Thought I'd give Nigerian food a try last week. It's unfortunate (I do hate giving bad reviews on small business) but TBH, If the food cost half this much, I still would not return. Unbelievably overpriced for what you get. $25 for one piece of dry meat and a side of ??? I know gold prices are high, but This is not gold...it's food. It's one thing to have confidence in what you serve but they seem more concerned about $$$ than quality ...and definitely NOT concerned with quantity! Too many great restaurants that don't gouge you. I'll spend my hard earned money elsewhere. Sorry. PS...pro tip: lower your prices. It can't cost this much to serve beans and rice. read more

Food was Awful, I was in the same complex shopping and wanted to give it a try. First, I pay cash and she could not give me my change back as she didn't have any change. I got the authentic Nigerian beef tacos, the beef has a mystery beef look, the lettuce is stale and tinted and gross if I may. I asked for sauce on the side and my meal was doused with some super spicy sauce. I should've realized when I noticed not a soul around. I will never return and have thrown the rest of my food out. Don't eat here, YOU WILL GET SICK read more

The parking lot is a tight fit. But this cute adorable resturant. The temp was a tad high maybe the ac broke this day. The server was lod, the service was quick. I love that it is family owned. We had a couple of things here and the food was delicious, this was my first time trying and I want to try more items. read more

Agege Bites - This is Fufu & Egusi stew with their Chapman drink. 10/10 - African Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

The food is okay. Last time I came here I ordered the fish with my egusi. It was incredibly fishy tasting... which is a bad sign iykyk. I ended up just buying a side of goat because I couldn't get past the taste. My goat came out with two small pieces, one of them was inedible and so tough and chewy. The service is straight forward. The establishment is very quiet. West Hut is usually my go to but this is way closer to me if I'm craving African food. read more

They have white lady who works here which is odd enough. The fact that she's clearly racist is what's actually crazy. It's 2026 and as a grown man I never thought I'd get called "BOY" unprovoked to my face over 5 times in less than 30 minutes. Her justification is that and I quote "It's America I can say whatever I want". What's worse is that the others working there didn't seem to have any real problem with it besides saying "I'm so sorry". Came in to get food to celebrate a graduation. Terrible experience. You wouldn't think it would happen at an African restaurant but I guess that's where I was wrong. One of those experiences you just can't make up. I don't know how you can own and operate an African restaurant and clearly these people are from back home as well and you're allowing people like that to work there. Extremely embarrassing. read more

Not good value for the price. I have been here twice in the past 6 months and the meat (I have ordered chicken, beef, and turkey) is particularly disappointing -85% of it is bones. This 2nd visit I got the okra and they were very stingy with the stew (didn't seem like more than a table spoon). Fufu was cold. Flavors were decent but for approx $28, after tax this was a rip off. Tempe is a bit of a hike for me, but Nedu's kitchen does a way better job. **They also charged 11.8% tax on the total, which is pretty darn high read more

Agege Bites - Okra- very little stew and almost exclusively bone turkey - African Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

1. The pounded yam was not even IYAN! It was a regular potato pounded to imitate IYAN! 2. Look at this small meal for $53 this is robbery! 3. The egusi barely had palm oil and was very watery and tasted like it sat in a pot of water! 4. The chicken was so dry it was sooo sad that on my birthday I drove from EPhoenix to come here what and very terrible thing to do to someone. I'll never return. This place can improve on plate sizes make the plate size match the price and cook the egusi correctly. If you're tired of short on ingredients DONT open shop! read more

AgegeBites serves fresh and delicious Nigerian street food with rich, authentic flavors. Every meal is well-prepared, tasty, and satisfying. The service is friendly, and the overall experience is great. Highly recommended! It was just a beautiful atmosphere. read more

I visited Agege Bites my first time in the Phoenix area and it was more than I expected, I had Amala and gbegiri and had a to go of white rice and ayamase stew and the food did not disappoint, portions were also filling so that was really good for the prices. The reception was very friendly and the restaurant had enough space for a dine in so that was also good as I had to wait for my uber. It had elements of Lagos from the Ayo, ludo games and books, it was lovely to see the cultural element and all made the ambience feel like home. But all in all, asides from food, they also had clothing merch so i indeed had a lovely time being there, a must visit also if in the area. read more

