West African Restaurants in Houston, TX

“one fine joint for African cuisine., took my friends to this joint for Nigerian dish, great food, good pricing and awesome customer service. will definitely be back.“

“Although this place is nestled away, it is awesomely, overwhelming, and flavors and hospitality! I was treated with a visit to this awesome restaurant by my family as I celebrated my 60th birthday this year. Upon arriving to this place, I had read reviews. The reviews were pretty good. As soon as we stepped through the door, we felt like family. It’s as though we showed up to our family‘s house and were sitting and waiting on the freshest, most amazingly prepared meal ever! The food was absolutely amazing. The meat pies, the food, the stews, the soups, the drinks, and rice dishes were extraordinarily delicious. Although we live over 200 miles away, this is a place that is worth the drive. If you are ever in Houston, passing through Houston, or like myself, you live far away, you will be glad to experience such culinary exquisiteness!“

“woua waou. This restaurant took me back 🏡. y'all going to see a lot of me 🤝“

“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!“

“A friend recommended komchop. I had a good time. Nice food, neat place!“

“If you want to taste the VERY best of Houston, this is it! We ordered 3 different bowls and each one blew us away with depth of flavor, intense yummyness created with authenticity and uniqueness unlike anything else in this city! We will be back, often, as i feel the entire menu needs exploring. Wait staff were incredible which just put the icing on the cake. Thank you!“

“Great food. Excellent service. Thoroughly enjoyed my lunch here“

“Best of The Best! Taste of best African Cuisine in a serene environment. Love it....recommend to ALL!“

“Been here several times over the years. The food has been consistently good and the lychee martini is always delicious. A nice variety of sushi rolls. We had the Black Widow which was my favorite. The service was poor. There were only 4 other tables and plenty of waiters/waitresses. Ours didn't put our drink order in until we asked the hostess. He didn't come by to take the order. The hostess took our order and forgot one of the sides after repeating it more than once to her. Waiter really acted like he didn't give a flip to be working. What was supposed to be a nice evening for us wasn't all that great at The Fish because the waiter's attitude and being inattentive. Likely won't return on my own dime.“

“Delicious fresh and hot food, exceptional service, and a comfortable atmosphere to enjoy the Nigerian delicacies served here.

I found myself in an area in Houston far from the airport and looked up "Nigerian restaurants near me". Omalicha Kitchen popped up with great reviews so I went, and let me tell you, I ate till I couldn't breathe. We ordered smoky party jollof rice with assorted meat and spinach, nkwobi (extra spicy), and egusi (assorted meat) with pounded yam. Everything was very tasty. The vibes definitely reminded me of home and everyone was pleasant and attentive - they checked in on us to confirm we were good and had no issues. Too bad I'm just visiting from out of state or I would be a frequent patron. Highly recommend!“

“Amazing food, service and conversation. The oxtails were tender, delicious, and the best ever. My coworkers and I came after work and definitely will return!!!“

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

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

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

“I took my father-in-law to the restaurant to try their Fisherman Soup for sentimental reasons and the soup didn't disappoint. My son had their vegetable soup and both were top level. I tasted some of my son's soup and I can tell you it was the best vegetable soup I've had. We tried their Nkowbi and it didn't disappoint. Everything tasted like your grandma's village cooking. If you go, call then ahead of time because they prepare everything from scratch.“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

“Neat, Clean, Cameroon Music and the FOOOOOD 😋😋😋 Stop by you will enjoy each dollar invested 🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!!❤❤“

“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.“

“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!“
