West African Restaurants near Collingdale, PA

“I was passing by this place on my not usual way home from work when I decided to stop and try Nigerian food for the first time. And I’m glad I did!

First the food. Delicious! I have a feeling most people come in already knowing what they want or at least speak Yoruba. The menu does not have any descriptions, but there are a few pictures on the wall to help. Since this was my first time having Nigerian food, I asked them to choose for me, only telling them “no fish or rice” and that “I like meat and vegetables”. Was rewarded with a healthy portion of efo riru (Nigerian spinach stew) with added meat (cubes of stewed beef) and a softball sized portion of hot fufu. Cost $17 and I was stuffed.

Although they gave me utensils, I ate it traditionally with my hands scooping the stew together with the fufu. The stew was really good! Very flavorful and not overly spicy. There was plenty of vegetables and was cooked just right. If I had to offer a suggestion - the added meat could have been smaller and in more even pieces. But it’s very small complaint.

Service: was good! My
Meal was ready quickly and was packed up securely with napkins and utensils.

Atmosphere : There are three or so booths to eat at, with lots of napkins and salt shakers, but it’s really a take it to go place - a “hole in the wall” neighborhood place where your money is going to the food, not the decor. I ate in because I live more than 40 minutes away and was starving.

There is a handwashing station so you can wash your hands before and after eating. Also got to watch some news on the large screen tv.

Value : $17 dollars and I was happily stuffed. I could have made into two meals but was very hungry. I ordered a Second portion to take home. 100% Would go back!“

“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“

“Yummy delicious beautiful atmosphere friendly emplease yummy tell your Tommy“

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

“Even after they changed locations (right next door) Food prices are reasonable considering the size of their dishes. I love their lamb and rice platters, for $22 depending on who you are you'll have enough food to feed yourself and others if you want. Great place for something to eat that's not your everyday fast food..“

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

“I love this place. If you are ever in philly you must try this Ghanian spot! If you like spicy this is the place. If you like rice get the jollof! My favorite is light soup with fufu. The peanut litter soup is bomb! Matter fact just eat everything. Only come if you have time to enjoy. Service is not typical of most American dinner time standards. Call ahead to ensure they are open that weekend! I wish they delivered via an app. But still worth going for the experience.“

“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%“

“I’ve been going to Jds for 5 years and once you try it you will never like any other cassava leaf and it always tastes the same ! Cooked with love and my son loves it !! It was the first thing he requested for his birthday we dont live close and it is always worth the drive !!!! TEAM JDS!!!!“

“One of the best African food I had in Philadelphia Mashallah Shout out to Bocar he is the best“

“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!“
