    Jollof rice and plantain
    Bella B.

    The wait for the food is quite long and there was human hair in our food. It wasn't the best first experience but glad we still tried it. We ordered egusi, fufu, plantain with jollof rice, turkey wings, and fried dough balls. I think I liked the turkey, fufu and plantains the best. I wasn't a fan of the egusi or fried dough balls. The jollof rice was ok. I think the next time I try this cuisine it'll have to be in an actual seated restaurant. We thought the concept of being in a gas station was cool and decided to try it out. If it never had fufu and egusi, it's an experience you shouldn't miss.

    The fufu was really good, and I enjoyed the egusi soup as well. It had rich flavor and tasted authentic. Just be prepared for a slight bitterness in the soup, which may not be for everyone but can be part of the dish's flavor profile. Overall, it was a good meal, and I'd come back to try more of the menu

    Service was great and so was the food! Everything inside was really clean as well. Thank you for the kindness!

    Came here to try African food for the first time! Called in around 2 in the afternoon and picked up after work around 630pm. Brought it home and everything was still warm. We got efo riro and egusi soup along with some jollaf rice w plantain and yam fufu. My favorite was the efo riro. It was seasoned nicely and went well with the fufu. The rice was also great and the plantains were good too. The complimentary puff puffs were great as well. Overall a great first impression of African food and hopefully more to come!

    A Small Bowl of Afang Soup  with 2 Proteins of Choice
    Dot O.

    While in Riverside I was craving a good Nigerian food because there's really none in LA (I have been to all and unfortunately, they are now watered down). After checking on Yelp I found AAC. I was skeptical at first but after seeing the pictures of the puff-puff I said I had to go here even if it's just for the puff. This is the most authentic Nigerian puff. I make puff-puff and I have ordered from no less than 7 Nigerian different caterers in Los Angeles. This is a slam dunk 10/10. Soft, moist, not greasy, not sugary, perfect size. As I looked at the menu,( big menu) I had no choice but to get a meal. So, I ordered the Afang soup with poundo yam. It tastes and look like Afang (from River State southern Nigeria delicacy). This was very flavorful although it tasted a little salty for me but didn't matter that much. Some periwinkle's were noted in the soup too which is a classic ingredient. I am definitely going back here even though it's about 1.5h drive from me it's so worth the meal. It's located inside the gas station shop, clean, decent. No eat in just take out; so order in advance food is freshly prepared and can take up to 40 mins. The puff-puff is also made fresh, it was so hot and delicious. 2 people finished the box in one sitting. I have been looking for a good Nigerian restaurant lately. Many are a hit or miss, some start well and decline ones they start getting comfortable and give the cooking to non-Nigerian kitchen helpers (not cooks). It's my first time here but from the taste of the food you can tell it's cooked by a real Nigerian cook. Ample parking, easy location, very friendly staff at check out. I'm definitely going back there to try more meals, hoping for another good meal.

    Eforiro (Vegetarian)
    Suong L.

    Location: If you try to follow the map or the directions through door dash like I did, you'll get confused It's literally just in the Chevron convenience store where you pick up the food. I didn't realize that when I drove in so I was wandering for 2-3 minutes until I called them to ask. Service: So friendly and sweet! They are glad to help and want to make sure you love what you order to eat. Food: It was delicious and satisfying! My first time ever trying actual African food of any kind. I've especially always wanted to eat fufu. I was super curious about the egusi but I'm a bit of a texture person and was worried I wouldn't like that particular one so I ordered the eforiro. The eforiro was nicely seasoned and well cooked. I think it tasted good and hearty but light at the same time. It didn't make me feel heavy or gross after, so I liked it! The fufu was super fun to use my hands to eat the eforiro with. It was an interesting experience! The fufu texture is soft, pliable, and has a slight chew to it. Puff puffs were yummy! A familiar taste and texture. It's not overly sweet, just sweet enough. It would be amazing with powdered sugar and/or condensed milk on top! You could pair it with anything as it's essentially just a fried dough. These were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Overall, a great experience! It's just further than I can drive most times but I would love to try the egusi next time and a different fufu!

