African Restaurants near Bala Cynwyd, PA

“The chicken suya bowl is good. Had to ask for extra chicken they are skimpy on meat.“

“Guys run over here to rust me when I say the food is awesome ��thei r turburghee and pepper soup on point if u love hot pepper ask them“

“Hi, my review is mixed. I loved the jollof rice, the cornbread. The chicken was ok. However I ordered it with cabbage, and it was RAW. I called them when I opened it & that's how they serve it. I recommend they make ppl aware that its served raw. I would go back but I would ask questions no longer assuming that all food is cooked. Lol“

“The food is always delicious. Make sure you take cash, no cards accepted. Enjoy!“

“I had efo elegusi, & jollof. Everything was delicious but the elegusi i was especially impressed with. I’ve tasted several Nigerian shops in philly, this has been the best elegusi;perfect balance of heat and flavor! Beautiful meal presentation, kind service, clean stylish space!“

“Jammie’s Catered Elwyn Day 2023 - Everything I had was yummy ? You had to be fast though because once word got out the line was loooong LOL“

“It's best to call in first and pick up your order. This place gets packed but you'll never know because most orders are done by phone.
Portions are hefty. It's family run and owned. The customer service is excellent, they make all their customers feel like family. ♥️
All the dishes are excellent.“

“palava sauce is incredibly delicious“

“I stopped in because I found the restaurant on Phillyblackowned.com, a map for black owned businesses in Philly. I'm so happy that I found this business. The owner is very friendly, made me feel welcomed, and the food is delicious. I ordered the lamb with rice, and it was so tasty, I had to share my experience. I'll definitely be back.“

“Aunty K’s fried rice and mackerel were really good! You can taste the pepper and it was a lot of food. To my pleasant surprise it came with fried sweet plantains and a very spicy pepper sauce (use with caution). The lady at the counter was polite and i waited and watched their tv as they prepared my food.“

“Try it and you will keep coming back for more. The best in Philly.“

“Delicious, hardy and tasty. A bit spicy too. Didn't know what to do with the fufu (cassava) and they were so nice explaining it all. The eggplant stew had lots of meat. I swapped it for fish. They have us free plantains too. Really great meal and wonderfulllll.“

“My review is focused on the food and food alone. I get the same thing every time! Jollof rice and goat meat and it hits EVERYTIME! I know good food and I love this particular meal from them.“

“My first time eating here . Love the decor very small restaurant only one person to server and cook. The soup with fufu was flavorful , and spicy like I love. Big portions for the price. That was the plus of the restaurant The problem was that they were out of quite a few things I wanted to order with my meal. And I told my family to come purchase some food from here. They told me they order the chicken dinner and didn't get the other items that were supposed to be included with the chicken dinner. But they were still charging the same price instead of at a discount price because it wasn't a full meal as advertised. Now they are upset with me for suggesting this restaurant that cheated them. I'm appalled at why they did that?“

“First time eating at an Ethiopian cuisine, was not what I was expecting. The food was delicious and the service was fantastic. Definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone. In fact I also bought the spices to add to my cooking.“

“palava sauce is incredibly delicious“

“I was in PA and wanted some authentic Nigerian food. I found this resturant and decided to give it a try the food was great very flavorful and great portions. Price was also reasonable plenty parking. I would most definitely say if you are in the area to stop by and give it a try! The resturant is on the second floor inside SA Cafe!“

“The location is pretty basic but clean and comfortable. The ladies are very sweet and kind. My food has always been good, except the one time I ordered it on doordash. Otherwise, I get the lamb, plantains, and Jollof rice. Also, the potatoe greens are good. Wish they had a seafood one, but they make do.“

“Im Ghanaian and was confused when I seen Nigerian rice but still ordered waakye, goat , and stew fried fish. It was really good & im picky. Very fresh compared to others I’ve tried in Philly. & you know as Africans we hate ordering others food but it was really good, & spicy enough. Beef pie was okay but everything else was great.“

“The food was great!!! I recommend this place for anyone who wants African food. Or wants to taste African food for the first time. I am stuffed. I'm going to take a nap now“

“This place????? It was my first time to order with them and trust me when I say this is the best restaurant if you’re looking for fufu with soup especially the EGUSSI soup 😩😩. The portion is amazing and the taste I can’t describe it!“

“My absolute favorite "Go to place" for some Dibi and Plantain. Delicious and mouth watering onion sauce, Lamb is grilled to perfection, with the tantalizing sweetness of the plantain that just melts away in your mouth. I am a reliable customer and approve of them being one of the best African restaurants I know who never disappoints, especially when it comes down to consistency and good taste.Their unique touch on this particular dish is a 10 out of 10.Their speciality and best seller is the Dibi and Plantain I can assure you of that.I recommend and support this business 100%“

“Ahh-mazing! Authentic African cuisine and everyone was soo welcoming. Traveled from Chestertown, MD and it was well worth it!“
