It all came out to $12 dollars and lasted for two days. The jollof had more of a smoky/peppery flavor than Nigerian jollof I've had in the past. The standout to me was the fried chicken, l loved how the African spices enhanced the flavor. I saw a previous review where someone called this place ghetto and unsafe which isn't fair. Can it be intimidating to walk into because of its appearance and customer service? Maybe, but it's exactly like going to your favorite Jamaican, Spanish, or halal places in the area. The language barriers and cultural differences shouldn't stop you from enjoying new restaurants.

So if you see Tasty Ethnic Foods, Nhyira or Sidibe, all are referring to the same restaurant. For entree I went for jollof rice and waakye. Both of these are very flavorful and slightly spicy rices. By default it comes with chicken fry, mutton curry, boiled egg and fried fish. Portion is huge, and you get to taste everything. And everything is flavorful also. I had a couple of drinks as well. Ginger lamurgreen drink was less like a cola and more like a ginger herbal medicine. It had a strong ginger flavor, which is so strong that it burns in the throat a bit, like herbal medicines do. Housa fura millet drink was also less like a cola. It was more like a congee in a bottle which is slightly sweet. I feel it is more like a meal replacement drink.

I wasn't expecting the kheer to be as tasty as it was, but it is definitely a new favorite South Asian dessert.

So this was my first time trying a vegan restaurant .. which was recommend to me by my friend …read more I will say I'm not vegan and neither is my husband but I wanted to bring my mom and sister who are vegetarian for a nice family dinner . And I am so glad I did ! The food was amazing , the owner is so sweet we got to meet her and she told us her story about wanting to have her own restaurant since forever ! So they normally have a regular menu however they do offer vegan hot pot with a reservation which I highly recommend because it was amazing !!! We tried all the vegan food ( vegan duck , vegan chicken , tofu , fried tofu ) . Which was really good because if you have never tried vegan food before this allowed you the option to try all the different protein options and see which you liked rather than ordering a single dish . And considering I'm not vegan and my husband loves meat a lot ... we still enjoyed ourselves, all the food was delicious and filling ! My favourite was the vegan duck and the fried tofu and the spicy curry ( highly recommend) Even the dessert which was a Oreo and banana pudding was delicious. Overall 10/10 great food , great location and atmosphere, great staff ! I highly recommend even if your a meat lover to go give it a try ... and you might be pleasantly surprised ( I was ) and I will definitely be back to try some more dishes !

However, what we did order hit the spot, and resoundingly so. We ordered one cup of tom yum with coconut milk, one cup of tom yum with clear broth, spring rolls, and chive patties. The tom yum with coconut milk was almost like a curry: very filling and creamy. The tom yum with clear broth was spicy, with every sip bursting with flavour. The portions were absolutely gigantic, and we had plenty left over. The spring rolls were perfectly hot and perfectly crispy. The filling was also delicious. The chive patties were also fried to a crisp, and were my favourite item on the menu. The food took a relatively long time to come, but service was very friendly. The ambiance was warm, with some interesting East Asian artwork. I'm always excited about all-vegan places, just because I can eat everything listen on the menu and don't have to parse carefully to figure out what I can consume. Simultaneously, I hold these establishments to high standards: such restaurants need to be truly exceptional to thrive. My dining partner and I were delighted with our experience at Aroy, and hope to return when we're next in Connecticut.

This is my first time with Tandoor in Middletown but based on glamour reviews of their food by Jon R (look him up!) I decided to pick up meal while passing by. I went with traditional lamb biriyani and Pudina naan bread. For starters, their menu is very diverse. Just the bread section alone and consume you for long hours - which a good thing, the more you can try, the more you experience. Delivery was prompt and food well packaged - definitely somebody put care into wrapping naan correctly. For those that don't find joy in Biriyani, it's a rice based dish (often basmati) with meat like lamb, goat, chicken, beef or shrimp (I got the lamb). The aromas and flavors of ghee, nutmeg, cardamom, cinnamon ginger or chilies stand out, with exotic spices like saffron. Often you find vegetables as well like onions and potatoes. Meat cooked perfectly, tender and flavorful. Ordered portion should feed 3-4 people comfortably (as dish is filling) or leave one person leftovers for next 2 days - yay to next day and yet another one :-) Garlic sauce is a nice compliment if you go with the spicy variety (like me). Overall highly recommended! For vegetarians there is also meat free variant.

Madani's is one of a few businesses in a more residential neighborhood of New Britain between downtown NB and CCSU. The inside is both a food market and restaurant. Although there are two tables squeezed between the kitchen and food display area, the atmosphere is not a selling point and it's safe to call Madani's more of a takeout place. In fact, when I ordered in person, they did not even ask me if I wanted to dine in. Service was professional, but not particularly welcoming. Based upon very quick internet research, ghallaba is a Lebanese stir fry with ingredients such as meat, poultry, onions and/or peppers served with basmasti rice. Madani's dish was served with slightly chewy Halal beef strips and sliced onions - sort of resembling steak fajitas. It was seasoned with warm spices, giving it a well rounded, mildly spicy and smoky flavor. It was very tasty and I would order it again, even though I would prefer more tender beef. The basmati rice was very good and had perfect texture. I noticed a cardamom pod, which I assume was part of the rice rather than the beef. I'm sure that contributed to the great flavor. The meal also came with a small acidic salad of lettuce, tomatoes and onions. The acidity was a welcome contrast to the spicy beef. The dish was served with two condiments. One was a seemingly homemade Green Hot Sauce that I believe is called Zhug (aka, Schug or Zhoug). It was tasty and medium spicy, and I used it in moderation. The second condiment may have been mayonnaise? I'm not sure how that makes sense culinarily speaking, but it looked and tasted like mayo. Feel free to message me if I'm missing something. I had a good first experience at Madani's and I'm sure I'll be back to try something different for takeout. Those lamb chops may be calling my name some night. Four Stars

My food came with two side dishes- a small container of sweet, delicious rice pudding and a second container of what seemed like a mildly spicy tapioca.

Inside is very sparse in decoration. It's clean but in the same way that a hospice is. Staff were kind but not receptive. Most opted to stay in the back and not talk. Food took about 30 minutes to make. They did just open so they were likely not prepped for the day. I took my pics and dug in. The plate was not the most visually appealing. Continuing with the hospice theme, I got a cafeteria lunch tray. The peanut sauce was the highlight. Earthy, creamy, a little bit spicy, but a nice dip for the dosa. The other dips were lacking the same depth, they had some semblance of flavor but it really didn't have much to remember. Dosa was thicker and not as crispy as I like. The fried chickpea donut and white bready puck helped absorb sauce and transport it to be eaten. The donut had a nice onion savory note to it, but the white bready puck was very generic. Nothing was spiced or seasoned well. it was okay, but lacking. Combined with the decor and the staff, it wasn't the most successful meal. If you order to go, you may get a better experience. For me, it's just a bit too bland for my liking.
