but didn't make a huge impression. The menu said roasted tomatoes but the tomatoes to me seemed like just sliced Roma tomatoes. It held up and was great to go! I will note it does not come with a side and thus feels pretty expensive for the amount of food it is. The real hit was the pretzel nuggets. These have been on the menu for a while and stand the test of time. The garlic caramel is standout and the beer cheese is also delicious. We both commented we wanted to eat the extra sauce on its own at the end because it was so delicious. Tela is great to dine in or to go. With pickleball and great walking routes nearby, it's a great option to make a night of it in Wyoming! Highly recommend.

The staff are friendly and the owner is always working hard wiping tables and greeting guests. I love that the menu rotates seasonally, so there is always something new to try! Most recently, I got the Super Smash Bros wrap (chickpea salad). It's so good and healthy. I paired it with an order of the fresh cut fries. SO good. If you get fries, make sure to order the stone ground mustard aioli too. Perfect pair. Street parking is always super easy! Love eating on the covered patio.

    Great ice-cold beers, pizza, more. Playground! Indoor and outdoor seating…read more We were in town for a wedding, and we ate at MadTree Parks & Rec several times (May 2026). Our host was able to make reservations for seating areas for large numbers of people, so once we had two areas of a dozen or more, and a couple other times we had one area of that size. This flexibility was a big plus because we could only guess at how many would make it each time. We had ice-cold beers of every description, including IPAs, hazys, and other local crafts. I can't name them all, and some drafts aren on the printed menu, bu5 8 kniw we had Psychopathy, a flavorful IPA, and Seeing Colors Tropical IPA, with a sweeter / hazy profile. Dont miss their cocktails! We loved the S'More Espresso Martini: vodka, chocolate liqueur, coffee tiqueur, and espresso :-) So much yum! And we ordered various pizzas. Our favorite was the Scenic Supreme (pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, red onions, green peppers, black olives) and the Vista Veggie (about the same without the meats). I also saw friends devouring Caprese Canyon (olive oil, minced garlic, fresh mozzarella, fresh basil, roma tomatoes, balsamic drizzle). And of course regular pepperoni. Tasty crust, tasty red sauce, (you could get white sauce), generous toppings. We got the large sizes, which were enough for at least four people per pie. Sandwich-wise, the most popular was the Cuban Reuben: marble rye, corned beef, ham, swiss cheese, sauerkraut, dill pickle, and Russian dressing. It's the added ham and pickles that move it toward a Cuban sandwich. Well-stacked, hot, and flavorful. For local flavor, the Goetta sandwich: that flavorful Cincinnati oat-pork hash, with candied bacon, american cheese, pickled jalapeños, lettuce, and ranch. Here and there we shared Buffalo fried-Cauliflower with celery and ranch on the side. This was. Not as spicy as it could be. But if you're going to eat cauliflower, this is tasty approach. We like the tangy Fried Pickle Spears better, served with lightly-spicy chipotle ranch. And we added some fresh crunchy Caesar salads, too, and and amazing pecan, apple, blue cheese, cranberry salad! So many candied pecans! Somehow, the servers kept up with an erratic flow of orders from different groups, keeping track on portable devices, so it was easy for each group to settle their own bill as-needed. It may not sound like much, but it was impressively smooth and error-free. And the staff remained helpful,and cheerful throughout. They built a large playgroup area with slides and climbers and more. Inside there's a large play camper that we spent a lot of time in, too! This is a great place for fresh-air dining, for large groups, and especially for kids. We lived the food and drink. Lots of wonderful leftovers, especially those huge pizzas!

Then I thought okay it's mid week, lunch time, so I came in. I was limited on time, came in and ordered a pizza and a beer. Told the server she could serve it in the to go box since I had to go sooner than I would have liked. Service was friendly, prompt and she still checked on me after I had paid. Although the place was not busy, there was a large table with a baby and 2 pre schoolers. They were all well behaved, but still I'm always surprised that breweries are now for kids. I really liked the decor!
