Dania's Restaurant — Restaurant in Newark

Sooooo, I went there with my sister. When we walked into the tiny place, they had like 4 to 5 people behind the counter, and there were several customers there. But only 2 workers were helping customers. We never said we were together, but they assumed it right from the start. As I started ordering, the other lady asked who's next. So my sister starts giving her order. The lady tells her, "Oh ya, together, so I'm not doing your order." Sis tells her, " we came in together, but we separate orders and paying separate too." Lady says, "Don't matter, ya together, and I'm taking the next customer." Needless to say, I got my order, but my sister didn't cause she left. The cashier had shitty manners and attitude, too. They need courtesy etiquette and learn that the next person should be the next order regardless of who they are with. Imagine picking up lunch with coworkers, but everyone behind you gets to order first cause "ya together "... if anyone decides to go there, then go alone, basically. The food was tasty, but customer service...

⭐☆☆☆☆ Unfortunately, not the experience I hoped for.

I was really looking forward to trying Dania’s after hearing some good things and noticing it was close to my job. Unfortunately, my visit was disappointing. I understand there may have been a language barrier, and I always try to be patient and open-minded in those situations. However, I couldn’t help but feel unwelcome during my time there.

I ordered a specific meal and was told it would take 20 minutes, which I was totally fine with. But when I tried to ask how much it would be, I was ignored. As I waited, I noticed several people who came in after me were served first, and no one made an effort to update me or acknowledge the delay. The overall energy and treatment felt dismissive, and while I don’t want to immediately assume it was due to race, I can’t ignore the feeling that it may have played a part. I decided to leave and...

The other day I got, Dania’s Restaurant, for lunch. I ordered their Goat Platter w/ Rice & Okra. It was absolutely AMAZING! The goat had excellent flavor and they also had a wonderful texture to them. The rice was pretty good as well too. Really fresh tasting. The best was the Okra!!! I asked the lady to give more veggies than rice and she happily obliged and gave a great portion size! The Okra was sooooo good! This place has not missed yet on any items I have ordered for every time I have went. But, I just had to comment on their Okra and the Goat. From great customer service, to phenomenal food. This place is awesome. I’d highly recommend, Dania’s Restaurant, to anyone in the Newark area looking for some amazing food at a...
