“Listen RUN dont WALK to Tatiana's! Once you can get that reservation make sure you go! I went for my brother's birthday dinner and EVERYTHING from the ambiance to the drinks to the food was excellent. The staff was very nice also, and the management was top tier! I will definitely be back. We literally tried everything on the menu except 4 things! Oh and the dessert ....THE GOLDEN RUM CAKE AND THE BODEGA SPECIAL was EVERYTHING!!!! Will dine again VERY SOON!Dietary restrictions: The waiter or waitress asks if the table has any allergies!Parking: The later you go in the day the easier to find parking on the street. If you go earlier in the day go to a parking garage!“

“The food was very good. Very tasty with good portions. We ordered the jollof rice with goat, it was very flavorful with nice big chunks of goat. We started with pepper soup, the soup had a nice kick to it . I found it a bit spicy but that's just my taste buds. The restaurant is fun and vibrant. The staff is very attentive and friendly. The only issue we had was that the server was very confused and routinely brought the wrong food to our table or didn't bring our order to the table at all. The other servers helped him out, but it did cause a bit of a delay.“

“I happened to be walking by on Sunday so stopped in for lunch. I’m so glad I did - this place is awesome! I haven’t had much West African food but it was all very flavorful and well prepared. They have a number of sets you can order that come with a meat and a couple sides - I went with the yassa grilled chicken and it was delicious. It’s in the African cultural center and I found the space really nice abd decorated with beautiful photography. I’ll be back!“

“Having traveled all the way from Canada, our visit to this restaurant was truly extraordinary. The service stood out immediately, with our waitress providing insightful menu explanations and excellent recommendations for our group of four, which turned out to be spot on.The food itself was outstanding. From appetizers to main courses, each dish was bursting with flavor and spices that made every bite a delight. Eating with our hands added an extra layer of enjoyment, engaging all our senses in the experience. Even those in our group who weren't vegan were thoroughly impressed.The restaurant's cozy and welcoming atmosphere added to the overall charm. The local artwork on the walls and the vibrant colors created a warm and inviting ambiance.We'll definitely be returning to this hidden gem. The combination of excellent service, delicious food, and inviting atmosphere makes it a must-visit for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience. Highly recommended!“

So I visited here on Tuesday night.One little thing from my own perspective : Weird restroom ?Downstairs (bit steep stairs) and you can watch people preparing food near the restroom entrance ? wasn’t a big deal for me but I thought it was interesting to watch the cooking area.“

“(Once again I'm asking that you don't allow my horrible photography skills to color your impression of the food I review, but anyway) This place is great! Ordered online and it was ready the minute it said it would be. The man who gave me my order was very nice, the space is beautiful, as is the food. Ordering extra injera was overkill on my part, but it's delicious, so I'm not complaining. Ethiopia has truly mastered vegetarian food, and Awash has a great selection. A true celebration of spice and seasoning and all the best things vegetables can be. Don't miss the Gomen, their collard greens were absolute perfection. I can rest easy knowing I've found my go-to spot for NYC Ethiopian food.Vegetarian options: To be among their vegetarian selection is among the highest honor a vegetable can achieve“

“I ate at Queen of Sheba, an Ethiopian restaurant, and really enjoyed it. The place felt warm and welcoming. They have a lot of traditional Ethiopian food to choose from. I tried a mix of different dishes with something called injera, a kind of bread that you use to pick up the food. The food had a lot of flavors, spicy but not too much.The people working there were very nice and helped us choose what to eat. They seemed happy to share their food and culture with us.The meal wasn't too expensive, and I got to try lots of things. Portion sizes were good enough to make us pack leftovers.“

“What would a nice Jewish boy from the Bronx know about Senegalese food? Enough to know a FANTASTIC restaurant when he eats in one. Africa Kine's Dibe Mutton--marinated, spiced lamb chops--are simply off-the-charts. Also wonderful is the Pintade, which in Union Square Market is called "guinea fowl" and sells for $20/lb.It is as though an entire chicken were dark meat, and at Africa Kine it is roasted to perfection. And the whole fried snapper was delectable. Order two entrees for three people, because portions here are very generous. Did I mention the Joloff rice? It is magnificent. The dining room of the restaurant is simple and homey, and you see families, and girls' night out, and some men eating alone, all in a welcoming space that feels like a tavern, minus the alcohol. All three times I visited my waiter was the astute Papui (I am not spelling it correctly) whose bouncing braids crown a very smart head and a megawatt smile. He contributes no small part to what gives you the feeling you have discovered a great place at Africa Kine. Now if I could just learn to pronounce Ngalakh. HIghly recommended.“

“A good place to get Ethiopian food if you're in UWS. We came in after a while and the quality of the food remains quite good. Though we were a bit disappointed to see that the prices have increased 25-30% since about a year back. So a sampler for two would cost you $50 (vs $38 earlier).“

Cross Culture Kitchen African • $$
62 E 116th St, New York

“I live in town and have eaten here many times over the years and have always been satisfied. We usually do takeout. We got takeout here most recently on a Saturday night and the food was excellent as always. We got the chicken korma, chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, an appetizer sampler, and the lamb karahi. The food was ready quickly and was all perfect. In regards to spice, my girlfriend usually likes a little kick to her food and ordered hers medium, but had extreme difficulty eating her food as it was too spicy for her. The restaurant itself is a big, spacious room with great ambience. Located right in downtown Haddonfield and is BYOB; there are a few places close by to buy wine, beer or cocktails to bring to dinner with you. As others mentioned, you'll pay a bit more than your average Indian restaurant; this is typical of most places in Haddonfield, but the quality is good.“

They also have gun powder tea which is a staple in west Africa and is a great strong pick me up. Great people, great banter with the old heads in there, and just a nice atmosphere. We felt right at home. Merci a vous tous ??“
