“Best chicken parm sandwich like ever! Some of the best Pizza in New Haven for sure! Soooo good!”
“Had the omakase for my husband’s birthday. Is it too much to call a sushi dinner transcendent? Chef Sunny blew us away with not just the flavors and textures of each piece, but the care and consideration that went into the entire experience. The value is incredible for what you receive, and we enjoyed every aspect of the meal. Ambiance is no-frills but intimate (and the place is immaculate). The staff are knowledgeable and kind. We will most certainly be coming back here again.”

And the outdoor patio space upstairs is super nice and fun environment for cocktails and Happy Hour.”
“Great menu fresh and unique ingredients. Great cocktails and wines that pair nicely with menu. Everything was cooked and presented perfectly. I had the Niman Ranch Pork Copa.

Made it a perfect Evening and the Hotel is awesome too.”

Thank you Sammy for making my visit much more quickly and enjoyable. Kid deserves a raise ? Sammy stay great!!!”

“This Peruvian food restaurant is a small location but Big in taste. They offer a large variety of dishes from different areas of Peru. Many dishes are from coastal areas. Most menu items are between $10 To $20. We had a whole Pollo a la Brasa (which is a rotisserie chicken) and some very nice empanadas. The chicken was excellent and very juicy. Not dry or rubbery at all. It came accompanied with fried plantains and fried Yucas. As a note, if you enjoy fried Yucas you would love theirs. It is one of a few places that really knows how to prepare them properly. {Boiled in salted water first and then fried). Service was excellent and they spoke both English and Spanish).”

“New Haven location had fast service & clean bathrooms. $3 Whopper & Vegetarian Impossible Whopper on Wednesdays thru app is so good.
Vegetarian options: IMPOSSIBLE WHOPPER so tasty, French fries, Onion rings along with desserts.”
“They didn't have the Philly so I got the Texas Double Whopper. It's 10 and change, but it's Big! Lot's of Jalapeños and pickles on mine which I like. The fries were freshly made and just the right amount of salt. The drivethru wasn't long and the attendee was friendly. This could have been a 5 as I really wanted to try the Philly Melt for the first time. My buddy sandwich was also good according to him. I will try again but not in Bloomfield CT ... lol.”
“While travelling through the area, I made the decision to stop at this KFC and try their Crispy Colonel sandwich. I ordered it with Buffalo sauce. It was sloppy, but sizable and tasty.This wasn't a bad choice, but I still like the pot pie better and the Famous Bowl is without a doubt, my favorite KFC menu item.I went through the drive thru and was happy to hit this place with great timing, as there was no line.”

Cheap Eats
“This place is a true gem in East Rock! Not only can you find authentic Dominican and Caribbean foods, but fresh plant based side dishes, fresh cut fruit, and everyday grocery goods as well. As homage to the previous owner, they also sell Asian products as well.
Maria and Humberto are a great team, and I’m always excited to introduce visiting friends and family to their kitchen!”
“The best soft serve ice cream I have ever had! I have to go every week!”
“Midpoint is one of those cute coffee shops one can find all over. This branch in the heart of the historic district is a nice touch. The couple of times I have been here, I found the coffee to be quite satisfactory. My one regret was in both occasions, I was in a hurry, and had to make my visit a quick in and out. I definitely loved the pastries I had. They hit the spot.

