African Restaurants near Union, NJ

“I’m from NY and recently moved to NJ. Where I live in NJ there’s not much African stores so I normally just go to NY when I need something. Today I was in the union area to pick up something from Lowe’s and decided to looked up African stores near me and came across this store. The store is neat, clean, and very organized. There’s a broad selection and was able to find what I was looking for. Also they provided excellent customer service.“

“As a Naija love love my Ghanaian cooking but there is one problem - garden city will test your patience with waiting time. Called union shop 10 times no pick up. Yelp said they open at 10am. I gave dem 2hrs 15min. Drove to the Union restaurant at 12:15. The door was lock. God help us. Call!!!!! For another 5 times no answer. Had to take my money somewhere else.“

“Delicious food and friendly service. They also have a grocery store.“

“I’ve only visited Abuja twice for take out, specifically jollof rice and goat. Let me tell you, I love goat meat and “Abuja” gets it. The food has a perfect balance of African spices and texture. I find the atmosphere perfect for watching sports and/or a casual drinking, so im looking forward to making time to actually go back and enjoy the full dining experience. I took the liberty of taking some pics on my last visit. Just me being me. ?“

“The best decision I made was to order the half chicken instead of the quarter. Cooked fresh to order, bursting with flavor and a healthy meal what more could you want. Know before you go - the restaurant doesn’t look like much and because the food is cooked to order call ahead or be prepared to wait 20 minutes.Absolutely recommend for something different, delicious and affordable. Will be back soon!“

“Wonderful experience. We had no idea what to order, so Modupe (the owner) surprised us. I only wish I could have eaten more! My daughter who can be picky was so happy with her shrimp and fries that she drew Modupe a picture. Highly recommend!!“

“Fantastic food, good service. I highly recommend this place.“

“Went for Taco Tuesday, everything was phenomenal. The Shrimp tacos were fried perfectly the chicken tacos were flavorful and each one had a signature sauce. The ambience was real chill with a great music playlist. Will definitely be back soon“

“I moved to Union, NJ from NYC (Harlem to be exact) and where I’m from there’s a variety of African food that’s so delicious so I was praying that my food would be the same. Thank you so much to the Chef, my Egusi with Fish and pounded Yam was so delicious! I will definitely be ordering from you guys again. Thank You, Thank You and Thank You???“

“If you are a fan of Nandos you will like this place! Dont get me wrong, it's not as good but if you want to save yourself the drive to DC. This is a great option. The fries were out of this world! Ask them to put the seasoned salt on them. The chicken had great flavor but i wish it wasn't just a sauce they put on top vs marinating it with it. The other thing that i noticed is you have to buy majority of the menu items separately, which i didn't like too much.“
