“If you are looking for authenticity, look no further. They also offer additional dishes like Buffalo chicken and wings. The food was delicious! The meat was moist and perfectly portioned. The staff was extremely helpful with picking out the right meal. The owner even came by and introduced himself. They have now earned a customer for life!”
“The BEST smoothie spot in Rhode Island. Their standard menu items and seasonal specials are all amazing - Tropical Chaga Monster, Emery smoothie, vegan lasagna, breakfast wraps, I could go on. The owner is the sweetest. It's hard to find genuinely tasty healthy spots around here, but Pawtuxet Village is lucky to have this one!”
“Just wanted to shout out the bartender tonight who was taking care of the whole house. He got to us quickly, served our drinks quickly, was polite and friendly. Watching him get to everyone almost exactly when they needed him was a treat to see. Great atmosphere, calm and inviting. Love this little gem, all local clientele having a nice and quiet evening. Definitely worth stopping in and trying food and drinks. Didn’t eat tonight but have before and everything is incredible. Italian nachos are to die for— best appetizer for sure.”
“3/9/2024 In the heart of the RI Empire, nestled amidst the mighty Garden City, there stood a humble yet vibrant eatery known for its delectable offerings. The air was filled with the scent of roasted meats and spices, and the bustling of patrons echoed through the cobblestone streets. As the sun dipped below the horizon, a group of colleagues embarked on a journey to this exciting establishment. I had heard whispers of its tapas-style cuisine, promising portions that were not overwhelming but perfectly suited for a satisfying meal. To be honest this is what attracted me to this forbidden experience. The path to the restaurant was uneventful, save for a minor hiccup in the reservation mistake made from someone in our group, swiftly resolved by the gracious hosts. As we entered, our eyes were drawn to the shining sign bearing the restaurant's name, a beacon of Latin flavor in their midst of Cranston, RI. Seated amidst the cozy ambiance, our gazes wandered to the far end of the room, where two familiar faces awaited. Like royalty perched atop Machu Picchu, two coworkers exuded an aura of grandeur, setting the stage for an evening of culinary delights, like a true Quoya and Sapa Inca. As the only Hispanic among them, I found myself bombarded with questions about the menu, each inquiry met with amusement and patience. Our waitress, Regan, a spirited soul from the distant land of Pennsylvania , greeted us with warmth and guided us through the gastronomic journey ahead. With tantalizing ceviches that danced upon our palates and entrees like Lomo Saltado that delighted our senses, the evening unfolded like a symphony of flavors. The kitchen became a stage, alive with the rhythm of knives and the crackle of flames, offering a spectacle to accompany our meal. And then came the pièce de résistance – a chocolate dessert crafted by the talented hands of Grace, a burgeoning pastry chef with dreams as lofty as the mountains themselves. This decadent creation stole the show, leaving our taste buds singing with delight. As the night wore on, conversation flowed like the sacred rivers of the Andes, fueled by sips of margaritas that struck the perfect balance between strength and subtlety. And amidst the laughter and camaraderie, amidst the flavors and aromas that filled the air, we found ourselves transported to a realm where time seemed to stand still, where every moment was savored like the finest delicacy. As if by happenstance, our time at Ceviche Divino felt like bidding farewell to an era. With the clocks set to turn one hour ahead from here on, today felt like a poignant goodbye!I had a blast at this joint, seriously! I'd totally recommend it. The portions aren't ginormous, which is exactly what I was after. I mean, between you and me, I've been to more business meetings than I can count, and I'm all for less food if it means fewer food comas in the boardroom, am I right?”

