Longtime fan of Nyota's Ting, even though I only get to have it at Falcon Ridge Folk Festival! The curries are delicious and hearty, well-spiced but not overwhelming. Love being able to try exotic-to-me dishes like goat while remaining veg. Give them a try if you're local!

I had 5 different items at the Boston Vegfest. The food was okay. Unfortunately, the way it was packed for takeout out left a lot to be desired. All the juices from the items ran together making a bit of a mess and confused the flavor of each item. Also, I was a little concerned by the way they were adding room temp food to the food heating over their burners, that doesn't seem to be a safe food handling practice. The customer service was terrible. The 2 young men behind the counter looked less than pleased to be there, and their attitudes reflected it. I really wanted to love it, But I just didn't. I wouldn't eat there again.

Their food is so good, I experience it at the vegan festival today but the customer service is terrible. Except the lady she was very sweet.

I had the BBQ chicken and curried goat and it was absolutely delicious!!!! For someone who grew on this food, finding a vegetarian option warmed my heart. It was a piece heaven being able to eat the flavors of my favorite foods as kid. I wish I could go here all the time.

I look forward to eating at Nyota's Ting at Falcon RIdge Folk Festival every year! This year I managed to eat there 3 times, and all 3 times the food was amazing. The vegan curry goat is my favorite, but I have loved everything I tried. My husband eats meat, and he even he loves the food here, and will actually choose it over meat dishes! I only wish there was a way that I could eat their food more than once a year!

Ok, so I had not heard of Nyota's Ting until yesterday, when I saw their stand at the DC Green Festival. The other stands were all local companies, which I figured I could get anytime, right? Let's try something different and exotic! So, before I order my food, I ask the lady if they accept credit cards (since I had a whopping $1 with me). She said yes, I proceeded to order. She then hands me my food, I give her my credit card, and am then told that the machine can't send the signal, so my card won't work. Great! She then held my food hostage while another friend came to my rescue with some cash. Get your act together, Nyota, this is the 21st century and you're using some old-school credit card machine? Then I finally get to taste my food. If you like overly-processed, extremely high sodium food, then this might be your thing. If you also like food that's drowning in long, slimy onion strands (aka worms), then this is DEFINITELY your thing. Quantity-wise, it was well worth my $9 but quality-wise, I feel like I need to detox until the winter solstice. My advice? If you want delicious vegan food that will also make you feel good, Nyota's Ting is not it.

I've attended the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival several times, which is where I have encountered (and subsequently, craved) the amazing vegetarian Caribbean food at Nyota's Ting. The operation is clean and well-run, and their stand at the festival turns out amazing, wholesome, richly spiced and always delicious food for thousands of festivalgoers. Needless to say, if they can handle the hustle and bustle of a huge music festival, they definitely have the expertise to cater your event. My favorite thing is the vegetarian curry goat. It is the stuff of dreams. I'm not sure what vegetarian protein they use--probably seitan?--but it is toothsome and hearty. The spices are intoxicating. You can get the curry goat and any of their other entree items either as a platter or a salad in a deep-fried tortilla bowl (which is delicious and perfect if you are spending a long day at a festival). If you see their stand at an event, definitely check it out, and if you are looking to feed a bunch of vegetarians at a party or other event, give them a call. I myself am truly looking forward to the next time I get to eat their wonderful food.
