    The bartender Dejah was very friendly and outgoing. She made sure we had everything we needed. The food came out hot and was delicious.

    First time at Amina. Will not be my last. I would say it is among the best meals I have ever had. Great drink list. The scallop appetizer was amazing. All of my party loved their food and even though we were full, we made room for the banana pudding. Glad we did! Being at Amina just made me happy.

    My experience was a 10/10! Went on a calm Tuesday evening . Booked a last minute reservation because my group wanted to have an intimate dinner at black owned restaurant. We were stunned by the amazing food options and the taste was top tier. We ordered a bit of everything and couldn’t choose a favorite. The chef is a genius and nothing short of humble as he asked how our experience was. A must go!

    The banana pudding pancakes were really good, paired with a passion fruit mimosa. Could barely finish it all. The portion size is perfect and kept me full throughout the day. Sunday brunch was PACKED but to be expected. 10/10 recommend and will be back!
