West African Restaurants in Bronx, NY

“The shito they make is excellent“

“The food is amazing and you can taste the culture. Restaurant space is also very clean and the staff where all kind and welcoming. I highly recommend👌🏿“

“I came here around a decade ago. They did not have a buffet back then, as many of the reviews here state. I remember liking this food. The restaurant was empty when it was new, mostly because the neighborhood folks couldn't afford restaurant food. But I noticed a large staff, which gave me the impression of whoever opened this spot, did it with love.

I'm Latin X of Caribbean Colombian and Coastal Ecuadorian decent. I came here to say, many Colombians would be shocked to find what Colombians believed were their cultural foods, right here in a West African restaurant. I remember seeing a whole wall stacked with just bunuelos, Colombian style. When I asked, oh you guys sell Colombian food too? They all looked at me like I was crazy, even though I was standing right next to the bunuelos, slowly realizing, the bunuelo isn't Colombian, it is actually West African as they told me it was their nationality's bread. I just can't remember if they said that bread originated in Uganda or Angola.

I have recently moved back to NYC. I think I will return to this place and find out. Fellow Colombians, come and check this place out. Find out where your grandparent's cooking magic originated from. Wepa!“

“Fouta halal is one of the best west African restaurants in The Bronx located at 1762 Westchester ave right off the corner of st. Lawrence 6 train station I’ve been going here for over 25 years now and the food is always amazingly delicious so if you’re ever in the area you should definitely try them out the prices are worth every dollar. On Sundays only they have a delicious Cheebu Guinar (AKA) Jollof rice with chicken very flavorful and delicious 💯 Thank you Fouta Halal great food and service“

“Nice and quaint restaurant but very small. They greeted us at the door and sat us promptly but it took a while for us to get a waitress and a longer time to receive our meals.
2 table who arrived after us got food and their check before we received ours, we had to call another server to get in touch with our to ask where the food was.
When we received it, most of the sides were cold. Everything tasted really good, the chicken could have been seasoned a bit more but was cooked well.
We drove from Md 5hrs just to go to this place, and we let our waitress know about this.
The service and cold food made it not worth our while. I would visit again if in my town or nearby, but I will not be making another trip simply because I saw it on social media.
My sister loved the fish and lamb so that is great.“

“Absolutely love this place! We really needed something like this where you can order from different restaurants all in one spot. My food was perfectly packed, incredibly delicious, and super fast. I’m so glad one opened nearby. I used to go to the one near my job on 23rd Street, so this is super convenient!“

“the restaurant says (poster outside) it accepts EBT card and also when we asked the staffs they said the same too. but when we ordered the food the staff said they dont accept EBT card, they only accept cash. Liar“

“We stumbled on this place your local home-cooked. The food is great. They just need to get more organized. We came there with friends raving about the food place our orders and they came back stating they ran out. We had to wait. It was late on a Saturday. If you’re going there go early before they run out of food.“

“The neighborhood is a bit suspect but the food is GOOD! The maafe was GREAT! I’m really particular with maafe, so I was surprised at how good it was.

I had some of the lamb too and it was surprisingly good! Very tender! Came right off the bone!

The aloco (plantain) was perfect and the fish was good too!

Don’t go in there thinking you’re going to sit down and have dinner. Get everything to go and enjoy at home!!!“

“No menu, but the restaurant workers were patient and detailed! Although Having a menu would have assisted non traditional customers like myself with the ordering style and limit question.

I order beef and jollof, and The manager told me to go sit down! The meal was everything and more, and the service and staff are patient with the non traditional patrons ❤“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I recently visited Kumasi Restaurant and I had an amazing experience. The food was absolutely delicious and very authentic. If you are looking for real Ghanaian and West African flavors, this is definitely the place to go. The dishes were fresh, well-seasoned, and reminded me of home.

The customer service was also excellent. The staff were very welcoming, friendly, and made sure we were comfortable throughout our visit. The environment was clean and lively, with a great atmosphere for family and friends.

I highly recommend Kumasi Restaurant to anyone in New York who wants to enjoy authentic African cuisine. I will definitely be coming back again. 👍🏾🔥“

“The Mafè and the accompanying Sosu Kaani were flavorful and comforting.“

“Excellent service. Extremely delicious authentic Nigerian cuisine. Great at accommodating large parties and catering. 5 stars!“
