I love this place! The food here is exceptionally tasty. I think they have the most decadent vegan lasagna and mac&cheez items I've ever had. The drummies and ribs are both excellent. I haven't even tried their variety of hot sandwiches yet, but they look amazing. Desserts are all excellent. Most of Dodah's menu is not health food, per se, although there are some whole food options, too. The servings are huge -- a 1-entree + 2-sides platter is enough for two meals for most people. The service behind the counter is always great. It would be helpful and boost curb appeal to have a large menu board and a few outdoor tables. Virtually all of the negative reviews I see are due to the reliability of their hours and of their delivery service. I have run into that too, as I have visited about a dozen times in their first few months. I don't know why customers feel it's appropriate to ding a new restaurant's ratings while it's still getting up to speed, especially when managed from out of state trying to expand here to Delaware. But simply call or message first to make sure it's open or that delivery service is active. I love that Dodah's has come to Newark, and look forward to more people finding out how great it is!

Tried this place after a hike in Newark, DE. It’s a small place that is really cute inside. There didn’t seem to be many gluten free options on the menu and I couldn’t confirm due to a language barrier with the worker. I ordered the general Tso’s cauliflower, mushroom salad, quinoa, sweet love tea and sweet potato cheesecake. You get a lot of food, enough for a second meal. The texture of the cauliflower was a bit too soft for me on day 1. I put it in the oven the next day and it was better. I had never had mushroom salad before and this had great flavor. The quinoa was also the best I have ever tasted. Not sure what they make it with, but it is flavorful. The cheesecake was ok. I would probably try a different flavor next time. Admittedly I’m not usually a sweet tea drinker, so it was too sweet for me. I should have probably gotten the other version, which I will try next time. If and when I’m in DE or MD I would give this place another shot. Read less

Finally caught Dodah's open so went in to check it out. The lone employee, Santer, was very nice although the language barrier made it challenging to have a fluid conversation. I love that there's a vegan option here, since I visit this center regularly. Had the fried oyster mushrooms with garlic kale. It was good. This is my recommendation to the owner. Label each dish, explaining the makeup of each dish so the staff doesn't have to take the extra time to explain (if they even know). This is my first time in any Dodah establishment, and I hope that with increased marketing they will do very well. I have a few ideas if you want to contact me. Welcome to Newark! Read less

Take a look at these vegan ribs and sweet potato fries. I simply do not miss the non-vegan lifestyle. My only suggestion is that they have soap at this place

Love the food and service here. Went to the one by the University of Delaware. I've been twice already in the past week. The food is well seasoned, tasty, and great service. The servers are really friendly. The only thing is the servers didn't speak english well and couldn't answer my questions about the food. And both times I came it took a couple minutes before someone came from the back to help me. I would suggest putting a ring tone on the door so as customers enter the staff can hear it if they're in the back. But other than that, love this place. and will continue going. Read less