“Great place. Sighty overpriced on some items, but overall, good selection and friendly staff.Perfect place. Overpriced on some items, but overall good selection and friendly staff.”
“Iannucilli Restaurant is absolutely fantastic! My meal was amazing and I'm not joking. I was apprehensive about getting the veal chop Parmigiana, but I'm telling you it's the best thing on the menu. We were a party of 4 at 730pm Saturday night. There was a chicken special, gnocchi, linguine and clams(white clam sauce) and my veal parm with capellini. My dinner was absolutely the best on the table. While the other meals looked great the linguine and clams was a bit dry- while at the other table right next to us, there was an vat of white clam sauce dripping over the side of the plate.I'm basing my review of Iannucilli on my meal only. Get this meal. You won't be disappointed. In fact our appetizer- cannellini beans, broccoli rabe and sausage was awesome too- but I think there could've been a little sauce to accompany this. I'd go so far as saying that I'd order that as an entree if it had 2x the beans, sausage and rabe. <-Nicky that should be an entree, the app was delicious!Our desserts were great too but I asked for an afogato- espresso with vanilla gelato. Simply put it was the best ending to a great meal.”
“First visit to Bistro Cafe. Many tasty sounding options on the menu. I was told the steak egg and tater tot skillet was enjoyable. The pancakes were okay, not great but I did like the blueberry compote. Will return to sample something else.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“This place has the best indian food i've ever had and quickly became my personal favorite restaurant from the first time i've ever had it. they serve several authentic indian dishes with amazing flavors but my personal favorites have been the butter chicken, the chicken and shrimp short breads, tandoori chicken, garlic naan and mango lassi. The service was amazing and the restaurant was decorated so nicely! 12/10 would definitely recommend coming here!!”
“Food was amazing. Time was quick, got our food within 10 minutes. Owner was one of the nicest men I have ever met, maybe even the nicest. We ordered a small calzone, and he gave us a medium with no extra charge! We got one cheese pie, and one Royal Steak Calzone. The food came out steaming. Cheese had a nice pull, and the flavor and crispiness were on another level. The presentation was also really good, being served on an elevated spinning plate. Overall 10/10 stars, if I could put more I would.”
“I went there yesterday I got a small cheese and pepperoni pizza and also 2 meatballs to review on my YouTube channel the place was busy the staff was friendly the food was delicious the place looked nice and clean the lady that waited on my was friendly great people great food I would recommend it to anyone”

“1st time here with the family and didn't have any expectations. Service, great! Food was great, no complaints from the kids and hubby and my Noods was great. Drinks.....D E licious. The hubby and I basically tried every drink, plus a dragon fruit mix not yet on the menu....yummy. I will definitely come back to try other dishes but so far all was a GREAT experience. FYI I gave 4 stars for the food cause I have yet to try most of the dishes available ?”

“Del's is bomb. Sweet tooth required. Pink lemonade is my favorite. The peach mango frozen lemonade rocks as well.The only lemonade that comes close to Del's is pomegranate lemonade from Turkey Hill Farms out of PA.”

“This is a takeout review. All food is eaten promptly in the vehicle. I had two types of party strips and a pepperoni pizza. The white stripes were good, kind of a pesto type taste to them. The red strips were very good, I really enjoyed the crust with a bit of crunch to it. The pizza itself was excellent. A very nice crust, great sauce, and a nice sauce to cheese ratio. The owner came out to talk to me, and he was a really nice guy also. On a scale from 0-10, I would rate this 9.1.”
“The best! Everyone’s super friendly and helpful. The sandwiches and prepared foods are all terrific—and a lot of excellent middle eastern dishes you don’t find just anywhere. And they have a great little middle eastern market.”
“They have amazing wings and food! Drinks are great as well. Also can play your own music with an app. Very chill place to go with friends or partner. Great blend of all age groups.”
“This is a small neighborhood market with old time customer service. Weekly specials are listed on their website and on the door as you enter. There is plenty of beautiful fresh produce. Everything looks good. Cold cuts are Boars Head and they will make you a sandwich. Meat is behind a counter. Just ask the butcher for what you want. They have Italian food items like passata and lots of pastas, sausage and oil. They also have the usual pantry staples like loaf bread, canned goods and condiments.We picked up quite a few items during our visit and are very happy to have found this grocery store with old world customer service.”
“If you're in search of a delicious sangwich that will tantalize your taste buds look no further than "Dee's". You'll find authentic flavors and welcoming hospitality here. The roll: a crisp crust with a pillowy interior. The meat: delicious Italian flavors layered generously inside the roll. The cheese: creamy. The veges: fresh and crisp. So yum, yum, yummy. I can't believe I ate the whole thing but it was so dang good.”
“I’ve been going to Tony’s since I was a young girl, I even worked there for a while !!! The food is excellent !!!! I highly recommend it !!! RIP Chris ?️ Parking: There is plenty of street parking !!!! On the side and in front !”

“My husband and I just discovered this spot after living in Cranston for three years. It is awesome. The staff are fantastic, food is delicious and atmosphere is cozy. Leslie is one of the best in RI! We immediately connected and she remembered me on the 2nd visit. Talk about great service! It will be our breakfast spot from now on. Those who claim to have been so many times but only wait to write a bad review, shame on you.”

