Had the peanut butter soup with fufu and it was GOOD. The star however was Jollof with Lamb. It seems expensive, but it comes in a half pan, enough for 3 maybe people!

Food was excellent and I ordered it for six other people and they all had the same opinion. Service was very kind and polite but food was amazing.

I cannot count how many times I’ve eaten here! It’s not a fancy place but the food is so delicious! I came into the store Sunday to order my usual jollof rice and lamb and saw that the restaurant was redecorated and appeared more inviting and warm. I was told that they are under new management. That was a pleasant surprise. I went home to enjoy my meal. It did not disappoint, in fact I was blessed with a lovely surprise of plantain which is new. I ordered jollof rice and lamb and almost yelled out when I saw the plantain they added! I’m Nigerian and I eat spicy saw, but that spicy sauce is so intense and almost inedible! Everything is good and so flavorful.

i ordered the egusi and fufu from grubhub. they add a lot of meat and the food was delicious. Aside from the extra oil, my stomach has been aching for hours. I almost thought I had food poisoning and i’ve been on the toilet since i’ve ate it. My stomach has been hurting since yesterday and i’m in pain. just be careful if you have a sensitive stomach.

This was my first experience with egusi soup and fufu. My granddaughter and I tried it from Soul of Africa restaurant and we were not disappointed. It was spicy but very tasty. We will be going back to try other Nigerian dishes.

I’m highly disappointed in Soul of Africa I order here ALL THE TIME & get red oil potato’s greens , I ordered thru Uber eats and when I received my food, I realized they have me cassava leaf instead of potato greens and I paid $27 ! I called but the line was busy & then I finally got thru , explained my issue and had ask if they were out of potato greens and was told “no” & “hold on , I’m going to see if my mom can fix this issue” was on hold for less than a minute then was hung up on ! Tried calling back and now the line is busy again! Lucky I was able to get my money back thru Uber eats but i will not be eating here for awhile

first time trying this place out and was very disappointed. I ordered the Seafood Palmbutter and asked if it was all seafood and no meat, I was told no meat, just seafood. I asked the question because my husband is a pescatarian. I got home and low and behold there was a huge piece of chicken in the Seafood Palmbutter. When I called I received excuses about how they just took over the restaurant and all though it says seafood they put chicken in it. Very misleading menu. I asked for a refund on my card and I was told I would get a call back to get the refund. It’s 2 weeks later and no call back! No refund! I am highly disappointed in the lack of integrity with this business! They will not be getting any more business from me!
