We typically eat from Nigerian restaurants , so this was our first time trying Ghanaian cooking. We ordered Egusi soup and meat pies , the service was quick and kind. We will definitely be back to try more of their menu items. Highly recommend“

I became a big fan after trying their food the first time. We came all the way from Austin the second time and would be coming again. We wish we could take them to Austin with us! Amazing food, wonderful service - simply the best! The flavor is remarkable! I can keep going - what an amazing experience!!“

“Daughter (12 yo) chose Aria Suya kitchen. Great experience with real African food. Tasty, fresh food. Nice atmosphere.“

“The customer service was exceptional. I really enjoyed the fact that the person preparing the food went above and beyond to make sure I was happy before I left. She even gave me new food to try and a bottle of water before I left because it was my first time eating fufu and egusi. I will be back because at was treated kindly.“

“I enjoyed my meal, baked tilapia with stew, jollof rice, spinach, hen, coke & water, very delicious“

“So i tried this place today. I am a sucker for a good customer service no matter who walk through your door(money is money). When I walked in the hostess was kinda cold so my first thought was another Nigeria place with attitude but I was determined to try it anyways, when the cook came out(I think she might be the owner) her attitude and presence was warm and friendly so needless to say I will be going back. As for the food.....Taste= 4/5 Portion= 5/5 cleanliness= 5/5 Customer service = 3/5“

“I was in Houston for a wedding with my husband a couple of weeks ago and was so excited to find a Nigerian restaurant close to our hotel—Nativeport did not disappoint! From our very first order, the experience was nothing short of amazing, and it stayed that way for the four days we kept going back.

The owner was professional, dedicated, and most importantly, can seriously cook! I fell in love with food all over again. Everything we tried was authentic and delicious. I even ordered extra food to take back home to California, and she kindly froze everything to make sure it would travel well on my flight.

P.S. My last meal before flying out? Fried rice, plantain, and peppered goat meat—perfection!“

“I’ve been eating Crave for months lol like weekly lol don’t judge me
But it’s amazing from the crave bowl to shwarma wraps
Shrimp is soft and grilled to perfection
Lamb is soft and seasoned and rice ahhhh lol send me to heaven anyways get you some“

“Great taste of Real African food“

“I stopped by this cozy African restaurant known for its succulent and finger-licking fish, soya, and alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages to spend quality time with my wife - Madame Chief, and friends.

We had a swell time and shall stop by on our next visit to Houston, TX.

You, too, are invited to discover the milieu and have a fun time that you shall forever remember.“

“I believe this is the place to be if you want to get the real african home taste. My first time experience was above expectation. I don't normally like egusi outside, but this exceeded by expectation

Parking: Very accessible and huge parking“

“Was out and about with the family and we decided to stop by and grab some dinner . We ordered a variety of dishes :dibi lamb/ plantains and vermicelli , shawarma, 5 nems or egg rolls ,dibi chicken served with Fries which was one of the best chicken I have ever eaten . Meat was tender and marinade was on point !!!!!! We also enjoyed all three drinks however the ginger was our favorite . We will definitely come back and refer friends because it's a hidden gem in Houston and more people need to taste that Senegalese goodness Ps: thanks for the maad, awesome threat!!!!!“

“Food was Absolutely Delicious, fresh and Hot ! Service was Friendly. Meat was juicy and Tender!!“

“5 stars because this is the best food I’ve ever had. I frequently get the egusi soup with catfish and poundo. I could eat it every day! The only thing I don’t like is the unnecessary teasing and small talk that some of the male cashiers try to have with me mostly because I’m introverted so i really appreciate when the younger female cashier is there. Her service is quick, friendly and efficient.“

“It was a very great experience at Olachi's Place,The enviroment was well in order,The service was prompt with smiles from the attendants,The food was so delicious.I ate okro-ugba,it was just home made.As a customer i must say i was satisfied and would always recommend Olachi's Place to anyone craving for home made food.“

“Fantastic food! Owner (Blessing N.) was very welcoming, explained everything, made accommodations for our vegetarian diet and served up a delicious and filling lunch plate. Thank you! We will be back!“

