“We stopped here between Universal Studios & LAX after finding them via a Google restaurant search. The food was delicious. Large portions & big mugs of cold beer to tame the spices. We loved the friendly & casual vibe. My silly kid enjoyed being creative with the injera bread & what kid doesn't love the opportunity to eat with their hands... on purpose!“

“My boyfriend and I drove an hour and a half on Sunday just to try Nkwagala Cafe after seeing so many amazing reviews on Instagram, and WOW… it exceeded every expectation we had. From the moment we took our first bites, we knew this place was something special.
My boyfriend has been struggling to find vegetarian food that he genuinely enjoys because of his health issues, and this is honestly the first place we’ve found that serves vegetarian dishes packed with so much flavor while still feeling energizing and nourishing.
We ordered the Nigerian Soul Food Plate and absolutely fell in love with all the different flavors. The versatility of the quinoa rice was incredible, and the innovative twist on Jollof Rice was truly out of this world. Every bite tasted intentional and comforting.
We also tried the Egusi Soup, which was completely new to us, and we were so impressed with how well it paired with the quinoa rice. We even dipped our Akara into it and that combination was AMAZING.
Speaking of the Akara… after our first bite, my boyfriend and I literally looked at each other with the unspoken confirmation of, “We have to order more.” HAHA. It was THAT good. We placed another order and happily waited another 30 minutes because it was absolutely worth it. It was amazing how it was made with chickpeas and did not lack any flavor. It almost reminded us of hush puppies but so much more fluffier, flavorful, and HEALTHY!
One dish that really touched my boyfriend personally was the Katobo. The burro had the same consistency as potatoes, a comfort food he used to love but can no longer eat. Being able to experience something that brought back that same comfort and satisfaction meant so much to him. It genuinely brought back his excitement for food again.
I also know that some reviews mention concerns about the location, but people have to understand that they operate mainly as a pickup-only business. All you literally have to do is place your order, let them know you’re there, and they bring the food right outside to you. It’s honestly a very simple process and should absolutely not deter anyone from trying this food because it is 1000% worth it.
Compliments to the Chef because every single dish was made with so much care, creativity, and flavor. We loved our experience so much that we’re already planning to make this a weekly trip so we can stock up and meal prep for the week.
Thank you, Nkwagala Cafe, for creating food that not only tastes incredible but also makes people feel good physically and emotionally. We can’t wait to come back!
P.S. I would have pictures but we were so hungry, we literally ate everything right on the spot!“

“Best juice bar out there. I go out of my way to come to this gym specifically for this juice bar. Amazing supplements, the BEST protein shakes (the terminator is sooo good for bulking, highly recommend the strawberry delight with added l-carnitine for cutting). owner and all the staff are cool as hell. Always get the best pump + post workout finish here. Price is insane in the best way as well. Highly recommend, worth going out of your way for.“

“Following a Michelin Guide. The menu offers a solid selection of ceviche and seafood dishes. We tried two types of ceviche and the marlin tacos. The ceviche portions were surprisingly generous for appetizers, while the three tacos felt a bit small for $24.
Our waiter thoughtfully asked whether we could handle spicy food — their ceviche comes with a generous amount of chili and green sauce — and offered to have it prepared milder. We appreciated that touch of attentiveness.
The food itself was fresh and flavorful with no real complaints on quality. That said, it didn't quite reach the level of culinary creativity or refinement I'd expect from a destination worth a special return visit. Service was a little disorganized, and there was an error on the bill.
A solid spot, but not a standout. Four out of five stars.“

“I found out about Awakening when searching for local cafés months ago before finally stepping in person. I had time to spare before a meetup nearby. Awakening has a lot of tempting choices and customizable options at reasonable prices. The staff were courteous and above and beyond.
One barista showed me a more expansive space to work, relax, or hangout in the back of the storefront. Outdoor seating is also available in front at Awakening, and I'll definitely come back.“

“The food was delicious and the servers were all super nice and attentive. I have celiac and it was soo appreciated to eat at a place that understands and felt safe to eat it. They have a separate gluten free menu, cooked the food on a separate area, and have a dedicated fryer for the chips. Highly recommend!“

Thanks again.“

“Lots of novel concepts here with some very good ice cream. We got the jamz, which is basically an ice cream sandwich between two slices of cake instead of cookies. We chose butter pecan and the chocolate cake with some condensed milk. It was nice, but I would such with just enjoying the ice cream.“

“She is always a nice person . Food is decent but portions are a little small as far as meat is concerned . Being from the east coast we have plenty of island cuisine . And it feels good to get some in Inglewood. All she has to do is offer a bigger selection of food . Normally it's just one Jamaican dish to choose from and bean pies and the normal soups and American food . All are great. Just wish she had a bigger variety“

The soups are so giving from the edikankon vegetable soup always freshly cooked and delicious, the egusi, okro/ogbono soup, efo riro, I love the fact they have varieties of swallowing like pounded yam, eba, oat meal, malaria etc. Of course their jollof rice is superb comes a side stew, plantain and protein of choice. Its my number one place to go for my African meal.“

“Went to eat here with my Sister and Niece. I got the 20 dollar Michelada and Ceviche combo. It was delicious and filling. My sister had a chicken plate which I nibbled on and it was delicious as well. My niece had buffalo wings which were extra meaty and really hot the way we like them. Thanks to all who make this spot happen.“
