Nyame Ye African And Caribbean Restaurant

The place has decent food used to Better. It seems they are trying to teach their daughter to run the business which is understandable, the problem is the daughter is rude. I’ve been going there for years but after my encounter with the daughter I may never come back! I started to check her right there but I didn’t even have the strength to argue. When they say poor customer service believe them bc it’s no lie. The son was nice one time I went but on this visit the daughter is rude! She doesnt want to be there! Also I called in my Oder 30 mins before I arrived and still had to weight like 25 mins. I’ll prob never go back cause I don’t have time for that kinda stuff when I’m spending my hard earned money! Idk who these ppl think they are we have a million places to choose from such as Rahama which is right up the street from them and one of the best being calabash off Van Dorn. So these folks need to get a hold of themselves. Cause times are too hard to think anyone had to spend their money with you….in this economy if you want to last you better check yourself!

Never again. I have given them multiple chances because of Uber Eats and there has been some sort of issue each time. Last time we ordered, we ordered jollof rice for my husband and I ordered banku with Tilapia. My husband was unable eat his jollof. Every time we have ordered waakye, the meat has been missing except the fish. Today, we ordered waakye for my husband and tuo zaafi for me…YALL! When I tell you the soup for the tuo zaafi made no sense…! I thought they accidentally added the wrong soup so I called and the lady had an attitude. On top of that, today too, my husbands waakye came with NO meat! Just fish. Even though when I called, she claimed they gave us other meat. They DID NOT. My husband just confirmed that today’s only came with fish! I’m from Ghana and so I would never speak negatively on a Ghanaian restaurant regardless but the attitude that lady gave me on the phone when I called about the soup was absolutely unacceptable! Y’all look at this soup that I attached to this review and tell me…WHEN have yall as Ghanains seen this soup being used to eat Tuo zaafi? Does this look like any type of ayoyo soup to anyone?!

This restaurant is the worst place to ever order . Literally everyone there lack common sense and manners. I placed an order, a guy contacted me through the uber rider that they didn’t have my food even though he accepted it. I told him I wanted my omo Tuo with palm nut soup which I ordered. He offered pea nut or light soup I told him no. He then asked me to cancel which I did . I was charged and uber said they can’t refund me so I contacted them again and lady told me to call them the following day because they will have my meal available which I did. One arrogant woman picked and started going off on me. She didn’t even offer any solution. Didn’t apologize for the inconvenience.

Poor customer service, was told my order of boiled yam will take 25 mins, got there 30mins later only to be told the yam still needs more time to cook. He was quick to tell want to cancel the order and I guess the order was not even getting prepared to begin with.

Out of all the options in this area, this is one of the best restaurants around! Quaint, good people and delicious food. You will leave stuffed.

Home away from home.

It's a nice place to get the food you cherish. Great atmosphere

Authentic and the best Jollof rice I’ve ever had. The food is freshly made, huge portion that perfect for sharing! Can’t wait to come back to try different dishes!

The groundnut soup is delicious. Jollof and Waakye were also great! The woman has a sweet spirit and her husband is very kind. They are excellent hosts!

Went to try this restaurant. The food was tasteless. The meat tasted funny. Moments after I left the place, I had to pull over in traffic and vomited EVERYTHING out.

I immediately called the restaurant to advise them not to sell that particular food (peanut butter soup with rice) to anyone else JUST THAT NIGHT cos something is wrong with it. They were very dismissive to my plight.

This is the FIRST TIME in my adult life that I had to puke out a meal I ingested that quick. I was petrified. PLEASE take precaution when patronizing this restaurant.

The Peanut butter soup is YUM and he even got me to try a millet drink, and IT was yum too!!! Different, definitely, but YUMMY!!! Also great prices!! I drove all the way from N Arlington just to get his food.

This establishment is a family affair, and the food has much love, and soul cooked into it. I always enjoy my experience with the owner, his wife, and daughter who are always so kind, and hospitable with everyone. There are always many repeat customers, because the food is fresh, they cook it when you order it, so be patient, and ready to wait a good 30 to 40 mins. I've been eating here for the past six years, and there has only been one time I've not enjoyed a dish (goat pepper soup, smelled very funky, couldn't get passed the smell). Palaver, Jolof, Fried Fish or Chicken, Gizzards, Banku, Fudu, Egusi, Red Red, the list goes on with all my favorites, and I recommend these dishes.
My only negative comment about this place it the look of cleanliness, as the ambiance is dusty, and worn, with old table Cloths and decor, half of which is falling apart. Although it has nothing to do with the food, the restaurant should reflect the warm and caring attitude of the owners, and would have a more inviting appeal for new customers, who might not give it a try, just because of its outward appearance.

Wow wow wow! The food is very flavorable and extremely delicious. I've eaten their Jellof rice with chicken 3 times and was satisfied every time. They also give you a very large portion. I will be trying the curry chicken and Red Red next time. This place isa hidden treasure . Give them a try. It's also clean with great customer service
