Save your money I ordered the jollof rice and chicken no chicken More rice that was bland with seems like canned tomatoes also order the oxtails let’s just say. The smell that was coming from my oxtail plate I didn’t even try it i threw that crap right in the trash also oxtails had so much fat on it and also ordered the bland no salt chicken wings I had high hopes for this place but after paying almost 100 dollars I will never return do better season your food and whatever ridiculous smell that came from the oxtail rice and beans plate smelled like death waste of money & time and also these 5 * reviews literally seems a lil suspect cause their is no way anyone would give this place 5*

The food is simply amazing, I ordered the Jumbo Oxtail Stew x3 Peanut Soup, Jollof Rice, Greens and FuFu for my family and Myself this is our second time and we still Love the flavor, the customer service.
We attempted another place that was closer to home and it was no comparison. Kendejah is hands down our go to spot for mouth watering, flavor filled, soul fulfilling West African Cuisine.

Atmosphere: is outdoors only couple tables.
Service: is quick & fast.
The food.... The oxtail is good not much flavor no spices. One single dish will run you $25 that comes with 4 pieces of oxtail and 75% of the dish is rice. You're practically buying a dish of rice at this point. Rice has no flavor every mouthful you have, it tastes like a cardboard box, it's unappetizing eating it at this point.
They have a bigger size with 8 pieces of oxtail, I can only imagine the price.
I would rather drive to San Jose and check out the "Back-a-yard Caribbean grill"
The oxtail has flavor the rice has flavor, they have different levels of spices, it comes with 2 pieces of jerk chicken, it has 4 or more pieces of oxtail, it has a decent amount of rice, it comes with plantains I could get all of that plus a drink for the exact amount I spent without a drink & it's the same size as the bowl that holds 8 pieces of oxtail at Kendejah restaurant.
I had high expectations because of the reviews and it didnt wow me at all.
The oxtail was good but just no flavor the rice wasn't good at all.
Not saying I won't be back at Kendejah restaurant. maybe today was just one of those days that they didn't put too much work in or was missing stuff.
But for now I'm fine with driving 47min to get some delicious oxtail with jerk chicken combination at that place in SJ.

They were very nice and the food was very delicious and filling! However they currently don’t have any seating areas in the restaurant but that’s not much of an issue for me!

**edit: i will put my review back to 5 stars once i get my refund.they hired some new cashiers, which is great! but one didn't know how to ring up a fufu substitute instead of rice and charged me $TWENTY extra. next time, i told her about it, and she admitted her mistake. but when i asked for a refund, she didn't give me one. idk if she didn't hear me or what. the food is still amazing, but y'all owe me $20.when i pick up an order from kendejah, i always want to do a happy dance! i used to stop myself for fear of looking silly. but once, i saw a grown man pick up his meal and shout, "YUMMYYYYY!" as he got in the car. so now i don't feel weird for showing how much i love this food.favorites:potato greens (mon, tues, thurs, sat)eggplant (wed)collard greens (sun)goat soup w/ fufu (every day except sat)
