African Restaurants near Everett, WA

“Tasty traditional West African dishes. The grilled lamb and chicken were delicious. We'll be coming back again.“

“Ubuntu Meat Bar restaurant is a nice place serving African style food in a small strip mall. It is quite small inside for dining, but we were the only ones sitting in the restaurant and had it all to ourselves. Walking in, the restaurant is decorated well and we were promptly greeted by the server/bartender/cook. You have to look up the restaurant menu on your phone to order, which my family found a little odd, but the sole proprietor was helpful when you rang a bell on the counter to get his attention from the small kitchen; he was always in the kitchen cooking for Uber and take out orders which seemed to be a big part of their business. The menu was quite diverse with dishes we had never seen before. He put bottles of cold water on our table so we could fill our glasses. He also brought us our drinks that we had ordered then went back to the hidden kitchen to cook. It was very quiet inside so we had no problem talking with each other over the two tables we had pushed together as we were a group of five people. It took him a while to start bringing out our appetizers, sides and mains in a staggered fashion as he was the only cook. We were a little disappointed our mains didn't come out at the same time, but we started eating and sharing food anyway. The taste of the food was quite delicious with some unusual flavors of spices we had never had before. We all thought the portion sizes were smaller than what we thought they would be for the high prices and what the pictures on the menu looked like. Overall, we did have a tasty experience with some good conversation and left happy. If you've never had African food, go ahead and give this restaurant a try at least one time.“

“So far I have visited twice and both times were a great experience. The first time it was a bit busy with to-go orders. I ordered the Cow Foot soup which did take quite some time to prepare, but I was taught "good food takes time". Amazing experience! The flavor and spice was so deep and rich at a level I've never had before. The heat was very strong, but I loved it. The service was kind and warm. My second time was jollof rice with lamb. It was early lunch time so it was quiet. The owner's young son was not shy and made me feel like part of the family while I waited for my order. The food was full of flavor and big in portion. The meat was a bit tough, but tasted amazing. 9 out of 10. Looking forward to next time!“
