We ordered the Attieke / Snapper Grilled. The presentation was nice, the seasoning on snapper was tasty. We also had the African Garden salad, sorry so picture we ate it too quick, it was enough yo share š¤£. You must visit this place if you are curious about trying African cuisine or craving it. I highly recommend. The decor inside was very nice, however with the weather being so nice we opted to sit on the patio and it was great. Tiffany was our waitress, she was very nice and helpful when we had questions about the menu items. Thanks for making our first time visit memorable.

The food here is good but expensive the service I received today doesnāt match the prices ! called this place before I even arrived to see if they had spinach , she tells me yes , I tell her Iām 2 min away . I arrive thereās no line but the girl is just yapping away on the phone about a future party / order or something. she NEVER acknowledged me , never handed me a menu even after she seen me grabbing menus which were no food items just cocktails I stood there waiting for nearly 10 min with not a peep from Even one staff member so I just walked out and def wonāt be back Iāll keep my $60 ! just ghetto I can only imagine how long it would have took me to actuallyget my food! 8pm on a Wednesday GO HERE AT OWN RISK expensive , SLOW to NO service at all

Iām not one to post a review but this spot did a whole 360. Got rid of so many good people and now the staff there is terrible. Drinks was TERRIBLE! I told her I didnāt like the drink and charged me to fix my drink EVEN WHEN I DIDNT LIKE IT nor did I finish the drink. Hookah was too harsh wasnāt even enjoyable to smoke. Iāve been going here for a while and today will be my last to return. Bunch of little girls that work here and did not apologize for their poor service. 0/10

Iām at a complete loss for words.. this place was AMAZING!! Customer service was top tier. The woman was so attentive and helpful. This was my first time trying African food and it was delicious. Definitely will be returning whenever I am in the area. The music was such a vibe, literally one of my new favorite restaurants! 100/10 I totally recommend
After a long day at the beach the family was starving and we originally made plans for Capri seafood but my daughter saw Afrique and threw us a curve ball to stop here instead. I grew up as a kid in Africa, lived in London, England and now in New England US, and I guess I forgot about āAfrican timeā. It comes when it comes with no sense of urgency. The traffic and finding parking was horrendous but the wait time and overall experience was just as bad if not worse. We ordered the beef skewers after seeing all the images on Google reviews, the okra stew with fufu and peanut butter soup with fufu. 10 mins Later we get told there isnāt any okra stew, So we settle for the goat stew and asked if they can add some extra okra. Another 10 mins go by and We get told there isnāt any goat stew. At this point weāre scared to order in case itās another long wait before being told no!! They assure us they have palm butter soup so we agree to it. People are coming in after us and being served which means they have food that is being re-heated, slapped on a plate and being served. We waited and then some more, and oh.. some more. We can see the waitresses getting mad at the kitchen for the abysmal service. At this point itās been over an hour with literally nothing on the table. I would have served some complimentary yucca fries at this point if it was my customers especially if they had children like I did. Finally the beef kebab came out. Meat was chewy and 3 of the 5 pieces were just tendon and all my kids could do was chew and spit them out. The two soups came out and a small side of okra which was cold and looked like it was scraped from the bottom of some pot. It was absolutely disgusting. The flavor of the soups were okay but as thick as a 3 day old dish. I should knowā¦ I cook these dishes and they thicken over time. In the meantime the music has progressively gotten louder and louder and weāre desperate to get out. There was no chicken in the stews, just smoked turkey and absolutely no vegetables like the menu suggested. The fufu was the only thing palatable and youāve got to be pretty damm bad to mess up something as simple as that. It was the worst, most disappointing decision we made coming here. I was just so grateful that my 5 year old slept through the whole visit and didnāt wake up or else she would have thrown the food across the room, which honestly is what it deserved. I love African food and cook it at home. My Indian family have grown to absolutely love it and to have this happen to them was an absolute shame and disappointment. I could only apologize to my family because we barely got an apology from the service. Never never coming back. Bad service, and bad old, over priced food thatās just plain gross. š¤®

This was an experience like no other. My server niyah, and I did ask how to spell her name cause she deserved recognition, was amazing. She kept us informed and brought us drinks and hookah so fast. The food was delicious and the owner Jerry was a pleasure to speak with as well. The food and service truly was one of a kind I will be back for sure! This is not a fast food experience, everything is fresh and more then worth the wait.
