"That was one of, if not the best Gryo I have ever had. It had a lot of thick strips and chunks of very well cooked Gryo meat. I spent that extra $1.99 for extra meat and hell yeah for $1.99 it was definitely worth it and I'm definitely going to be ordering from here again. Give it a try, trust me you won't be disappointed."
"I ordered two Chicken Shawerma Sandwich سندويش شاورما دجاج wraps in tomato basil flats, a double cheeseburger, and two beef meat pies-- large.
Everything was good, except for the meat pies. They don't look anything like the photo at all and were very light with the beef filling. I took pictures, but there's no accommodation to upload here. They were not bulging "pillows" with an open square in the middle, but were overlapping flaps of dough. No pine nuts, either. I would think that less than half a cup of beef was inside the folded dough, as there was empty space at the folds. It would be charitable to describe them as MEDIUM, not large.
I was very disappointed. I would not order them again.
Would like to get a refund for them, in fact.
The Double Cheeseburger was above average, with a goodly amount of tomato, lettuce, onion, etc. The Chicken Shawerma Sandwich wraps were superb, better than ones I bought from a different restaurant. I will probably order the wraps again.
So, the lack of consistency is the overall problem.

"This is my first time trying this place. I was craving the comfort food of my people - sinigang baboy for today's rainy day and lechon kawali. Both were delicious and truly exceeded my expectations. They were exactly what I wanted. The sinigang was the right sour and still piping hot (even with the hour delivery time which I didn't mind because it was clearly communicated from the beginning). Same with the lechon kawali, it was still crispy and the mang Tomas dipping sauce was a bonus. As a bonus to the delicious food, the price points were very reasonable and I feel like I got great value for my meal. I highly recommend this place and I can't wait to order again from this restaurant the next time I crave Filipino food!!! "
"The Sotanghon was delicious and serving size waa very generous. Lots of vegetables but not too much meat. The Sinigang (Baboy) was also a generous serving (head's up, it's very sour, which i like). The Tokwa't Baboy was pretty good, too !"

"This was my first try with african cuisine, and Im so glad I picked this place. The Spinach & Egusi Stew was special with lots of flavor. I ordered with chicken, I received two large drumsticks, they were juicy, fried (not breaded) and it added such a nice crisp and char to the dish. Also a good amount of spice! but it wasnt too much spice for me and im usually a mild spice person. Would reccommend to anyone curious about egusi"
"Spinach & Egusi Stew:
The stew was extremely oily, and the flavor just wasn't to my taste. On the positive side, it was cooked thoroughly, and you could tell care was taken with the preparation.
Turkey Tail (Tsofi):
For the price they're charging, this felt like a rip-off. You can buy a whole pack of turkey tails at the grocery store for about the same price and get much more. What was served were just small, bite-sized pieces coated in suya seasoning, which didn't feel like a good value."

"We've been ordering and visiting Ethiopian Diamond for over 20 years. The food is incredible. While we sometimes order spicier options, our favorites are the 29. Tikel Gomen and the 15. Doro Tibs Alicha (Mild). We love that there are so many vegetable options, and we often order the 39. Veggie Combo so we can get a variety. The food is consistently good and always fresh. The portions are large and great for sharing. Recommend ordering extra Regular Injera Bread. Everything tastes amazing. 10/10 we will certainly order again. Food is priced well, great value."
"My first time trying Ethiopian food, and this was incredible!! The meat on the E2. Meat Sampler (For One) was so tender and heavily spiced, and the Regular Injera Bread is perfect, more tangy than I was expecting but delish. My favorite part of the sampler was actually the greens! So stewed and filling...plus, the portions are generous for the price and the sambusa was SO crispy!
Also... HIGHLY recomment the D3. Chocolate Diamond*. A perfect ending for the meal - the chocolate wasn't sickly sweet, and the fried chips were perfect.
I will definitely be ordering from here again!!"

I shared with my family and they loved it as well. "
"The red snapper was barely large enough to feed two people AND it was dry/overcooked. I can do much better for $32. Do yourselves a favor and try the Nile's snapper (when it's available) and take some notes. I gave two stars because my husband liked the plantains. They were good, but I prefer a bias cut.

"ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS 😋"
"I didn't really care for the chicken. This was my first time trying this restaurant. It was a little dry and lacked flavor. Even the jerk sauce tasted weird to me. The rice and peas were dry and the cabbage would have been the highlight if it wasn't a little salty. Even the chicken in the salad was dry. The only good food I received was the Beef Patty and Ribs with the honey sauce I ordered on the side. Plantains were also tasty as well. Otherwise I'm fine with not ordering from this place again. $70 wasted."

The filling inside Siopao (4 Pcs) is slightly sweet and the bread is super soft and pillowy after following the reheating instructions, the Philippine Cheese Rolls (6 Pcs) aren't overly sweet and a bit addictive, the Deluxe Ensaymada is delicious in all varieties, the Longanisa Bun is a perfect little savory snack, and Mango Bango (16 oz) is worth it even though I'm lactose intolerant."
"The ube Deluxe Ensaymada was perfectly balanced between bread and ube filling. The Pork Tocino Roll (Each) was delicious when I warmed it up in the toaster oven. Tasted like something I would get back home. The traditional ensaymada was perfect as is or warmed up. Overall amazing! Extremely happy!"

"Absolutely delicious. The green sauce was so good on both the shrimp and the steak. Yum"
"Chicken soup had good taste but was just chicken and broth. Would not order again. Wish it had some veggies maybe even noodles or side of rice.
The Pepito Sandwich was nothing special. The salsa really was the only thing that made it somewhat better.

"It has so many vegan and vegetarian options. Consistently delicious and well prepared. The samosas are amazing, crisp and full of flavor. The naan bread is cooked perfectly always. This is my no. 1 go-to for a good variety of Indian cuisine. I highly recommend it."
"87. Fish Chilli Masala - (Spicy - Dish) Is good. more of like a chunky tomato stew? but still tastes good. 67. Chicken Makhani (Butter Chicken) I think I was given Tikka Masala instead but very good taste and tender meat. highly recommend! 16. Chicken Pakora was a bit of disappointment. in other places it's a little more dough or batter involved. this is like juat fried chicken tender slices. taste ok but not what I expected. 119. Bhatura AMAZING. how can you not love friend bread. its just like a fried Naan. not many places do it so very excited they do it and do it right. HUGE piece"
