“I ordered Mac n chz, rice and peas with stew chicken, I received my order in less than 10 minutes, the food was amazing, the looks of the store it self, had me wanting to turn back around and walk out, however, it was highly recommended, do I tried it and glad that I did“

“The server was Great and personable. The wings in Flambo sauce were tasty and especially nice appetizer. Beef curry was tender and well prepared.“

“This was my second time getting platters and they did not disappoint. The food is delicious! You can’t go wrong with any of the items on the menu. The portion size is amazing. You can absolutely have a medium platter for two meals. The service is excellent. Overall, great experience across the board.“

“When I tell you this food is so good. I had the oxtail platter. I have never taste anything like that before. Now I had oxtails before, but these were so tender and seasoned so well. They fell off the bone. So tender. I didn’t even get to pull off. My plan was to take them home and enjoy. I snuck a bite and couldn’t stop. I’m a customer for life. I’m not going anywhere. Y’all are great. This is my first time. I’m sending some more people yall way.“

“All I can say is WOW. From the moment I walked into Solange's establishment, I knew I was in for a treat and treat is an understatement. Everything was tidy & clean which is something I really look for. Solange is so warm and both her and her staff have amazing customer service. I ordered a medium oxtail plate with rice & peas & plantains and it was the best plate of oxtail l've ever had... homemade or restaurant. The oxtail was falling off the bone and Solange gave me a little gravy pool to mix in with my rice(I didn’t even have to ask for extra gravy 🥹) The portions were healthy and I was able to share. The plantains were sweet and freshly fried. Everything else looked SOOO GOOD especially the roti. I literally cannot say enough good things and I'm not exaggerating. I tried both the homemade pineapple ginger and the passionfruit both were so delicious. The passion fruit was heavenly. Just go. Try everything for me and report back. You won't be disappointed! ✨✨✨“

“Good food and good people 👍🏾“

“Great music, food and atmosphere! Tvs are set in place so you can watch your favorite sport that's playing live!“

“The food has such an authentic taste I love the oxtails they're so meaty and very tender with lots of flavor. Customer service is always superb and the prices aren't too bad. I remember them from before the relaunch and even then it wasn't too bad, ,but now it's even better I hope they continue to serve such delicious food I really do enjoy visiting this spot“

“I DIDNT WANT TO ONE STAR,
However , I have been to this place, all times of the day , all days of the week, when Google says it’s open, never have I met this place open.
Maybe update business to temporarily closed ?
The phone number you also have on Google doesn’t seem to work ?“

“Overall the food is tasty. I have had their Chicken Curry, Stewed Chicken, Rice and Peas, String Beans, Mac n Cheese. Definitely more of a "hole in the wall spot." The space is dark, quiet and not particularly welcoming, but you can order food and you can tell they can cook. It is defintiely better than other spots in the city. Id recommend folks get it "To Go." They have Caribbean drinks to buy too.“

“I love Zion's Cuisine. It is a neighborhood gem and I will miss it if/ when I move out. I usually get brown stew chicken, beef stew, or pepper steak. The food is affordable, delicious, and healthy, and a large platter is good for 2-3 big meals (I do use rice from home to stretch it). Zion's is my go-to when I don't have the time or energy to make something decent for myself.No restaurant review is complete without a criticism, so: I wish they made it clear what is available each day. This goes for all Jamaican spots, but it seems like every day there is something they don't have. Knowing what's available with an updated list (instead of an interrogation at the order counter) would also give me the opportunity to try dishes I haven't before, such as their soups and breakfast items.Also, although their cabbage is the best Jamaican cabbage I've ever had, when I get cabbage and greens as sides I wish they would put my greens in the little slot for sides instead of always the cabbage. I end up with enough cabbage for two meals but only one meal worth of greens. Maybe greens are more expensive for them.. I will ask to pay extra for this next time and see what they say.Overall, Zion's is my favorite restaurant in the area and I am already looking forward to the next time I fall woefully behind on my food prep.

“Had an incredible experience at Mixto! From the moment we walked in, the service was warm and welcoming. Junior and Angelina were absolutely amazing—super attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. The food? Spectacular. Every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Yesterday I got the Oxtails, rice & peas, mac & cheese and steamed cabbage. Every bit of it was delicious!!! the good there never disappoints! Kudos to the chef!!! Irie!!!!“

“Omg I’m amazed by the fish here !! It’s the best fish I’ve ever tasted and in the WHOLE city I swear by this place !! They have the most nice and caring customer service as well !! Will always b my go to restaurant!! Customer for life THANK YOU !!“

“If you’re looking for rich, flavorful Caribbean comfort food with portions that don’t play, Georgiana’s is the spot! I ordered the oxtail platter and the jerk chicken platter, and let me tell you — every single bite was chef’s kiss.

The oxtails were fall-off-the-bone tender, smothered in a thick, savory gravy with just the right hint of spice, resting perfectly on top of fluffy rice and peas. The flavors were deep, hearty, and so satisfying.

The jerk chicken was beautifully charred, juicy on the inside, and coated in a bold, smoky jerk sauce that packed heat and flavor. Paired with creamy, cheesy mac and cheese and perfectly caramelized candied yams, it was a serious plate of happiness.

