Ayo African Restaurant & Bar offers a variety of savory African dishes, including egusi soup, jollof, and suya. The owner is friendly, and the Gulder African beer is strong. Customers praise the well-prepared meals, such as white rice with catfish. The staff is cheerful, funny, and always helpful. While some find the flavors a bit strong, it is considered one of the best spots in town for authentic African cuisine.
The food is described as very delicious and tasty, with egusi soup being a hit every single time. Customers note that the portion sizes may be reduced when ordering for takeout compared to dining in. Some have experienced that the specific type of meat requested is not available, and no apologies or substitutions are offered. However, the energy of the owner and employees is inviting and professional, and they are helpful in explaining the different dishes, making it a welcoming place for those trying African food for the first time.
The atmosphere is described as homely, with a low-key vibe filled with kind people. Many customers found their experiences amazing, enjoying a variety of flavors. The smoked fish and goat dishes were particularly praised as being perfectly cooked. The food is considered very good for the price, and it is prepared quickly, although there is room for improvement in customer service due to language barriers.