“I like the ice cream here and I like the fact that you can get a very small portion. The staff appears to be comprised of a bunch of kids who don't care very much. They would rather be texting on their phones then cleaning the tables.”
“We got the Ube cake for my birthday and got really good comments from the people who have tried it — including me and my husband. The icing is not too sweet and the cake is moist!”
“Went for lunch. It was really good, quiet, the people were nice, and good value. I got lunch special #1, my boyfriend got #2. We shared Thai dumplings, and got drinks: iced tea and Thai iced tea, with tax & 20%tip: $53.
The lunch box was good, Pad Thai was perfect. Chicken satay was tasty & hot, great peanut sauce-sweet, salty, spicy, creamy. I had never had Cashew shrimp before, it had a little kick (but I'm white and I like spice, but can't handle it. So if you like spice, ask them to bump it up a bit). They served it in a large lunch box with a big chunk of apple. It really was asking for rice. I will forego the appetizer and get a side of rice next time. I left full, it was well proportioned. My boyfriend took some pad thai home. His ginger chicken looked good, his veggie rolls were hot and crunchy, he also liked the pad thai, and when he asked for no onions and no scallions it was not a problem. His stuff arrived as requested, which is often an issue in most restaurants. The staff was super nice, they gave use fried wontons with sweet chili dipping sauce to start, and we're on top of water refills. It was hot and I was thirsty, so I probably had 5 glasses of water plus my tea. We will be back.
Dietary restrictions: Boyfriend can't have onion, shallots or scallion. It was not a problem. They were really nice about it, asked about garlic, and food arrived without onions and with garlic. No issues.
Parking: Park on the street, or park in their small lot next door. If you're looking at the front of the restaurant, it's like 1 door down on the right. There's a small red sign on the fence that says Rice Pot customers.”
“Venezuelan cuisine flavors are very unique. And to replicate the flavors is not an easy task. However the food here is nothing less than extraordinary. It feels like Venezuela. We had arepas with shredded beef. The flavors were perfectly balanced and meet was cooked to perfection. We also had the tequenos. Delicious salty cheese wrapped in Pastry and deep fried and served with salsa rosada. We also had a cachapa. The combination of the queso de Mano with the sweet flavors of the corn reminded me of my days in Venezuela. We tried papelon con limón and chicha. Both typical beverages from Venezuela. Excellent. Will return.”
“Hash is best around and the waitresses are smart and attractive ❤️❤️❤️”
“Usually their salads are delicious. But today i came by, right when they opened up (prob a mistake) and ordered a crispy chicken salad … My salad was done in about 5 mins …. ( how can chicken be cooked that fast?) Anyway, i tried to eat the salad for dinner. My croutons were stale, the bread was stale and tomatoes along with the cucumbers tasted like theve been sitting out from the night before. I doubt chicken was freshly made. I’m so disappointed. Next time i know not to come right when they open up.”
“Fantastic pizza! One of the best Gluten Free crusts I've ever had.
Attentive staff.
Brussels sprouts with bacon are amazing!
Dietary restrictions: As a Celiac, I was grateful for the gluten free labels on the menu.
Frier is not dedicated gluten free so labeling fries as GF was misleading.”
“NVM7 Brand is definitely one of a kind. I love it, everything is soft and stretchy. And it fits me so so well. I would recommend her to anyone, she is very professional and has sizes for everyone as well. You won’t be let down, you will be more than happy with your purchase.”
“I absolutely adore Blue Orchid. Their food is INCREDIBLE, the pad Thai and crab rangoons are the best I have ever had, and truthfully I have not tasted anything from the menu that isn't delicious. Great happy hour options, and they often have fun and creative drink specials that are worth checking out! This place is more than just a restaurant--its a community space, an art space, and it has become a home away from home for me. Q and Mike have done an incredible job in making Blue Orchid a safe and welcoming space not only for the queer community, but for anyone who steps foot inside their restaurant. The entire staff is so friendly and hospitable and you can tell that they really care about their customers and business. I cannot say enough good things about this place. I look forward to coming here for many years to come!”
“I enjoyed my crepe today and the pricing is great.”
“Always great fresh food! Wonderful local family providing a great product and top notch customer service!”
“The pizza is delicious!!! The manager Siobhan is absolutely incredible. Louisa at the bar is a sweetheart.”
“We had heard so many great things about this fine restaurant we had to find out for ourselves. The food was scrumptious, the portions generous. The outdoor patio looked so inviting, but it was too hot that night. Next time!”