“Great space and good atmosphere. Came here for the second time to watch Brainscan. Would highly recommend if your looking for a new brewery to try. Definitely check out their events.”

“Food was outstanding! Went with my girlfriend and we were pleasantly surprised! The presentation was fantastic and the service was great! Definitely recommend! Just ya know...watch out for the Walmart ”
“Enjoyed a great party with friends an family food was awesome and I look towards to enjoying more times if it's just a quick pick up or dine in this is the number one place to grab a biteNick.”
“First time trying them and I must say I am impressed. The atmosphere was good, plenty of seating. Food was fantastic, I had the 'Create Your Own Pizza' and would rate taste 9.5/10 but the price is a bit much. $11 for the base, $4 for cheese and $4 per meat toppings. Making it over $20 for an 8 sliced Pizza. But in the end taste to price ratio it was worth it. As for service I gave a 3 people our server often got distracted with one of her friends that walked in. It started as we told her what we wanted to drink and a good 5-6 minutes go by before we received our drinks. Food came out pretty quick tho. So overall rating I'd give it a 4.2 Star review. I'd definitely get them again.”
“Located in the heart of Garden City which is always a fun place to visit with family and friends, my spouse and I went into Avivo with no expectations. On a Friday evening, the restaurant was busy but there wasn't any wait. We got a spot at the bar, and our bartender was really friendly and attentive. We ordered a few drinks and dinner. I had an espresso martini which was delicious. They had a great selection of wine and the bartender found one my wife really enjoyed. The food was great, I had a chicken caesar salad and the Mrs had a wrap that I did not try but she thought it had great taste and was very fresh. Would love to come back and try more food soon. Definitely found this to be a great place for a night out.”
“Ordered a pizza for pick-up. It was one of the best I've ever had. Crust was excellent, sauce was delicious, but the cheese was what makes me give it a 10!”
“I love the food! It was so subtle but if you’re a sweets fan you’re going to love it here! I went with my family and my mother and father had some savory crepes so there’s savory options too! The tea was delightful the berries on my waffle were fresh and Bee our server was delightful and refreshing! There were not many people in there either, yet was on saint patties day. I’d definitely go here again!!”
“If you are looking for a larger Indian restaurant with a hostess, fancy decor, and some scheduled belly dancing for entertainment, this is not it. If you are seeking really well prepared, authentic Indian food, in a cozy neighborhood spot, then this is the place you seek.I've seen this place when it first opened. I remember making a mental note to go in then just kept forgetting about it. Well, seeing that it still exists about 3 years later, I was convinced there is something special about it so this time, I headed in.Chennai Express is hands down, the best Indian restaurant in RI. Step into the small spot for ordering to-go or dining in, and your nose will be treated to the fragrant, mouthwatering aroma of dishes being prepared in the kitchen. I walked in and sat down on an empty table to peruse the menu for a to-go order. It was a challenge picking which dish to order as the menu presented a host of delicious options--from the more popular Indian dishes, to very authentic sounding appetizers and entrees. I wanted them all. Ultimately, I decided on Shrimp Biryani, Butter Chicken, and Nellore Fish Curry. These did not disappoint at all. The rice and chicken were not dry and the sauce were so flavorful.While waiting for my order, I have witnessed how busy Chennai is for take out. There's a quick cycle of pick up orders on the counter. A small group sat occupied two of the four 4-seater tables. I cannot help but look at their orders, taking note of the dishes for my next visit (yes, I was already planning coming back even before getting my order).Tip: Bring some cash so you avoid paying a surcharge. They take Venmo, too.I get home and excitedly open my package...mmm...worth the wait. Chennai Express is the real deal.”
“Great atmosphere and good food. Our chicken parm was delicious but the portion was a bit small. Our pasta was also great but the brocolli rabe was a bit over-salted. Still enjoyed our meal and would come back again.”
“I dined here with my 91 year old mom for the Leap Day lobster special. Given the crowd, this was clearly a very popular event, but the vibe was energetic and upbeat without being annoyingly loud. Couples, groups of friends and families with their kids, all seemed to be having a great evening. Jaelin was our server and did a fabulous job throughout the evening. She was friendly and professional and never got rattled in spite of the fact she was waiting on multiple tables simultaneously. I observed that she was patient with all customers; answering questions and making recommendations, all with a high degree of efficiency. The lobsters were delicious; a nice mid winter treat at a very good value. We ordered a side of fries and an excellent wedge salad to share. A couple of cocktails and we headed for home very satisfied. Thanks to all of the staff who were really focused on service excellence!”
“Decor was pretty outdated but that made it rather charming. The restaurant was packed with happy patrons. It was a 1st time visiting on a 1st date. The date didn't end so well but I left very happy with my meal choice...8oz filet mignon with 2 baked stuffed shrimp, sides of mashed potatoes and broccoli with butter and grated cheese. Yum!!!Parking: Plenty of handicapped spots ?”
“I dine at Fresco‘s (dinner) 3 to 4 times a month and the food is always excellent and the service is fantastic.  Tucked away on the industrial side of Comstock Parkway, this hidden gem didn't stay hidden for long. The cars filling up the parking lot each weekend are a testament to just how good it is.  This time, one of their drink specials was a spicy pomegranate margarita. If you like spicy margaritas, you won't be disappointed with this one!”
“Now that Silver Crystal has closed, this is to my knowledge the only place for Dim Sum in little Rhody. The food is authentic and delicious. If you were a customer at the aforementioned SC, this menu is almost identical, down to the names of dishes. Several years ago, i believe they changed ownership, and I was happy to see them keep the food unchanged. Service for me has always been prompt and attentive. Some of my favorites are the dry beef chow fun, yang chow fried rice, baby bok choy with garlic, and beef brisket wonton noodle soup.”
“Food was outstanding! Went with my girlfriend and we were pleasantly surprised! The presentation was fantastic and the service was great! Definitely recommend! Just ya know...watch out for the Walmart ”
“Always thought of this place as a lounge more than a restaurant, but with the new owners that has changed! The ambiance, food, and service were all A+. We came in on a Thursday. It wasn't busy to our surprise. Try the stuffed zucchini, it was so good! We had a special available that night with a teriyaki chicken served in a halfed pineapple with veggies and chicken. It was awesome!!! Everything was great and we will be returning for sure!!”
“Great neighborhood family run bar/ restaurant. They probably have the best bar good in the state. Seafood stuffie is to die for. Loaded with clams , scallops and shrimp. Tacos excellent! Salmon BLT awesome !”

