Again, your food is so DELICIOUS!
We saw the owner on KTVU Morning News recently being interviewed regarding Hatward Restaurant Week. Her presentation was fabulous. Its important that food be created by those who represent the food; culturally speaking. Although the spices, meat and vegetables are not directly from home, what is imported makes the dishes delicious.
My husband and I had Jollif, Egusi and Efo-Riro w/Goat.
NO COMPLAINTS FROM US. We loved the food, the hospitality and the cleanliness of the location.
We will be back.

Take out portions are ridiculous. Ordered the egusi and there was hardly anything in the container. So disappointed because I would have returned to patronize again the next day. Perhaps portions are better when dining, but not gonna return to find out.
customer service needs to be worked on.
They are not the best Africa restaurant. I have received the wrong order with a couple bugs on it
With no honor refund or new plate.

I never leave google reviews or review anything but LET ME SAY this food was AMAZING , I was intrigued by Nigerian food and wanted to start with fufu and egusi and it did not disappoint !!! I called around 6 placed and order and they were so accommodating!! They held my food until 10 minutes before closing and were so kind about it , prices are very reasonable egusi includes fufu and very well portioned , more than enough to make you full !! The piece of beef in my egusi was so tender loved it , yea this is the place .

Eaten at Golden Safari a few times and it's always very very good. I always get a Egusi with chicken, fufu, okra soup with chicken as well and jollof rice but this time I also got plantain and every single thing was spot on. I'm so happy that it's halal food and I can enjoy the deliciousness of other cultures.

Loved the look (grass wall and everything) and the service too! But this is not egusi soup. Waaaaay too watery.

We were waiting for my kiddo and decided to pop in for some sweets. Unfortunately they were out but we decided to get something small since we were only waiting a little by it. The rice was AMAZING. Next time will definitely get a full plate. Service was great!

I went to go try the egusi soup. It was a good but the fufu was a little sticky/wet. The egusi soup was very good. There were people sitting in there that were really loud and their voices were echoing, so it made it extra loud in there.
Not really service with a smile, but the food is good .

Golden Safari Nigerian Restaurant offers flavorful, authentic dishes that delight the palate, showcasing the vibrant essence of Nigerian cuisine. However, the portion sizes feel modest relative to the price, resulting in moderate value for money. Service, while adequate, lacks warmth and engagement, with staff appearing somewhat distracted. As an observer, I suggest the restaurant enhance the first-time diner experience by proactively introducing signature dishes, such as jollof rice or egusi stew, to highlight their culinary strengths. Improving portion generosity and training staff to provide more attentive, welcoming service could elevate the overall experience, ensuring customers leave satisfied and eager to return.

The food was super delicious and the staff so nice. We tried a variety of dishes and all were reasonably priced. I wish we had taken pictures. However, we inhaled everything before thinking about pictures. Next time.

The tomato chicken stew was rich and delicious (and very spicy, just like i asked!). Will definitely come back. My only complaint is that the hibiscus and ginger drinks were a bit too sugary.

First time trying Nigerian cuisine. Amazing. Waiter was helpful in guiding me to order Ebo Riro soup when they heard me order Fufu with nothing to dip it in. The GOAT was amazing. The Jollof rice was so flavorful. The chicken was also good but the GOAT was the star. Everything was so flavorful not overly salty just seasoned to perfection. I would definitely return here and am so glad I gave it a try.
