African Restaurants near Upper Darby, PA

“I went to Divine Time on Feb 14 and order jollof rice, fried fish, fish stew. egusi, amala and moin moin. Divine Time actually gifted the moin moin to me! I have to say the food was flavorful and served a reasonable amount for the price. I didn't exactly get to taste my amala, when I got home it was pounded yam instead of Amala, maybe next time. However, the Egusi was extremely tasted, my only nit pick I would say is I wish the meat and ponmo were fried either way it was flavorful also the fried Tilapia was a bit over seasoned with salt but the fried fish stew was amazing. The owner of Divine Time was extremely friendly and playful which is a great attitude to have especially for new customers like me.
I will certainly be back for more tasty foods!“

“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?“

“It is very seldom that I leave a review or comment but IT WOULD BE SELFISH OF ME TO NOT SHARE THIS GOOD OL’ FOOD. The soul food is bomb, I had the Cheese steak rolls, Cabbage, and butter corn) and the African food was just how I like it , a little spice but not to much to were I couldn’t not enjoy it (Potato Greens and Rice). If you are in the 69th street, Darby, south west area and have not tried JC Afrosoul food, then Please get there now !!!! S/o to the owner Christina and her Husband for showing me of the top female djs some love @DjDiorCartel !!! I will be back .“

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.“

“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.“

“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 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.

“Food critic here! Let me give you the Real Real about Prime 😉. I will write about one of my orders; Rasta Pasta with charred grilled shrimp. I had a pleasant experience. I’m originally from the UK, and it’s worth noting that historically African dining style restaurants are fairly rare in Philadelphia. If you’re looking for oversized portions typical of a traditional African restaurant, this isn’t that and it’s not advertised to be.
*Disclaimer* parking is hard to find, in the area its close to the downtown area so Uber to avoid the stress.

Prime Fusion is a smaller establishment, so the bar selection is more limited than what you’d find at larger venues. That said, it has the essentials especially when it comes to tequila.

Service was excellent. I came on a Wednesday night there was no wait. Look I dont need my waiter to do backflips to keep us entertained 😂. I came here to EAT! Hey im a jester myself so ill make a jokes. Our server introduced herself, gave us ample time to review the menu, we had bottled waters, she answered questions clearly, and remained attentive throughout the evening. The drinks were a 10/10.

A little love in the food might go a long way. Still, the music was good, prices were fair for dining out, and the overall vibe was enjoyable. I’d definitely return to see how the kitchen continues to improve.“

“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.“

“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..“

“The food is very good. I've had different dishes different times of the year. They serve many African dishes, a few American dishes, they're all very good. You may have to use cash if no one's available to accept your debit card. It's easy accessible by car and by public transportation.

Parking: It's located on busy 52nd Street. There's street parking, also parking at the kiosk. There's also parking on the side streets.“

“The drinks are good. nice atmosphere and great food“
