We all love ourselves a hospitable restaurant with amazing dishes!!! Me and my friend came 5' before the place opened on a stormy day, so we wait outside until they open, after a while, the opening sign didn't light up so we decided to call them, and learned that because of the bad weather they needed to delay the opening time. However, the owner was so nice that the moment he heard me and my friend are in front of the store, he said he will be on the way right away, please wait for him to come. After just 10', he showed up and kindly show us the way in, and he was really friendly, really welcoming and open to conversations. He seems to be the cook himself, he offers us a type of flat bread/cake (?) sorry I don't remember, as an apology and it tastes super familiar to one of my childhood snacks. He started cooking right after he guided us in, check in with us once in a while and specifically as for our taste preferences, what we think and how do we feel about the food. I love how energetic and passionate he is with his customers. Now, about the food, it was amazing. We ordered Fufu okra with chicken, anf salmon broccoli with rice, both of them were seasoned really well and just stimulate your taste buds right away. The fufu is soft but had a certain firmness to it, the chicken gotta be my favorite, it had a strong umamai flavor and it was huge as well. The salmon has a tangy/sour-ish flavor, which went really well with the rice that came within the dish. I wholeheartedly enjoyed the meal that day and would love to come back and try the turkey some day. Should check this place out, good food, great customer service, big portion, everything you coukd ask for in a restaurant!!
We enjoyed the delicious Hattian food, but were even more impressed by Nick's outstanding customer service. He explained everything on the menu with a smile and made us feel right at home. The restaurant vibe feels very local, inviting, and authentic. We'll definitely be back!
First time here and the food was Amazing! The owner Nick is very caring and loving and caters to you. They serve Carribean and African Foods. I’ve never had this style of food so I decided to try :QuaterChicken with Rice and Plantains His food will bring life to you. He balances everything out so you don’t have super overpowering tastes. Overall I’d rate this place a 10/10 and I believe whoever sees this should come and try it out! So good I wrote a review‼️ Finger Licking Good‼️‼️‼️
Excellent food. I lived in Africa for 20 years and have eaten just about everything in just about every setting imaginable and Tropicala pays good homage to its roots. I will definitely be a returning customer. My daughter says "chef's kiss, the first and last bite were heaven." Thanks for the excellent food!
If I could give more than 5 stars I would. When I say we could have licked the plates we really could have. The food was amazing the chicken was extremely juicy and all the food was seasoned to perfection. Can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu.
By far the most amazing food I've had on this side of town. Absolute 5 star quality meal at a great price. The cook was fantastic. Superp quality meal for a quick bite type restaurant. I will be eating here for lunch from now on! I mean they even have all kinds of cool glass soda bottles! Great interior design as well!
Amazing!!! Everything tasted amazing and there was so much food for a great price!!! Also great customer service, this meal literally made my entire day better!!!
Wow! Definitely worth it!! The food is so fresh and tastes like home cooking. Great service in a laid back atmosphere. We tried multiple things and nothing disappointed, highly recommend. It had me doing the happy dance the whole time we ate!
I am a sophomore and have been going to power strength at East paris for about a little less than a year and it has truly been such a great program for me. I enjoy coming in twice a week and working out to help me get stronger, faster; and more physi

Best gym and best equipment in town. Really enjoyed working out there. Lots of great machines that can hardly found in other gyms. Owner Jason was extremely friendly and helpful. Would definitely sign up if I move here.
Great beer options as always. I had a beer called Weird Bubbles and really enjoyed it. The new menu with more vegan options was fantastic. I loved the tofu bowl, my leftovers the next day were even more flavorful! And the crispy broccoli appetizer wa
This afternoon, I made a trip to this cozy Vietnamese Boba shop located on Division close to 44th St. and treated myself to a Vietnamese iced coffee with Mango Boba. The drink was so yummy!!! ðð
Coffee shop, food options too. Locally owned. I did try any food items this time. I did try the coffee which was delicious. Great customer service. Drive up went quickly. Well worth going again and hopefully try to get a good product as well.
Falcon Stadium is a great place to go to watch the East Kentwood Falcons play in the Autumn. It is also a great place to go to see the marching band at halftime and at an invitational, especially if you know somebody in the band. It is also a great p
