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.

“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!“

“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!

Thank you Mrs. Binta!!!🙏🏾🙌🏾😇“

“I was craving African food and didn't want to leave the house so I searched Uber for one I haven't been to. Found this place on Riverdale Rd. Ordered the jollof rice and Dibi. It was soooo good. 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!!“

“Excellent food and service from Makay African Kitchen. Food was delivered on time, and definitely good value for the money. Delicious dishes all around. What can I say about those yam balls? Delicious! Thanks Paulus, more orders coming your way.“

“Just stopped by this place. I ordered salmon which was delicious and really enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and good music ! Will be back soon!“

“Small eatery with great customer service! Ms. Veronica was very helpful in helping me decide on a soup to try. I ended up getting the Ogbono soup with whiting fish. You have to request it spicy as everyone doesn’t prefer this. The soup was delicious and spicy enough but not too spicy! I went back the next day for the egusi!“

“Food was delicious, period!“

“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!“

“Very good food customer service the best“

“224 has the best food on Auburn Street I would definitely recommend“

“I was a little disappointed because I came specifically for jollof rice and they didn't have any. So I bought oxtails and rice and fried plaintains and it was delicious. The cashier was very friendly and informative. I will definitely go back“