I really appreciate the follow up phone call from Erica after our order has been delivered to ensure it all went smoothly, especially if it is a delivery service delivering the food instead of someone from her team. Thank you!!”

“If I could give more than 5 stars I would. This place is so special to my fiance and I. The staff are absolutely amazing as well as the owners. When you come in they truly treat you like family. The food is to die for. I would highly recommend the salmon or chicken parm. No place does it better than Cucina! <3”
“Great food and friendly service. It’s a little hard to tell it’s a restaurant when you’re outside, but hopefully they’ll get a sign up soon. Great breakfast options and less crowded than the other spots in the area. 5 stars, highly recommended.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“I asked for a medium rare burger, but it came a litte too rare. Otherwise, great atmosphere, plenty of things to watch while you eat, friendly staff, just a little bit pricey. Definitely more of a once in a while type of eating out, but worth it. Loved the food loved the stay. Made for a lovely date night.”
“The food is a hit or miss either over cooked or undercooked or good. But they know how to make a good coffee there’s no denying that, if you want a great ice coffee I would suggest this Dunkin ?”
“Enjoyed dining here, restaurant was clean, staff was friendly and my order came quickly. Chicken strips were hot and crispy but there wasn’t enough fries. Still a great overall dining ”
“I rate this dunkin with 4 because dunkin has their days but this one is one of the best ones in rhode island. i love my coffee sweet and creamy and almost always going to this dunkin… its made perfectly. i recommend this dunkin over a lot of the ones around hereParking: i do have to say the lot could be bigger”
“They prepared it quick and just right! Purchase the two piece drum and thigh original with biscuit and gravy added a side order to f mac and cheese. The pieces of chicken were cooked right and had a lot of meat on them. staff was friendly both behind the register and the one who handed me my order. pleased.”
“Been to this location a few times since moving to the area and have not had a bad experience once. The people working the drive thru have been always been nice seriously one of my favorite Dunkin’”
“The already great-tasting Subway food combined with an eclectic staff of young, outgoing individuals who seem truly interested in making your day better- whether by way of conversation, kindness, or laughter, this team will brighten your day with service and that signature Subway taste!”
“Food and staff consistently both good. The only thing is if you use the mobile app to order, just run thru and check it’s all there, just a few incidents of missing 1-2 parts but it’s because staff doesn’t care, usually mega slammed at night with UberVegetarian options: There’s a something… that’s allParking: Kinda horrible lotKid-friendliness: Booster seats, open area with no death traps”
“Now usually they always get my order wrong, but just now @4pm whatever girl is making these burgers, you go girl lol this is the freshest ive ever tasted from this spot and not 1 wrong item in my bag all 5 sandwiches were customized and she didnt screw this up...we appreciate this!! Thank you..”

