The ambience was great, the food was good as well. I love the drinks and presentation of the KanKan shrimp!

Everything was very good, loved the vegan option of fried oyster mushrooms and black eyed peas (chefs kiss). They have unisex bathrooms that are pretty big...private stalls so it wasn't so bad. The restaurant has a gorgeous aesthetic perfect for photos and occasions. I don't know if there's a Dj every night but the music was fire, so if fun and energetic is not your thing, ask when the boring days/times are. Prices are on the higher end, $24 was the least expensive... drinks were $16 minimum for a cocktail I believe. Our server was nice but maybe overwhelmed because everything was super duper slowwww ...we arrived before it got packed on a Wednesday night... I mean food.. check.. boxes... we lost our energy waiting. Aside from that we loved it and highly recommend.

We spent our 13th wedding anniversary celebrating at Amina's new location. The food was amazing and the service was great. We had the chicken basket and oxtail. Both dishes were delicious! I also had the warrior princess cocktail, with vodka. Yummy! I couldn't have asked for a better dinner!

We had a tremendous dining experience at Amina, to celebrate my wife's birthday. We enjoyed everything from the time we walked in until our departure.

Amina has a great atmosphere warm & cozy, Although our servers were nice ,the service was a little chaotic. I ordered the lobster 🦞 bisque (save your money) the bisque is not cream based, it was made with a chicken stock soup and flavored with seafood seasoning ,with a piece of crab claw meat, for esthetic. The skillet Cornbread was lite, fluffy and moist,it was accompanied by orange glaze butter 🧈 which was delicious. I ordered beef short rib over grits. The short Rib was to die for 👍👍moist, tender, fall off the bone, with a tangy melon barbecue sauce. The cheesy grits had a course texture to them (interesting) with a hint of cheese. Over all we enjoyed Amina...but for me not worth returning again

Great portions, fair price, fun professional staff, great favorable food. Perfect dining experience!
Make sure you check your receipt! Just left the place, and I’m very upset.
The food was tasty, drinks on point, the atmosphere nice, and the service was good until it was time to pay the bill. We were on a business trip and when we placed our orders, asked for separate checks. Splitting the bill evenly would have been acceptable. Trust me, we were not being difficult.
When we got the bill, despite what the server said, “the math wasn’t mathing.” I’ll spare you the details, but it was crazy. At one point, he told us to figure it out, but when the “manager” came over, he admitted he had made a mistake. Also, the restrooms were unsanitary.

there was a strong urine stench in the whole place, bill was $100 for 2 burgers w/ fries, mac and cheese and wings, and they auto include 20% gratuity and still optioned for a tip on payment machine-check bill before tipping. Not rude but quite odd service/waiters and basically a glorified bar food menu with restaurant prices (w/ a side of heavy piss smell). I wish I could air farm the smell in there just share it on here.

Went for Valentine's Day for 6 people and everything was fantastic. The food was so tasty, I highly recommend the cornbread, salmon, Peri Peri wings, and watermelon cheesecake. Everyone was so attentive and that made the experience more complete. Add this to your restaurant rotation!
Parking: The lot directly across charges $30 where paid street parking is around $8. I would recommend the street parking even if you have to walk a little.
Kid-friendliness: There is not a kid menu, but my children found plenty to eat from the menu.

My wife and I wanted to try to place for Valentines weekend. It is important for us to support Black business. I made reservations for 5:15. Apparently they do not open until 5:15 so we were standing in a narrow hallway waiting for the open while staff filed past us and they ate laughed and chatted at the front. The atmosphere and food were great. The drinks are top notch. Apparently there is a 90 minute table limit that everyone is supposed to just magically know about. It is not listed or posted anywhere on the planet at all but the server explained it like a forgone conclusion or a "duh" moment that everyone should have just known. Will we try them again? Possibly. We know now to manage our expectations and it is disheartening to have to do that when it is your own people. Oh well.
