African Restaurants near Los Angeles, CA

“Incredible food and service. Our waiters name was Christian; he was personable, kind, and hospitable. The food was mouthwatering and had such unique flavors. HUGE portions and definitely comfort food as they state. Will definitely be returning to check out the new menu each month.“

“This is truly a one-of-a-kind experience. Never been to anything like it. The food was delicious and was paired with stories that gave insight into what we were eating and what region it came from in West Africa. Highly recommend it if you are looking for great food and entertainment.“

“Celebrated my sister birthday and it was a hit. Our waiter, Paul was helpful and suggested that Moroccan feast and it was plenty of food for everyone in our group, 7 in total. Every dish that came out was delicious, especially the lamb meat.

A little tip, the Empanada looking dish had overeasy egg inside so if you are not a yoke person, suggest to take it out once it cools down.

Also, tip is included with bill so don't make a fuss about it.

Definitely recommend anyone wanting to try a different dish while experiencing the culture without leaving the country. The belly dancing was entertaining.“

“Okay I had to run home and write this review because the Jollof is CRAZY good. The spices, immaculate. Beef patties *chefs kiss* I’m so glad there’s a Jollof spot in LA, we are blessed! The staff is super nice and friendly. DoorDash me please !!“

“Everytime I order from this restaurant, Im amazed. The dishes are so flavorful and you know that you're eating something good for you. It leaves you feeling energized and ready for whatever. I really wish they were open more, I'd order everyday literally!“

“Not sure where to start. We were visiting Los Angeles for the week and decided to try 2 Hommies, this was the BEST MEAL OF OUR ENTIRE STAY. It was so Nice we ate there Twice and had enough to take on our flight and make everyone jealous. Service was EXCELLENT. We will be back on our next trip. As an aside, I purchased one of their tee shirts to help advertise THE BEST FOOD IN LOS ANGELES“

“The food was Absolutely delicious, and Authentic!“

“Wow! This is a true gem that brings the vibrant flavors of Ghana right to your plate. From the moment you step inside, you're enveloped in the warm aromas of West African flavors and the welcoming atmosphere.

What really sets them apart is their attention to detail and commitment to authentic ingredients. You can taste the love and tradition in every bite. The staff are wonderfully friendly too!!

Whether you're a seasoned fan of Ghanaian cuisine or looking to expand your culinary horizons, this is a must-visit. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you! Love it!! ?“

“Very good tasting food, very friendly and awesome portion size plates.“

“The food is great and service is great too. the restaurant has a homey vibe and you can definitely go there and chill. Its always a good time when we go there for dinner and I will always go back. They have a traditional nigerian menu that tastes like your mom made it. Stop here when you want a good homecooked nigerian meal.“

“I have been wanting to try this place out for quite a while now. I stay downtown Los Angeles, so it’s a bit of a distance to drive. Since the closing of the Vuuka lounge downtown, there isn’t much of a choice when it comes to African cuisine. Yesterday, which was Sunday I finally had a chance to try it while on break at work. I placed my order online and picked it up from the restaurant myself. I ordered the jollof combo plate and peppered goat soup. Both were very delicious and well seasoned. I did not sit and eat inside the restaurant, so I can’t really tell you guys how the atmosphere is but what I can say is that it is definitely a place everyone should try“

“EDIT: MUCH BETTER! So much better! The drastic improvements to the service coupled with the delicious food made me change my review from 1-star to 5. My husband is obsessed and he’s not even nigerian ?.

Mama Veronica, you have done well.

*original review below from 2 years ago*

Worst service in the history of worst services. I placed an order 2HOURS in advance, drove all the way from Orange County to pick it up in Inglewood (if you from LA you know how bad that drive can be) only to be told one of my main orders isn’t available and I would have to wait ANOTHER 40mins for the rest.

Lady, hire more cooks, prep beforehand or something because this is ridiculous. I wouldn’t mind waiting usually because the food is good but wait AND be expensive? Not coming back here again. Food is good but the hassle is not worth it. At all.“

“Great service and the food was good.“