I always pass by to get food on my way to work and i can always tell he likes his job , always in a good mood , very polite and professional & he always makes sure i get everything i want and need.

Both were very well made, fresh ingredients and nicely seasoned.Ordering using the mobile app is the best thing...your rewards account gets credited right away and the order is ready when promised (you can opt for text messages, which are very accurate).Good food....”

“Trust me, you don't need to order double boba - you get plenty with the one order lol. I ordered double boba in both the dirty brown sugar milk tea and the peach green tea, and I'll admit it was too much boba as it filled half the large cups. However, both drinks were delicious and I went back in to get more of each without boba to drink tomorrow. My only complaint is this place can get busy and there can be a huge line of online orders, but the employees work pretty efficiently together to get everything made timely.”

It started as we told her what we wanted to drink and a good 5-6 minutes go by before we received our drinks. Food came out pretty quick tho. So overall rating I'd give it a 4.2 Star review. I'd definitely get them again.”
“Arguably the best two people in the beer industry! Beautiful beers made by beautiful people. Thank you Cheyne and Erika for the wonderful hospitality visit after visit. Plus the Customer Service Concierge is a nice touch!!”

“A small bar but I love the natural atmosphere of the place. I guess to most its considered a dive bar but I always have a good time when im there and they make really good mixed drinks”
“The food was absolutely amazing, delicious taste in every bite! The drinks/atmosphere gave my friends and I the exact night we were looking for, at a great price! Overall good time & service, will definitely be back!”
“Went to see my brother and his band Authentic Dissent typical bar atmosphere. Food was ok drinks were good customer service ? excellent he was very polite and right on ?”
“A friendly local pub with great atmosphere. Great selection of imported and locat beers, along with traditional spirits. Get there early to find a parking place on St. Patrick's Day. Corned beef sandwiches are always in season, and special on March 17th.”
“The best Italian Grinder of all the land. It’s the right amount of the oil and vinegar. And the bread is a true soft and flaky Italian bread. Get the works. You’re welcome. Thank you Pizza Fair.”
“Service here was great. Parking lot is a bit small so just keep that in mind. For the most part the food was good and portion sizes were normal. The spring rolls were really good but a little burnt. The weird thing is you have to pay for sauce. Other restaurants give you a ton of soy sauce/duck sauce but this place you have to pay for it. I didn't give 5 starts because I'm wanted the sauce from the shrimp and broccoli to have more flavor and be a bit thicker. Otherwise it was good food.”
“First time ordering and not disappointed. Large Italian is LARGE lol I gave half to my daughter..we both love a good Italian hero and this place is good. Ty! We'll see you again!”
“I ordered couple of time from Naaz’s Cranston, RI. I was satisfied every time. They serve fresh food with fresh ingredients, and tastes really good. They always followed the notes on online order. I thought Naaz and it’s staff deserves a good review. Keep it up Naaz!”
“Incredible and authentic small business complete with the background sound of Vietnamese news channel. Food quality is great, time to serve is a bit longer as it was staffed by literally 2 people and all food was made fresh to order. However they are incredibly kind, clearly are loved by the community, and simply make great food.Come here for food made with love, but don’t expect this to be a fast food restaurant or a fancy or romantic place.”
“Staff is always attentive, prices are always good (I've been going since it was just the store on Thayer when all menu items were $5) everything is quick and tastes great. Chipotle cannot compete.”
“New owners but Honey passed the recipes on. Still delicious. Really fresh ingredients, lots of flavor, authentic. Super friendly couple running it as well. The Beef Mama Noodle is my favorite.Vegetarian options: Tofu and tons of vegetables and they’ll usually make anything you want if you ask nicely. I don’t order vegetarian myself.Parking: Park like a Rhode Islander and you’re OK.”
“My go to place. Excellent bagels, sandwiches are fantastic, pastries as well, great selection of coffees. Friendly staff, great service. Nice comfortable atmosphere.Always make you feel at home.”
“Went on a Tuesday morning around 8:45. There was plenty of self seating available. There was lots of variety on the menu. Everything was clean and neat. The Eggs Benedict hit the spot with yummy homefires.”
