This is a must go to restaurant in Columbus! It’s been a while since I’ve had a meal this good. Definitely have the sambusas, curry, and chapati. The drinks were very fresh tasting!

Riziki’s is one of our all time favorite places to eat! Riziki is the owner and she is literally a gem! Lovely African music and aromas too that’ll leave you daydreaming for more once you leave. We’ll definitely be back!

3rd Party delivery person here. As soon as I walked in, atmosphere was great. Order was quick and the woman offered me a sample. The bread was the softest I have had in quite sometime. Needed a bit more sugar. But overall was amazing the way I was treated when walking in

First and foremost, I discovered Riziki through tiktok. The video made everything look so good.
And having now gotten to try it, easily 10/10

I had chapati with goat curry, my husband had Zanzibar special, and we both had a couple of beef sambusas.
Starting with the sambusa.
The crunch followed by the flavor was just amazing. I could eat 10 of them if left alone.

My chapati was an absolute experience. I've never had a flat bread like that before. And the way it went so well with the goat curry. I highly *highly* recommend this.

My husband said his Zanzibar special tastes like home. It reminded him of food his grandmother would make for him.

The woman who served us was also so pleasant. She was friendly and had a wonderful energy.

Overall, I definitely see us coming back here. Nothing beats a restaurant that serves amazing flavor.

Came here for dinner on a week day with my husband. Let’s get into it.

1. The owner came out to greet us, brought us one of our items and checked in on us! She’s SO kind!

2. Our server— phenomenal! So kind also! Made amazing recommendations, taught us how to pronounce the food names and answered every question we had. She made us phenomenal drinks! (no alch).

3. The music is a vibe! The restaurant is clean! And the food is out of this world!

Here’s what we got: (Pics included). If you haven’t been, get here and then keep coming back! These are the kinds of restaurants we need and want to see more of.

Thank you!! ❤️❤️
