Reviews Leilani Restaurant & Ashanti Lounge Bar

Food was delicious. Generous portion sizes. The atmosphere in the restaurant was very relaxing and staff was very friendly and attentive. I had a lovely evening and would definitely return again and recommend to others

The staff were excellent, very helpful, friendly and informative. It's a very relaxed vibe there. The place was spotless and the food was outstanding, it was clear to us that they are very passionate about the food that's served there. The cocktails were lovely. I had Jerk Chicken and my wife had oxtail. Both were really well cooked. The oxtail melted in the mouth and the rice was some of the best we'd ever had. Definitely going back again.

Amazing food!! Proper home cooking, nice and spice just like I like it and such a good variety to choose from. Friendly atmosphere as well. 👌🏾🙌🏿

Went there on Groupon, down side was the deal excludes Fridays and Saturday, which was not mentioned in the T&C's. The food was very tasty, the host was very polite and attentive. I would recommend and return.

I came here with my partner after getting a groupon deal online and I must say, it was worth every penny. Upon arrival we were greeted by a lovely lady called Susie who was warm, welcoming and funny and allowed us to choose wherever we wanted to sit. She instantly gave us bottled water with 2 glasses and explained the set menu to us thoroughly. 2 free cocktails were apart of the groupon deal so myself and my partner chose the first cocktail on the top of the list and Susie made it to perfection, so much so, we ordered another one and tipped her. For starters I had salt fish fritters and my partner had crispy beef, the both tasted absolutely amazing but I think there could’ve been more fritters as there was only 2. For mains I had jerk chicken with rice and peas, plantain and coleslaw and my partner had curry goat with rice and peas. My jerk chicken portion size was very big, I couldn’t finish it all and had to bring some home which is even better. My partner had the curry goat but didn’t enjoy it as much because he said it had too many bones and potatoes and hardly any meat. But overall tasted nice, meat fallen off the bone and spiced to perfection. Plantain was to die for and amazing portion size. Coleslaw was delicious. Pros - service was good, friendly staff, good portions, good drinks, food cooked from fresh Cons - waiting time was a bit long for food, we arrived at 7.30pm and didn’t receive all our food until 9pm, but I’m simply putting that down to the food being cooked from fresh as nothing tasted reheated, it was definitely worth the wait. I feel there could be some indoor decor that needs updating as the restaurant itself looks very outdated but that’s just me being fussy lol Overall I would definitely return again.

The food was a big of a wait but it was worth it. The food was delicious 🤤 I had a wonderful time. I would recommend this to all my friends. The food is hearty, healthy and most importantly mek your belly full. I ordered boiled yam and tilapia for main and it was well cook and season. The fish just melts in your mouth.
