Best Authentic Restaurants in Kennett Square

We had a cozy Christmas lunch here after a morning visit to Longwood Gardens. What a special place! The service was outstanding and all our dishes were delicious. The gnocchi al fromaggio brie and arancini were perfect, the risotto porcini was a table favorite, and the salads were fresh and flavorful. This has become an instant favorite. I can't wait to come back to try the bruschetta and maybe not stuff myself so I can get dessert. Lots of vegetarian options, too!!

We were looking for a nice place where we could still hear each other talk and this definitely worked. The food was wonderful - the salads fresh and clams in white wine were delicious. The strip steak, short ribs, branzino and lobster Ravioli were hits. Everyone enjoyed their desserts too - tiramisu, flourless chocolate cake and cheesecake. The music was perfect in the background. The staff was very efficient and pleasant

My husband and I are at Opa for the first time on Christmas Eve! We had a wonderful meal and the service was equally as great. We can’t wait to go back. The cocktails were SO good too and I ordered a lemon drop and the bartender made it festive and it was on the house. So sweet and kind! Thank you again for the great food and service!

Christmas Even dinner was wonderful. Food and staff and atmosphere were perfect.

Review for Manje Caribbean Restaurant – West Chester, PA I recently had the pleasure of dining at Manje Caribbean Restaurant in West Chester, Pennsylvania, with my wife. She’s a huge fan of Caribbean cuisine, and this restaurant absolutely delivered an authentic and delicious experience. We made our reservations on OpenTable for a Friday evening in early December, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Even though I wasn’t particularly hungry that night, the flavors and quality of the food completely won me over. To start, my wife ordered the wings, which were coated in a rich, aromatic jerk gravy sauce. You could tell from the aroma alone that the seasoning was authentic and that real care went into marinating the wings. They were perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. For my entrée, I opted for the veggie stew, and I can’t overstate how exceptional it was. Veggie dishes can be tricky to perfect, but Manje nailed it. The texture, seasoning, and overall execution of the dish made it not just a healthy option but also an incredibly satisfying one. My wife went all in with the red beans and rice paired with fried chicken. Both were cooked to perfection—the chicken had the perfect crispness, and the red beans and rice were seasoned beautifully. Every bite was a testament to the care and expertise the chefs put into their dishes. One thing to note: Manje is BYOB, which not many people seem to know about. It’s a great perk that adds to the experience, and we’re hoping more people discover this hidden gem. Manje Caribbean is a place where you can taste the authenticity and passion in every dish. It’s easily one of the best Caribbean restaurants we’ve ever tried. We’ll definitely be back to explore more of the menu (and when I’m hungrier)! Highly recommend!
