I've never had African food before, so I came to Nilotic Experience with some anxiety, but I am so…read moreglad that I took the chance. Honestly, this is some of the best food I have ever eaten and you can really taste the love and experience chef Nyawal puts into her food. I was expecting curry flavors similar to India or the sharp spices they use in the Middle East, but South Sudanese food is extremely distinct and a must try. This being my first order, Nyawal gave me a free sample of Jollof Rice with Beef Cabbage and Kop with Spinach in addition to my order of Beef Sombosas and Mein with Molokhia Chicken Stew. Every dish was extremely distinct yet amazingly delicious. Mein with Molokhia Chicken Stew | This dish definitely looks the most intimidating, but I have a love for stews and mashed potato like foods. The Mein (the potato looking starch under the stew) is a flavor sponge. The best way I can describe it would be sort of like thick grits but fluffy like mashed potatoes. The chicken is white meat but extremely moist and well cooked. The overall flavors are mild yet definitive and warm. You can really taste the experience and care the went into creating it and I would imagine that many Sudanese families eat something like this often on their dinner tables. If you're not into squishy textures this may not be for you, however, I think it is worth a try and is definitely top of its class. Sombosas | These were utterly outstanding and some of the best deep-fried foods I have ever tried. The skin is not too thick or too oily. The filling is strongly flavored with turmeric and has a great ratio of meat to vegetable. The sombosas are definitely more aggressive in flavor than the mein with molokhia stew and is a great flavor enhancer between bites. Jollof Rice with Beef Cabbage | This dish was mild, sweet, delicately spiced, and truly highlighted the flavors of beef and cabbage. If you are into cabbage rolls or even borscht, this is a dish that resonates in the same way but with Sundanese flare. The rice was beautifully yellow and perfectly al dente, giving the beef cabbage the perfect bed to rest on. Kop with Spinach | I've never had Kop, but it is very similar to couscous. I've only had the very small couscous or Israeli couscous which is huge, but Kop is instead irregular in shape and size creating a very interesting mouthfeel and texture. It gives me the same vibe as Dippin' Dots in the best way possible. This was only dish that was acidic and it was wonderfully bright while retaining the warm delicious flavors found in the rest of the foods. In this review I have used language as if I was an expert of the cuisine, but this was my first time experiencing it. The quality and execution of the food was so good I have no doubt in my mind that this must be some of the best you can get. The flavors of all the dishes are so well thought out and lovingly crafted and chef Nyawal uses typically pungent spices to create a harmoniously delicious symphony of flavors. All of the flavors I experienced today were very unique and I am so happy that I had the opportunity to try them. Nilotic Experience is an easy 5/5 and I would definitely order again.

The food was flavorsome, delectable, wholesome and just plain and simply delicious. The blend of spices was warm and aromatic, yet with incredibly unique notes. A hybrid resembling Indian and Arabic cuisines, only more rounded and hearty. I would rate this way above the standard Mediterranean fare. Everyone who considers themself a foodie should try this, and everyone else should too. Personally, am familiar with African cuisines and this was authentic, superb and a taste sensation straight from the motherland.

We had sliced Tri-tip (steak) Santa Margarita with peppers and mushrooms. Perfectly cooked and seasoned with gravy. We had a medley of fresh, steamed vegetables with a light butter/Parmesan sauce. We had a gigantic chef's salad with rolls and butter. We had chili with crackers. Our next order is for chicken and green chili enchiladas. We ordered one or more bottles of wine to be delivered with each meal. Be sure to look at the pull down menu of wines and beverages. Some wine prices are extraordinarily low for the quality. We recommend this service. BTS is one of the world's finest catering companies. They feed NBC staff at sporting events. They feed San Diegans at the Farmer's Open golf tournament, Miramar Air Show, Red Bull Air Races, and weddings. They know how to prepare flavorful food for discerning customers. We have also loved the left overs. Order now. You will receive joy along with incredibly good food and wine. You will feed a lot of people for the money.

