African Restaurants in Gainesville, FL

“My best friend and I have been dying to try Fufu and Egusi because it’s been all over TikTok and when I stumble upon this place and read all the reviews we knew we had to try it ! We’ve have similar food before like Brown Stew Chicken but not from this place ! We ordered the Fufu and Egusi, Brown Stew Chicken with Jollof Rice, Cabbage, and we were lucky enough to try their Mac & Cheese (which was also raved about), and I ordered their Okra Soup with Fufu & their raspberry leaf tea ! For starters I usually never finish my drink before my food comes but this raspberry leaf tea WAS SO DELICIOUS AND REFRESHING ! I ended up getting another one before leaving. The Fufu and Egusi, Okra Soup, Brow stew chicken, Mac & Cheese, and Jollof rice DID NOT DISAPPOINT! My best friend and I love FLAVOR and their food was not short of it ! The owners were amazing and even offered to let us have a sample before ordering but we just went ahead and ordered an I’m glad we did. Like I said we’ve had brown stew chicken from other places but this chicken was so delicious and the Jollof rice had such a perfect amount of heat that went so well with the chicken and Mac & Cheese. We’ve never had fufu, Egusi, or okra soup before but let me tell you it by far exceeded our expectations. Like I said we’ve been seeing it all over TikTok and we were hoping it wasn’t just a “trend”. THEIR FOOD DESERVES ALL THE HYPE. The owners, the food, and the tea was all amazing and we will definitely be back! This place a the owners deserve all the credit for their hard work and delicious food ! You can really tell they love what they do and it for sure shows in their food !“
