I decided to try this restaurant on a whim. The restaurant was small but not stuffy. The person that waited on me was helpful and answered my questions. I ordered the Jollof Rice with chicken. The rice was very good. There was a sweet spiciness to it. The chicken was ok. It may have been old. read more

Calabar Pot - Jollof Rice - African Near Me - Frisco, Texas

I wanted some plantains and jollof rice for lunch, but after looking at the prices and portion sizes. I settled for chicken and fries. My husband however, ordered the beef jollof rice lunch special. We went during lunch and there was absolutely no one in there. I guess I overlooked that as my sign to eat the food that I had just bought from the grocery store instead. Anyway, the lady at the counter was nice. It took our takeout 20-30 minutes to get to us. When I say I have never been so disappointed to eat African food, is an understatement. My container was filled with tons of fries, but less than the recommended palm size of chicken. The chicken had absolutely no flavor, that I had to dip it in the ketchup just to consume it. My husband let me taste his jollof rice and plantains. The jollof rice was not good either. The best thing was the plantains. I'm glad we avoided getting the bigger portions which would have costed us around $50, because they also have a policy that says they don't give refunds just because you don't like it. I don't think we will be going back, but at least we tried to support a local business. read more

Food and ambiance, the waitress was really nice! But it was very dark and no lights on! The buffet was way over price for the food, I had the Egoso Soup and the White Soup with Catfish and a side of Jollof rice. My chicken leg was dry. The four of us total was $156.00, two buffets at $36.00 each and two plates. Sorry but it wasn't was I was expecting, been to Africa. Maybe I need to select a different dish. read more

This restaurant serves authentic West African cuisine! If you arpe looking to try something new that offers unique and delicious flavors you gotta check this spot out. The service was so good, and the owner gave me lots of information about all of the dishes I ordered. The restaurant has a mixture of tables and booths, and is a nice size. You can dine in or order takeout. I love that they also serve drinks! It was a great experience. read more

I got scammed...I ordered food off the menu and after I got a higher bill was told that the menus were all old and I had to pay high prices for everything! I didn't want to cause a scene so I just paid but they can't be trusted. Their food is overpriced and the lady has a nasty attitude. read more

I don't understand how this place has three stars. If you are wanting a true treat-- and indulgence--, this is the place to go. It has officially out Nigerian food on the map for me! The service was great; the owner was very helpful in suggesting certain types of fish depending on the dish. Pro tip: call your order in ahead of time because everything is made fresh! Everything goes through this owner's hands. She truly cares about the customer experience. You can tell from the ambiance. Even the napkin holders were placed in an "X" to add a final touch. My family keeps raving about the meal. My grandma already wants to go again read more

Best food ever Test good and friendly faces inside keep it up guys Recommend test: fufu read more

TOO PRICEY . Bought egusi soup and it cost me 28 dollars and came with only 2 goat meat.

First and foremost, I never post reviews of restaurants or other businesses, but I had to in this case. I was charged $25 for a plate of rice, some fried plantains that were stuck together, which I could only separate by hand, and two (2) pieces of goat. When I asked the server about the serving size of meat, she replied that I could buy a side of meat. I was very irritated to say the least. I will never go back! This place is a rip off. If I wanted to spend $25 on rice, I would've bought it from Kroger and had it for the next 2-3 years. Needless to say, I didn't eat it and I left to go buy some real goat where the restaurant appreciates the customer at The Island Spot! read more

Calabar Pot - Fried Rice with Goat and Fried Plantain - African Near Me - Frisco, Texas

I'm always skeptical when I try new places and after reading a few reviews on Yelp I was a bit nervous. I came inside and it was very clean. The gentleman at the counter was very friendly and brought out my takeout order very quickly. The jollof was amazing! And had a great smokiness like it was grilled. The afang soup was also very tasty. I definitely was not disappointed! The beef was very flavorful and tender. Also if you are American do not come bashing another culture's cuisine because you are not used to it. If I were to compare the taste to an American food Afang soup is very similar to Collard greens with smoked Turkey and pounded yam is very similar in taste to mashed potatoes. read more

I was charged $29.22 for an oily based soup and a small amount of pounded yam!! That seems like robbery. read more

Calabar Pot - Afang soup - African Near Me - Frisco, Texas

Really disappointed with the food. I do not really give reviews but serving guests rotten food is a no no, someone can get really SICK. Vegetable soup: was bad and smelling, how will you dish out rotten food to a customer, that is a health hazard. White soup: looked like they just got it from the fridge so nasty. Goat pepper soup x3: it has been heated over and over so stale, food is not fresh Fish pepper soup: over cooked and all the fish crumbled After spending $$130 not worth it. read more

It was my first time. I ordered online for pick up. I ordered Asun, spicy goat meat. The order was ready when I arrived. The clerk was nice. The dish was definitely spicy. I made some rice at home. I am not a goat meat expert. I wasn't expecting parts to be chewy. Other than that no complaints. I did make rice when I returned home. I am going to try and expand my horizons and try a different dish since I am not to familiar with this type of cuisine. read more

Calabar Pot - Asun. - African Near Me - Frisco, Texas

I went and ordered the egusi , it was supposed to be with chicken instead of beef but I got the beef. It was still good and the portion size was good. The egusi was a little more watery than I would have liked which made me not like it as much but overall it wasn't terrible. read more

We had read about this opening a while back and were excited to give it a try and it definitely did not disappoint. We had the shrimp appetizer, white soup with catfish and fufu, and jollof rice with fried tilapia. The portions were huge and we had plenty of leftovers for lunch the next day. We weren't super familiar with the dishes and the chef kindly came out and explained everything to us and helped with beverage pairings as well. We definitely will be back again! read more

