“Two Hommés is a culinary gem tuck away in Inglewood right next to the Ralphs on LaBrea and Centinela. I walked in during Sunday Brunch and I was welcomed by bigs smiles by the host. I learned that Two Hommés serves west African fusion and high quality food.I supported this Black-Owned business and ordered their house made crab cakes. They so fresh, delicious, and tasty. The owner Chef AB was so kind and lovely. He added grits, a biscuit, and a lemonade. 10/10 I recommend.“

“Clean, cute, good service, yummy. I got the Bachos which like a Jamaican nachos. I never had Jamaican food to know but I liked it. Salty for me but I don't add salt to anything and the Frito type chips already come that way I think. I got the lentil as my protein, which was like crumbled falafel. The cheese sauce was like a salad dressing texture and flavor. Reminded me of Cesar salad dressing. I think I found a raisin in there and I didn't mind. Would definitely come back. Thanks for feeding this vegan passing by the area.“

“The purple sweet potato soup was one of the best soups I ever had outside my own kitchen. The table water is fresh and filtered to refreshing taste. My fish sandwich had great coke slaw and special sauce with pickles and jalapeños however the fish had been fried twice to warm it up. It was crusty near burnt.

“Food is great! My first experience here was 4th of july 2023. I knew they would be busy, so i called hours ahead for my pick up order and when i got there it wasn't ready because my ticket was buried under other orders and was missed. So i had to wait additional time for my food, per why i ordered ahead. Smdh. And my portions was small!!Second time around, i wanted to try chicken but they were out. The guy that took my order seemed like he didnt want to be there, no smile, no greeting, just no customer service skills what so ever. Food came out fast, bigger portions this time. Just dont know why both times bbq sauce was in my greens, i dont like that.“

“The food is great, a vegan take on soul food, but the wait is ridiculous. I've ordered many times hoping the wait improves, and as of current it hasn't. They open at 6pm and for me that is already late to have a meal, but worse I end up getting my order at least 1 1/2 to 2 hrs. after the designated pickup time.

“I went for lunch with a friend during the week. It was near the holidays, so pretty empty. There was one guy working the tables and the service was fine (he was friendly but took his time to come over).They definitely give you large portions, which I was happy about. I had the jambalaya and my friend ordered the salmon croquettes. Both were seasoned well and the accompanying corn bread was delicious. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is because the chicken in my jambalaya had a slightly rubbery, processed taste/texture. Maybe I had a bad batch but to have such an important ingredient not work left me slightly disappointed.But I still enjoyed myself enough that I would go back again. I'd just have a different dish.“

“I've been going to the Inglewood Dulans for years and the food has always been consistently good. My wife loves the fried chicken and there red beans and rice are delicious. I've been getting the short rib meal for years and its for the most part always delicious. But recently I bought the short ribs dinner a couple times this month and I noticed they changed the cut of the meat to flanken cut short ribs that is now less seasoned and chewy like bubblegum. Very disappointing especially since the short rib dinner is one of the most expensive plates that they sale. Not sure if this is a temporary change but I hope they switch back to the original short ribs they were selling. If you're planning on trying the short ribs you might want to ask them if the short ribs are flanken and if they are I probably would choose a different meat. On a different note their peach cobbler is delicious“

After ordering online, I picked up my order and upon getting home I realized the order was incorrect. I called and talked to the lovely Tosha who admitted the restaurant's mistake (wrote down the order wrong), apologized, and offered me a free meal to make up for the mistake. Genuinely some of the best customer service in Los Angeles - I am so impressed. I can't thank you all enough. I was already a fan and loyal patron but this sealed the deal. Please support this business!“

The dressing was very well flavored, but I wish it was a little less smooth.We arrived just as the restaurant was closing but the food was still really good. The husband and wife team were also very friendly! We will be going back the next time we’re in the area. ?“

It was my first time here, so I didn't get a chance to really experiment on food (chicken sausage, eggs, and pancakes), but it was pleasant. Good prices and a local spot you should not miss.“

“So, I decided to give this spot another try since the food was good first time. This time I opted to call at 530pm.... Google says open until 9pm. She said "We are closed! "Wtf it's 530! She said ok, I will take your order ...I said well I am driving 40 min away...she said okay! How sweet.., I asked for 1 oxtail dinner and 1smothered steak. Asked for yams and greens and mac and cheese. I got 3 sides Mac and greens only. Still grateful to, because I told her I only had some of the cash and she said it's ok and kindly sent me home! Main issue I have is ....I didn't get ANY gravy at all I had a comfort food craving and that entails lots of smothered gravy. I had to come home and make some gravy. I believe they have new owners because the name changed to Sol of Los Angeles. There is a buffet in Gardena...it's written on the wall!****Owners ****please update the hours on line ,I drove really far and they were closing hours earlier. I included a screenshot of the information given. I just tried the smothered steak I used to love and this one today is dry, unflavored and hard with no gravy. Oxtails we're very small and minimal, no gravy and overpriced for the value. Both these items total close to $40....“

“Lee's Market in Watts, California, serves up an unforgettable fried chicken experience. The use of fresh grease gives the chicken a crispy exterior and tender interior. Expertly seasoned, the flavors are well-balanced, catering to various preferences. The local charm adds to the overall dining ambiance. In short, Lee's Market is a must-visit for those craving delicious, perfectly fried chicken. Highly recommended! 01/22/22“

“I finally got a chance to try this taco truck out. I have been seeing it all on instagram so I wanted to support this black owned business and also know if it lived up to the hype? Yes! First the service is great everyone was friendly and helpful. Also I didn't wait long. I want to say at the max I waited 6 or 7 minutes for my order to be ready. I ordered the LAtryguy special $27 + $1 for card. Which comes with 2 enchilada parm tacos (I got 1 steak and 1 chicken no olives or cilantro) and parm Doritos tacos (1 ground turkey and 1 chicken no onions or tomatoes) and a large kool-Aid fruit punch All of them were good but my favorite is the chicken and I did like the enchilada tacos the best. Very flavorful. My only con was the price. I felt like damn near $30 for 4 tacos is a bit much. To where I couldn't see my self coming here often to spend that on a regular. The food and service was really good and the kool-aid was the best I've ever had. But the prices will make me pause in returning.“

Plates are well portioned, for a great price. And we ain't gonna talk about the Peach Cobbler??. Gotta get there early tho, because by 3 or 4 some food can be sold, that's just how good it is.

I ordered the oxtails and smother pork chops, collards, mac & cheese, cabbage and black eyed peas. Describing each item would only be a rating of good or great. The portions were large and the pricing was more than fair. I dined in and the service was superb. At least 5 times in a short period of time, different staff would come and check on me. I had Dr. Dunham the ambassador proactively come up to me to while i was in line to explain the ordering process, after their recent renovation & reopening. This is probably the best experience I've ever had at a soul food establishment, top to bottom. Please try Dulan's.“
