Waited for 1 hour. Paid about $23 dollars for small container suya. You could go to a Jamacian resteraunt nearby and get rice and peas with oxtail for $22.... Taste was ok some of the meat was smoky. Meat was cheaper cuts. Very hard to chew for this price. One piece was just fat that I could not eat. Overall just overpriced small portions.

The service is fine, some people just don't know how to handle bluntness. The food is good but not great, but mainly due to the oil. I know it's a critical part of this cuisine but like with Indian food, I expected a move away from heavy oil to allow the spices to enhance the flavor. That being said yes the jollof rice is good (I don't know about the best). The meats are tender there is no doubt. Just be aware you'll need a carbonated drink to unstick the oil while you eat.

I’ve been wanting to try Cafe Rue Dix for a a while. This was my first time there. Decor was chic, thoughtful and minimal. Our server was kind and attentive. I was hoping to order their baobab juice, but they sold out. Their Thiebou Jen was suuuuper yummy, hardy and is especially perfect comfort for this freezing NYC weather. Would absolutely return.

They gave absolutely no meat, everything was bone and fat. Extremely disappointed. Spices were great but this was disrespectful. You know how frustrating that is to see when you get home hungry thinking you’re about to tear it up? Tear what up? Spent 43$ on the thought of dinner. The other plate was 98% rice. I thought this was going to be so much better based on the rating. Don’t be fooled. They were really nice though so they have that going for them.

Tried Ethiopian food for the first time here and was blown away. I was in town and wanted to see the Jazz performance of Julia Danielle (amazing btw highly recommend) and met some friends for a nice, relaxed Sunday evening. We got a mix of sambusas which I highly recommend. They were so good and always brought out fast. The main dishes took more time, but were amazing. We shared a mix of food. The bread was so spongy and perfect for the mix of flavors. Injera is a must while here!

My man and I visited this restaurant last night and it was dumb good. Shout out to Senegal for real. The food was vibrant and fresh, it was all around comfort food. I had Dibi Chicken and he has Dibi lamb. The portions are beyond generous, dont forget to tip generously too. Shout out to my man my man my man.

I’m actually a long time customer of BUKA but I think I’ve had enough. It’s like I have amnesia and continue ordering from them just to be disappointed every time. The egusi is so hit or miss. Today was a miss. Was more red stew and oil than it was egusi. But what really annoyed me today was the chicken they gave me with my jollof chicken combo. Fully burnt chicken. I’ve sent them the photos and they claim that it’s exactly how they intended so I want to post it here so they can stand on what th

We’ve been going to both locations for decades and last night, for the first time, we went for Valentine’s Day and it was perfect! They did a little decorating (cute, they made an effort) and the special kitfo with vegan sampler was the best. The service was especially sweet and she was really working so hard and it was packed — the grace under pressure was worthy of recognition. Thank you, Awash!

I thnk Dey shld pay heed to instructions or better dish out stews n shito separately. Food came soaked with oil. This is just part of the food. I think I’m going to throw the rest away. You guys shld do better. You cld just separate everything n make buying from you easier

WHAT is this MAGICAL place and how have I not come here yet?! It’s so fresh and delicious, and the menu is creative. Totally vegan, so healthy! Highly recommend.

My friend and I came after 10 on a Saturday. It said here that it closes at 11 so we thought we'd be good. But when we got there chairs were up and etc. They still accommodated with rice and chicken even tho he wanted something more exotic. The boys working there were kind of annoyed but they provided and we ate quick and left. I have to try to be there earlier next time

10/10 highly recommend especially for special occasions from the owner to the manager Kay who helped me put together my husband & I wedding anniversary dinner that was filled with surprises, the DJ was a really good vibe and even played our song twice I truly love dinning here. The food is always so delicious and I am truly happy the team was so willing to help make my dream a reality thank you guys for the best night of our lives which we will remember always 💞

Delicious Ethiopian food and a wonderful experience! The platter had great variety, and every dish was flavorful and fresh. The tej was excellent and paired perfectly with the meal. Warm atmosphere—I'll definitely be back.

