The food and drinks here were amazing! Best jollof rice in the Albany area in my opinion. The service and ambiance was really great as well! Will definitely be coming back in the near future!
Very overpriced. The cocktail was bad. It tasted like a $2 can of Clubtails. The food is okay.

This was truly an exceptional experience. All three dishes we tried were excellent. The red bean stew, Asa Wat, and the curry tofu. Plantains, Moroccan slaw and house ginger beer - fantastic. The food was so good we ordered dessert even though we were stuffed. Also, fantastic. The flavors were complex and not to be easily replicated. Highly recommend.
Vegetarian options: A separate vegan menu is available
Food was really good but a bit overpriced for the area, the venue and the service. If it had slightly better prices, we think it could pull in many more clients! We got the oxtail and the short ribs but if you had to pick one, pick the short ribs!

I had the Curry Q dish with a side of plantains. The food here is so filling and reminds me of my Caribbean routes. Everything tastes so fresh. The ginger beer was great for my digestion. I recommend this place and will bring people here in the future.

Extraordinary place. East & West African & Caribbean selections I crave and never would expect in U.S. I had a scrumptious plantain cocktail. Afro-Carib mixology? Brilliant!! I could go back and try something else every night of the week. And Chris & staff could not have been more warm and welcoming. Diversity of diners--black, brown, white--,a testament to multicultural success.

Amazing food with kind and attentive staff. I highly recommend Umana.
Went for the second time tonight. Exceptional food with flavors you don't often find, especially at this level. Every dish I tried was a symphony that came together beautifully. Can't wait to come back again
