African Restaurants near Jamaica, NY

“Love the food at Aso Rock! I normally get the Jollof and fish and it never disappoints. I tried the fufu and veggies today and loved it! The customers sitting next to me raved about the boneless goat head with white rice which I will try next time. The owner appreciated that I knew much about the culture and food since I am not African. The other customers also appreciated my knowledge of the culture and treated me to a free plum wine which I also enjoyed. I normally have a good experience here and will definitely return!!!!“

“Bunna Cafe has some great Ethiopian food and is exclusively a vegetarian place on top of that (I don't know about most people but I personally love my meat). However, despite not serving meat, Bunna Cafe still delivers flavor at great prices and portion sizes. My favorites were the spicy lentil and mushroom one but I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. The hospitality was exceptional as well. No complaints here!“

“Cute, small African restaurant with food on steam trays. It is also halal. The owner is very sweet and friendly. She offered me samples. I ended up getting the beef stew, jollof, and a chicken dish that I didn't remember the name of. Might have been yassa. The food wasn't that spicy although the flavor of the chicken with onions has a really strong mustard flavor. The pounded yam helps mellow out the flavor. The jollof was grainy. I enjoyed the beef stew. The food was ok, but I had better.“

“This is a halal Algerian spot with very authentic food. They have sandwiches and platters and some flavorful side dishes. I had the merguez sandwich and chicken sandwich, and a couple side dishes. The Merguez was amazing, very delicious sausage type dish in a hero roll with fries inside. There's not a lot of seating space so it's a great takeout spot.“

“One of my favorite places to eat!! Truly a hidden gem!!First off, they’re halal! I feel like this has to be mentioned because it’s not really advertised.Their food is amazing!!!!!!! Their dibi lamb is mouthwateringly good. Their plantains and jollof rice was so flavorful as well. Everything is juicy and cooked to perfection. They have this amazing hot sauce as well which elevated their dishes even more. Their prices are so reasonable and their portion sizes are massive. Also, try their sorrel/bissap drink!In addition to their tasty food, their customer service is off the charts. The gentleman in the front is so friendly and accommodating. He’s great to talk to and gives great recommendations. He really has a positive energy.Again, 10/10 would recommend to anyone!!“

“10-10, it was my first trying fufu and jolof. The lady in the front was soooo sweet and let us try some turkey wings since it was our first time trying that type of food. I absolutely loved my soup and chicken with the fufu it was sooooo good. I’ve been telling everyone about it so many more people should be heading you guys way. I absolutely loved it.“

“All good things...must come to an end. I was a little saddened to find out the previous owners Jean-Luc and Lucette retired already. Our visits to this neighborhood gem are like going to friends' homes for dinner. We are going to really miss their smiles. It is their granddaughter Marie managing the place now. They should be very proud of how she carried on their legacy. On our recent visit, we had soup sampler (French onion soup, carrot soup, potato soup) and oysters as appetizers. All the soups were yummy good and the oysters very fresh. We had the quails and frogs legs as mains. They tasted great and good portions sizes too. My significant other especially liked the zucchini that came with the entrees. We took home our desserts (cheesecake and chocolate truffle cake) and opt for the special strawberry souffle. It is so gooood. The twilight menu also came with salad for less than $40. Specials are extra and our bill came out to around $120 before tax. It is well worth every penny. We also wanted to thank our lady server, too. She was attentive and friendly. Basically has a little "lucette" touch in her. Thank you !!“

“I mean, first and foremost I can’t stop emphasizing how much revitalizing the food is after couple of drinks. The Staff is so friendly and accommodating, Specially mama Rabe, she’ll have you feeling like you’ve just discovered a brand new mom that knows exactly what your stomach need lol. I definitely recommend to check it out.“

“Been to their location in manhattan it was so good that i decided to stop by during a pass through in Bedstuy. I cant get enough of the burgers and wings. They have to open more spots so I can easily get to their food. Definitely looking forward to it again.“
