We took most of our entrees home. The food was delicious and service was exceptional! I am from out of town so I do not know what the normal menu is like at Jujube as this was my first time, so will be back to try it out when it is a normal day/menu.“

“My husband and I visited Momo's Master for the first time this evening and had a wonderful experience. We tried Steamed Momo's with veggie filling served with 2 of their signature dipping sauces, and Himalayan Fried Rice (vegetarian). It was great to see the option for both masala tea and coffee on the menu, especially in a downtown Chapel Hill restaurant, therefore we had to try both Himalayan Masala Tea and Himalayan Coffee, and we were glad that we did. I usually do not write reviews but when the food is that good, I do. The momos were one of the best we have had so far and the flavors of both the signature sauces blended well with that of momos. Himalayan fried rice was hot, spicy and very good. The Punjabi guy, Sukhi, and Usha (from Nepal) - both chefs, were great; Sukhi came and asked us how everything was and ensured that it was to our liking. Both Himalayan Masala Tea and Himalayan coffee tasted good, especially Himalayan Masala Tea was really good. The place has a nice, comfortable ambiance. We look forward to visiting the restaurant again and enjoying the food in near future. Highly recommend.“

“While in town for a show @ Cat's Cradle, I stumbled across this establishment stuck in time. Eclectic UNC team photos and alumni adorn the walls and ceiling. A large assortment of soda and odds and ends can be found before entering a diner style area with an obscure pharmacy in the rear. The biscuits were good and the coffee was not bad. Service was above par, but the restrooms are dated and a bit cramped. A must stop for the UNC fan.“

If you're looking forward to their delicious Carrey cake or homemade Oreos, they are no more.“

“Stopped here for lunch, on a Tuesday around 11:15am. Place opened at 11 so it wasn’t crowded.I ordered a slice of Pepperoni Pizza ? and a canned coke, to go.Guy ringing me up was very pleasant, so I left a small tip in the tip jar. Went back to my car then parked to eat.That was one of the best Pizza slices I’ve had! The crust was excellent, the right amount of sauce, the cheese was so gooey and the pepperoni was perfectly seasoned. I did add some hot pepper flakes and some Parmesan cheese but it was so good! The picture is deceiving.And it was only $5 something!Will definitely order a large pizza next time I crave some pizza to take home.“Pizza davvero deliziosa!”“
