“From start to finish, our experience was absolutely outstanding. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and every detail from the service to the food was top notch. The new owners went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, checking in throughout the evening and truly making us feel like valued guests. The chef is nothing short of incredible. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. You can tell there’s a deep passion and talent behind the menu especially if you’re a fan of French Mediterranean cuisine, which was executed to perfection. Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for an elevated yet cozy dining experience. A must visit spot that I’ll definitely be returning to!”

“I’ve ordered a few times all great experiences. Today I ordered in store at the kiosk and picked up, got home and although i got two combos (lamb k jerk chicken) upon eating the first few bites I realized both were only jerk chicken. I called however their voicemail isn’t set up. I wish someone could call me back and offer some kind of assistance/ discount 😩

UPDATE: The customer service team reached out to me immediately after my original review, apologized for the mix-up, and offered to make things right by replacing our two combo platters.

I stopped by Saturday night and showed the staff the email. They immediately knew what I was referring to, apologized again for the previous experience, and took care of my order with no hassle or confusion. My food came out quickly, the customer service was great, and the food quality was great as usual!

I really appreciate how quickly they responded to my concerns and that the same level of care carried over when I returned to the restaurant. Mistakes happen, but how a business responds matters. They addressed the issue immediately, made the resolution easy, and followed through on exactly what they promised. Definitely appreciated!”

SOMA SWEETS 58 Vose Avenue, South Orange Village Ice Cream Shop

“We ordered my son’s birthday cake from SOMA Sweets about a month ago, and the entire experience exceeded expectations. Steve managed to bring my 5-year-old’s very specific “Venom cake” vision to life on short notice, and it came out better than we imagined.

He also partnered with another great local business, Bakes By Izzy, to make it happen. The cake looked incredible and tasted even better.

If you’re looking for an amazing custom ice cream cake, these are your people.”

Beef Patty w Cheese

“Oh my goodness! These patties are so delicious! I bought one curry chicken and one beef. They were both so flaky. When I went, they had just come out of the oven. The curry chicken was my favorite, not because the beef wasn't good. It was delicious too. I just hadn't had a curry chicken patty before. I want to go back today, just looking at the pictures. The lady serving them was so lovely. She made the experience extra memorable. Highly, highly recommend. I will definitely be back soon, if not today. 😁”

“I’d been here previously just for bubble tea tonight I ordered a Poke Bowl, purple rice with scallops, spicy salmon, and shrimp, Cucumber, toppings were mango, avocado, sesame seeds, crispy onions nions, masago, and acallions.

The portion was really nice, enough to share a few bites and still have leftovers. I will definitely return, the amount of food for the cost was well worth it! The fish is fresh and a nice variety is offered. I’ll have to rotate through. I’ll also make adjustments to the toppings. I had a Taro milk tea. My partner ordered pork buns and we both remarked how much better they were than other places we really enjoy them from. We definitely plan to return Sorry to only post my food,”
