Wakkys African Restaurant

Ordered goat meat stew, egusi and pounded yam, moi moi, and plantains. The food was great. I ordered it for delivery. It was still good when it got to my apartment

Every thing is a 5 star! I came from Boston and wanted to try authentic African food, I was very hesitant at first over the phone conversation but then when I went in the atmosphere was very different. Staff was welcoming friendly and helped me pick out what she thought I would like. And I am very satisfied the food is DELICIOUS. This will be a stop for me each time I’m in New York. Definitely worth the purchase and pricing was very reasonable!

I always order from this spot and today they really disappointed me. I ordered $90.21 through door dash and received nonsense. I ordered 1 okra soup with goat meat, 1 okra soup with mixed meat, goat pepper soup, and efo.

The order was placed at at 2:03pm and the ETA was 3:12 - 3:27. My first assigned driver had to wait for over 30 minutes and I called the restaurant at 3:25pm to check in. I was told the order just needed 5 more minutes. My first driver got tired of waiting (rightfully so) and I was then assigned a new driver. The order ended up going out at 3:51pm. That is crazy from the original ETA. Almost 2 hours!

It doesn’t end there. The first order is of okra with goat meat had ONE PIECE OF GOAT MEAT, 2 pieces of shaki, and what looks like snails? I’m honestly not sure but who asked for that? The second order of okra soup and mixed meat was just full of bones. The efo only had 1 piece of meat, 1 cow foot full of bone, and 2 pieces of small ponmo. And then to top it off, the goat pepper soup wasn’t even filled all the way. For $23 EACH? that is just insane. As if I’m giving away money for free.

Very bad experience and I’m so disappointed. It’s one thing to wait for 2 hours but to wait and then receive rubbish? I’m not even hungry anymore. I won’t be placing an order for a long time.

I advise everyone to proceed with caution or just order in person and throughly check your food. It’s very unfair to give nonsense to paying customers just because it’s delivery. We’re all still paying customers.

I was invited by a friend to celebrate his birthday? and sure was impressed by the location,ambience,food and environment within the quiet Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn
Service was excellent and ordered the fisherman soup? which was quiet flavorful and spicy?
Nice selection of Afro hiphop music blasting in the background made the visit menorable

The prices are very expensive and the wait is very long. I ordered rice and soup (came out to 27.22) on Uber eats for pickup. Uber Eats would be ready in 20-30 mins, and I can pick it up by 5:28. I called to confirm before leaving my house and they said it would be ready in 15 mins (which would be 5:30). I arrive at 5:45 and they said it would be ready in 2 minutes (huhh??) . I’m still waiting as I type this review at 6:05, and it’s STILL not ready. Super frustrating

The food is delicious. It’s been two days since I ate the pepper soup and yam porridge and I’m still going to the bathroom because the food is that spicy. However, it’s so worth it. The owner and the servers were super nice. The restaurant is not the cleanest so I’m scared to see what the kitchen looks like.If you’re willing to risk a bit of food poisoning for delicious food, then you’ve found your spot.