Agege Bites - African Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

We were a party of 3. Atmosphere: Clean. Nice. Food: Great! Two dishes came out first. No utensils. Order was mixed up. It took asking several times for utensils to arrive. When we began to eat the food was room temperature, as if it had been sitting on the counter. The third dish arrived well after the first two people had finished eating. Sloooooooow service. No "how is your meal?", "Do you need anything else?" Nothing.... Were left twiddling our thumbs waiting and waiting just to get the bill. If we were not honest, we could have walked out without paying. For the price Agege Bites, you have to do better. A restaurant business is supposed to be a positive experience that customers remember and will want to do again. No, thank you. read more

Agege Bites is for people who've never eaten Nigerian Food. Pros: 1. Friendly staff. Cons: 1. Reviews from people trying nigerian food for the first time. Someone said "very similar to Caribbean and Spanish flavors mixed with habanero spices". Christ. The only similarity between west african food and spanish food is plantain and the use of rice. Gotta love Arizona. 2. Tried the Egusi Soup (3.8/10): This is the type of egusi soup that aunties in a village make 10 year olds make. Heavily stew based; not an ounce of palm oil. And this $25 meal comes with 1 piece of meat. If you want to know what egusi looks like..look up "Calabash African Kitchen" in vegas. That place is ran by a chef who gives af about providing customers with authentic food. 3. Tried the Suya (2/10): They got the flavor right but the texture is fucked. Suya meat shouldnt be wet. And it was missing Onions. $20 for a palm full of this crap. 4. Tried the puff puff (6/10). Decent but not much flavor going on. Needs more sweetness. Atleast the texture was correct on this one Summary: Paying high prices for an abysmal attempt at nigerian food will leave you sore. A spot like this in NYC wouldn't last a week. If you've never had west african food then you probably wouldn't mind this food. You truly wouldn't know any better but believe this...the real thing is 50x better. read more

Excellent food and friendly service! Particularly good - suya, jollof rice, egusi and efo riro stews, and Chapman.

THE worst egusi I've ever had. Under seasoned, underwhelming to say the least. Fufu was the only thing that was right. Ordered puff puff as the appetizer & no taste & SO DRY. I also ordered the spaghetti & wow. It felt like it was a leftover from the week prior because half of it was hard, & dry. And the chicken leg that was on top was COLD! The restaurant itself had boxes everywhere & cleaning products everywhere. The menus were covered in food. Gross. To top it off, our bill was $150. We will never come here again. We've tried Nedu's Kitchen in Tempe & it was AMAZING! Egusi was ON POINT! We tried going there first, but guess they closed. :( read more

The egusu with fish came with meat that we did not order. Pescatarian mom and I did not enjoy it and we've never seen egusu prepared this way. We've been around Nigerians (my stepdad and my mom's husband of 42 years) and have never seen such palm-oil heavy, watered-down egusu. Portion was laughably small for the price. Fufu had obviously been frozen and (sort of) warmed up. Really disappointing. read more

I had the red stew and rice. Tasted AMAZING. My only complaint is they only gave me one peice of turkey. Other than that the red stew tasted amazing and will definitely be back again. read more

Got a generous takeout order here and they still got it to us in around 15 minutes. I had never had Nigerian food before, but I particularly enjoyed the joloff rice, lamb, and chicken. The rice dish was quite a large portion but the meats less so, so do with that what you will. read more

Food is average and over priced...won't be back...spent 30 for a meat patty and egusi...and the portions were small...also no wall between the kitchen and dining area which was kind of awkward when dining in... read more

Came in and I was the only person there. Lady at counter greeted, told me to get the menu and ordered where she is at. About 10 minutes later a small family arrived and the lady ran to them, greeted and took their order at the table. Same for the other guy after them... After about 30 minutes of waiting my pepper soup (goat meat) with swallow (fufu) arrived. Somehow the small family and the other guy who ordered more than I did their foods arrived before me. The foods were decent however the service leave a bad taste. I'm all into supporting local businesses but, the customer services needs work. They should treat everyone the same and not selective. I felt unwelcome as the only Asian eating there. read more

