West African Restaurants in Brooklyn, NY

“It was my first time learning about Nigerian food. RADIO KWARA has to be the best way to do that. We thoroughly enjoyed the fabulously and meticulously cooked sauces. The flavors were beautifully curated, well balance use of peppers and spices. Have eaten plantain a few times but never as well as these. Its the first time I was compelled to click pics of everything we ate. We didnt take any alcohol with us since we had no idea what the flavors would be so what would pair well but not once did we miss a sip.

I recommend this to everyone to try again and again as the menu keeps changing apparently“

“Incredible vibe. Unique vinyl selection, amazing food, and a host who has mastered the art of the evening. It feels like dining at the house of someone with impeccable taste in both spice and sound. The speakers are the absolute star of the room—crisp, warm, and perfectly tuned to the space. 10/10, would move in if I could.“

“My family and I were in the area and were looking for somewhere to eat. We walked into the restaurant, and the aroma from the food told me all I needed to know. Though we didn’t understand the dishes, the staff ensured that we understood what we were ordering. The food was so good! We had lamb and chicken with jollof rice and salad. The food was plenty and very delicious! We definitely will be coming back!“

“This was my first time coming here from Connecticut and I loved their food I was looking for pure authentic African food and here is where I found it ...the staff was super awesome and friendly I would definitely return when I visit new york again.“

“It's on same block, few yards away from Masjid Taqwa. Food and price are great for budget, there is always people frequenting so you know food quality is good and its always moving. Plenty of seating, no frills, people continue to come here for so many years“

“I would post a picture but I ate my entire platter (2 people could've shared that but I ate all of it). Everything was delicious- it looks like they had not so great reviews a few months ago but maybe they fixed the issue because my meal and fresh juice was fantastic, especially for the price.“

“This place is cash only!
I was in the neighborhood, so I looked up places to get Nigerian food and then I found this spot.
I was really excited to try my first jollof rice.
Talking to the owners,
I explain that I would only like to do vegetables and jollof rice, no meat.
They were very understanding and gave exactly what I asked for. Because there was no meat the price was different.

The food was delicious, thank you for a wonderful meal.
When I am done abstaining from meat, I will come back for their fufu and okra soup with goat. I look forward to trying that for the first time as well.“

“My friends took me here. This is the best Nigerian food i’ve tasted in NYC thus far. And i’ve tasted a lot. I was impressed. I was so full but i couldn’t stop eating. However the service wasn’t so good. I feel the lady wasn’t to attentive cuz there was so much going on she couldn’t keep up. But the food which is the main attraction A.“

“Good and tasty food. Neat environment. Pleasant owners and staff.“
