It’s unfortunate that I spent $60 and received something not worth it in anyway. I do not know what changed in your restaurant. Please did you change your cook? I have eaten your food more than 3 times prior to yesterday. They were good. The one I bought yesterday was so bad looking, tastes bad, some meat tastes bad, and the pepper in it was blazing like a fire tunnel.

Infact I have been in and out the restroom as if I ate a food poison. I had to take a medication.

I don’t usually give a bad review, but this is so disturbing, couldn’t sleep last night and might stay out of work today.

Please fix your kitchen.

It's cool , it's big ,it's like a big open, sports bar , they need to expand their menu with more American food choices for non African people!!!

Parking: $20 for parking lot right next to the club

I always have a good time when I go to Origin! I also feel like it's always very crowded upstairs on a Friday/Saturday. Upstairs is supposed to be VIP area. The food is good but they need to keep the consistency because sometimes it's not always as good. The service from waitresses is somewhat slow but I guess it depends on the night. Other than that Origin is one of the African Clubs I enjoy going to. Also after 11pm you have to pay to get in. Usually it's $10 or $20.

Was seated at one of their tables with friends. I must have asked 3 different people who worked there for a drink. Not one of them returned with a drink. They would act like they are going to get the requested drink, then nothing. What a shame.

They were also so rude when requesting payment from our party.