“Seems like new management..the waitresses actually gave me bread and water and came over like a normal restaurant waitresses.The old crew was the worst of the worst.Waitresses were evil ?”
“Church parishioners are so very warm and welcoming. Priest is a Wonderful modern visionary that understands we need youth in the church. I've never had a bad meal or a liturgy that didn't hit home. Please come join us in our Parish.God is great ❤️?”
“Located in the heart of Garden City which is always a fun place to visit with family and friends, my spouse and I went into Avivo with no expectations. On a Friday evening, the restaurant was busy but there wasn't any wait. We got a spot at the bar, and our bartender was really friendly and attentive. We ordered a few drinks and dinner. I had an espresso martini which was delicious. They had a great selection of wine and the bartender found one my wife really enjoyed. The food was great, I had a chicken caesar salad and the Mrs had a wrap that I did not try but she thought it had great taste and was very fresh. Would love to come back and try more food soon. Definitely found this to be a great place for a night out.”
“Food took a little longer the expected. But they acknowledge before I even said anything. Is good that they are paying close attention to their customers. Great place we love coming here. Very friendly and customer oriented.”
“Few places have sushi this good. The Korean fare is superb. The hosts are amazing and gracious. They have Soju! Simply put, this is one of the best sushi restaurants I have ever dined in anywhere and it's in the top two Korean restaurants. Ichiban means number one, this place does not disappoint! Family owned. Every single item on the menu is absolutely fantastic! I recommend you start at the top and work your way down, you may need repeat visits!Dietary restrictions: They will accommodate any restrictions with a smile.Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs!Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp access.”
“Our server, Brittney, was amazing!! She was super kind, welcoming, and attentive. We started off with a couple of white sangrias; they were huge and delicious. We got the meatballs as an appetizer which were really good! The meatballs were HUGE. Then we had veal marsala and veal saltimbocca as our mains and they were packed and delicious. It was also all you can eat bread and salad! I definitely recommend coming by on a Tuesday night - it wasn’t that busy, but it definitely was not empty either. The atmosphere was awesome and we would definitely stop by and hope to get Brittney and her wonderful service again!”
“My family tried takeout from this neighborhood restaurant for the first time last night. The food was across the board delicious. We had the meatball sandwich, the tuna melt, the short ribs, garlic bread and caesar salad. The meatballs were very tasty, had the right texture and the marinara was fresh tasting and perfectly seasoned. We are Italian so we are fussy about meatballs and sauce!We will definitely be back to try some new dishes but we don't get takeout again because of the styrofoam takeout containers. Hope they get eco friendly containers in the future.”
“If you are looking for a larger Indian restaurant with a hostess, fancy decor, and some scheduled belly dancing for entertainment, this is not it. If you are seeking really well prepared, authentic Indian food, in a cozy neighborhood spot, then this is the place you seek.I've seen this place when it first opened. I remember making a mental note to go in then just kept forgetting about it. Well, seeing that it still exists about 3 years later, I was convinced there is something special about it so this time, I headed in.Chennai Express is hands down, the best Indian restaurant in RI. Step into the small spot for ordering to-go or dining in, and your nose will be treated to the fragrant, mouthwatering aroma of dishes being prepared in the kitchen. I walked in and sat down on an empty table to peruse the menu for a to-go order. It was a challenge picking which dish to order as the menu presented a host of delicious options--from the more popular Indian dishes, to very authentic sounding appetizers and entrees. I wanted them all. Ultimately, I decided on Shrimp Biryani, Butter Chicken, and Nellore Fish Curry. These did not disappoint at all. The rice and chicken were not dry and the sauce were so flavorful.While waiting for my order, I have witnessed how busy Chennai is for take out. There's a quick cycle of pick up orders on the counter. A small group sat occupied two of the four 4-seater tables. I cannot help but look at their orders, taking note of the dishes for my next visit (yes, I was already planning coming back even before getting my order).Tip: Bring some cash so you avoid paying a surcharge. They take Venmo, too.I get home and excitedly open my package...mmm...worth the wait. Chennai Express is the real deal.”

