Pretty with cute photo ops, only Dominican music perfect for Spanish Harlem! We went for brunch and although the sangrias and mimosas were super weak, the food was delicious!! We tried tres golpes, steak and eggs, chicken, pasta and all were super abundant, beautifully presented and delicious!!! I'm a foodie so I'd go back for the food but not the extremely loud music and ambience. Would have preferred a variety of music not just Dominican music. (I'm half Dominican by the way and enjoy it but some hip hop would have been cool.) Again this is a party scene. We went to celebrate a 21st year old bday and it was perfect for our group-just not my scene personally but great for the perfect crowd.

Had the pleasure of visiting their booth at Ubeland this year. This was one of the longest lines at…read morethe food festival, but was worth the wait. We had the CEO of Ube. This is described as an ube brioche donut, with ube halaya pastry cream, ube sugar, ube chantilly and ube caramel shards. It was pretty good, better than most donuts I've tried (I'm not a huge donut fan). What I personally enjoyed the most was the Coconut Glazed Ube Roll This is their ube brioche roll rolled with their classic ube halaya, and finished with sweet coconut glaze. It was gooey, had lots of subtle flavors and was great reheated at home. Definitely worth a 20 minute wait, but if you find yourself in a 45 minute long line like I did, maybe try something else in the meantime.

Found out about Gobi's Goods via Instagram and was so pleased when they popped up at Smorgasborg…read morebecause they were delicious! We ordered the CEO of Ube and a Dubai Cinnamon Roll and it was the perfect ending to our Smorgasborg feast. The CEO of Ube is a fluffy cloud of a brioche donut filled with, topped with and dusted with ube. A surprisingly light offering considering the cream filling. The Dubai Cinnamon roll on the other hand, was appropriately decadent. The cinnamon roll was fluffy and tender, with a healthy amount of pistachio paste and kataifi on top. The interior was rolled with dark chocolate, giving it a pleasant bitterness that counteracted the richness of the cinnamon roll. Service was excellent and I do appreciate the fact that once you order, they take the time to put the finishing touches on your pastry before you sit down and devour. Well worth a visit for some unique pastries if you happen to find them at an event!

We got the curry chicken katsu bowl, pork katsu bowl, and a side of fries. The curry had so much depth and umami. I need to know the recipe. The pork katsu was savory, tangy, and slightly sweet, making for a really satisfying meal. They substituted the shishito peppers with green beans, but I didn't mind too much. The fries were so good. They reminded me of McDonald's fries, but somehow even better. I also tried the yuzu mint lemonade, and it was way too tart for my taste. I'd probably skip it next time, but if you love sour drinks, you'll probably enjoy it.

Everything was packaged neatly, with the curry in a separate container from the rice and katsu. P.CURRY RICE BOWL (PORK KATSU) - 17.50 The pork katsu cutlet was still pretty crispy by the time we started eating, and the pork was nice and thick, although it wasn't particularly juicy or tender. I'm very glad that the curry was in a separate container -- not because it would have made everything soggy, but because it was so salty. By the end, I barely made a dent in the curry. The katsu curry isn't exceptional, but it gets the job done. We were just looking for something quick and nearby, and Chef Katsu Brooklyn was only a 10-minute walk away, so it served its purpose.

I went in, and the entire place is marked Self Service. You order at the kiosk and you pick up at the counter, whether dining in or taking out. Okay, fine. This was my first time. Staff is very friendly but difficult to understand, so I took my time translating foods. Settled on Manchurian paneer for the appetizer and a dry chicken (pachi mirchi kodi) biryani for my main course. Nice and spicy. I considered eating in vs. taking out; it's a modern bare place and there are several tables although nothing fancy (hard plastic and wood benches), but the main factor is that the drinks are overpriced. Maybe bring your own? Problem with the kiosk is that I can't just ask for water, nowhere to type in requests - though I do not recommend Parsippany water. Maybe the lassi is worth it but the cups weren't that large for $4 plus. One man's opinion. With that said, now that I've mentioned the kiosk, if you want or need to customize your order (allergies, add-ons, etc.), I do believe you can walk up and order in person as well. Spicy food home after multiple warnings. Verdict? Paneer: Less spicy and less crispy than I expected. Dipping sauces included, but at least one seemed like it was meant for the biryani. The white yogurt sauce I held onto. At least a solid portion size 3.75/5. Biryani: Meat buried under the rice. Good quantity, unique flavor for a "dry meat" dish that I had to look up. Spice maybe a touch hotter on this one. 5/5. Sauces: The brown sauce is thick and not spicy. Made it my dessert. White helped with the heat. Neither sauce was on the menu but they were thrown in with my order, which was nice. Verdict: Fun, convenient, and I'll keep it in mind to try some different things here as I pass every afternoon - but it's not dethroning my favorite.

Goat Pepper Fry - if you're a spicy-food lover, this is the dish you must order here…read more Due to family commitments, I couldn't visit this place when it first opened in my city--but better late than never, right? We went on a cold Sunday night, and to my surprise, the place looked completely deserted. It immediately felt more like a takeaway spot than a proper dine-in restaurant. The paper plates, plastic cutlery, and overall setup confirmed it. And yes--my guess was right. Their business model is clearly focused on takeaway / online orders / to-go, with very little emphasis on dine-in even though they have 6-7 tables that could seat around 28 people. It's just not their priority, it seems. Anyway, I ordered at the counter: Goat Pepper Fry I honestly can't recall having a better version anywhere. Rajni's version comes close, but this one wins in consistency and flavor. Absolutely worth it. Pachi Mirchi Kodi Biryani- Let's not call it biryani--because it's not. But as a dish? Fantastic. It's more like chicken gravy mixed with rice, and it tastes really good. but its miles away from being called BIRYANI. I'm a big mutton/lamb/goat and biryani lover. Most people hesitate to try goat at restaurants due to the smell, but I always give it a shot--knowing I'll be disappointed 70% of the time. This time, it paid off. Overall, I'd give them a 4/5, but: * I'm deducting 1/2 star for hygiene. Even if dine-in isn't their focus, the restaurant still needs basic cleaning. Tables, stands, and doors were visibly dirty. * Another 1/2 star for the paper plates and plastic cutlery. I can't enjoy biryani with tiny plastic spoons--they practically cut your lips. So technically it's 3/5, but that Goat Pepper Fry is such a highlight that I'm pushing it back to 4/5. I'll definitely be trying more items from them.
