Restaurants in East Orange

“Everything I ordered so good.”

“Uber driver mistakenly gave me someone else’s breakfast order 😡 Called Poppies and they explained and couldn’t do much because it was the driver’s fault. The ladies who answered were still kind and apologetic about it. Ended up eating the other person’s sandwich anyway lol It was good even though not what I’d ever eat. 🤎”

“I am giving the soul food experience here a 5 out of 5. Or a 12 out of 10. Each platter is Huge- enough to feed 2 people!!!! I ordered the fried Whiting with potato salad and candy Ames. It came with 4 to 5 pieces of fish, 2 pieces of bread, generous sides and cornbread. It was delicious!!. I would not recommend the curry chicken if you are looking for a true, jamaican curry period that curry here was dark and thick, like other caribbean islands, possibly trinidad, make it, and that's not what we like. You definitely want to order in.advance.. as each order is made fresh- IT IS WORTH THE WAIT!!!... there is no seating or indoor dining. Straight take out.”

“Best wings nice hot amd fresh fried to perfection crispy yummy the best in nj very hot wings not old or stale love y’all the best in NJ ✨✨✨✨🔥❤️❤️💯💯💯‼️‼️”

“Drinks are really tasty!!! I dropped my drink and they gave a me a new one for free which they did not have to do . i really appreciate it. overall good drinks and experience”

“friendly peoples like the food clean restaurant”

“The treats are divine! There are so many flavors available in their rich banana pudding (standard, strawberry, biscoff***, pistachio, cookies & cream, lemon, etc). The cake is so moist and the frosting is light and airy. The women here are so kind, bubbly, and sweet (hence the name of the shop) 💕

Please stop at this place, but make sure y’all leave enough for the rest of us! XD”

“I LOVE LOVE LOVE THEIR FOOD. l EAT HERE EVERY WEEKEND AND IM NOT EVEN HAITIAN. I GET THE FRIED PORK AND BLACK RICE. I LOVE IT!! But I must admit the lady that’s there attitude sucks really bad. It’s to the point I may have to give up my Saturday pleasure. I can’t take somebody making me feel like I’m bothering them and I’m just here to get some food. Please tell her to fix her attitude ASAP”

“Get the large oxtail w/ candied yams and mac n cheese. You wont regret it.

Their jerk chicken is also spicy as hell but delicious 🌶️ 🐔”

“Fatu’s kitchen did not disappoint! I had the potato greens with rice and my hubby had Jollof rice with chicken. The food was very tasty and hot. Our server was patient and polite and the restaurant was decent, and a lot bigger than how it looks from the outside.”

“Charlies restaurant is a great tasting little gem in the town of East Orange. The waffles are delicious. The potatoes are delicious they make the eggs just right I really enjoy eating food from Charlies. The owner has always been kind to me, as well as the young ladies behind the counter. Always great food always great prices and the best uptown and Midtown drinks that I’ve had.”

“100 percent recommendation”

“The most delicious Dominican cake that can be found in NJ, and the tastiest and most quality picaderas. I invite you to come try and the good thing is that they have home delivery.”

“This is a hood Hidden Jen don’t let that looks fool you when pulling up to the corner but I’ve been coming here since 1983, some of the best fried fish around they have porgies whiting and they also do fried chicken Also, love the potato wedge fries, any day of the week it’s a good eat. I love this place and the way to Fish tales.”

“This place has been my to go spot when picking up patties for party’s, gatherings, etc. Their patties aren’t big and square like the typical Haitian patties; it’s more rectangular and portion controlled. My only thing is - is the pickup for phone orders. You can call and place an order but expect to wait a bit when you arrive. In my opinion it’s pointless to even call for the order but the patties are tasty so it’s worth it for me.”

“Delicious food!! Since I don't eat meat, I appreciate when the slicer is cleaned prior to my cheese being sliced. Sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't. The food is absolutely delicious though!!!”

“I’ve been eating at Mamas for years and I have never been disappointed. The food is always great and made fresh. 10/10 customer service.”

“The food was ? delicious and not super pricey. There was a bit of a wait. I feel like it was worth while. They've been in business for years..

Vegetarian options: I asked for vegetable fried rice instead of chicken fried rice with my combo. It's also Halal for those that don't eat pork.”

“I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE ?. PRICE, SERVING AND PRESENTATION...10's across the board. My fave is the chicken taco bowl.

The food is extremely good too, thumbs up for them!”

“Jamaican cuisine out of this world !! Beef , Chicken , and Veggie Patties. Spicy Buns .. Coco bread plus more”

“This place is a gem!! a must eat!! We found it through Uber Eats and ordered 1x. It was so good. The portions were amazing. Portions are like something grandma would serve her hungry kids. We visited and now I frequent it almost daily! Homefries platter is not for the faint of heart. You've got to have a hearty appetite or share it out. Grits platter...well...something of a southern treasure! Beef bacon egg and cheese sandwich is always a perfect on the run, goodie! We tried the shrimp over rice and that was nice. Chicken over rice was even better as it had a slight kick to it. And again, no matter what you order, bring a healthy appetite cause you're gonna need it and a long nap, after! These guys are amazing!! Truly! They're sweet! They're efficient! They can throw down on that gril!! Yummmmm Oh...and if you've never had it, their lemon ginger drink is amazeballs!! This place really is a gem in the middle of a jungle 😆 Visit them and be kind! Far too many ppl are not kind or feel entitled to speak to them ill mannered. Please don't! These guys really are good people and their food speaks for itself. Thank you gentlemen for always providing the best!!”

“Ordered curry chicken very flavorful and good portion for ten bucks I will return Restaurants are getting killed their costs have doubled since covid”

“Great chicken. Would highly recommend putting the sides in separate containers, as combining everything in one, cheap styrofoam container causes the sides and sauces to spill onto each other. Quite annoying.”

“Friendly staff, good food! The fried whiting and grits are delicious!!!”

“Best buffalo wings I ever had the best in the city definitely better than wing stop the wings are fresh I got the 12pc with fries it last me 1day full of flavors it’s crispy and with the blue cheese it’s the best like wow I highly recommend you try this place you won’t be disappointed now I know where to order my wings and pizza from on new years y’all stay blessed 🙏🏿❤️🙏🏿❄️ have a merry Christmas and a happy new year”
