“Wow! I really love the chicken. I ordered the Combo #1 which included 2 pieces of chicken and a waffle! The only thing I want to complain about is the waffle - it was thick and fluffy which I appreciated... but it was soggy. I will say, I didn't get to go here in person (my boyfriend picked up for me) so maybe that contributes to the soggy waffle? Would like to try again!“

“Chef Budda Blasian Soul Food came to our office for lunch. They were extremely responsive & were happy to work with my organization's extra security policies. On the day of the event, staff was super friendly & the food was DELICIOUS. While they offered lunch portions, most of our employees opted to get the full dinner meal& some even came back out to get another meal for dinner. Personally, I had the combo wings, tenders, mac & cheese, & rice & gravy and everything was AMAZING! The food was cooked fresh & the chicken was crispy on the outside but SO juicy on the inside. When I was eating it at my desk, the smell alone had my coworkers peeking into my cubicle to see what I was eating. If you haven't tried them yet, I highly suggest you do! We will absolutely be asking them to come back in the future.“

“We found Flavors of East Africa at the Ocean Beach Farmers Market. Week one, we ordered 2 medium chickens (spicy and sweet). We immediately made a plan to go back the following week. Week two we ordered 3 large-sized meals and an extra side of lentils so we'd have leftovers. Our toddler, who is a picky eater, loved the meal the first week, she had three plates. She usually doesn't like repeats so we weren't holding our breath. The second week she's eaten enthusiastically for two dinners and two lunches. We adults also find the food exceptional and are so excited to indulge ourselves in the future even more because our kid also loves it. Highly recommend this spot! Our kid LOVES the lentils, saffron rice, and sweet chicken and ate some of my mom's curry chicken each week.“

“So happy I was able to experience this lovely cafe. The gentleman behind the bar was there was so pleasant. He answered all of my questions and engaged with each customer in a such caring manner. For dinks they had coffee, regular kombucha, and hemp infused kombucha. (There were probably more options but that's what I saw)Both flavors of the hemp infused kombucha were delicious. That was my first time having hemp kombucha and it totally relaxed my mind and body. I ordered 2 Jamaican patties cabbage & tofu. I had to wait a while because they were being made fresh. When they came out both were so delicious they were seasoned, soft, flaky, and had the right amount of spice. My picky 5 year old loved the tofu patty. This is the best cafe I've ever been to. It's afrocentric, healthy, and everything is of the highest quality!“
