Foodateria Kenyan & Nigerian Kitchen

This restaurant is located next to my mother's dentist and we decided to give them a try after her appointment. We were greeted by a very nice lady she made us feel like we had known her all our life. We ordered the goat, jolif rice, cabbage, the second order was fish, jolif rice and plantain. Appetizer beef samosa and to drink, soba, (that's probably spelled wrong). We took it to go so that my husband Could enjoy it.I must say everything was wonderful, it wasn't spicy, we are spice sensitive, the food was extremely flavorable, the price is reasonable and the soba was Devine and we had a great experience. I hope to visit again when we are back in the area. You must eat here if you enjoy African cuisine, you will not be disappointed.

It is always a pleasure to be greeted by the Mother of the family. Every time I've come in she has made me feel like family. The food is delicious and freshly made.

Delicious authentic cuisine! I had a Kenyan dish, and my wife had a Nigerian one. Both were excellent, and we will be eating there again.

Recommended dishes: Beef Samosa, Coconut Soup, Jollof Rice \u0026 Plantains, Rice and Stew, Jollof Meal

Lovely people, wish I took a picture of the food. When I go back I'll make sure to add. Very comforting food.

The cook greeted us personally and was just overall very thoughtful and was constantly checking in on how we like the food.

Great range of Nigerian food

Fantastic food and service. Honestly one of the best meals I’ve had in a while. Service was top notch…the gentleman working up front guided me in the right direction with the menu. I’d had Nigerian food before but Kenyan was new to me. Awesome place!

Customer service was great, very friendly and welcoming! The coconut soup was so rich with flavor. The stew and goat was delicious! I also purchased hibiscus tea, and ginger tea both were bold in flavor. I highly recommend and I definitely plan to come back again.

So I went to Foodateria Kitchen again this evening. They specialize in upscale Kenyan & Nigerian cuisine.

Also, they do have 8+ vegan / vegetarian options as well. Ya’ll the place is straight 🔥

The service and food is absolutely exceptional. It’s a must try. It’s where WyCliff’s Kitchen use to be in the northeast side of Columbus.

We went here for lunch on Saturday, and we enjoyed the Kenyan and Nigerian food. We loved being welcomed to the restaurant by Gideon who said, “Welcome to my family’s restaurant.” As we were trying to decide on drinks, he said “I think I got something you will like” and he brought out samples of their house-made hibiscus, ginger, clove, and pineapple concoction that was SO GOOD. He was right. We also tried the samosas, jollof, and suya. The portions were generous and the flavors were perfection. Don’t miss out on this gem!

My husband and I tried for the 1st time. He got the jollof chicken with greens, I got the beef stew with cabbage and jollof rice. Everything was perfection. My only complaint is that we forgot to try their beef somasas. Next time we absolutely will.
