Ordered Oxtails, Jerk Chicken, and beef...food was delicious but oxtails and beef servings were extremely small...for that reason I can't pay this much for such a small serving and we ordered large plates....😢

I was excited to try Nigerian cuisine for the first time!

It was off- putting that upon entering, staff seated in the small dining area did not greet me with a, "hello" or "welcome". Unsure if it was cultural or just rudeness.

At the counter, in my attempts to chose a meal, the owner appeared to be annoyed with my many questions about the various, unknown foods on the menu. Am I supposed to know what these foreign dishes are?

My "to-go" order was hot and appeared to be freshly made when it came out.

The chicken was very tender and the plates were of ample portions, but beef was tough and chewy. As much as I wanted to like the dishes, the flavor profiles of the food did not agree with my taste and pallet.

All things considered, I can not say that I would return to nor reccomend this restaurant.

THE BEST AFRICAN FOOD IN RALEIGH!!! . So I’ve had a lot of African food in the area and none of it was great . I ordered the Eru, Cassava leaf and fufu and everything came out fresh and delicious. Their lemonade is awesome and not too sweet . The owner Ives is really nice and friendly. He allowed me to sample some of his other dishes and I was happy with everything I tired . I will definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants authentic African cuisine. I will be back very very soon !

My daughter ate here yesterday. She had the egusi with chicken and fufu. She has been raving about how good the food was and how nice the gentleman who assisted her was. She said she thinks he is a really good person. He also sent me egusi with goat, which was most kind and thoughtful. Everything received was delicious and plentiful. Great food combined with excellent customer service has earned this business customers for life. Sending an immense amount of thanks for all you do!

I’ve been looking for an authentic African restaurant since moving to this area and I finally found my go-to spot! I ordered the goat egusi, fufu, and jollof rice and it did not disappoint. Not the best rice I’ve had but definitely THE BEST EGUSI I’ve had by far!!!!! I will be back!

A Hidden Gem of Soul Food!

Elle et Moi Cuisine truly embodies the essence of comfort food! The dishes are flavorful, hearty, and cooked with genuine care. From the moment you walk in, you’re treated like family, and the ambiance makes you feel at home. The fried chicken was crispy perfection, and the mac and cheese was melt-in-your-mouth good. Each bite was a reminder of authentic, home-style cooking with a touch of modern flair. If you’re in Raleigh, you owe it to yourself to dine here. Highly recommend!

I've never had African cuisine before, but holy hell, the food was AMAZING!!!! I got to be the first person to try the chicken egusi, and it was out of this world. I was truly upset that I was getting full because the food was just mouth-watering and full of flavor! We will definitely be coming back and bringing friends along with us!

This place is great. Great food, friendly staff, and chill atmosphere. I had the Beef Stew and it was packed with flavor. Super tender meat and a delicious sauce for fufu. The plantains were amazing, and the jollof rice was flavorful and great as well. Definitely recommend.
