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

“Let’s just say I’m mad I only got half! As a Nigerian, Gambian jollof is AMAZING! Sheesh! My first time I ordered the half loaded fries with lamb meat with my fries tossed in honey bbq sauce which was amazing as well! I though I was going to order that the second time, but I had to try the jollof rice, I’M SO GLAD I DID!! 🥹🔥♥️🥵“

So tonight on a actual Wednesday night, I attended the Red Room Lounge off of Buford and boy, oh boy, let me get started. First, I showed up around 11:45 close to midnight, chilled in the parking lot. A little bit, then went inside, I went inside wasn't too crowded, sat in my little section ordered a drink, hookah, and some wings. The waitress she was cool. Not too much, not too little. The aesthetic was nice, very decorated flags from different countries, everywhere. I love it. It's an African Club. Not sure if it was afrobeats night or just afrobeats all the time But that's what it was giving and it was amazing. Didn't know, many of the songs but had a great time. The people were vibing, the DJ was driving, the Vibes were vibing. That's all I could say, baby. Now let's get into the drink. The cup wasent full. I did not like it. The chicken wings Look as though the chickens were born yesterday, too Tiny, the hookah was cool. And the coal was changed. Loved it then the shenanigans started. The DJ was vibing Everybody was vibing. Next thing you know it's a a Drummer drumming in the middle of the party. Amazing never seen that before. The drummer proceeded to give a personal show, around the club to different sections. What was very nice? I loved it. After that, people started ordering bottles, and when you order a certain bottle, you get a show, they come out with dancing signs lit up sparklers and a man dressed in a white trench coat with a bowl of fire to present your bottle as though he is the messiah presenting you this bottle and it was a show after that show next thing you know there's a Cage being lifted off the ground with one of the women from in the club dancing in it. And you get to take turns dancing in this cage. And underneath the cage, they will light a bowl of fire underneath you. When I say, it didn't stop there. The place closes at 2:00, it went on till damn near three cuz of vibe was vibing. And after that, we walk two doors down to the next spot that closed at 6:00 a.m.“

“I want to thank Paul and the Makay Chop Bar & Catering team for an excellent experience last week.

We ordered light goat soup, and the food was delivered earlier than expected and very well packaged. Paul’s communication and attention to detail showed a level of professionalism that truly stands out. He is helping set a strong standard for professionalism in African restaurants and catering services.

Most importantly, the food was delicious. The light goat soup was a big hit, and the shito was my personal favorite.

I wish Makay Chop Bar & Catering continued growth and success as the business scales. I will definitely be recommending them and sending more customers their way.“

“I came on a Wednesday, got there a little before they opened on accident, but was still treated very nicely and was not turned down. The owner and the bartender (raven) were both very nice, the food and drinks were a 10/10 I would definitely recommend and I will be back for sure - Nique“

“I drive all the way here from Stone Mountain for the food. Recommend!! ✨️“

“Found this spot on social media and I’m elated that I did!!! It’s in a small spot but that’s great. Not too much of a crowd. You can be very casual and enjoy great food!! The chef is very engaging and explains each dish. Everything was made fresh. The Suya and corn are “chef’s kiss”. But again, everything was great. Don’t overlook this hidden gem in Stone Mountain!!!“

“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.

I began my meal with a refreshing natural juice that was a harmonious blend of flavors, invigorating and uplifting with every sip. It was the kind of drink that fills you with energy and warmth, setting a perfect foundation for what was to come.

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.

What truly resonated with me during my visit was the ambiance infused with a spirit of peace, love, and prosperity—values that seem to permeate every corner of Manding Cafe. 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. It’s a place that nourishes not just the body but the soul, much like the comforting meals that bring joy and energy to life. I’ll certainly be back for more of that uplifting spirit and delicious nourishment!

“I order here all the time. I love the egusi soup with goat meat and pounded. Always extremely flavorful and portions are generous. I love Sheba as well the first couple of times I used door dash but since meeting her it’s my pleasure to go in and pick up. She is sweet and she gets to know her customers when she can. You can tell she has a passion for what she does. Hope she’s around forever! Oh yea and make sure you are prepared to pay when you order over the phone ? Sometimes ppl order and don’t pick up!“

“The way I demolished that food!!!! It was so delicious 😋 I will definitely be back! The ladies at the counter made it even better. They were so sweet and had great customer service. It was my first time and I was extremely satisfied. The red snapper, jollof & Fataya were finger licking good! 👍🏽 I would leave a picture, but no crumbs were even left! Until next time 👋🏽...“
