African Restaurants in Atlanta, GA

“Great food - Great people! They treated us so wonderfully!“

“I got the seafood pepper soup and it was one of the best dishes I’ve tasted! The soup was so flavorful and they were not shy with the seafood. Chauncy and the other cooks made everything on the spot and from scratch, so everything was freshly made. The portion sizes were great and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend this place to anyone!“

“Great food coming here for years“

“Great customer service made ordering very easy. The beef and shrimp fried rice was so delicious and adding the shito to this dish really topped it off. I had to try the okra stew with banku, and again I was not disappointed!! They have me as a customer that will keep returning. Just wow!“

“Amazing Gambian spot. Had the Shawarma Beef Wrap and Plantain. Took a little while to receive the food but the wait was worth it. It was made very well and tasted very good. Excellent customer service and atmosphere. Highly recommend you try it!!“

“This is some of the best African food I've tasted but the portion size for the price needs revision. I paid $17 for 4 pieces of goat because a few pieces of it was pure bone with no meat and the egusi soup came in a four oz container. It was $47 not including tip and uber fees for a tiny soup four goat pieces fried plantain and a pounded yam on uber eats. Usually when I pay this much I have enough food for breakfast but here I am hungry and looking at my bank debit and having to get Uber eats elsewhere for my breakfast. But the flavor is there.“

“I wasn’t disappointed at all. I was scared at some of the reviews, but I am glad I followed my instincts. Best food so far in Atlanta“

“Makay Chopbar catered my wedding last weekend and everything was a hit! Our menu included jollof with veggies, spring rolls, plantains, meatpies, grilled chicken, tomato goat stew, beef suya, and egusi! We barely had leftovers and all the guests raved how flavorful, tender, hot, and delicious the food was to honor my husband’s culture. It was a joy to see folks who never had this food going back for seconds and even grabbing to-go containers.

The communication was impeccable and the chef accommodated special requests for food preparation to use traditional ingredients. The team arrived on time, created a lovely display, and the servers were so friendly. They also cleaned the area very well before departing.

Next time we’re in town we’ll definitely order food and even try the their shipping option to VA! Paul runs a honest and affordable catering business. We greatly appreciate the entire staff for making our wedding day extra special!“

“Real deal, beef Suya, oxtails, jollof rice, fried rice“

“I’ve now been 3x and the food and atmosphere was a hit. The most recent time we went for live music and loved it. It’s an amazing date spot or just to go with a friend. I’ve had something different to eat each time and enjoyed it.

The calypso wings *chef’s kiss*! The lamb chops were tasty. The snapper fish is great if you like a little spice. My husband loved my jollof rice more than his rice and beans. It’s a preference thing because i enjoyed both!

Our service is always A1. The food isn’t fast which is fine because when I
Get it it’s actually hot and tasty.

It’s nice to have a place near home for date nights bc we don’t fancy going to the city for a nice experience.

I’m a fan!

Parking: One time I’ve gone there was valet available but i self parked which i prefer.“

“The food was delicious enjoyed all of it!!“

“Nestled on Old National Highway, Manding Cafe is a true treasure that captures the vibrant essence and rich culture of West Africa right in Atlanta. As someone who has a deep appreciation for natural juices and hearty, wholesome meals reminiscent of the comfort food that fuels the spirit (much like what Popeye the Sailor Man felt) I was eager to dive into the offerings at Manding Cafe.

Walking through the doors, I was greeted with warm smiles and the enticing aromas of spices that instantly transported me to a place filled with joy and comfort. The decor, adorned with elements reflecting the Manding heritage, created an inviting atmosphere that felt like home.

As I enjoyed my meal, the experience was akin to the delightful feeling Popeye gets when he consumes his beloved spinach; a sense of vitality and fulfillment washed over me. Each bite was nourishing, leaving me with a sense of deep satisfaction and comfort that warmed my heart. The textures were delightful, offering a fulfilling experience that felt both enriching and soulful.

The attentive and friendly staff added to the overall experience, providing insights into the dishes and the culture they represent. Their commitment to sharing the joy of Manding cuisine was palpable, radiating positivity and a genuine sense of family.

It’s clear that this establishment is not just about food; it’s about creating an experience that uplifts and nourishes the spirit.

Overall, Manding Cafe is a vibrant culinary haven in Atlanta, perfect for anyone seeking the rich flavors of West Africa.

Everything was seasoned and flavored well. The chicken was super tender and I loved the grilled onion on top. I will frequent this place from now on. Two thumbs up!!“
