Ade is a new Nigerian spot tucked away in East Haven right next to Phil's Driving School, and while…read morethe signage is easy to miss, it's absolutely worth finding. There's plenty of parking around the back, which makes pickup super convenient once you know where you're going. I ordered online and grabbed takeout, and let me just say that the jollof rice is a 10/10. I'm talking back home level good. If you know, you know. I paired it with fish and plantains, and everything was just done right. Pricing is also very reasonable, especially compared to other Nigerian restaurants I've tried. You're getting quality without feeling like you overpaid. I didn't dine in this time, but the space looked pretty big with enough room for guests, and they even have a bar (not sure if it's fully stocked yet since they're new). Overall, this is definitely a spot I'll be coming back to. Lowkey location, but highkey good food.

I absolutely LOVE Ade!! So excited that we finally have an authentic Nigerian restaurant in the…read morearea! I was already familiar with the owner from catering events (highly recommend), so I was overjoyed when I heard they opened a restaurant. I've already been there way too many times. The space itself is beautiful. The ambience feels like a perfect dinner date spot, and they even host events, which is such a great touch. Absolutely love the jollof. It has that perfect smoky party jollof flavor. Their abula and egusi are also really good. I'd recommend asking them to make it spicy if you're used to heat (true Yoruba style haha). Puff puff is always hot, perfectly round, and fluffy when I pick it up, and the meat pies are delicious with a beautiful flaky crust. I seriously can't rave about this place enough. Such a gem!

My friend recently really wanted to dine at Lalibela Ethiopian Restaurant. I have no experience…read morewith Ethiopian cuisine, but being a Yelper who's always willing to try something new, I figured, let's go! Lalibela is located on Temple Street in New Haven. Walking inside around lunchtime, there was just one other table occupied. The waitress quickly welcomed us and brought us menus. I'll be honest, I was not sure what anything was in the menu. It is sorted into four sections: appetizers, beef, chicken and vegetarian. I went with something from the vegetarian section and hoped for the best. My friend went with the chicken and beef. Shortly after, our food was brought out to us. There's no utensils, everything is eaten by hand. We received "injeras" these are somewhat similar to crapes, primarily used for scooping and dipping into an assortment of food. You'll have to gain some experience with eating with these, if you're like me you'll pretty quickly land a stain on your garment. We received a basket full of rolled up injeras. Our plates also had a large spread out injeras. There were three scoops of traditional vegetable meals, lentils, split peas and green beans. The servings were very generous. I enjoyed the flavor profiles on all of these. They ranged from mildly spicy to a bit more spicy. Now that I have some experience at Lalibela, next time I'll be able to modify and customize my plate a bit more. I appreciate that there are so many ways to perfect your options at Lalibela, everything is very flavorful and the portions are substantial. It takes a bit of getting used to having no silverware.

I was a bit bummed that my order got switched around and I ended up with fried eggplant instead of cauliflower, but it was still tasty, if a bit oily.

We ordered ahead and there was no wait to collect out food. Just be careful pulling out of that small parking lot because there's not much room for error when traffic is bad. I'll have to come back for the cauliflower next time!

It was so tasty and they gave a great pour! For my entree, I ordered the Peito de frango mocombique - which is chicken breast served in a spicy sauce. The sides were rice and French fries. The chicken was not spicy at all, but it was moist and very flavorful. The ff and rice were really good, too. Would definitely order this dish again. My friend ordered the bacalhau a bras - which is COD fish Braz style. It was chopped up and served with egg and sautéed onions. It was tasty! Could have used more seasoning or salt. But she did enjoy it! The restaurant itself is beautiful and calm. The server was great! We really enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be back.

I did this by saying "can I have two of the $5 Specials" While assembling the order, the woman behind the counter asked a couple of questions that sounded like standard options (rice, beans, sauce), and I said yes. There was no indication these would increase the price- or that what she was asking me was different than what I ordered. When she showed me the total, it was $37. I questioned it and repeated that I asked for the $5 specials, unsure of how confusion was even possible. Her attitude was rude, dismissive, and honestly uncomfortable. She seemed smug & happy with herself when she told me that the special was "jerk chicken rice - you got jerk chicken" **which I never asked for** At that point I was hungry and she wasn't worth the argument or energy, so I paid. Nothing on the menu reasonably adds up to what I was charged. What an absolutely psychotic experience. Food was ok at best.
