Drelyse African Restaurant

I just had a really bad experience. I don't know if it was the day or if this is normal and people just are okay with cold dry food or the reviews are by non africans but, To keep this objective I will simply state facts. I ordered grilled tilapia, waychke(beans and rice) and plantain. My total $43. When i called, i asked for no added sugar. Immediately in the background, someone was shouting and i could hear over the phone. I immediately said perhaps i should cancel because im not loving the vibe. The guy on the phone taking the order just said to be understanding because people communicate differently so i kept my order
exactly an hour from the time I hung up the phone, I arrived to pick up my food. The tilapia was dry and lukewarm. The plantains were the same. And so was rice and beans. I immediately called and said I waited a whole hour for this food never got a phone call that it was ready and everything is cold so he said to bring it back and he would warm it for me and I said absolutely not I want fresh food or a refund. I get there she started arguing! I was HORRIFIED that she really told me after charging $43 for rice and beans to warm the food! Who buys $43 worth of food for one meal... (BEANS and RICE at that) just to microwave it like leftovers? Anyway, that was my experience at this place. I hope she uses this as an opportunity for growth but, from the interaction with the owner and her unwillingness to even check the food i returnedr, she is unwilling to accept wrong doing. We AFRICANS like HOT food not microwaved food. Espaecially when we wait a whole hour for the food and are hungry and anticipating. WE Africans are your biggest customer base!

Imagine paying over 30 for a meal that was completely disgusting and had my stomach hurting all night, the owner is mad rude for no reason at all, if your tired retire cause the rudeness she gives off makes the food nasty alone however my food was gross, the new up and coming place to go to is Ms Pats off Cleveland Avenue where everything is made fresh upon ordering. I will never return to this place here again.

Good fufu but service was not friendly

I had been looking for an African restaurant that sells Cassava Leaf, as my sister from Sierra Leone moved to Canada. I found this restaurant and the Cassava Leaf was delicious, and oh so spicy just how I like it. I’ve tried other African restaurants Cassava Leaf and was always so disappointed. So happy that I found this Gem. I’m going to explore to find other dishes that I like in the future. For now. Imma stick with their delicious Cassava Leaf!

Greediness is going to bring your business down, they will up charge you on every item on their menu. I won’t be spending my money here again.

Fantastic service and great food! Our order was prepared quickly, we got fufu with goat soup and banku with tilapia.

Food was absolutely delicious! Well worth the wait.

The best of them ALL!!

The goat stew is amazing. Nice people and good service.

When you order to dine in, nothing is done for you till you arrive and follow the line. Waste of time to order for dine in.
Too congested.
