" I had the most incredible dinner experience at Uchenna! The owner went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. The food was delightful! Each dish on the platter was bursting with flavor and freshness. The atmosphere was intimate, making it perfect for a cozy dinner. The only thing I would say is that you should come hungry; the portions are quite generous. I will definitely be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Uchenna Ethiopian Restaurant is a real find! I appreciate restaurants that support authentic cooking methods, and Uchenna truly delivers. The menu features a range of classic Ethiopian dishes that are as colorful as they are flavorful. I particularly enjoyed the traditional biryani, which has hints of spices that hugged my palate just right. The service was attentive and offered insights into each dish. My only drawback was the dining area felt cramped when busy, but it adds to that cozy family-style feeling. Still, I highly recommend trying Uchenna, especially if you are curious about Ethiopian food! " (*Curated Review*)

We were introduced to the culture right from our seats! I ordered the meat platter, which was a blend of flavors and textures—so fulfilling! They also have insightful information about the history of Ethiopian culture available to browse while you wait. Although the service was a bit slow at times, it was well worth the wait. I left feeling satisfied and enriched with knowledge. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting a unique night out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Uchenna has quickly become my favorite restaurant in town! I just love their lamb tibs; cooked to perfection with a spice blend that is full of warmth yet not overpowering. The owner, Maya, is so welcoming and always takes the time to greet her guests with a smile and some fascinating stories about her culture. The atmosphere feels cozy, like a family dinner. I highly recommend making a reservation because this place fills up quickly, especially on weekends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had such an amazing meal at Uchenna! We ordered several dishes to share and every single one was fantastic. The flavors were bold and original. I particularly loved the spicy chickpea stew, which was rich and comforting. The owner was incredibly hospitable and made us feel very welcome throughout our meal. The restaurant was quite busy, which added a lively atmosphere, but we felt well taken care of. I would encourage anyone to try it out, as I am already planning my return visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Uchenna is absolutely incredible! This was our first time trying Ethiopian cuisine and it did not disappoint. The flavors are unique; each dish we ordered was distinct and delicious. The service was commendable as our waitress helped us navigate the menu and made great suggestions based on our tastes. The portion sizes were generous as well, and we left with leftovers, which is always a plus! The only downside was that it got a little warm inside, but overall, a fantastic experience! I can’t recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)
