African Restaurants near Arlington, TX

“I was looking nearby Somali food so I gave this place a try and was impressed. The Italo-African history of Somalia really came through with the Spaghetti and Goat. The serving was a good size and very filling. The service was great and the staff were authentically friendly. This place is both a store and a restaurant so walk to the back of you are there to eat. I will be again, soon.“

“The place was neat. Food was very good, tasty, and delicious. We had Jollof rice and chicken, it was really smoky and felt like the one that was made at a Nigerian local party. We also had Afang soup, and Abula (Amala, ewedu, and gbegiri), both of them were banging.“

“Hands down the best African dining experience I’ve ever had!
From the moment we walked in, the warmth hit us like a Lagos breeze. The lady that received us was so kind and helped us with our order, explaining every dish. The owner (I’m assuming the legendary Chef Temii herself) greeted us with the biggest smile and treated us like family returning home after years away. That level of genuine hospitality is rare these days.
Now, the food… oh my goodness. Where do I even start?
• The jollof rice is straight-up sorcery: smoky, perfectly spiced, with that irresistible bottom crust (pot of gold). I could eat buckets of it.
• Egusi soup with pounded yam? Life-changing. Rich, nutty, packed with flavor, and the pounded yam was silky-smooth, like it was made by angels.
• We also tried the puff-puff for dessert and they came out piping hot, fluffy inside, crisp outside, dusted with just the right amount of sugar. I almost ordered a second plate to take home.
Portions are incredibly generous, everything tastes fresh and homemade, and you can feel the love in every bite.
If you’ve never had West African food before, this is the place to start. If you grew up on it, this will transport you straight back to Mama’s kitchen (maybe even better). Chef Temii is a treasure, the staff are absolute sweethearts, and the vibes are immaculate.
I’m already planning my next visit… and the one after that. Run, don’t walk!
10/10 – Chef Temii has my heart (and my stomach) forever. ❤️🇳🇬“

“Great food but the person that is the head of operations has an attitude issue and has a very poor customer relation problem the staff are friendly but the man that owns the business need not to involve in the services operations but just be in the administrative dept .because he lacks business customers ethics.“

“Incredible Story to read on this couple. If you go in for barbecue get there early plan ahead this place is sold out in less than an hour. That’s an incredible thing to happen.“