On top of that, the platters were generous — definitely enough to fill you up and then some. I appreciate a place that gives you your money’s worth without compromising on quality or taste.

Georgiana’s, you’ve got a repeat customer right here! Highly recommend if you love authentic, soulful eats that leave you full and smiling.“

“Is a Great place to be, but needs better bartenders, it takes Forever to get a drink!! Other than that is fun to be around!“

“Yum yum good. They pile it high with flavorful food. Pays to buy it vs trying to make it yourself. Would give 5 stars only negative is little salty but that's because I need low salt diet“

“This place is catering my wedding. No, I don’t have a fiancé. I’m single, but who needs a man when you have mac & cheese like this? I’m marrying the jerk tofu, and the collard greens are my maid of honor.“

“Great Food and Great Vibes🎵🎵“

“First time ordering here I ordered the large curry chicken with white rice cabbage and two jerk rolls...Portion nice amount of meat no complaints about the platter. Nowwww the jerk rolls my fiancee swallowed his he said it's spicy I was into the second bite I said ohh no I can't do it lol leave that to the spicy eaters lol“

“The food is amazing. I ordered a small pepper steak with a side of Mac and cheese and candy yams. I thought my platter was going to be little… it wasn’t! The mac is good, the steak strips were tender, and the yams were cooked perfectly. I paid $14 even. Service was fine! He greeted us as we walked in and was helpful. 5 stars!

“Just had a party yesterday and decided to go with Hallow Bamboo for the catering. Everything from the ordering process, to the service and especially the food was EXCELLENT! My wife and I will definitely become regulars and will use them for our catering needs in the future, thanks Shelli and Steve!“

“First time at this restaurant...Food was on point definitely be back soon..“

“I love this place. If you are ever in philly you must try this Ghanian spot! If you like spicy this is the place. If you like rice get the jollof! My favorite is light soup with fufu. The peanut litter soup is bomb! Matter fact just eat everything. Only come if you have time to enjoy. Service is not typical of most American dinner time standards. Call ahead to ensure they are open that weekend! I wish they delivered via an app. But still worth going for the experience.“

“This is the best Ackee & Saltfish, Callaloo, Plantains and fried dumplings I've had since I 1st ate it over 30 years ago. They will be seeing me for lunch close to dinner and at least 2 or 3 times a week.“

“the ox tails with the beans and rice. yes sir“

“I dined in for an early dinner and ordered the Brown Stew Chicken w Yams & Collard Greens, Fish Soup, and Watermelon Juice. Everything was very tasty! The yams didn’t have much additional flavor though but I didn’t mind because as a side they just absorbed the sauce from the Brown Stew Chicken and got flavored that way. Also they seem to use pretty fresh produce so all the produce had more of its own natural flavor - yams, collard greens, as well as the cabbage and carrots in the Stew, and the okra in the Fish Soup. The flavors in the Fish Soup seemed unique to me and I really enjoyed it. The soup came with a tasty dumpling in it as well (not sure if there is a different name for this dumpling but I will be doing more research on Caribbean cuisines). I also liked that there were not bones in the soup as I often expect bones when ordering most meats from Caribbean restaurants but I’m not a fan of dealing with them. The Brown Stew Chicken while very tasty and flavorful, does have bones in it. Everything was well seasoned and salty, but not to an offensive extent at all - just perfect and as expected. Last but not least, the Watermelon Juice was a very refreshing addition to the meal that was much appreciated after walking in hot weather. It tasted like fresh fruit and was sweet but not too sweet! It was honestly a real necessity at the time, so I’m glad I found this place. I definitely want to come back and try more of their food.

The service was also great! Everyone working there seemed friendly, which is definitely not always the case, and I felt welcome. Someone (the chef?) came out to personally take orders to speed up the line which wasn’t even long, so they seem committed to getting people their food fast (despite “island time” existing in Caribbean cultures). The menu is simple which allows them to have everything ready quickly & at a high quality. The quality of the food is what matters above all, and it seems they understand that. Also be ready with cash as it is Cash Only.

I love the cozy vibe and the old school diner/lunch counter aesthetics, but I felt like the dining room/bar space should be better utilized. I understand this situation isn’t even necessarily their fault as we are in the era of takeout, and they clearly put their money towards making sure the food is good, which is obviously most important. I also understand they are dealing with the fact that their menu isn’t super conducive for the bar/lunch counter setting, and it’s detached from the kitchen, but it has a purpose - it’s where they make and serve the homemade juices. Something as simple as pictures of the main ingredients in the juices could be a low cost way to liven up this area and serve a practical purpose as well. They have big, comfortable tables which some restaurants in the area don’t even offer anymore, so I appreciated that.“

“I stopped in because I found the restaurant on Phillyblackowned.com, a map for black owned businesses in Philly. I'm so happy that I found this business. The owner is very friendly, made me feel welcomed, and the food is delicious. I ordered the lamb with rice, and it was so tasty, I had to share my experience. I'll definitely be back.“

“My First Time trying their Food. I Loved how much Care they had when preparing My Order. I had a small Jerk Chicken Platter with Oxtail Gravy and Two sides Mac and Cheese with Mixed Vegetables. I also had another side of Candied Yams or Sweet Potatoes. Thank You D's Caribbean and American Food. 😇😎👏👏👏👏💖💐“
