I loved the decor! The food is delightful! The fufu is soft and sticky and soaks up and gravy and tames a bit of the kick and the heat was perfect where it's not over powering. I loved the digital menu board and that it is a simple menu. It's an order at the counter type restaurant. The service was wonderful in my experience. Of course it's a bit hidden in a very mini strip mall off of 19th/Glendale. As they say "hole in the wall restaurants tend to have the best food".

Never coming back here again. It Took 45 min to get the food and the serving size didn't justify the price. Can't use the restroom and have to pay for water.

I had goat pepper soup with fufu. I enjoyed the food to the point where I contemplated lifting the bowl to my head and drinking the soup straight from the bowl. My only critique is that the meat should be cut into smaller pieces, with fewer bones, and be more tender. Also, please add jollof rice as a side dish in a smaller portion.

The lady working at the front counter was so rude. I couldn’t believe how disrespectful she spoke to me. She was staring at the television and spoke to me in such an impolite manner. I will never return.

They were out of lamb so I ordered the goat soup with fu fu(was told it's the next best) the meat was very tough and chewy the over all flavor of soup was ok also Eugusi with fish , overall the food tasted like it was rushed cooked or possibly leftovers... first time trying was glad to have the experience overall

They give you time estimates for when the food is ready but when you come, even LATE, they still tell you to wait 10 minutes. My first time I came at the time they told me it would be ready, I still had to wait an extra 15-20 minutes. At first I was standing by the tables because I just like to stand and the lady at the register was like “cAn yOu siT dOwn” like🤔 The second time I called ahead and said I would be there in 20 minutes, to which they said it was already prepared and ready for me to pick up. Why I get there 10 minutes late because I just had a feeling, they gonna look at me and tell me 10 more minutes😟 Like y’all are not that busy to be taking all this time there be no one in there and now I see why🙄 Do better
First time ever eating African food* So initially I went in for their chicken and beef soup that’s on yelp/google. They said “it ran out” it’s understandable so I asked for their next popular dish it was a fish shrimp soup with fufu. It was seasoned really really really good! I enjoyed the flavor a lot! However, I’m Latino and this was very reminiscent to camarón al diablo which is spicier than this but it’s spicy enough not to be enjoyable. (Not too much of a fan of spicy foods) fish had so much bones in it, I ended up just putting aside and not eating it. the shrimp still had the shell on it so there’s that. Not to say it wasn’t good but for the price I paid I felt like I didn’t get my moneys worth, also I know I wouldn’t get that ever again. They have friendly staff but the language barrier is hard to communicate. The only thing that bothered me most and I almost walked out is they had ROACHES in the dining area. You’re probably thinking like hell nah I’m walking out but there’s a lot of these big corporations that still have it and you still eat at lol I really wanted to give it a chance. I was gonna a photo but I just didn’t want to be extremely “karenly” and as soon as I walked in I got the hint of RAID the roach spray even the guy after me said it smelled like it. Just putting it all out there so you know. I wouldn’t wouldn’t go back mostly cause the price $30 a bowl and fufu that I didn’t even finish.

I don’t know what’s going on with this place but the food is very tasteless as another librarian of order three times from this place and the food is so tasteless and oily. I don’t understand how they cook all the soup and it doesn’t have crab or smoked fish and it like we’re Liberian it’s supposed to have crab shrimp in it. The cassava is super muddy and it’s not dry like you are so oily and like just really tasteless the meat just only had chicken in there and beef. There’s no turkey there is no smoked fish. There is no crab. It was just so tasteless and then didn’t even The red oil it had white oil. Why does the cassava have white oil in it white same thing with the other soups, they don’t have the right oil in it or no seasoning. All your taste is oil. The rice was muddy. It was like old and I know it was the brown rice and it was watery. The rice was muddy and water. it was just so tasteless. You can smell that it’s been left on the stove for like maybe a day or two just disgusting. I’m so disgusted. I’ll never order and I definitely made my TikTok calling it all like how customer service is really bad over there and the food is very tasteless. They need to work on that three times makes no sense

I used to love this place, ate there maybe 2 times a week. They sold to some new owners who raised the price significantly and give much less. I always got the cassava leaf with rice and paid $25 with tip. They gave you a ton of rice, and a big portion of meat and cassava leaf soup. And if you got the plantains they gave you a huge amount for 6-10 depending on the size. Now i get the rice same portion(when they first took over it was a small portion, im guessing people were complaining) and about half the amount of soup and meat, last 2 times i got 1 piece of beef which today was tiny, and some chicken(2 legs today), it said 22 or 23 on the menu, when paying it was 26, was 29 total. I can not recommend this place anymore. I use to bring friends here to try the food cause i liked it so much, and now i feel ripped off. I ordered a plantain appetizerast time i got 1 plantain for $10, before i bet i got 3 plantains for the same price and they were cubed and perfect. Thats the piece of beef i got this time, size of the spoon. I will be looking for a new african cuisine place to goto as i can not go back
