Chowing down on the tarragon chickpeas, perfect broccolini, and pickled kohlrabi slaw during a stop on the side of the road was one of the best meals we've had in a long time. We wish there were more chefs and restaurants serving wholesome and delicious plant-based meals like that. Her baked goods were also out of this world. I appreciated that she had a few coconut-free options such as the chocolate tahini cookie (delicious). We were heartbroken to learn that the business is likely closing down soon as the owner retires.

I picked up one of their vegan peanut lime cold noodles from CTB on a recent business trip…read more I typically don't like cold noodles, but I needed something quick for my flight. I didn't eat it until 4 hours after I got it so it had ample time to "defrost" and the flavors shined more. It was so delicious. The right amount of spice and creaminess from the peanut butter. I wish they had it in Dallas. I'm trying to make my own right now at home.

My sister absolutely devoured the bowl, but one of the dishes I had was peanut butter-based... and I'm just not a peanut butter girl like that. That said, the flavors were bold and clearly made with love. If you're into rich, hearty, West African dishes - especially ones with peanut sauce - you'll probably really enjoy it. Just wasn't fully my thing, but I'm still glad I finally got the chance to try them!

Nkatsi Froyi & Saffron Rice: "Creamy natural peanut butter cooked slowly with onions, ginger, garlic, tomatoes, and a blend of spices, creating a rich stew" Red Red & Plantains: "A flavorful Ghanaian favorite, Red-Red is a stew of black-eyed peas simmered with onions, ginger, garlic, and tomatoes" Egusi & Saffron Rice: "Rich and hearty, this traditional West African stew combines spinach with onions, ginger, garlic, tomatoes, and spices" Emomi & Saffron Rice: "Dive into this luscious stew where okra meets a medley of onions, ginger, garlic, and tomatoes, all simmered together" Brodze: "A side of sweet & melt-in-your-mouth fried plantains! Comes with 7 pieces" Sobolo: "Hibiscus, ginger, cloves, cane sugar, African spice Cold with ice" I'm generally not a fan of plantains or okra, but both were delicious. The okra wasn't slimy and the plantains we slightly sweet, not starchy. Every dish here was distinctively different. Even better than the food is the attention to hospitality. Four of us shared this feast for about $21 each. If you are by yourself you can get a sampler plate for about $25. We will be back. Food Service Ambiance

I was so stressed about my wedding, when I found out they did set up AND provided chairs as well I was so happy. They took so much stress away that my big day was the best I've ever had. Everything looked so beautiful, better than I had even imagined it could be. The food was one of the best parts of the day. The oxtail was quite literally the best I've ever had. Everyone loved the fried chicken and collard greens as well. They also provided fruit and veggie trays. If you don't book with D3 catering, you are missing out on an amazing opportunity. They're not money hungry, so they aren't going to charge you thousands of dollars. For what they're offering, it's really worth every penny. I know I'll never have a wedding again, but I most certainly will plan some kind of gathering just so I can use them again!!

This was such a treat! I love Levantine food and it was great seeing a full on family restaurant…read morehere in Ithaca. The location is a small little shop in Collegetown on Dryden road. There are not doing dine-in but it's easy to do takeout and delivery. When we first entered, the cutest little girl greeted us cheerfully. The owner, probably her father, was super attentive and friendly. You could tell he takes pride in his food and was happy to chat through the options. It's more of a readymade place but they assemble in-store. I get the sense that maybe the wife and husband both cook and are experimenting with the menu as they are a super new place. The pies are truly amazing. I tried the cheese and beef pies, which had great bread and rich fillings. I had them both at room temperature but I imagine it would be that much better if you warmed it up for 20 seconds or so. The prices are a little more expensive than other options in that area but honestly it's worth it. I am always happy to pay people for the time and effort to make their cultural food. There's nothing better than authentic food! I do wish the chicken sumac sandwich had some greens or pickled turnips in it but the chicken, onion mixture and bread were delicious. I also enjoyed my 7 spice chicken. It felt very comforting and I could see myself getting it if I needed something simple and comforting. It's definitely warmly spiced with hints of cinnamon. Can't wait to go back and try their salads and other dishes. Overall: Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Decor: 5/5 (simple but cute) Pricing: 5/5 Location: 4/5 convenient for Collegetown residents but parking is a little rough

Not your traditional middle eastern place, but I think that makes it special. If you're expecting a…read morebasic gyro place then you'll be disappointed, but if you're open to trying new things with unexpected flavors then you'll love this place! They have some amazing "pies," which can also be described as breads. Their beef one is my favorite, the dough is soft and the meat is well seasoned (I believe allspice?). If you're vegetarian then the cheese one has some type of feta-like cheese which is nicely salty. Their entrees are very big. The chicken dish is a whole 1/4 chicken (drumstick and thigh) with a thick sauce served over rice. The kufta meatballs dish includes about 5/6 medium meatballs and are also served over rice. The flavor is there, it's lightly salted, and you can tell it's a nice home cooked meal. I would love if they pulled back a bit on the protein and added a salad or some greens. But besides I would totally order them again. Finally I tried their chicken sandwich. The bread is delicious and the chicken filling consists of a chicken and onion stew. It's extremely flavorful and filling. They pile on the meat, but if they reduce that and add some veggies I think it might be more popular. Even so, it's worth a try. I'll be coming back often to try the soups and stews!