Had afang soup with pounded yam fufu, food was delicious. Restaurant is clean and spacious. read more

I should have read the reviews here before going to this place. Spend $50 for a plate of rice and 2 pieces of fish socked in tomato purée. No one came to ask how we were doing. Asked for water. They brought 2 bottles of water. So are we suppose to drink that from the bottle. WTH. Asked for glasses. got only one. So let me say we were still hungry. Customer service lucking. Will never go back and don't recommend. Save your money and go to Aldeez where you get lots of food and very tasty. read more

Really wanted to like it, had a great African cuisine restaurant in another state we loved in, but this was pretty disappointing, the spices were good, but the meat (chicken, beef, goat) were all so dried, overcook not what expected in a stew! The portion were 85% rice and 15% meat, most meats have bones too so even less meat to eat. Very spicy (that was ok but let's say there is no mild option), even for kids (way too spicy for kiddos and mine does eat some spice but not that hot). Overall overpriced, poor quality meat and/or cooking, maybe it was just a bad day but doubt we will try again... :( read more

We ordered jollof rice. The jollof rice was lacking in taste, kind of bland and tasted mainly like bay leaves. I really wanted to like this place but I just wasn't satisfied. The meat was very dry. The plantain and grilled shrimp were good. Overall, I wouldn't come here again unless it was for the grilled shrimp. The interior of the restaurant was nice and clean though. I would try the restaurant but don't have high expectations. read more

We were so excited to try this place. We ended up not eating 95% of the food. The jollof rice tasted burnt. The goat meat in the egusi was dry and there wasn't much of it, mostly bone. We were also given two cow tongues in two meals that we did not ask for and usually I appreciate free meat but I would've preferred extra goat, as the boiled cow tongue wasn't what we asked for. read more

As other reviewers have stated, the chicken is overcooked and tough. My husband ordered jollof rice with chicken and after one bite, he threw it in the garbage (waste of money). We cancelled dinner plans elsewhere to try this restaurant that we noticed while driving down Preston Rd. I ordered jollof rice and plantains. The rice had a burnt pot taste and was lacking in flavor, and the plantains were dry. I was starving so I ate the food, but I will never be back. I really wanted to enjoy the food, but it's just not good. That said, the service (and I assume the owner) are very pleasant and nice. The restaurant is clean with nice decor and good music. I wonder if the food would be better if every person in the kitchen was Nigerian. Lastly, I am accustomed to Ghanaian jollof rice and plantains, and thus, perhaps that is the issue - my taste buds prefer a different flavor (but I thought they were supposed to be similar). I won't say stay away, but I do suggest you not try the jollof rice, chicken and plantains. read more

Calabar Pot - EXTREMELY dry and tough chicken. - African Near Me - Frisco, Texas

Loved it! Walked in right as they open and I was not disappointed! I had the white soup with goat meat with a side of pu des yam. The restaurant smelled great, was clean and I am glad to have stumbled on it! Okay read more

So I was super excited to try this place but I ended up being very disappointed. When I got there to order my food the waitress told me is gonna take 30 minutes to get the order it felt like it was 40 minutes until I got the order just so to look at the order looks like it was only like three pieces of meat and I ask for goat meat and they ended up giving me two small pieces of goat meat and adding fish to my food that I didn't ask for. I think this place is a rip off charging people $27 for two pieces of go meat and 1 fish! I think for the price and the food and the way they stated like that's definitely not worth $27 so save you money and go somewhere else better. read more

It's a clean and bright restaurant. The service is sadly lacking and the food is very spicy. The fried fish is bland and the Egwusi soup is very spicy and the chicken is very tough. I would suggest the Jolof rice if one is ok with the strong Smokey smell and no real flavor. The calamari is not fried and steeped in a very spicy sauce. I'm sure I will not give up on finding a really authentic West African eatery. read more

The staff is GREAT! I ordered to go, and these people were very courteous, very accommodating, they treated me as if I were a friend, not just a customer. The menu items were a little pricey, but the food was great nonetheless. I ordered jollof rice, and egusi. The egusi was as tasty as if a friend's mother made it in her kitchen. The jollof rice was good as well, but had a slight smoky taste I was unaccustomed to. I have waited for a very long time for a quality African restaurant in this area, and I will definitely go back, and recommend to my friends. read more

Probably the best spot to get Nigerian food. It is actually worth the money and you get great portions. Keep it up guys.

I went in on a Thursday night and it was busy. There were many dishes to choose from as all sounded good. I ordered the fish with plantains. Let's just say there were no leftovers. It was flavorful, spicy and delicious. I will definitely be back read more

If you're looking for sour food on the verge of going rotten, this is the place. The woman who cooks is just as bad as the food she serves. I came there and while waiting on my order this lady with a Nigerian accent comes out and hugs a friend and escorts her to a table, mind you I'm there waiting for over 10 minutes now and they're going on about some party or something she is planning. When the food finally arrives I take it home and by the time I get home the fried rice is sour, it stank like it had been cooked for 6 days, the goat meat and the beef taste really bad. This place needs to be visited by the health inspectors before someone dies from food poisoning. And the fries tasted oily and fishy, she no doubt uses the same oil to fry everything. I couldn't have written this without chosing a star but that place hands down gets zero stars and 10 thumbs down. Anyone concerned about their health should not eat there!!!!! Yuck!!!! read more
