What to order: Birria flautas · Pineapple margaritaI’m still on the hunt for good tacos in Brooklyn, so I decided to try this place since I’ve passed it many times. First, I want to say the server was very nice, and the restaurant itself was clean. The food was just okay overall. The tacos I ordered were fine, and the porgy fish was decent as well. My only real issue was with the spicy wings. They came out pretty quickly, which made me feel like they might have been frozen or something—maybe that’s why the taste was off. They didn’t taste good

What to order: Devil's Playground · Rodney Bay Rum Punch · Jerk Chicken PaniniLast night was my first and last time at the Rogers Garden. Upon entry, there was a woman who checked my ID and then asked to check my handbag. It's not uncommon for establishments to check bags so I didn't find the request odd. To my shock, when I opened my bag she fully reached inside and started rummaging through my things. I said "I didn't know you were going to put your hand inside my bag" to which she responded "because I can't see." I then snapped at her and told her that she should've as

Restaurant owner should stop being greedy for money !!! All your food especial

I Ordered lambi on their DoorDash and the menu says it comes with a plantain cups I paid $22.30 I waited almost 2hrs for my food just to get a completely wrong order I got marinade instead of lambi.

10/10 across the board. I went to Westwood Bar about a week ago with a friend and honestly? No notes. The food was amazing, like actually delish, not just “good.” The service was insanely good, everyone working there was a literal ray of sunshine, and the drinks were top-tier, done right, no misses. One of those places where the vibe, food, and staff all hit at the same time. Will 100% be back.

The food here is good quality and great portions as you can see from the double cheeseburger combo picture. It’s one of the better halal food spots that are in NYC. The only downside would be that it doesn’t have any good seating but to be honest, halal food is usually takeout anyway so its not a big deal at all. I have been here multiple times and the quality and service have been consistently good.

Came for drinks and ended up trying some food too. The bar is still the highlight. Dani behind the bar is elite. Drinks are consistent, smooth, and she keeps the energy right. She made it feel like I was a regular from the jump. My cousin had the mixed fruit margarita and it was great. I had a rum runner and that was on point too. Both drinks were balanced and went down easy. My cousin had the chicken fried rice. It was solid but right on the edge of being dry, just needed a little more moistu

Vegetarian operation dishing up fried rice, noodles & other Chinese standards, plus sandwiches.
i know God is real b/c They let me live around the corner from this place. this place is such a staple in my life, being vegan and on a budget. it says vegetarian (they’re Buddhist) but there’s no dairy or eggs, so it’s fully vegan. prices are super affordable and they have a wide array of options (i only wish they had a bit more cause i go there so often!) don’t sleep on the curry rolls. BUT!!! what makes this place SO GREAT is Yannee/Yen, the cashier - she is SUCH a star ⭐️ a sweet and spicy d

Really cool place in Flatbush. Parking is a challenge but that’s the only challenge. Food is pricey but delicious and the service is excellent. Slow on a busy night but not crazy. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff help you through the menu and options and they have constant service professionals cleaning in between dishes and diners. Love the bar seating options for travelers or someone just looking to grab dinner. Highly recommend.

I visited this coffee shop on Avenue C while I was waiting to meet a friend who was running a bit late. While exploring the area, I came across this place and decided to try their Oreo shake, which turned out to be very delicious and refreshing. The staff were extremely polite and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I really liked the interior design of the shop—it felt comfortable, clean, and nicely organized. The place looked very well maintained. I’m not completely sure, but i

One of the places I miss most in Flatbush. Fresh produce and meats, every kind of Mexican drink, and one of my favorite lowkey kitchens. Would come here all the time for tortas, picaditas, and burritos.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Golden Blue Restaurant Bar and Grill is hands down my favorite Haitian restaurant and one of the most beautiful community hubs you will ever experience. The food is consistently delicious, flavorful, authentic, and made with so much care. Every dish feels like home. I’ve known the owner for almost 20 years, and what makes this place truly special is not just the cuisine, but the spirit behind it. His wife is a master chef, the kind of cook who understands that food is culture, memor

I'm sorry, don't believe the hype. I'm extremely disappointed. Where do I start.... I ordered a small Oxtail pizza. It cost 20 something. Yes, 20 something. Honestly, because it's Oxtail, i understand as a Caterer myself, but because this was a haitian establishment, I was expecting flavor and spicy. It was not at all what I got it would be. No spice and it was lacking seasoning, and it was cheesy but not like that melting pizza cheesy style. I even asked to put the pikliz on it, and instead
