Very disappointed I ordered over $100 worth of food on 9/7 @6:30pm, when I went to pick it up they were CLOSED. No one answered and no one is there. I guess this is why everyone goes to Ikes. Then the owner cas and says we'll have our money back in a few days.I WILL BE GOING TO IKES. THANKS

Always a nice eating experience here. I’m surprised they aren’t busier and more popular. This place is definitely on my radar at all times when considering West African food. The atmosphere is nicer than the other guys across town.

We ordered via Uber Eats. Okra soup was spoiled. Plantains were stale and unappetizing. Fufu was average, but without the soup, my wife will not eat Fufu by itself.

My wife is African and she is very disappointed, not only with the food but with the fact African food is already underrepresented, hence if you engage in the adventure of selling it, not only is it an opportunity but a duty to make it excellent because you potentially carry the burden of a standard. People who have otherwise no other experience with African food may be left forever tainted by this place.

Like other reviewers, the quality has really gone downhill. I ordered jollof rice and the rice tasted old. Won't be ordering from here again.

I have been coming here since 2018. I usually have a good experience, but since last year I’ve noticed a drop in the quality of the food. I’ve been trying to give them grace, but I have had less than stellar food the last 2 times I have been there. The final straw was ordering Jollof and kelewele for a friend and I. The kelewele was simply not tasty. I could forgive it if it was simply due to the plantain being a little harder than I would like it, but the kelewele spice mix was just not done well. Then the Jollof basically had no actual flavor. All I tasted was seasoning cubes. It was really disappointing getting my food to go, only to come home and still be left hungry. Hopefully something will be done about it soon as I really enjoyed the food when I first started going there a couple years back, and recommend it to everyone I know. It’s quite embarrassing when I recommend Cafe Songhai lately, and people give me bad reviews, so I won’t be doing that anymore.

First time trying this place. Didn't like how the waitress with the braids named Mel treated me. I wanted to walk to the bar but she stood in front of me like I couldn't just walk to the bar without her asking me where I'm going. I decided to order my food and when the food came out I put my hand out to grab the bag and she didn't even put it in my hand she placed it on the counter. I'm not sure if she had an attitude towards me but she made me feel very uncomfortable. Hopefully she treats other women better. Bc I will not want her to be my waitress again.

Kid-friendliness: They have some high chairs and they are happy to serve kids. Not really a kids menu, but lots of bite-sized options kids love like kelewele, fried plantains, or beef suya.

The host/ waiter was very attentive and the restaurant is nice. However, I was taken back by the meat pie. 7$ for 1. The meat pie was tasteless and extremely HARD. It was not fresh at all. The beef suya was flavorful and tender.

Wow. Just wow. The staff. The food. Wow. Wow, wow, wow. Please, please, please come here if you want pure authentic West African cuisine made with so much love. The atmosphere was amazing, the staff was sweet and had the best sense of humor to keep the night going. 11/10 for everything. Had the Egusi with pounded yam (fufu) and <<chef's kiss>>... Amazing.
