Yesterday my life was changed, because I walked into Amma's Kitchen. I was greeted by Amma herself, with a warm smile and friendly service. The atmosphere is chill, with comfortable chairs, nice tables, and positive affirmations spread around. The food? Take your pick. IT'S ALL DELICIOUS. The Red Stew was flavorful, aromatic, and cooked to perfection. Curry Goat. Jerk Chicken. AMAZING. FALLS OFF THE BONE. The Broiled Salmon with Mac n Cheese was drizzled with this zesty vibrant lemon butter…

The food? Delicious. The portion sizes? VERY generous! And the service? Wonderful 😊 I got the jollof rice, spinach stew, and jerk chicken for my husband and I. The jollof was superb, it was probably the star of the meal even though it's a side! The spinach stew was great too, and the jerk chicken was amazing and spicy 🔥 all of the meat was fall-off-the-bone tender. I can't wait to try more of the menu at Amma's.

Hidden gem in Hydes. Not only is Amma a lovely person, her food is delicious! Ginger chicken and Jollof rice was flavorful, delicious and the combination of spices is perfection! Just enough of the spice and heat to allow the flavors to meld in your mouth but not overwhelming ! If you haven’t been why not??

Loved it. Whoever was working on Thursday 1/15 (likely the owner) was so warm and welcoming. The food was excellent. I got the peanut butter soup (vegetarian) and jollof. My dining companions got the ginger chicken. Everything came in large portions and was full of flavor. Looking forward to the next visit1

We stopped in to this new delightful restaurant in the area and loved it! We ordered the goat curry, beef patties, and jollof rice with ginger chicken. All of it was delicious and super flavorful. We truly appreciated the owner’s heart for mission work in underserved communities around the world (you gotta check out the mission wall when you visit). We will be back often for sure!
