African Restaurants near Oakland, CA

“I recently enjoyed a catered lunch from this local place. Never eaten East African cuisine before and definitely not familiar with it,I was skeptical at first..Once the lids came off and I got a whiff of that aroma, oh my goodness!

One of *THEE* best lunches I've had too date.Nothing too spicy , hearty and delicious..Absolutely perfect on a cold day or night. Warm and filling and made with love & perfection.Thankyou.“

“We got egusi with oxtail & fufu, and a jollof rice plate. They also have a homemade sea moss drink here. The food was super flavorful and kinda felt like eating in someone's home, which we loved.

Really liked this meal and the owner is super nice!! I can see why there were so many regulars :)“

“Great Food, Great Service“

“It’s been my favorite restaurant since moving to the neighborhood two years ago. The food is not only consistently fantastic, but it is always extremely deeply flavorful. The Lamb alicha, my current favorite, has a lot of warming spices that meld well, and every other bite a new one surfaces: green cardamom, later ginger, then a chili powder. Don’t skip the flax seed milkshake, which is toasty, rich, and flavored with honey. Service is friendly and quick. My favorite!“

“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!!!!!“

“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.“

“Food was good. The quality was good but they have to work on the business portion of things instead of being high priced. to make profit isnt about high price. paid $35 and she asked me what I want with it and I said goat. Im thinking since I paid that much it was included but they charged me separate for the goat about $6 and I ordered 2 extra $3.50 starch, Out the door like $49. they need a reasonable price 2 keep people coming back than a high price dat keeps people thinking maybe. It could taste good but you're competing with every other restaurant that got $15 plates. I got a lot more to help them improve but they gonna have 2 pay me for that 😭“
