Get the large oxtail w/ candied yams and mac n cheese. You wont regret it. Their jerk chicken is also spicy as hell but delicious
This place is AMAZING! The other day I ordered, Natural Start, for a late lunch/ early dinner. I was absolutely satisfied! I had got their Turkey Wing Platter w/ double Collard Greens and a side of Baked Mac n Cheese. EVERYTHING was so dang good! Excellent portion sizes and very reasonably priced. Also has the nerve to be delicious too!!!! I was expecting a regular (large) turkey wing, with a sample sized amount of the sides. The Turkey was extremely tender, they give you a lot of it, the collard greens were extremely satisfying and delicious, but the biggest surprise was how good the Baked Mac n Cheese was! Typically when you order from soul food spots the baked Mac just isn’t the best, especially given the price they typically charge. This place has great baked Mac! All in all, I was absolutely surprised by how delicious the food was, it was very comforting and home-y. The gentlemen who took my order was extremely attentive and caring. Made sure my order was fulfilled correctly. I’d HIGHLY recommend, Natural Start, to ANYONE looking for some great food, that is reasonably priced and you happen to be in the East Orange area
I like their wings,cakes,cabbage, beef sausage egg & cheese, and smoothies. I don't like the potato salad, macaroni salad was too sweet for me. Mac&cheese didn't have the flavor I was expecting although the texture was there.
Hi all I must say I’ve been twice so far and each time the food was good . I didn’t take pics the first go round but here is the second. I had the Turkey wings w/ Mac &cheese and collards /w side of yams yea I had a feast . It taste just like home cooking not processed cans. Enjoy yourself when you try all the good fixings oh yea portions are on point
You are playing yourself by not coming here. I'm insulting you for not being here. This is my 1st visit and I'm mad at me! The service was absolutely amazing. Food was fresh and healthier for you!
Ordered a big amount to eat with family coming into town for the day. Menu had everything we needed. I paid a deposit and asked to have food ready for a specific time. I came back and it was hot and ready! Everyone killed it. Delicious. Full of flavor. Well packaged. Reasonable price. Beautiful plate Will return again.
The first time I went the fried chicken was excellent!! The second time was great but third and fourth time tasted like they refried old chicken Never went back!!
A MUST MUST TRY. THE MACARONI & CHEESE IS SPECTACULAR CHEESY, NOT OVER SEASONED. THE WHITING FISH IS FRIED TO PERFECTION
