It has taken me two and a half years to finally write this review, but I feel it is important to share my experience.
My wedding was scheduled for **Saturday, September 21st**, and I had a signed contract with Chef Anwar from Affextionate Cuisine for that exact date. Unfortunately, on my wedding day, I was informed that the chef had not arrived. The wedding package we purchased included food setup and cocktail hour service. As a result, my guests never got to enjoy the cocktail hour or the meal we had been so excited about.
In a panic — while still in my wedding dress — I called Chef Anwar. He told me that somehow the event had been scheduled for Sunday. I was completely shocked, as my contract clearly stated Saturday. The situation was absolutely devastating and cast a shadow over what should have been one of the happiest days of my life.
We invested a great deal of time, energy, and money into planning our wedding. We even cut costs on photography to prioritize good food, and sadly, we ended up with neither. In the end, my family had to go to Publix and purchase deli items so our guests could eat.
The following day, my husband and I spoke with Chef Anwar. He was apologetic and expressed that he did not understand how the mistake occurred. He mentioned a generous offer to make things right, which gave us some hope during an incredibly upsetting time. I asked for the details to be sent via email.
A week passed without any communication. When I finally reached him again, the earlier offer was denied. The conversation ended abruptly, leaving us feeling even more hurt and confused. Eventually, we did receive a refund, but it was issued over roughly two weeks and in small, inconsistent amounts.
While the refund was appreciated, it could never repair the disappointment and emotional impact of what happened on our wedding day.
I do not write this out of anger, but out of honesty. I hope no other couple experiences something similar during such an important life event.

Stopped here for lunch today and my pictures speak for themselves. Food is BUSSIN! This place will eventually outgrow the area it’s in. Definitely will be back. 👌🏾

Figured we would try this place, well got the plate with 2 sides and fried chicken. The chicken was cold, not even safe holding temp. Under a warmer but cold.. Price is way over priced ,1 burger,1 plate $50 with a soda... Greens were good , sweet potatoes were good but not $20 good. Burger was cooked fresh, took a long time to cook a burger, 20 mins for a burger seems long when waiting . Had high hopes burnt failed. Disappointed...

Place is gross, the hours of operation are wrong, you get there and door is locked, and no they’re not open until 2 am Friday and sat like they say for door dash. Food is not good.

The food truly is “from the heart to the soul”. The chicken breast was a pulley cut, fried crispy, golden and tasted just like it should. Turnip greens appeared from fresh greens, seasoned perfectly and cooked to just right tenderness so cornbread crumbled deliciously in the juices. Mac and cheese, homemade like all the other dishes, crusty on top, creamy through and through and sweet potatoes, sweetened with a light hand were just right. Food that feeds the soul as well as the body. Deeply satisfying. Different menu daily, chef’s choice. Can’t wait to go again and discover what treats I might find. Very casual. No pretense. Just great food.
