The food is amazing. Everything is rich in flavor and delicious, I will definitely be returning again. Don't be fooled by the exterior or location. It is clean and welcoming inside and the staff is great and attentive.

Ordered take-out from Kate's and everything is very delicious. Waited for about 30 min at the store and finally got our food. The ox tail is cooked so tender. Love the plantain as well. The fish is also healthier than we thought. It's the last day for us in South Bend and I'm glad I tried this restaurant! read more

Fabulous. I had the Mbuzi with nsima. The best goat dish I have ever had. Wife is vegan and had the Chigwada with fufu. And the Samosas are gluten free! When I left, I felt energized, not heavy, even after having goat for lunch. That says a lot. Highly recommend. It is a treasure. read more

Utensils are half plastic forks and regular silverware. Don't trust the regular silverware. It's gross. The problem is we ordered already and spent $40 on our dinner. It's fast casual. Order at the counter and sit and wait for the food. We ordered already falafel salad, hummus, fries, and a chicken wrap. We wanted the potato chips on the menu u but they don't have it. The other fries Cozumel or something like that didn't have those. No fountain drinks. And the counter where the fountain drinks are was gross. Food came out. Hummus had too much olive oil. Fries were hot-good. Falafel salad was disappointing and small. And the chicken wrap was a chicken dish with rice. I be told the guy I wanted the chicken wrap. He said I charged you for chicken and rice. So that's what I got. Chicken with a white sauce not sure if it was tacziki or garlic and rice. Nothing else like a veggie was there. Chicken was dry and rice was meh. Ate a quarter of it and was afraid I'd get food poisoning. Plus, this is weird. There is a bed in the office back area. Like someone is living there. And half of the restaurant the seating has been removed. Don't come here. Save your money and go someplace not dirty and gross.

The Chicken had Peri Peri sauce on it, but it had not been marinated, true Peri Peri needs to…read moreMarinate at least 24 hours, the side dishes, Peri Peri rice just tasted like normal rice from an Indian Cafe, but Not warm, the grilled corn had grill marks on it, but it too was barely warm. A bit of a disappointment, I love true Peri Peri chicken and drove 75 minutes to come here to try the food. I ate it all and if the sides would have been warm it would have really helped... now, if they didn't call it Peri Peri chicken, just spicy chicken and the sides were nice and hot I could have easily given them a 4 for lots of flavor, losing a star for atmosphere and cleanliness. The good I'd did come fast and the man at the counter did smile!

They run out fast on things that are "tik tok popular" so make sure to call and place your order. Also, African food is NOT fast food. It will take atleast 30-1hr to get your meal. CALL AHEAD.

The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because I feel as there could have been more meat in the meals, especially the fish, for the price that you pay. Other wise A+++++!!

Curve Cafe

I don't write many reviews, but The Curve Cafe absolutely deserves the recognition…read more I schedule my visits around their Crab Cake Eggs Benedict because it's that good. Since it's a special and not always on the menu, I make a point to go whenever it's available. Every single time, it's been perfectly prepared and incredibly consistent. The crab cakes are delicious, the eggs are cooked just right, and the hollandaise sauce is hands down the best I've had in Michiana--even compared to some of the upscale restaurants that charge a lot more for food that doesn't come close. What really sets The Curve Cafe apart is Alex. As the owner, she's the heart and soul of the place, greeting and serving guests while making everyone feel welcome. Her passion for great food and hospitality shines through in every part of the experience. They also serve fantastic mimosas and Bloody Marys, and their Friday fish fry is another local favorite that's well worth checking out. In all the times I've eaten here, I've never had a bad meal. The food is consistently excellent, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and it's exactly the kind of locally owned restaurant our community should be proud to support. If I could convince Alex to franchise this place, I would in a heartbeat. The rest of Indiana deserves to know just how amazing The Curve Cafe is. Five stars without a doubt!

I love the fact that they limit the order to 3 rolls for the first order, then you can always order more if you finished your meal. It reduces waste. The rolls I ordered were mostly rice, a good amount of avocado, and very little meat. My meal ended up being $23 for a hot tea, a soup, and two rolls with very little fish. To me, it was not worth it. I'm not a big eater, I didn't want more rolls (more rice) I would have preferred higher quality rolls. Quality over quantity. But I guess when you're paying for an all-you-can-eat meal, what I got was expected. The ambiance was chill, just another couple of customers, one sushi chef and one waitress. It's quite a big place.

As someone who eats a lot of East African cuisine I was particularly pleased to have a variety of the continent all in one place. I had never had egusi before. Its a new favorite! The samosas are some of the best you can get in the area. While its off the "beaten path," the setting is pleasant and allows you to enjoy a truly authentic experience. The service is spectacular as well, they came around with water to wash your hands so you could eat the food the way God intended. read more

This food is such a joy. I love foods from other cultures so am not a stranger to them but Kate's food has flavors and textures that are unique compared to anything I have ever experienced. Her staff is warm and inviting. The restaurant is thoughtfully decorated and clean with a view of trees and sky. The entrance is in the back of the building so look for the stand-up signage. We will DEFINITELY be returning regularly and bring friends to share this amazing experience. read more