“They really stepped it up with their food. Haven't been in a while but son wanted Pancakes and my daughter wanted chicken. They changed a lot of food on their menu and its really good. Onion rings were great, Mozzarella sticks were good but the marinara was amazing. Fries are way better than before and they killed it on the bacon where my son ordered two more orders. The customer service was great as well. The male manager there is awesome but I felt really bad for him because he works nonstop. There was a rush and he was the only one there. I waiting to be seated for 10 mins. Not his fault. Get more servers and take care of your team!”
“I want to give a special shout out to Erica and the rest of this team! The food and customer service has been consistently excellent for all of our large orders on the weekends. I really appreciate the follow up phone call from Erica after our order has been delivered to ensure it all went smoothly, especially if it is a delivery service delivering the food instead of someone from her team. Thank you!!”
“People here like the pizza. I think the Sicilians/largest are good and remind me of my ole days making Siclians at Robertos PizzaHowever, Tommy's entrees are the best thing here. From Chicken Marsala to their Risottos, Cod dishes, etcBill Clinton came here several years ago. A staple if you live in Oaklawn”

“Always thought of this place as a lounge more than a restaurant, but with the new owners that has changed! The ambiance, food, and service were all A+. We came in on a Thursday. It wasn't busy to our surprise. Try the stuffed zucchini, it was so good! We had a special available that night with a teriyaki chicken served in a halfed pineapple with veggies and chicken. It was awesome!!! Everything was great and we will be returning for sure!!”
“If I could give more than 5 stars I would. This place is so special to my fiance and I. The staff are absolutely amazing as well as the owners. When you come in they truly treat you like family. The food is to die for. I would highly recommend the salmon or chicken parm. No place does it better than Cucina! <3”
“If you're in search of a delicious sangwich that will tantalize your taste buds look no further than "Dee's". You'll find authentic flavors and welcoming hospitality here. The roll: a crisp crust with a pillowy interior. The meat: delicious Italian flavors layered generously inside the roll. The cheese: creamy. The veges: fresh and crisp. So yum, yum, yummy. I can't believe I ate the whole thing but it was so dang good.”
“This is a small neighborhood market with old time customer service. Weekly specials are listed on their website and on the door as you enter. There is plenty of beautiful fresh produce. Everything looks good. Cold cuts are Boars Head and they will make you a sandwich. Meat is behind a counter. Just ask the butcher for what you want. They have Italian food items like passata and lots of pastas, sausage and oil. They also have the usual pantry staples like loaf bread, canned goods and condiments.We picked up quite a few items during our visit and are very happy to have found this grocery store with old world customer service.”
“Scuffed Formica, handwritten specials… these places are to be cherished because they will soon disappear.Vegetarian options: I mean, I guess the fries and onion rings were vegetarian.Dietary restrictions: Don’t tell your cardiologist you eat here, but it’s a RI institution.”
“Me and my mom went here twice. It was good but parts of the egg looked grey/green both times we went? Other than that it was good. They made us wait like 30 minutes and each time they either messed up our order or they forgot to make something. Haven't tried the deli. The workers are nice but one or two of them you can tell don't wanna be there. It was really cute and offered indoor or outdoor seating but not a lot of room. I would come again for brunch or something but not my go to place.”
“Great place. Sighty overpriced on some items, but overall, good selection and friendly staff.Perfect place. Overpriced on some items, but overall good selection and friendly staff.”
“Ralph's Catering is simply outstanding all around. He catered my uncle's funeral collation and the food was fantastic (I thought I made the best tomato sauce until I had his). Well-organized, staff was attentive and friendly, and Ralph himself came around to make sure everyone was happy. You honestly cannot do better and will only waste your money elsewhere. Thank you, Ralph. My family is so grateful to you and yours.”
“I tried the stewed okra over rice. The dish was simple but very fresh and tasty. An excellent vegetarian offering. The only thing that could make it better would be to add some herbs to the stewed vegetables.”
“First visit to Bistro Cafe. Many tasty sounding options on the menu. I was told the steak egg and tater tot skillet was enjoyable. The pancakes were okay, not great but I did like the blueberry compote. Will return to sample something else.”

