African Restaurants near Alameda, CA

“I just ordered from here yesterday and today I had to order again me and my husband LOVED IT. When I say the best food I had in a long time. Thank you for your services and good amazing food. It really touched our soul. My new favorite place to eat.“

“What a gem of a place. I know Africa has a lot to offer in terms of cuisine so I decided to explore Tanzanian food. The flavors are like symphony in my mouth. I had the chicken curry bowl and chicken sambusa and accompanied it with the hibiscus juice. I was in heaven. The lady behind the counter who was preparing my food was also charming and generous enough to have me try their coconut rice cake which is called Vitumbua. It was delicious. I live about 45 minutes away but will definitely return!“

“The food is simply amazing, I ordered the Jumbo Oxtail Stew x3 Peanut Soup, Jollof Rice, Greens and FuFu for my family and Myself this is our second time and we still Love the flavor, the customer service.
We attempted another place that was closer to home and it was no comparison. Kendejah is hands down our go to spot for mouth watering, flavor filled, soul fulfilling West African Cuisine.“

“I got this delivered via Caviar so can’t speak to atmosphere (I think it’s a ghost kitchen maybe?) but the order was fast as heck and legit one of the best meals I’ve eaten in recent memory.A ton of food, generous portions, and just mind blowingly tasty. I got the pork bowl and every element was perfect. The meat was tender and so flavorful. Every combination of elements in the bowl creates a perfect bite.I can be kind of picky about food and this was a revelation, especially on a rainy winter night.I also ordered the bacon Brussels sprouts but I’m so full from the bowl I’ll save those for tomorrow.The world’s loudest YUM!!!!!“

“Great Food, Great Service“

“I went there on Saturday 19th Oct. The Jollof Rice and Plantains were good, but The meat that was Given for my Money was Horrible. The Goat And Beef was Hard and The Goat had that Goat Scent. Plus your Portion of Meat was not Desirable. I had to go home and make Stew Chicken to Eat with the Rice and Plantains.“

“As a new comer to east bay, I have been exploring Ethiopian restaurants and Addis is by far the best. Good vibe, good food (the best shiro), awesome service. My only suggestion is that they need to come up ways to pack the stews, soecially shiro, in small container by itself when it is ordered for to go.“

“This is the best Eritrean or habesha food In the Bay Area hands down I come here all the time even the waiters are so lovely thanks to Luwam for her excellent customer service I highly recommend everyone to visit thank you guys for making me feel like home“

“Did a very nice job catering the Nigerian food portion of my daughter’s wedding farewell brunch at her home for 100 people. Communicated well before the event, flexible enough to provide a custom fruit plate and two servers to get that off my plate. Showed up on time on a Sunday morning with a very reasonable delivery fee. The plantains were great and went in a heart beat. While the Jollof rice and beef was a bit spicy for the non-Nigerian guests, the Nigerian guests thought the food was great and much better than the Nigerian food catered at Naija on Friday.
One tip, assuming other food is being served, get half tray of rice and 1 1/2-2 trays of plantains for 85-100 mixed crowd guests. One very experienced food server we picked up from Quick, good site for party help, stated he always see excess rice.
Great experience!“

“We were looking for the Africa Restaurants yesterday. They both didn't make it through the pandemic. Upon one places, it's was church and selling vegan meatloaf plates. Small Bean pies for $5. Yall I am telling you. This is and was delicious and I can't tell I am not eating meat OMG! ? Africa church had no name on it. I surely will be returning and find out more information. My friend went back and got our plates. Happy Holidays to everyone and to stay safe & healthy.

Vegetarian options: This is a All Vegan Meatloaf plate.“
