“Our family traveled to Columbus from Cleveland to celebrate my son's birthday. From the moment we walked in the door, we were welcomed and treated with so much warmth and kindness. The owner was absolutely amazing to us, helping us select our meal, offering to serve us with a large platter instead of individual meals. She even gave my son birthday plantains and a gift. Did I mention that the food was delicious? We will be back. I enthusiastically recommend this restaurant - the food and the people are phenomenal!“

The fufu was delicious but the pasta wasn't good because of cooked with coconut juice and isn't good and very watery in it. I will definitely tell the restaurant for the restaurant. That's my advice. manager to hire professional chief“

“EDITED REVIEW:

I won’t change the stars because I don’t want to bring down the overall rating, but unfortunately I won’t eat here anymore. The change in the chicken leaves much to be desired. Aesthetically, I prefer my chicken in whole discernable pieces - not chopped up into a bunch of nuggets. I am not sure if it tastes the same because the look alone turned me off. My husband ate some and the rest was thrown away. So sad as we really love this restaurant.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:

The food is AMAZING!!! I drive 30 minutes one way and have done so the last three days in a row. I really have no words to describe how delicious it is. I order the Jollof chicken with rice and an extra side of chicken. The chicken marinade/seasonings 😩 — I am hooked! I also get the Egusi soup with yam fufu and an extra order of fufu, along with an order of plantains. I have been eating here for about a year now - when they were at old location. I had just moved to the area and was so happy to have found them. To top it off- the owner is such a sweet lady! She makes you feel like family! Try them, you won’t go anywhere else after you do!“

“I love the Attieke. The flavor is unique but food is pricey(it’s worth it).
Don’t go there if you’re broke lol.
I’ve tried the Attieke with tilapia, banku with pepper and fish and also their fried plantains with lamb shank. They were all delicious….
Can’t wait to go back“

“I stopped at Cleveland and Morse rd Shell station for fuel and saw the sign for SAFINA AFRICAN Food. I ordered the lamb and rice it was served on Basmati long rain rice cooked perfectly. The mix of tender lamb and veggies was Wonderful. They offer Halal meat options too. I will be back to try more delicious choices.“

“I love the sambusa!! I try to stop as often as possible to get them!! Staff is always friendly and establishment is always clean!“

“Ginevra Cafe is a place my wife and I enjoy a lot. I recently visited with friends, and most of us ordered the goat meat, which was truly delicious. One person tried the chicken sandwich, which was just okay, but the goat meat really stood out. We enjoyed our meal and look forward to visiting again. Definitely recommended.“

“i have never tried this cuisine before and it was absolutely amazing! i tried their new egusi soup with fufu and jerk chicken. absolutely delicious and the service was amazing!! i definitely recommend!“

“I went to this Chinese restaurant for over 32 years, and it was the best Chinese food that I've ever ate. I have been to many Chinese restaurants over the years, and the food at this restaurant was never greasy, with the best garlic and pepper spices that I've ever ate. Whether I dined in or purchased takeout, the food quality never changed, and the atmosphere was very classy. I had to move away from that area, but this restaurant always be my favorite one in Columbus, Ohio.“

“Nice place to eat and the employee were really great they keep on checking with if you need anything best best place to go too. But there is guy playing game there are loudly that's only the downside about this place other then that best place.“

“As far as I know, this is the only place in Columbus to get Congolaise food. It's not a restaurant. It's a person's house. If you call the number here on Google you can reach her. She can cook on weekends and you can pick up food to take out. I think the most authentic Congolaise dish is her cassava leaf soup. She also cooks Egusi but that's more Nigerian. It's good food, and great if you like to try new cuisines. I hope she manages to open a restaurant!“

“Came from detroit to visit masjid Asalaama for a lecture with Shaykh Omaisan and he and the masjid recommended this place. The place was very clean and the staff were very nice and courteous the food was excellent and the fish is amazing. Inshallah I will be visiting with my family to let them try it out. Mashallah May Allah bless this place..Ameen“
