African Restaurants near National City, CA

“It’s my first time ever trying Nigerian food and let me tell you it didn’t disappoint. The food taste amazing and if you like spicy you’ll loveeee the food. The cashier was very sweet as well.Food: I got the fish soup (they don’t skimp on the fish and it’s beyond delicious), I also got Efo Riro stew with the Fufu and it was super good too. I recommend atleast trying this restaurant if your curious, it’s real good.“

“We LOVE Ethiopian food. Healthy, delicious and fun. We’ve eaten at many Ethiopian restaurants in different cities. Although it’s a shame that SD doesn’t have more Ethiopian food, Lucy is worth the drive from Carlsbad. Injera is great and food is aromatic and well cooked. Highly recommend.“

“Found this place at San Diego December nights 2023 and fell in love. Went back today to check out the actual restaurant and the food is even better. Absolutely love this place and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier / helpful.“

“Friendly service. Amazing portion sizes! Food was very tasty, slight spicy, great prices! Definitely recommend as a lunch spot, or for take out. Seems popular with the students too.Vegetarian options: Great veggie selection, delicious lentils!“

“Absolutely knocked it out of the park. Best service I’ve had from a restaurant in a long time, I don’t normally write reviews but just had to let everyone know to try this place out! Was given free samples of both the chicken and juices without even having to ask. Seriously great food.“

“Pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. So much delicious food! Chicken plate was fabulous, moist, and seasoned well. The lamb was tender and flavorful. Will be returning.“

“I came here bc as a child, my somalian neighbors would give me sambusas and wanted my tastebuds to reminisce, and did they. The sambusas were so flavorful & the fufu with beef & spianch soup were exquisite!. i can not wait to go back & get more !l“

“Steak was brilliant, portions are very generous will go again“

“They're currently remodeling the front so we weren't sure at first if they were a caterer only or had sit down and/or takeout, but oh, my goodness, was I glad that we inquired inside! We were ushered to a table like friends and then personally suggested some of the specialties of the house. My seven-year-old chose fish and I had grilled chicken. Both came with amazingly spiced rice and salad on the side. I'd share a picture but we devoured it too fast so there's nothing to show except happy, full bellies! With food and service like this, we'll definitely be back! Thank you!“