“It's been awhile since I've been to Chapel Grille and it was fantastic! This was the best Fra Diavolo I've ever had, cooked perfectly with a bit of a sweet flavor and just a little heat. My mom was celebrating her birthday and had a wonderful appetizer and meal as well, a sweet surprise dessert and brought one home. Everything was great.”
“I asked for a medium rare burger, but it came a litte too rare. Otherwise, great atmosphere, plenty of things to watch while you eat, friendly staff, just a little bit pricey. Definitely more of a once in a while type of eating out, but worth it. Loved the food loved the stay. Made for a lovely date night.”
“Great atmosphere and good food. Our chicken parm was delicious but the portion was a bit small. Our pasta was also great but the brocolli rabe was a bit over-salted. Still enjoyed our meal and would come back again.”
“I dined here with my 91 year old mom for the Leap Day lobster special. Given the crowd, this was clearly a very popular event, but the vibe was energetic and upbeat without being annoyingly loud. Couples, groups of friends and families with their kids, all seemed to be having a great evening. Jaelin was our server and did a fabulous job throughout the evening. She was friendly and professional and never got rattled in spite of the fact she was waiting on multiple tables simultaneously. I observed that she was patient with all customers; answering questions and making recommendations, all with a high degree of efficiency. The lobsters were delicious; a nice mid winter treat at a very good value. We ordered a side of fries and an excellent wedge salad to share. A couple of cocktails and we headed for home very satisfied. Thanks to all of the staff who were really focused on service excellence!”
“Decor was pretty outdated but that made it rather charming. The restaurant was packed with happy patrons. It was a 1st time visiting on a 1st date. The date didn't end so well but I left very happy with my meal choice...8oz filet mignon with 2 baked stuffed shrimp, sides of mashed potatoes and broccoli with butter and grated cheese. Yum!!!Parking: Plenty of handicapped spots ?”
“good service, GREAT food, and awesome drinks. so good and great environment. Pool tables and darts, multiple tvs! great place to hang and drink / get an app. mind you, we came here when it is not busy. cannot tell you the quality during busy hours”
“I’m revising my previous review. We took time away from this location. I talked to management… we’d been coming since it opened. We decided to give it another try. Well this is the 5 time back and it’s been flawless. Food service everything excellent! I’m glad to say Congrats for getting it right. Highly ”
“I dine at Fresco‘s (dinner) 3 to 4 times a month and the food is always excellent and the service is fantastic.  Tucked away on the industrial side of Comstock Parkway, this hidden gem didn't stay hidden for long. The cars filling up the parking lot each weekend are a testament to just how good it is.  This time, one of their drink specials was a spicy pomegranate margarita. If you like spicy margaritas, you won't be disappointed with this one!”
“Cleanliness, I know is hard. The attitude is not for everyone. Especially me. Throw attitude at me, everything to protect my feelings is coming back on you. Oppressing others is not my job.Dietary restrictions: Glad DD's has considered some health issues like sugar alternatives and flavoring options that make their business enjoyable. Thank you.”
“Food was amazing. Time was quick, got our food within 10 minutes. Owner was one of the nicest men I have ever met, maybe even the nicest. We ordered a small calzone, and he gave us a medium with no extra charge! We got one cheese pie, and one Royal Steak Calzone. The food came out steaming. Cheese had a nice pull, and the flavor and crispiness were on another level. The presentation was also really good, being served on an elevated spinning plate. Overall 10/10 stars, if I could put more I would.”
“Great space and good atmosphere. Came here for the second time to watch Brainscan. Would highly recommend if your looking for a new brewery to try. Definitely check out their events.”
“Great place for food! It’s a bit outdated but that’s what’s actually cool about this place, food is amazing!!! Pizza is very very good! I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to dine in or out, just a heads up parking is a bit tough here.”
“First time eating there got a chicken quesadilla and it was by far one of the best ones I've ever had definitely go check out this restaurant and get your grub ”
“The best chocolate covered donuts in the state!Also bought pizza strips which are also the best! Very moist and great sauce!Parking: Absolutely no issues with parking”
“I love the food! It was so subtle but if you’re a sweets fan you’re going to love it here! I went with my family and my mother and father had some savory crepes so there’s savory options too! The tea was delightful the berries on my waffle were fresh and Bee our server was delightful and refreshing! There were not many people in there either, yet was on saint patties day. I’d definitely go here again!!”
“This place has the best indian food i've ever had and quickly became my personal favorite restaurant from the first time i've ever had it. they serve several authentic indian dishes with amazing flavors but my personal favorites have been the butter chicken, the chicken and shrimp short breads, tandoori chicken, garlic naan and mango lassi. The service was amazing and the restaurant was decorated so nicely! 12/10 would definitely recommend coming here!!”
