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.

The food is too poor. I'll never go back there.
Open whatever you order before you leave the place as I was charged for goat meat and they put ony cheap fish in my food.
Don't waste your money on the trash they

Restaurantji Recommends
Jollof rice: It was okay if you were going to someone’s house to eat, but not restaurant-worthy tbh.
Fried rice: It was terrible. It tasted like a bunch of village spices and crayfish were dumped inside. Not rich at all, which sucks because that is my favorite food.
Nkwobi: Bad. No cow feet at all, small portion, and just full of palm oil. Not appetizing at all.
Edikaikan: It was okay.
Pepper soup: It was okay.
Suya: Costs $5 per small stick with stale beef and flavorless spice, and a bunch of onions.
Oh, to top it off, I ordered a meat pie (my favorite snack) Please, why did it come as a store-bought Jamaican beef patty? For $4, I could’ve gone to La Fruteria to buy it cheaper if I wanted a beef patty. And if you don’t have meat pie, why not tell the customer instead of giving me a substitute I most likely would have declined. And I almost ordered 4 of them. Thank goodness I didn’t
We spent over $120 for that trash. We only ate the rice and suya there and ordered the rest to go so we didn’t know everything was just going be piss us off. I hate to leave a bad review but the meatpie did it for me. I can’t believe I ordered Nigerian Meatpie and got Jamaican Beef Patty. Nigerians and audacity sha.
Anyway, PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR and don’t waste your time here. Or at the very least check your food before you leave, before you goan pay for rubbish.
