West African Restaurants near East Orange, NJ

“Fatu’s kitchen did not disappoint! I had the potato greens with rice and my hubby had Jollof rice with chicken. The food was very tasty and hot. Our server was patient and polite and the restaurant was decent, and a lot bigger than how it looks from the outside.“

“Been here a few times. Maybe the people too lazy to come inside a restaurant to eat need to stop complaining about their orders. If you want something quick go to a fast food. If you want quality then you need to learn some patience. When ordering inside the restaurant Mr. Benson really takes his time. He even had brought our fresh cut watermelon while we waited. His food portions are huge. You get great service when you sit to eat! Food is tasty and cannot complain.

“So far, one of the best African food spots in the Newark/Irvington area. The food is delicious, well-seasoned, and tastes very authentic. The service is also great. Definitely a place I would recommend if you are looking for quality African cuisine.“

“When conducting business, customer service and integrity are crucial to me. Having dealt with many Nigerian businesses, I’ve found that integrity and customer service is often lacking; however, Modupe is a remarkable exception. Her customer service is A+.
I recently ordered from her restaurant through Grubhub twice, but for some reason, the order was canceled both times. Instead of letting it go, she took the initiative to ask for my address and delivered the food to my house herself—unbelievable! As a business owner, I know that is truly going the extra mile. I just want to say thank you so much for your incredible service!“

“I came here with my family and loved it! The food is sooo good and the portions are great! I had to take it home! The owner is also so nice. Definitely coming back again. My mom who doesn’t like outside food at all lovesss the owners food! Definitely coming back!!✨✨✨“

“The BEST african restaurant you will ever try.“

“Actually, I'm originally from Kenya and I like West African food; I stumbled on this place by accident, the word Buffet meant something to me, I decided to check it out,little did I know that it's an African cuisine; Gad and her mom were very nice to me, I picked all types of food on the Buffet to carry home into my fridge. The food is GREAT, Togo and Ghanaian food Gad said, the service is GREAT, very friendly people; at the end of eating a little taste of it, I forgot my important documents in there; that means the food was just too good until I lost my memory for a bit. Gad is real great in interacting with customers, like daughter like mom. I'll go back to pick upbmy documents and eat some more. I give it 5 star in all categories, you should check it out asap.

“Authentic tasting! I use to mess with a Liberian guy and this taste like his moms.Collard greens, cassava leave and potatoes greens are my absolute favorite!The owners are so pleasant. I’ve been coming here for like 4 years now and I’ve only been disappointed once and even then he made it happen for me!“

“I have ordered from here at least a handful of times, the food is great and the service is nice. I just wish the prices were consistent. Sometimes I pay a couple extra dollars on the exact same order. Aside from that It would’ve gotten 5 stars.“

“Yummy & just enough spice. I will definitely be back!“

“I eat here and order regular since COVID. Fast service. Courteous staff. Very kind owners community oriented. Food is exceptional and portion sizes are great. 2 people can eat one dinner meal.“

“Ordered through Uber Eats and the food was fresh and tasty. I think it’s the best in the neighborhood so far and I’m happy to see a west African restaurant on this side of town. My husband enjoyed then jollof rice and chicken and I enjoyed the egusi soup with fufu. We love west African food so this is a huge plus. The food was fantastic!“
