“Best pork shoulder I've had in a long time from any restaurant. Everything is on point! Nice and clean restaurant as well. Great atmosphere to dine in. Will be back soon. Definitely recommend.The most delicious pork I have eaten in a long time that came from a restaurant. The black beans and rice and even the yellow ones were perfect. Good atmosphere to eat inside and everything is also very clean. I definitely recommend it and will return later.“
“I finally had a chance to try this spot. Sometimes as a African American you have trouble in places but not this place. It was clean and the service was friendly. I ordered 2 things the stewed chicken both were ample and good. The price for both platters was affordable. Good spot to check out. Ps get some pepper steak on the menu.“
“Mannys is a family owned and operated restaurant so the atmosphere is very friendly and everyone seems to know each other!! They make u feel welcomed and appreciated which is hard to find nowadays. My favorite dish is the stewed chicken w/veggie rice. The small take out box is only $7 but can easily feed 2. The large is (I believe) $9, and both come with a handful of yummy plantanos. The chicken literally melts in ur mouth and they use just the right amount of seasoning so its not too spicy for those of us who don't like spicy food!! Lunch/dinner at Mannys is always a pleasureable experience ? !!! Neighborhood isn't all that bad as other reviews mentioned, however, parking will b tricky!! Overall - ★★★★★“
“This food is delicious and true to Dominican food! It is incredibly hard to find authentic DR/PR food in Newark area. Customers service is cool, you are greeted properly. They're usually very busy near weekends. I had the pork mofongo, the chicharron with rice and beans. Everything is flavorful and seasoned well. The portions are well rounded and filling. Price point is great. I'll definitely be back to try Empanadas, chicken etc. It's nice to finally get some real Dominican food around here! I ate it so fast I didn't take a flick, maybe next time.“
“Gourmet Lunch is amazing! Please go in to the door on the left "Gourmet". Maria makes the best food, and it is fresh every day. The menu changes depending on what she has, so you can call ahead if you would like to know. She usually has meat, chicken, 3 types of rice, plantains, vegetables, beans, and sometimes shrimp. I'm sure the side selections may change during the seasons. The meat is so tender, and the chicken so flavorful. Maria and group are so sweet and genuine too. I am happy to support this business, and so is my heart and stomach.“
“I love coming here! It's super eccentric and there are several unique paintings of the city (made by local artists and are for sale)! The food comes quick, and even when it's super busy there is never a long wait for a table. I have had a few different breakfast and lunch items here, and they never disappoint.“
“The other day I got, Dania’s Restaurant, for lunch. I ordered their Goat Platter w/ Rice & Okra. It was absolutely AMAZING! The goat had excellent flavor and they also had a wonderful texture to them. The rice was pretty good as well too. Really fresh tasting. The best was the Okra!!! I asked the lady to give more veggies than rice and she happily obliged and gave a great portion size! The Okra was sooooo good! This place has not missed yet on any items I have ordered for every time I have went. But, I just had to comment on their Okra and the Goat. From great customer service, to phenomenal food. This place is awesome. I’d highly recommend, Dania’s Restaurant, to anyone in the Newark area looking for some amazing food at a reasonable price!“
“You have got to try their lobster and shrimp combo that is only available on Saturdays. It comes in a creamy sauce they make themselves. If you want to make it a whole meal, add the Salmon which also comes in a creamy sauce.... but get there about 10am, these items sell out fast!“
“A Saturday at 6:20 am, in my way to Teixeira bakery for brakefast, I saw this restaurant and stop for a mangü. It wasn't ready yet, but the yuca (casaba) with spare ribs didn't disappoint. Everything, from the food to the music to the oatmeal was on point. Prices? A precio de llevecelo (affordable). It was a clean and nice surprise.“
“I went there for breakfast because I arrived an hour early for my interview at a nearby office. The waitress was very nice & accommodating. They let me wait inside. Although they were serving dinner foods - I only had a roll & some tea but the food looked delicious. The place was very clean & they have a pool table & large screen TV's. The next time I'm there I'm going to try the food because it looked very good.“
“What a treat! This was our favorite typical "casado" meal while on our two week trip in Costa Rica! The herbed lemonade was fresh and delicious, and vegetarian casado plates creative and very fresh. The house homemade mango pepper sauce was delicious! The two women who ran the restaurant were so friendly and even let us take their photograph! Very clean, cute atmosphere. Highly recommend!“