First, support black-owned businesses in the Valley. I had their Ogbono soup with pounded yam, and it was so delicious and filling, which reminded me of home. I took one star off, because on Google they didn't specify their dine-in and takeout hours. I arrived at the place around 6 and sat myself just for the waitress to say that I have to get takeout because they close at 7. That being said, they can improve their customer service a little bit. Otherwise, the food is good and delicious. read more

My first experience with Nigerian food! It was a hit, very similar to Caribbean and Spanish flavors mixed with habanero spices. I finallllly got to try FUFU! And it did not disappoint. I loved it with the efo riro. My favorite thing might've been the asun though, aka goat appetizer. The place is a mom and pops shop and they're so nice and welcoming. read more

This food is not authentic. It's very inconsistent. They are always out of everything. They are microwaving every order. There is no spicy. If you order to go good luck. It will be half the portion size. The best bet is to eat there and pack it yourself to go. Can someone please open up an authentic Nigerian restaurant in the East Valley? read more

I tried Agege Bites as my first ever experience trying Nigerian or any African food and I am beyond impressed to say the least. Everything I ordered was bursting with incredible, complex flavors and unlike anything else that I've had. Super fresh, made with love and high quality ingredients. I ordered the jollof rice, ewa agonyin and turkey and I can't pick which one is my favorite! Even my picky toddler loved the jollof rice and turkey! The owners are incredible, sweet people as well! Basically Nigerian food is my new favorite cuisine now and I can't wait to go back! read more

I was so excited to try this restaurant for authentic Nigerian food. IT WAS WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY OVER PRICED. A bowl of rice and ONE drumstick was $21. IN WHAT UNIVERSE IS THAT OK? Even in downtown Manhattan where the rent is astronomical this is not ok. I could not believe it when the waitress bought me that bowl. Taste was a 7.5..still not worth it. Even a leg quarter--WHICH IS AN INEXPENSIVE CUT OF CHICKEN--would have been acceptable. DO BETTER PLEASE read more

Overall, I highly recommend Agege Bites to anyone looking for a top-notch African dining experience. Great service, amazing food, and a welcoming atmosphere make it a must-visit! Ordered the Asun, and Redstew and rice with fish. Very much obsessed. read more

As a Nigerian born and raised I can truly say that the food here is great. The worker are also really nice and I like the vibe of the restaurant. It's very "Afro chic" My one complaint is the portion size. I feel like whenever I go there I either don't have enough soup or enough stew. Besides that , I would give this place a 9/10 read more

All of these reviews are lies, like legitimately they must be family and friends. The service first of all was horrible. We had to grab our own drinks, the puff puff was microwaved, and we had to interrupt our server from using his phone every single time we needed something. The food was over spiced and mediocre. 10/10 would not recommend. If you go, I hope you have better luck. Also the restaurant was empty . read more

Good food, very impressive, service was excellent! I recommend you check out this place if you're looking for African cuisine.

If I could give it zero stars I would. I'm not sure if this is a scam or a real place. It was such a waste of my time, I tried ordering online at 6pm for like 3 days it said the pick up will be the next day when it said they close at 8pm!!! I called them several times in the 3 days to speak to someone to place an order it kept going to voice mail, no one called back or acknowledged the call. I went to their address on the app and on google I literally couldn't find anyone there, any restaurants or trucks about 3pm. I called again multiple times, twice the calls were answered but no one said anything or called back. Other than than flier at the location NOTHING indicates they exist there. It's sketchy to expect me to order food online but be unable to locate you at your address, what's my guarantee I would've been able to pick up my food after paying online. The address was in a building with just equipments and no assistance. I was looking forward to it based on the reviews and the menu but I'm utterly disappointed at the lack of accessibility, customer service and unclarity as to how their service works or what their time of operation is. read more
