West African Cuisine offers authentic, homemade-style dishes in a simple setting. The cassava leaf with rice is a highlight, with a good balance of spice and flavor. The food is flavorful and satisfying, and the chefs carefully control the spice levels, allowing customers to add more if they like. The menu is straightforward, and the restaurant is a family-owned place that provides a warm atmosphere.
The decor is well-liked, and the food is described as delightful, with the fufu being soft and sticky, perfect with the flavorful gravies. Customers enjoy the generous portions, though some mention that the goat pepper soup with fufu can be expensive, costing around 15 to 25 dollars, and the small portions of jollof rice are requested as a side. There have been comments about the staff being not very polite and the place being small and hidden in a strip mall, but the excellent food makes up for the minor issues.
Some feedback points out that the meat in dishes could be cut into smaller pieces, with fewer bones, and be more tender. The restaurant is also known for its flavorful dishes that keep customers coming back, with many enjoying the atmosphere and friendly service, especially from staff like Aaron.
While some have noticed the presence of cockroaches, they still find the food so good that it outweighs these concerns. Overall, West African Cuisine is praised for its delicious, flavorful dishes, and its willingness to adapt to customer tastes, making it a popular spot for lovers of West African food.
