African Restaurants in Chicago, IL

“The food there was fantastic am Cameroonian I said I should try out some Nigeria food and I never regretted it, it located beside downtown so on a busy day I think parking would be an issue but overall restaurant very clean and neat, service on point and unlike other African restaurants I have been to getting the food ready was quick“

“We were greeted when we walked in, and felt very welcome. She helped with some recommendations, I loved it. Super authentic and that’s what I was looking for. I walked out struggling from eating so much. I couldn’t eat more if I wanted to, Lol.
My plate was on the right, btw!“

“The only issue i had with my last order was they added sugar to the fufu which we never do in any African cuisine.“

“Family friendly and great service. Food is fresh and professionally served in a nice dish. Also, a good place for Large groups. I will frequent this restaurant. #RevDrChantellBeatyBello“

“Perosnal experience at NAYOS:
I don't live in Chicago, but for Nayos African Cuisines, I am ready to travel that far just to have a taste of a good African dish. The food was tasty, well spiced. Serving portion, generous. He was not stingy with his delicious meal. Atmosphere was excellent. Service was very professional. Wait time was great. Price for the food, excellent. My wife and I had to stay one more day to enjoy Nayos again before heading back home. The only issue was parking. This is a general problem in Chicago, so, not Nayos fault. But it was easy for us to find parking around Nayos. Thank God!
I hope to visit Chicago again soon. One of the reasons for this visit would be to visit Nayos.“

“Everything that we got was amazing, no cap! The curry sauce on the polenta and prawns is crazy. The stuffed plantains were delicious. The star was the pineapple wings for appetizer, and the bread pudding for dessert. Literally chef’s kiss. The service was top tier too!“

“Delicious home-style food. Nice and spicy! A++“

“I called to order bitter leave soup, it was so good and I ended up buying extra Okazi, Afang soups and well seasoned Jollof rice .
The lady knows what she is doing.
I will advise you to call ahead because she makes everything fresh and not microwave warm food“

“oh my gosh. first time eating Somali food. absolutely loved experimenting with different types of breads, the different condiments, eating with banana pouring tea with spices on the food. what a great variety of combinations. So absolutely delicious. if I lived locally to Chicago I would be eating here on the regular! place is simple in decor, long on wants and hospitality. not a lot of seating. five tables total. customer base seems very friendly lots of smelling cab drivers.“

“It’s about time Chicago gets solid West African cuisine. Dozzy didn’t disappoint. Had the Designer Jollof Rice Bowl and it was delicious. I combined it with a couple orders of the shrimp suya sticks which put it over the top. Now, I loved the jollof, but that’s to be expected. What wasn’t expected was the shrimp. I can honestly say it was some of the best I’ve ever had. The herbs were perfect and it was grilled just the way I like it. I’ve known Dozzy for a long time and I’m so happy he’s sharing his gift to the world. Y’all get some.“