With all my tolerance… I did not understand the price and food ratio, most of it was the flat bread - a huge crepe. The meat described in the menu was not the meat I got on my plate - mostly bones. Tables are super close to each other. The food was ok, mostly hot spicy with some of curry flavour. Probably for groups it is ok when you order different foods and cross- try from different plates. In overall - I was surprised to read so many outstanding reviews filled with so much excitement - and th

Omg! I've been craving some delicious, authentic African food. My beautiful coworkers recommended this spot. I been seeing them eat this delicious Djollof and finally decided to try it. I was so excited to see a fish option with the Djollof rice. It was amazing, delightful flavoring, a bunch of large pieces of veggies like cabbage, eggplant, carrot... I will definitely be back for more. I can't wait for my Father to try this Blessed African food from Senegal. Blessings, Protection and Positive e

The waitress was very nice and she was very thoughtful to put our 2 person order ahead of a table of 8 that got in around the same time. The chicken drumstick, lentils and collard greens were delicious. Loved every bite. On the other hand, the other chicken dishes (the one in grilled pieces) fell a little flat or one note (too spicy). Overall I’d go back and stick to the vegetarian plates.

Excellent beef suya bowl (4.5/5) with an incredibly nice staff and a very reasonably priced menu. We had the mild suya beef bowl with rice, kale, and a plantain. The meat was cooked extremely well, and there was a lot of it for a medium bowl. The rice was fluffy and flavorful, and the kale was good too. There's some outdoor seating.

You feel the Ghanaian warmth and hospitality as soon as you walk into Adom! Food was incredible, staff were so kind and welcoming, and they gave my husband a lesson on how to properly eat fufu! We ordered fufu and palm nut soup, Kelewele, and jollof rice. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in New York!

We happened to be in this part of Brooklyn for the concert in a small park by my son's band, and happened to notice that there was a Senegalese restaurant nearby. Since we've never had Senegalese food, the decision to go there was no brainer. The interior of the restaurant looked like an art gallery, with paintings, carvings, handicrafts and photos from Western Africa. An old man (the owner?) received us. He recommended several vegetarian options for me, but I already had my heart set on the Okr

Loved this place!! If you let them know you are gluten free ahead of time you can get gluten free injera and it was DELICIOUS. The staff is so sweet and helpful. It was an amazing spot and I really recommend :) there were 4 of us so we got to try a ton of stuff and everything was seasoned amazing and so tender

What a great spot! I ordered the Sabaayad Wrap with beef. The meat was very tender and well seasoned, and the bread (very similar to an Indian roti, if not the same) was buttery and flaky with a tender bite. The wrap also came with a side salad. I feel that most restaurants treat side salads as an afterthought, but not this one! It was very zesty and flavorful, and complemented the richness of the meat in the wrap. For only $11, this is probably the best and most affordable lunch in the neighb

FINALLY! A place with seasoning and spices!! Loved the welcoming staff!! My first time trying Nigerian food, and I’m hooked!! The Jolof rice is OUT OF THIS WORLD DELICIOUS! The grilled chicken perfectly seasoned and juicy.. the sautéed spinach was nice and seasoned! I cleaned my plate.. that usually doesn’t happen. I will be back to try everything on the menu!!!

Another great food adventure with my sister friends. I'm so glad we decided to try this place as our 1st African restaurant. I have been here 3x with family. I haven't had a bad dish here. There's so much food you will get a doggie bag. Bring your plastic containers to avoid a charge. I'm a fish lover & you will slap your mama over the fried croaker. The lamb is tender and can't say enough of their country chicken. Very good sorrel & ginger juice. We made an Africian AlDonald Palmer juice by mix

I ordered the okra stew And pounded yam I’m so happy that they give a vegetarian option. However, the stew was extremely bland. I would love to continue to order being that I live all the way in Flatbush. I just would need a little bit more flavor to the red stew other than that, the stew was hot and my order was correct . Please keep the No meat option on the menu

✨ Culture, flavor & vibes all in one bite 👏🏾 Bati Kitchen in Brooklyn brings Ethiopia to NYC 🇪🇹🍽️ For our feast, we tried Tsom,an assortment of injera with vegan sides like tikil gomen, key sir, gomen, and creamy shiro in the center plus the Bati rosemary tibs, tender beef cubes tossed in herbs & spices. The space is beautifully decorated, filled with culture, and perfect for a unique night out. If you’re looking for authentic Ethiopian food in NYC, Bati Kitchen is a must-visit. Follow

Guys, believe me the food there is great! Ok, let's put it this way: it is not a restaurant in the way you are used to - it is pretty small but for people who appreciate tasty and good priced food - there is a place to be! Salad, fish, chicken - everything is delicious and the portions are enormous! Owners are smiling and friendly. What would you ask more?!

