West African Restaurants near Irvington, NJ

“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!“

“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.“

“The Food in Staten Island. I travel from Harlem just to go and pick up some food and I definitely buy enough to last me a few days.“

“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!!✨✨✨“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.

“I’m a jamaican who loves African food dearly. I love the culture and food as a whole. A friend of mine recently switched jobs so I can no longer get the authenticity any more of the food. But i heard of this place from a friend and decided to try because i was craving saki with egusi and pounded yam. Food was absolutely amazing, just the right amount of spice in my book and the meat was very tender which i loved. You can tell they cleaned the meat very well as it had no smell to it. I can’t even express my enjoyment for the food. My only disappointment is that I ordered the saki, beef, and chicken and instead of getting the saki i got two pieces of meat. But other than that i had a good experience with this place. Also keep in mind i ordered this food from uber eats and the food took 40-50 minutes to get to me and the food was still amazing warm and hot. That’s a plus for me“
