Tasty Ethnic Foods - East Hartford

Drove an hour just to visit this place the drive was worth it! I had the spinach stew with tomato stew meat let me tell you chef’s kiss it was so bomb I took one to go on that second plate I tried the ockra stew it was busssssin 10/10 for me ?

Tasty ethic foods gives you the full experience of Ghanaian cuisine. Walked in and they gave me a tray full of rice, pasta, fried fish, chicken, and another meat (maybe goat) that had been marinating in a brown sauce. It all came out to $12 dollars and lasted for two days. The jollof had more of a smoky/peppery flavor than Nigerian jollof I've had in the past. The standout to me was the fried chicken, l loved how the African spices enhanced the flavor. I saw a previous review where someone called this place ghetto and unsafe which isn't fair. Can it be intimidating to walk into because of its appearance and customer service? Maybe, but it's exactly like going to your favorite Jamaican, Spanish, or halal places in the area. The language barriers and cultural differences shouldn't stop you from enjoying new restaurants.

This placed used to be Tasty Ethnic foods a while ago. Now the management changed and the name is confusing. As per Google it is Sidibe African Restaurant (Nhyira). So if you see Tasty Ethnic Foods, Nhyira or Sidibe, all are referring to the same restaurant. For entree I went for jollof rice and waakye. Both of these are very flavorful and slightly spicy rices. By default it comes with chicken fry, mutton curry, boiled egg and fried fish. Portion is huge, and you get to taste everything. And everything is flavorful also. I had a couple of drinks as well. Ginger lamurgreen drink was less like a cola and more like a ginger herbal medicine. It had a strong ginger flavor, which is so strong that it burns in the throat a bit, like herbal medicines do. Housa fura millet drink was also less like a cola. It was more like a congee in a bottle which is slightly sweet. I feel it is more like a meal replacement drink.

I ordered jollof, peanut butter soup and plaintains from here. Very good value, and the food was delicious!!! My auntie is Ghanaian and I was missing her peanut soup like crazy. This made me feel better. I’ll be making another visit for sure

WASTE OF MY TIME AND MONEY!!! Taste like the food have been sitting there for hours and every is just smooshed together and it had Freakin goat hair everywhere ‍
