“I don't usually write long Google reviews, but after attending a buddy’s wedding in North Jersey recently, I had to drop one for this place.
Honestly, I’m not even a big cake guy, but the dessert setup at the reception caught my attention right away. They had this huge, multi-tiered custom wedding cake that looked awesome really clean work, not over the top, just super high quality. My wife and I were actually talking about how great it looked before they even cut into it.
When we finally got our slices, I expected the usual wedding cake thing: looks great, tastes like dry cardboard or straight sugar. But man, this thing was actually insane. Super moist, fresh, and tasted legit. I finished mine in about two minutes and ended up grabbing half of my wife’s slice too. It was so good I walked over to the groom during the party just to ask where they got it. He told me they had it custom designed at D’era House.
Finding a cake designer around North Jersey that makes something that actually tastes as good as it looks is pretty rare. I saved their info on my phone right then and there for our next family event.
If you’re looking for a solid wedding cake designer, custom made tiered cakes, or custom event cakes in Clifton or anywhere in the area, D’era House is 100% the real deal. Props to the baker! 💍🍰💪“

“Was in Harlem and wanted some good food, this place popped up. We called before going, and was told that there was not a wait. Arrived just 5 minutes later and that was not the case. The host was pleasant, offered us cornbread and water while we waited. Our server was lack luster, she was so busy being busy she completely missed the mark at every opportunity. The food took a while to come out but it was good. Atmosphere comfortable. Would be willing to try again.“

“Hands down best soul food spot in NYC“

“Do a walk-in during weekday morning/breakfast hours - we did not have any wait and got to see the Chef Ok Dongsik too!

Dweji gomtang was outstanding. I can eat this every day if I could.

Kimchi mandoos were really good. - how thin the skin was but held all the filling was impressive. They steam them from frozen but still taste super fresh!

When I come back next time, I don't know if I need to get the kimchi mandoos again but the dweji gomtang 🤌🤌🤌“

Thanks Sis you nailed it. Respectfully A SouthPhilly Native“

“Everything on my plate tasted good, and I didn’t get to eat it till it was cold! There was a buffet which I found surprising and they charge by the pound - about $8/lb. The little butterflied fried shrimp tasted the best. Delish… The chicken had a very good flavor- fried and bbq. They have a homemade hot sauce, it has a good flavor, tastes like pepper sauce, meaning habanero/scotch bonnet . Only a little is needed not to overpower.. And it is Hawt!! 🌶️ If you like sweet greens, that’s what they have. I prefer no sweet but they were still good. The only con was, you could see the old glory days that must have been in there. The decor especially in the bathroom is a lil dull grunge unfortunately in need of a little love and maintenance. I would still eat here again though. That’s the only reason they didn’t get a 5

Here is the biggest PRO… a budget tip : If you’re headed to LGA, LaGuardia airport especially with a large family stop here… get your plate instead of the $20 plate at the airport. Large variety of tasty options Good to go“

“A Chelsea market classic 👌🏾 some of the best oxtail and jerk in NYC 😋 Staff is super kind and service is quick, you can sit down to have a red stripe or sorrel with your meal and they treat you like family ✊🏾“

“If you have a taste, for some great home cooking, make your way to Maggie's! A small family run joint, where the food is made with soul and love! The meatloaf, yams and greens, are crave worthy and the cabbage, mac n cheese and ribs will make you wish you bought more! I have eaten Soul Food, from way South to NYC, in homes and restaurants and Maggie's rates up there with some of the most delicious, I've had. As they say down South, "they put their feet in that food"!!!“

“The food was excellent. Thank you Earl. I will be back.“

“Amazing food, an enthusiastic and gracious host. Great live music greets you at the door. Wonderful experience!“