“An absolutely fantastic spot in the heart of the East Rock area. This gem offers a diverse array of freshly prepared dishes, including chicken, crab cakes, soups, beans, vegetable quesadillas, coffee, bakery items, and more. The indoor seating area has a charming setup, creating a cozy atmosphere. Most of the food is made in-house, ensuring quality and freshness. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, adding to the overall positive experience. It's perfect for morning breakfast, a quick lunch, or an early dinner, and they also serve beer and wine. Prices are reasonable, making it a great value for the quality offered. Highly recommended!”
“Super event space, awesome staffers.”
“Everybody here especially Fatma and Kenny are excellent here. Very Friendly, respectful and supernice environment. The food is awesome, the best food you can get at a great atmosphere. When I came here first time, I got a lot of respect and attention especially from Fatma. The food quality was soooooo good (I am speechless about it). So I came back twice after that and will come again 100%. Now I feel that I have a close friend here, that I can come, meet her and the great people here and enjoy excellent food.”
“It's crazy that there aren't more of these around! Maybe I'm just dating myself by loving this atmosphere...but totally chill place and lots of fun with the old school games and some great drinks!”
“I dined at Rawa one time but I recomme the lamb chops, pita, spicy chicken wings, chicken breast on a bed of lentils.”
“The place is very cozy, it is a place to share as a couple or family. Their prices are fair and their food is of very good quality. They have a wide variety of burger options, you can also build your own burger. The liquor menu is very varied.
I recommend it! Excellent service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Good food and friendly attentive staff.”
“I give Villa Lulu a solid 4, bordering on 5, but I'm so fussy, it's probably a 5. I save 5's for something so amazing I just can't describe it. After a brief snafu with who our waiter was, the staff was super accomodating with everything. They kept their promise to get us to the show on time. So, service ended up a 5 but started as a 2 or 3. Food, we had a variety of salads and appetizers, two main courses for 4 of us. All were very good., to excellent Atmosphere, 4, and I only detract because we had to walk up a steep flight of stairs to the dining room, so if you are physically unable to make the stairs, your options will be limited. There is al fresco dining but it was too cold. I am sincerely looking forward to returning and trying more options at a more leisurely pace because it's the type of place where you can actually carry on a conversation without the clatter of dishes and the intrusion of others' conversations. It's very warm and cozy and would be good for a romantic dinner. Reminds me of "The Big Night" kind of vibe.”
“Amazing. Every. Single. Time.
I’ve been coming here for almost two years now and I’ve never had a negative experience.
Kid-friendliness: My kids (16M, 12F) love eating here as well.”
“I absolutely adore Junior's drinks (best bartender) at the bar, and Noa's warmth and hospitality always make me feel right at home. It's my favorite spot to go after a long day. Absolutely go there.”
“The food is super tasty and the service is very nice.”
“Located near Modern Apizza, Next Door is an attractive option for those looking to satisfy their apizza craving, while also being able to accommodate others with a varied menu.
While their apizza is definitely missing that special something that the legacy restaurants have, I would recommend Next Door to those who are looking for alternatives in the area.”
“Great sushi, and the dinner plates are creative and delicious. My favorite Kosher sushi in CT, and better than most places in NYC and Long Island… Easily the best by price.”
“Ben is an amazing sushi chef! Friendly, creative, and like watching an artist! Enjoyed our sushi bar experience! Thank you!”
“This is the perfect little breakfast spot! The raspberry bombolone was decadent, and a great staff recommendation!! I will definitely be back next time I’m in New ”
“Fried shrimp seasoned perfectly and the BEST onion rings ❤️”
“Excellent from appetizers to desserts.”
“The food is excellent, so full of flavor!”
“We just had our daughter’s wedding and Mr Singh and his team outdone themselves. They are the best I will recommend anyone. Food was excellent and everyone enjoyed the food and service”
“Service and food were fantastic! Nice drink menu too!”
“The food was amazing and so were the drinks! Great place”
“First off, Brooke is awesome!!! She have great drink and food recommendations. We went for the first time last night and ordered the KFC (Korean fried chicken) and it was amazing. The carrots and cucumber on it made the sandwich refreshing and it was our first time having a fluffy bun. I ordered the spicy miso and subbed the pork with chicken and my bf ordered the pho (can't remember what kind). My ramen was the right amount of spice and the noodles were cooked to perfection. He said his meal was also really good. I can't remember the name of the drinks we ordered but they were delicious. I just wish they had desserts.”
“The place is very sophisticated and neat. The customer service was A1 and the waitresses were very friendly. Additionally, the decoration of the restaurant represents Peruvian culture in great detail and is reflected in the delicious dishes we order. I won't be able to stop recommending this restaurant.”
“The pizzas are personal small (small) so my friends and I ordered three different ones…..OMG they all were fantastic!!!”
