Finally got to try Asempe Kitchen at the Ithaca Farmers Market - it was actually my first stop of…read morethe day! 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!

Asempe means curiosity and in this case ours was rewarded with a delicious Ghanaian Vegan feast at…read moreAsampe Kitchen in Ithaca, NY. 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 went to Authentic Jerk Restaurant and Grill recently for lunch and absolutely loved it! It was a…read morepop up stand but now has a location inside of the Center Ithaca. We ordered the Large Fricassee Chicken (with chicken leg and chicken tender) and the Small Curry Chicken. The woman who was working was very kind, answered all our questions, and gave us recommendations! The large entrees came with 2 sides which were the Mac n Cheese and the Cabbage and the meat is served over rice and beans. The small entrees came with 1 side which was the Cabbage (meat also served over rice and beans). I absolutely loved both meats I tried. The Fricassee Chicken had both juicy and some slightly tougher spots but was overall very flavorful. It came with bell peppers which brought a nice bright crunch to the heavier meal. The Curry Chicken was also very flavorful and saucy. For the sides: Personally, I'm not a mac and cheese fan but this was soo good. I highly recommend getting the large; great portion size and definitely can fill you up for 2 meals easily. I loved trying a bit of everything together - the chicken, the mac and cheese, the sauce, the rice and beans... soo good. I'd recommend you come and support a locally owned business!

Parking is sparse, street parking was convenient on a Sunday though. We stopped for lunch - they had a small menu compared to what was listed online. We settled on some burgers, and the shrimp sandwich. Everything was very good, well cooked burgers, with toppings and crispy fries. Sodas were refreshing and our waitress was friendly. Nice to have indoor or outdoor option. Would return for dinner, which looked like it had a larger menu!

Our recent visit was lackluster. My friend's salad special had large chunks of lettuce stalks and…read morevery large pieces of lettuce. They joked- can I request they chop it up? My French onion soup was not warm and the melted cheese was solidified. We tried to move forward except for our blonde server girl- obviously not wanting to be there and bordering on rude ( even though we were her only customers at the time). Example- my friend asked for a side plate to help cut up the large salad piece- delivered after 10 minutes wait...banged on the tabletop. I didn't dare mention my soup was cold! That killed any ambiance- only 3 tables filled but the wait staff wanted to set up outside rather than be bothered with us. Our first visit of the year... probably our last!

I ordered online and picked up the food within 15 minutes, which was quite fast. The mountain of fried chicken in my sandwich were juicy and had a hint of spiciness to it. I detected some cinnamon, which was not a turnoff. The brioche bun was pillowy and buttery, and the chips were yummy. The carne asada fries were also really good and flavorful, although they were a bit too salty for me. I would consider it one of the best foods I have had in Ithaca. Although I have not tried the other things on their menu, I am excited to in the future! 5 stars to the place and their team! :)