“Good African food Nice private ambience“

“I love their okra soup and fufu. I can’t get enough of it“

“Food is super delicious and Freshly made never a dull moment were I don't enjoy the food. Espically Jollof Rice, best spot ever“

“From the moment we walked in the front door, even though it was busy, the gentleman who greeted us provided superb customer service. He made sure we were seated exactly where we wanted, brought water to the table promptly, and still managed to attend to other guests efficiently ….that alone was impressive. We actually drove an hour and 30 minutes to get there. While we were on the road, I kept saying, “I’m never driving this far again!” ..but I really wanted to try the food. And let me tell you, it was well worth the drive. When the food arrived, it was beautifully presented and piping hot. Even the powdered yam was wrapped neatly in what I believe was a palm leaf ….a nice touch. I ordered the seafood okra and egusi with assorted meat, and every bite was undeniably delicious. As someone who has eaten a lot of Nigerian food …especially for an American girl…I can confidently say this is by far one of the best experiences I’ve had. I’ll definitely be making that drive again before my summer vacation is over!“

“Royal Point has mastered the art of preparing grilled fish, suya, fried rice, and grilled chicken to five-star perfection. With every visit, I'm treated to a culinary experience that exceeds my expectations and keeps me coming back for more.“

“We order the Chicken+Beef Shawarma about 3-4 times a week, and it tastes amazing 90 percent of the times. I just wish the size and sauce could be a little more consistent. Nonetheless, we still order it almost every other day because when made good, no other shawarma places come close to this taste.“

“I have had their food several times before via online order, today was my first time coming in. They’re located within a food hall, and you place orders on a touch screen. The food is good, however, I wish they had someone who is available to answer the phone about catering orders.“

“Great customer service from everyone I encountered (2 men), they were friendly and one of the Guy explained the entire menu since I wasn’t familiar with anything on the menu. I went with the J luv And it was 10 out of 10!! Very good food and customer service was great. I will definitely be returning“

“I was craving shawarma even though i never had it before and decided to do the one hour drive to their location and they did not disappoint! 10/10 everything was delicious . The wait was a bit long but it was worth it. Next time I'll probably order ahead“

“I have ordered here a few times and food has always been good. Timing might not always be right (sometimes, it is very off) but the people have always been pleasant. However, I can understand how they can make customers upset because even when running late on orders, they address customers like they are nonchalantly telling their family/friends that dinner will be a little late. The pace of the cutomer service lady is also really slow! These can be upsetting to a paying customer who is on a time crunch.

I am not keen on their barbecue chicken nor their French fries but everything else I have tried so far, I like. We usually get the spring rolls, samosa, puff puff, mosa, and whole grilled fish. I really like their asun but think it is over-priced, so I pretty much leave that alone.

A dining lounge has been added to the business and looks like it would be a good place to bring family/friends, and even hold business meetings but I haven't used it, so I cannot review that part of their business. However, I do hope they make whatever they decide to show on the TV screens family friendly, especially the music as we were once very uncomfortable with the music videos playing in their pickup area as they were not children friendly at all!“

“United sister's restaurant is a very nice restaurant, a wonderful place to be.. they have good food, good customers service. their quality of food is out of this world and a trial will convince you... if you need tasteful food go to United sisters!!!❤❤“

“1st time here love the food first time fufu man I love it the help was Amazing“

“My African people please great me with a smile when I walk in. I was visiting from Minnesota but since we don't have many african restaurants. I wanted to try some egusi in a place with more of an African community. Well I must say come to Minnesota and try Value Foods Africa Deli in
Brooklyn Center - I'm sorry to say it is so much better.
I would come back maybe I will try something else.
And please work on the menu - it is confusing - does the egusi come by itself or with rice (is it part of the meal or not?)
The fish please get rid of that sauce on top of it - just give me a fried or grilled on suya seasoning or something.
Lots of parking and clean bathroom“

“These reviews are incorrect. Those customers are rude with the people who work there. They don't know what they want and People are waiting in tables and in lines and people on the front not considerate arguing and complaining . Some customers don't want to talk to the waiters. There sre no waitress. There is a cleaning lady they treat like a maid“