We are addicted and will only use the Ohsawa Nama Shoyu, which is an organic and unpasteurized soy sauce from Japan. Our Whole Foods used to carry it and now they don't and I've looked at some of the local Asian markets but cannot find it so we order from Gold Mine. In all of the years I've been ordering, I have only had one misstep with an order. It was during COVID and I typically order the 32oz bottle which will last us for about 4-5 months. What came that time were two small bottles and I had a bit of a challenge getting in touch with them during that time. Once I was able to talk to someone, they were quick to rectify the situation and they shipped out the big bottle. The shipping is always great with the bottles being bubbled wrapped and then wrapped in thick shipping paper to secure the bottle and get it unbroken to the destination. It also has only taken about 4-5 days from order to arrival. Wanted to give Gold Mine an updated shout out!!! We are customers for life!

ABOUT: From their website: "Gold Mine Natural Food Company is a family run, San Diego local small business. We sell high quality, organic, macrobiotic, vegan, gluten-free, raw, kosher and specialty Japanese products. In house we produce organic, raw, unpasteurized sauerkraut by hand in small batches. Gold Mine was founded with the intention of sharing the healing power of food." Most importantly, they have a great history on how they got started. It's a business that started in 1985 on a $300 loan ! You can find their products at most local health food stores nowadays like Jimbo's and Sprouts. They are known for their Ohsawa Organic Nama Shoyu and organic, raw sauerkraut ! Both of which I've had in the past ! Their other best sellers include: GF Kelp noodles, green pea chips, and mung bean chips Check out their website for online products, recipes, events, cooking classes/demos, etc.: http://shop.goldminenaturalfoods.com/ EVENT DETAILS: I was fortunate to go to an event here: Vegan Oktoberfest Benefit for Vegetarian Educational Institute (VEI). VEI is a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating people about the health benefits of a vegan/macrobiotic lifestyle. I'm all about supporting businesses that teach the public about better health and nutrition. Food is thy medicine and this place is all about that. KUDOS to them ! Located in the heart of Poway (not too far from home WOOHOO!) and they have a large manufacturing facility that distributes traditional macrobiotic foods and other organic products such as heirloom quality grains, beans, and seeds. They also host classes, event parties, and cooking demos here ! Parking was plentiful on a Saturday evening. Indoor/outdoor set-up. Everything was SPOOKtacularly decorated. The indoor space had a large seating area and a bar with stools. What can I say ? Awesome event ! They celebrated the launch of their new GOLDEN KRAUT !! I'm a sucker for kraut and I was krauted out after this night ! They offered all you can eat FREE BARBEQUE ! We enjoyed vegan frankfurters with Gold Mine Sauerkraut and Kimchi, cucumber salad, potato salad, Maya's Cookies (BOMB.com), and other goodies ! They also had unlimited Green Flash Beer for $10 ! Everything was DEEE-LICIOUS !!! The potato salad was addicting ! I couldn't get enough of it ! The sauerkraut and kimchi were plentiful and more than enough ! I was overwhelmed and as an Asian chick I'm a sucker for fermented foods. The cucumber salad was very refreshing and was a nice addition to the flavorful, vegan frankfurter that can even fool an omnivore. NOMNOMNOM !!! They also had great raffle prizes from Solti juice, Maya's cookies, shirts, gift sets from Gold Mine Natural Food Co., and vacation getaways !! Super generous of them ! I won a huge box of Maya's cookies ! WOOT !! I've never had these cookies before and after this event, I agree that they are the BEST VEGAN COOKIES in San Diego ! Hopefully, they can expand their products and have them available in most stores. They might have another event coming up next month and I'm already looking forward to it ! I think the theme is vegan tamales !!! Oh yeah ! So glad I discovered this place, because I am now a huge supporter of them !! Keep spreading the LOVE OF FOOD AND HEALING !!!

It tastes better because it just IS better. He has kept everything consistent- if not improved- for his delivery service. I've tried almost every food service similarly priced and you will find these meals and the delivery service itself heads and shoulders above the competition. I've moved on and don't work for this company in any way and they're not my personal friends so this is not me shelling for my boss- this is me being very proud of my old team and wanting to share with you how amazing what they've accomplished is.
