DorBat’s Diner

My order was quite enjoyable. I had some large fish that was topped with rice that had been seasoned and sauteed onions and peppers. Since I had never really had African food before, I ordered something that didn't really fit with my order, so I really appreciate that they phoned me. The ginger beverage was flavorful, zesty, and refreshing.

Wonderful family owned African soul food Diner. If you are ever in Newark New Jersey you owe it to yourself to go by their spot. Wonderful people and great food!

I really enjoyed my order. I got a big fish which was covered in cooked onions and peppers and spiced rice which both were delicious. I really appreciate that they called me because I ordered something that wouldn’t make sense with my order (I haven’t really eaten African food before). The Ginger drink was delicious and fresh and spicy.

Fried shrimp: Adequate. Standard size. Flavor was average. You will need a glaze or dipping sauce to enhance what little flavor it has. Fried sweet and sticky wings: The sauce was a good flavor. I can't imagine the wings being good plain because the sauce is the total flavor profile of the chicken wing. The wings had a nice crunch but something was lacking. I'm not sure if it was how it was prepared, the freshness, or maybe the seasoning or lack thereof. Strawberry cake: Purchased two cakes (stupidly). Both were bad but even more so the strawberry cake. The cake was stiff, dry, crumbly, and stale. I had the food delivered so when I saw the container I can tell it was refrigerated. I thought perhaps if I just sit it out for awhile some of the moisture would come back and regain softness

Food here is absolutely delicious, red snapper and the loaded rice are my favorite 🥰 Do yourself a favor and go get something to eat from here
