“Was at a men's conference for the Keystone Jurisdiction of the C.O.G.IC. Was going to meet up with the other men. Wanted a nice breakfast, and that is what I got. Ordered pancakes and eggs easy over. Took a little bit, but it was worth the wait. Pancakes were nice and fluffy. Had my doubts before I placed the order, but once received and tasted it. All doubts were gone.
Thank you for a nice breakfast.
BTW, the phone rings constantly with people calling in orders. Cash only.“

“The food here is fire. I don't know what these other people are saying, but I am HERE for these incredible portion sizes. I had almost three full meals from this large portion size. The food is seasoned perfectly and there is a very diverse menu conisidering how small the location is.“

“I love this place. The jerk chicken and the stew fish are insanely good. The Mac n cheese is to die for. You absolutely cannot pass on the collards or the rice with gravy. And dessert is a must. The food might take a second and sometimes they run out of certain things from time to time but this place can do no wrong in my eyes haha.“

I could have referred a lot of people that don't know it's there. Your tea was very good and I hope your service gets better. A vegetarian platter would be nice also.“

The staff were friendly, attentive, and made excellent recommendations. The drinks were well-crafted, not watered down, and you could tell the bartenders take real pride in their mixology.
I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to others!“

“Ashabees catered DVABPsi’s 50th anniversary celebration in Chester PA on Saturday December 6, 2026. The food was exquisite. The escovich fish and the collard greens were perfect. My Jamaican mom loved the food and she is usually picky about food she did not cook. Thanks Ashabees for contributing to the success of the Delaware Valley Association of Black Psychologists’ anniversary celebration.“

“First time ever at Carlettes hideaway. Sistahs In Transformation met there and I'm glad 😊 to be apart of these group of ladies. The food was absolutely delicious 😋 OMG I couldn't believe it. I will visit very soon shemasmiles“

“great food best in philadelphia area. very professional“

“I can't wait to try this place, it's right out of a Sienfeld episode only with a Cajun twist with an old black lady. What was that movie were an old black lady plays Jesus? Such stark reviews, a bunch of 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reviews from people that were actually patient and let the lady prepare the food the way she does it. Then a lot of 1⭐ reviews from butt hurt Karen's that are all upset because they actually have to wait and their time is so precious. Leave the lady alone and go have your Popeye's or Chick fil A. This cook/chef what ever you want to call her uses wholesome fresh ingredients unlike the other restaurants that are slowly poisoning you. I find the restaurant on an app call Seed Oil Scout. I would highly recommend it, you can find the healthy restaurants where ever you go. Can't wait to try this establishment. Do yourself a favor, be patient and help a wonderful person. God Bless.“

“Best in the city ������������������“

“Jamil’s Cafe catered my daughter’s baby shower. Food was excellent. Arrived on time fresh and hot. He set up and gave me extra equipment. Everyone loved the food seasoned to perfection. The professionalism I received from beginning to the end was outstanding. Definitely booking again :)“

“Omg I was so hungry so I said I would give it a try i know that Pam use to cater for us at Kimberly Clarke.. I had the fish and Chicken wings ate myself silly..her staff Ms Fatine love her was so glad too see her. Omg if you haven't you need too get there, the best I mean the best. I will be back .Thanks so much“

“So the ladies at the back are great. They don't speak much English, so if you go speaking English they won't really understand. But, the man in the front speaks English.

Now the man at the front he appears nice, but I think he makes up prices based off how he is feeling at the moment. Because I normally get the something each time I go. Down to the size of the platter, and the food in the platter. So the price should be the same, because I get the same thing each time I go. Some days I pay $18.00, some days I pay $20.00 and recently I paid $22.00. When I asked him why it was a different prices, he got very spicy with me. That was the last time I went there.

My boyfriend is Haitian, so the next time I go back he will be with me. If he can't go with me I won't be go.“

“My great friend, Jonathan, introduced me to this marvelous establishment. I got fried fish, cabbage and potato salad. Everything was scrumptious. Made you feel as though you were at grandma's or aunty's. Topped it off with coconut cake. So good!!!“

“Came to Philly for visit. A friend served us some food from Crafty Soul food. Damn that stuff was good. The next day I ordered the same meal of fish platter and shrimp platter with greens and Mac/cheese. Also got extra sweet potatoes. The only thing missing was cornbread. This place will be on the top of my list when visit again.“
