I have always had a positive experience eating here the food is great and it fills me up every time. It’s unfortunate other people’s bad personal experiences but don’t let it hinder you from trying some authentic cuisine. Not many places serve coconut rice or even Kalaloo both are delicious here. 🤍💚

i’m highly disappointed at the service.

i ordered to go and they gave me basically 4 plantains and a size of fish that was the size of a bread roll. i never got my fish stew AND they admitted that my portion would be better if i dined in next time???? the portion to go should be the same because i am PAYING the same.

don’t ever order to go here.

The old man there at night way extremely rude. He kept insulting me because I took time figuring out what app i used to order. Door dash or uber eats. That was very unprofessional and traumatizing. And the jollof is not good it’s like white rice and palm oil no taste.

You can BYOB. Very good meals, on a good day (some days may not be) . Fair price for some of the menu. Long wait if you don't order ahead. Friendly and chatty owner.

Rolled into Vee‑Vee’s African Restaurant for dinner—dropped about $25 on jollof rice with goat meat and a side of plantains. The flavors were on point—rice had that nice spice kick, goat was tender, and plantains were crispy-sweet. Staff was friendly and let me BYOB, which is clutch. Seating was cozy but packed, and wait was decent. Top-tier dinner spot north side—just wish portions were a smidge bigger. Will def be back!

Yo, Vee-Vee's is the real deal. I grabbed the Jollof Rice with goat meat and fried plantains—total came to about $25. The rice was perfectly spiced, not too heavy, and the goat was tender and flavorful. Plantains were on point, crispy on the outside, sweet on the inside. Delivery was quick, and the food came hot. If you're looking for authentic African flavors in the city, this spot's a must.

First time eating at the restaurant though I've had it many times at the Taste of Chicago booth. We had the jollof rice with fried fish and one with chicken stew. It was delicious and the servings were plentiful. I will definitely come back again and I highly recommend.