Never eat here. I found cow foot in my fish dinner. They told me they ran out of sauce so they just take some from the cow foot pot. I mentioned that I am allergic and that I’m concerned about how sanitary that is to mix sauces and meats for customers that are expecting fish. They apologized and I asked for my money back they laughed in my face. This place is absolutely disgusting. I wouldn’t ever eat here again.

I love Ethiopian food so I had to find somewhere to get it when I was in NYC. I went during a quiet lunch hour and really enjoyed myself. The atmosphere and service were great. The food was good, although not as good as other spots I’ve been to in the US. This surprised me a bit, as I thought NYC would give the best. Overall a great experience and I recommend this spot.

I ordered jollof rice with mixed meet among other things. The rice did not taste fresh. There was mostly pork fat which is not meat. The other dish, beans, fried yam with beef was so so but the beef was tough.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at African Home Restaurant. I ordered a LARGE tuozafi meal, and when I got home, I realized they completely forgot to include the stew — which is literally one of the main parts of the meal. I called the restaurant to explain the issue, and instead of handling the situation professionally, I was met with rude and dismissive behavior. I was told they would correct the mistake by delivering the missing items, but when the food arrived, they sent a SM

What a truly remarkable experience. The food is lovely, so clean, healthy, yummy. Bersi herself is such a kind person who not only cooks the food but helps out in the front of the restaurant as well. It’s rare to see such a genuine restaurant in an industry dominated by restaurant groups with no soul. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great flavorful food in Greenpoint.

This place is cash only! I was in the neighborhood, so I looked up places to get Nigerian food and then I found this spot. I was really excited to try my first jollof rice. Talking to the owners, I explain that I would only like to do vegetables and jollof rice, no meat. They were very understanding and gave exactly what I asked for. Because there was no meat the price was different. The food was delicious, thank you for a wonderful meal. When I am done abstaining from meat, I will come back f

This was cray the amount of food we got for two plate at $27!!! I order a whole fish with plantain and lemon mustard onion pickle marinate. It was super delicious and the chef added an extra Half tilapia lol. He was checking me out. Yaaaas I'm the Senegalese man dream lol apparently in NYC haha. My second plate was dibi. Marinated grilled meat with grilled onion in a charcoal grill manner. With couscous and caramelized onion. Great price, taste and value...

I PLACED MY FOR DELIVERY AROUND 2: 40 SOMETHING PM, THE LATEST DELIVERY WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AROUND 3:43-47PM AND CHANGED FROM THAT TO AN HOUR LATER I.E. 4:43-47PM. I SAW THAT THE 1ST DELIVERY (WHOM I CHATTED WITH & HE RESPONDED BACK) GUY REFUSED TO WAIT ANYLONGER FOR PUCK-UP OF THE FOOD. ANOTHER DELIVERY GUY CAME ALONG AND I CHATTED WITH HIM TOO, ABD ALL I WAS WAITING FOR WAS THEGUY SUPOSEDLY WAITING/GOING TO DO THE FOOD PICK-UP..🙄🤦🏾‍♂️. AT 4:00PM, WAS WHEN I SAW ON THE APP THAT THAT 6 ORDER

Yeah, finger licking indeed, I saw the head chef pick his nose and then lick his fingers. And he wasn't nice about it either, I've never seen a man shove 3 fingers in his mouth, and my poor daughter had to witness it all. But the egusi didn't have a morsel of sand in it. Best egussy I've ever had in my life, despite the previously described experience. Peace and love to the nation, I'm out.

