African Restaurants near Van Nuys, CA

“I had been craving Efo Riro (vegetable soup), pounded yam, and Jollof for a while now and was told to try The Peppered Goat. I ordered Jollof and chicken and it did not disappoint!! That rice was so good and the chicken was cooked to perfection falling off the bone. I do like my rice a little spicier as I am accustomed to about 3 habaneros but it was still good! The man that greeted me was super nice as well. I can't wait to go back for the pounded yam and vegetable!“

“Beautiful food. Great , welcoming service. ❤❤❤“

“Wifey and I had a wonderful experience tonight at Ile is home. We were visiting LA and wanted to find some good African food. We were familiar with the concept of Ile is home and always wanted to try it. I am so glad we did. It felt like we were at home with my cousins eating amazing food and having a great concept. It was def something new for us and but I am so glad we did it bc it was and experience we will never forget. The price is worth it bc you get even more than what you pay for. It’s like the best of Africa right in LA. Can’t wait to come back and bring more family and friends so they can experience our new favorite place in LA“

“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.“

“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 !!“

“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.“