    I'll be honest... I was a bit skeptical that this was coming from inside a gas station but I remember that there is food inside a bucceeeeees. Anyway this was my first time trying these dishes. I gotta say that the flavors were so good! I love the spice they added to it as well! I tried the jollof rice, fufu, egusi and afang soup. In love with the flavors AND dude at the counter was super nice and helpful and patient when it came to ordering since it was my first time. So, do a phone order or be prepared to wait a bit. Their counter is right next to the gas station counter. The only reason I didn't give this review full stars is because the meat was tough. I tried the chicken, lamb, and beef and the chicken was dry and the other meats could have been a lot softer so I was disappointed by that but the flavors still a great dish!

    Left Work to try them out two Days ago. They don't open until 12 but why were they still not open. I never got a chance to try the place out. The Setup seems a bit weird as it is not just inside the Gas Station but they share the same counter. I don't smell Food cooking nor do I see a Kitchen but the Gas Station Employee said, "They should be opening soon"! Soon? I said ok but was certainly thinking, "Soon, it's after 12"! I don't know.

    Had some of this from a friend so decided to order some takeout. This place is amazing! The Okra was a perfect spicy level. The lamb and beef mixed well with the rice and fufu. If you haven't tried African food before, this is a great start. I'm looking forward to ordering more items from their menu in the future.

    JOLLOF RICE with PLANTAIN and BEEF Yam flour - 2 wraps Egusi stew Okra stew
    Jude H.

    Ordered here for the first time and definitely not the last time! I ordered via phone and let them know it was to be picked up at a later time. You can tell the food is fresh from the first bite. To me, the spicy was a good heat. To my husband, not so spicy. To each their own, I guess. We ordered Egusi and the okra stew with yam fufu. The okra stew was my favorite and the egusi was full of flavor. Can't wait to try more of the menu!

    All African Cuisines is my go-to place when I crave the comfort of home-cooked meals. While there's a Nigerian restaurant just 15 minutes away, I make the 45-minute drive to this place. I've visited it multiple times, and each time, the food has consistently been delectable. Every dish tastes fresh, and the portions are generous. My recent order included goat pepper soup, agusi soup with fufu, and white rice tomato stew with plantain. If you're seeking authentic Nigerian or African cuisine, you won't be disappointed. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the food is prepared promptly. The meals are freshly prepared on order.

    Jeremiah H.

    First time going to a gas station to get a full meal. Service was fairly quick and polite for what it was. The Jollof rice was amazing and the Egusi Soup with Fufu was nice. The ambiance was that of a gas station since it's inside one.

    Is one order of egusi soup big enough for 2 people to share?

    It depends on how they eat. But one bowl is packed for one to eat and maybe eat again - later.

    How far ahead can we place an order?

    Hi, does this place have a dine-in? I want to come with a friend who has been dying to eat Nigerian food.

    Oh no. Not yet, please. We only do take out.

I came here because I've been wanting to try Nigerian food for the longest time. I ordered through doordash their beef egusi that came with fufu. It was about $28 for one portion. They put the beef on the side and it was dry AF. The flavor was okay but it was difficult to swallow since it was so dry. The egusi unfortunately had a strong fishy smell to it that was off putting. The fufu was probably the best thing there. I also gave some to two other girls to try and they felt the same. Unfortunately I was very disappointed in everything and didn't even finish my meal. That is rare for me. I also didn't like that when I came my order wasn't ready. I think they didn't even see my order. This place is small and casual. The two ladies working there were nice. The foods look pre-made. They also sell some grocery items in store. There is a few tables and chairs inside and outside. It's located in a business area by the round about.

Their injera bread (some sort of crepes) is something that you eat with, and I'm telling ya, you'll get addicted pretty quick ! The owner is nice and the staff that help us also nice.