I had to leave a review. Well done you guys! Thank you for bringing real authenticity of Ghanaian food and service to New York. I have bought from a few restaurants and this was my first time trying you. I was skeptical but mad I didn’t do this earlier. I ordered a take out so sometimes expectations are not met but you guys exceeded my expectations. Food was large portions, I ate it twice. Stew and shito were separately packaged. Taste was exceptional. Very home made taste and you can tell from

Public Service Announcement: The Jollof War ends here. 😂🍚 I'm just going to say it: this is the best Jollof rice in the Bronx. Yes, I said what I said. To my Nigerian family... don't come for me. 🤣 To my Ghanaian family... take a bow. 👏🏾🏆 The smoky flavor is absolutely on point, the rice isn't swimming in oil, and every bite tastes like it was made with love. I can't speak for the rest of the menu because I came for the Jollof—and honestly, that's all I needed. They nailed it. If you're a

Where do I even begin? I kept seeing mukbang videos on TikTok of people trying fufu and egusi, and somehow I started craving something I had never even tasted before. I searched for places near me and decided to give this spot a try. I’m so glad I did—the food tasted exactly like what those videos showed: rich, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Abbey was also incredibly welcoming, walked me through the dishes she had to offer, and really made me feel at home. I’ll definitely be coming back to

I ordered from Uber eats and was completely shocked at how large the portions are for the price AND SUPER FRESH! I ordered the whole chicken with onions dish and let's just say, I GOT THE WHOLE CHICKEN, from neck to tail (literally a long curled neck!), you could even still see the bumps from a freshly plucked chicken on the skin (like did they do this themselves?!) And for$16?!! I was super impressed with it! Also a HUGE portion of rasta pasta for $5 , and a hand made empanada for $2! JUST

I went there on May 13th a Friend recommended I try their lamb chops. We ordered lamb chops, jollof rice and sweet plantain as well as a separate order of lamb chops and sweet peas. The portions of HUGE. The lamb and peas had came with 5 pieces of lamb while my Oder came in a large foil tray it only came with 4 pieces of lamb. All and all the lambs chops were well seasoned and cooked to perfection. The rice was delicious with the right amount of spice. The plantains were sweet just like I like

Had the Egusi soup with goat meat, along with jolof rice. Yes, I mixed the two, rather than getting white rice. Disclaimer: I'm not Nigerian. The woman who took my order was appalled..lol, but I love those flavors together. Probably the best Egusi I've had thus far, it was really hot and fresh. The jolof rice was not the best I've had, but together they were a winning team. I must also add, the food is on the pricey side compared to the portions. But going back for Egusi soup very soon.

This place is above 5 stars. The owner felt like a neighbor and was very generous. He gave us a free slice of cake that was so delicious and unforgettable. The coffee was the best I have ever drank in my life. It was strong and very aromatic and earthy. The food was unbelievable. I regret not ordering more for the drive home. The setting and service was amazing. I will definitely be going back to this place when I am back in NY. Thank you so much for your generosity and making us feel so welcom

Just came back from the restaurant and I feel so content and happy. I am not really into fine dining because a lot of the time it can get too intellectual, but I feel Dept. of Culture really made it experiential. The food is very good, I can feel the culture, the identity and the love in the food. I love Chef Ayo spend time explaining the dish, the culture and sharing his personal stories. He is not only a chef but an artist! This is a very unique, culturally and wholesome experience I had in NY

Worse than a 1 star if possible. Visited this resturant recently, the place was filthy with dust and cobwebs over the dining area. It had a standing fan with dust on it. The bathroom is also an ugly sight. Service was horrible. I was given the wrong food, I pointed that out and I was been forced to accept it because it has already been served, even though I didn’t eat it. The business owner was extremely rude and resulted in insults. Not a good example to her staff and certainly not a good wa

The restaurant server is a scammer, biased, and provided terrible customer service. I went to the restaurant on November 25th at night to buy grilled chicken. I had bought grilled chicken there years ago and I had no problem. But on November 25th it was different. I was the only woman in the restaurant and when I asked if they served grilled chicken the server showed me stew chicken. He then told me each piece of chicken was $4 while holding a drumstick. I told him that was too expensive. Later

This is a very good cup of cappuccino! Most local coffee shops have some bitterness to their coffee that I personally don't like, but this one here had very smooth and fresh coffee, with a small pastry, it's the perfect combo! Ceeyo was very nice and welcoming!
