African Restaurants in Newark, NJ

“Fantastic food, good service. I highly recommend this place.“

“I got the chicken jollof. The people are very friendly and nice. Rice was just okay but the chicken was definitely very good. I would definitely want to come back but I most certainly will not. I paid $27 literally for some chicken, rice, and cabbage. Call it a portion and a half but I did eat the entire thing. Really though, I can go almost anywhere in this city and get the same, if not better, for $12-15. I’ll be honest, I am not even sure how they remain in business charging those prices to people. Well, that’s my two cents minus 2,700. Up to you if you want to give it a go.“

“A friend recommended this restaurant to me and said all good stuff about this restaurant and I gave it a trial and l met the exact quality. Very tasty, the amala with gbe giri soup was super delicious , the egusi was excellent, I will definitely come again and l recommended it to everyone, " the real taste from home".“

“The BEST african restaurant you will ever try.“

“My order was quite enjoyable. I had some large fish that was topped with rice that had been seasoned and sauteed onions and peppers. Since I had never really had African food before, I ordered something that didn't really fit with my order, so I really appreciate that they phoned me. The ginger beverage was flavorful, zesty, and refreshing.“

“I loved my experience at Amat African Food! The egunsi with fufu was amazing, so flavorful and comforting. The jollof rice with chicken was really good too, perfectly cooked and full of taste. Portions are generous, and the staff are super friendly. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to!“

“I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant.. A little spicy, but a good spice.. Our food was absolutely Delicious!!!! Great ambiance, music was good... Support Black Owned Businesses....“

“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.“

“Always order takeout from here and I’ve gone through their menu items extensively. Delicious, filling, fresh and they’re not stingy with quantity. Most importantly they are VERY consistent. I know whenever I order I’m getting exactly what I paid for and it’ll taste good.“
