“My wife and I just got married here this past weekend (09/03/23). Right front the start Kayleigh was amazing, got right back to us answering all of our crazy questions. She was on point durning all the months of preparation. We met Jose, banquet manager, at our private taste testing. Wonderful. After we ate he sat with us and answered every question we had. A week before the wedding, we brought all of our decorations to them. We met Kayleigh and Jose. They went threw all of our stuff and labeled so there were no mistakes. We set up how we wanted things and Jose took pictures so he would know. The day before the wedding we had the rehearsal. Sorta disorganized. We knew there was another wedding, but we were told to get there at a certain time so it wouldn’t be an issue. Had to move to a different area because it was an issue. Didn’t want my fiancé to know, but I was getting nervous about the wedding day. The next day we arrived for the wedding. As soon as we got there we were greeted by Ivan. He was absolutely superb!! He made that night perfect. He got us food, he always asked us if everything is ok and even went to the bar for us!!! He was amazing. The ceremony through the end of the reception flowed perfect. Right on with everything. If there were issues, which I don’t believe there was, they handled them perfect. Every single person that attended told us how beautiful the place was and that it was one of the best weddings they have ever been to. At the end of the night, Ivan packed up all the left over food for us. Told us to go and enjoy the rest of the evening and come back tomorrow for all your stuff. The next day we went to get all of our stuff and it was perfectly packaged, set aside for us. There are so many places out there that charge a fortune and it is just ok. This is the opposite, the pricing was fair, and you get 10 times more than what you paid for. Very Highly Recommended!“
“Everything I have tried so far has been absolutely fresh and delicious. Tonight I had Sudanese Falafel. I paired it with yogurt dill dipping sauce, lemon couscous and sliced organic mini tomatoes with cracked sea salt, EVOO and fig infused balsamic vinegar. Absolutely wonderful.“
“Afro-Tina came to my wedding on Saturday, October 8th. Their food is so delicious! The empanadas (including tres leches), jerk salmon, sazon chicken, and bbq cauliflower were excellent! Not only is their food flavorful, their staff is super friendly. I can’t thank Ohioma enough for his help. He made me feel at ease. If you choose to go with Afro-Tina, you will be in good hands. Hiring them was the best decision I made for my wedding.“

“Where do I start... I'm a huge oatmeal fan and this by far is the BEST oatmeal I have had at a restaurant. Everything here is cooked to order and is so fresh. The egg sandwich was so delicious with bacon and caramelized onions on pumpernickel bread. It was amazing... And I'm definitely coming back. If you are in New Haven looking for great food then you must come here!“
“Incredible homemade deliciousness! Wow. This was our first time there and we asked for whatever they had ready. We got two dinner plates that included: ribs, shredded chicken, sweet potatoes, macaroni and chess, collard greens, onion and cornbread. Just wow. Clearly homemade from some longtime family recipes. 5/5 stars and then some. HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND.“
“The place is great and has improved since my last visit. This Est. has been around a while now and it's always a go to for alot of people in the neighborhood. Especially busy in the morning time before people head off to work. For lunch I would recommend their Pernil with yellow rice and beans. Or their Pernil sandwich. You can never go wrong with that combo.“
“Koffee? Is exactly what you would want in a local coffee shop. they have great fare, and offer local artists and musicians a place to showcase their talent. you may also sometimes find a nationally known act here, you never know, Absolutely patronize this joint. You won't regret it.“
“This was simply the best experience we could have imagined. They were super easy to deal with to set our event up. On the day of our event the staff arrived and literally took care of everything. The pizza was outstanding and everyone couldn't stop talking about how delicious it was. The staff was top notch, super friendly and made sure everyone was enjoying the pizza. They also cleaned up everything before they left. A 10/10 experience. Will definitely use them again in the future.“
