Food was ok. Nothing special. For the 2 of us they were including a 25% tip, food is way over priced already and they should leave the tip to the customer unless big party. So go through your check. The place is actually called Meza restaurant.

This is NOT a Soul Food restaurant. The mac & cheese looks & tastes as if I came out of the blue box with dinosaurs on it. The collards were too bitter to doctor up. Years ago, there was a Soul food spot in the area. I ordered sides online after a long day and was sorely disappointed. I can't speak to the Ethiopian food but I'm sad to say the Soul food is every bit as terrible as previous reviews. I should've read them & saved the trouble. Also, the building has no sign for NeNe's. It's operating as part of the cafe of a different restaurant

I’m giving 1 star because u argue with customers too much and the food looks nasty. I would never come to this place because of your (the owners) bad attitude.
You are right, I don’t want to try it. Looks nasty.

We visited this restaurant toward the end of March and placed our order in person, not over the phone. While we were curious to try the combination of soul food and Ethiopian cuisine, we were left disappointed — especially with the soul food.
My in-law ordered the tilapia sandwich and didn’t enjoy it at all. The bread was hard, the fish portion was very thin, and the mayonnaise had a sour taste, which was off-putting. The overall flavor and quality did not reflect what we expected from a place promoting soul food.
The inside of the restaurant could’ve been cleaner, which added to the underwhelming impression. The lady at the front was very nice, and we appreciated her friendliness — but unfortunately, that was the only highlight.
In our opinion, soul food is not their specialty. We had higher hopes, but this visit missed the mark.

Let’s get one thing straight: I wanted to love this place. I’m Black, I support Black-owned businesses, and I pulled up ready to eat good. But what I got? That mac and cheese was so offensively bad I felt like I owed myself an apology for ordering it.
It was dry, flavorless, and looked like it had been punished before it got to my table. I’ve had more soul in a Saltine cracker. And every time someone leaves a factual, polite review, y’all respond like we’re trying to dismantle the civil rights movement. Please.
Yes, you’re Black-owned. And guess what? So am I. That doesn’t make your food immune to criticism. Being Black doesn’t mean we have to accept mediocrity in the name of solidarity. If anything, it should make you want to deliver excellence even more not hide behind identity every time someone calls out a dusty dish.
Fix the recipe. Stop the clapbacks. Stop gaslighting your own customers. We’re rooting for you but not at the expense of our palates.
Until then, I’ll support Black-owned spots that season their food and handle feedback like grown folks.

I had to wait almost an hour to receive my food, my Mac and cheese was Kraft Mac and cheese and the portion was small. The food definitely wasn’t worth the price.

Yeah the food was ok. I liked the collard greens. I’d say looking at the other reviews, it’s not to tear yall business down, but rather giving necessary feedback so yall can find ways to improve yall business. Take that in

I went to order food and the service was absolutely terrible. The woman at the front counter was so dismissive when I asked where I could order. Her response was “the menu is online”. She proceeded to speak with the next customer like I wasn’t there so I left. Judging by the reviews I made the right choice. If you want some really good soul food, First Impressions is about 10 minutes away from this location and they will not disappoint!

The restaurant staff is incredibly unprofessional. Their food was terrible and they screwed up our reservations!
NENE NEED HER BLACK CARD TAKEN…. GREENS CAME STRAIGHT FROM THE PLANTATION TO MY PLATE
The Mac and cheese has no cheese. Sweet potatoe pie was store bought— do not order from here.
