I love this place. I am thinking about going there anyone in the highway 6 area. They are not called the fish house for nothing. The grilled fish is amazing and comes with a personal side of plantains. Alright the plantains can be a sometimes in the harder sides depending on the time of day you go, the fish never disappoints. The vibe is lowkey, inside of a plaza but I usually take home, bc I can't eat it cute lol but the service is quick especially if doing a callin/pickup. Oh yes and the suya is very good, I love getting extra onions. Best thing, they are open till around midnight read more

Their Galveston Tilapia is a grilled well-sized fish that is seasoned well. My wife had the okra soup & she enjoyed it. Great food at an amazing establishment! read more

African food I came to the food here it was absolutely amazing! I actually like how they put the spice on the side for those who may be sensitive to spicy food, which is not me, but good for those who want other people to try before they apply their spices. The service was also really nice. They were prompt, knowledgeable,and able to answer all questions. The ambience was fine as well. It was on a Sunday afternoon, with my mother and her friend, and it was very spacious. This was my second time coming here, and I would definitely come back. I ordered the Galveston tilapia, the $15 size, and it was more than enough, but I did finish it lol it came with plantain that was well fried, and I decided to get a side of Spinach again, and it was also also very big lol the portion sizes are awesome, and definitely worth a price. read more

Chez Michelle is a casual restaurant/lounge type deal. Plenty seating in a Friday night. Service was fairly good, our waitress checked on us and was honest about what she didn't know (specifically, which spirits they served). My drum was delicious! Well-seasoned and large. The jollof was pretty good. Plantain wasn't my favorite. Is def recommend this spot for the fish. Pricing is questionable. read more

Chez Michelle Restaurant - a plate of fish and french fries - African Near Me - Houston, Texas

Best African food I've had in my lifetime... definitely will be returning with some friends

When I am craving grilled fish, this is the place I go. The tilapia is flavored well and the dipping sauce is spicy the way I like it. The service is slow, but that's because it is made fresh. read more

The food was the best and I am very pleased to have been taken to the restaurant. The environment was pleasant and relaxing and made me feel like I was back in Nigeria. The wait for the food was worth it since the food tasted so refreshing. read more

The process to get my food after they gave it to someone else took a long time to resolve. When I finally recieved my order, it was missing my suya. Also did not receive any plantains one of my orders said it comes with that I selected. Extra stars for how delicious the tomato stew and jollof was, they are great at seasoning, but the oxtail was VERY tough, and would not come off the bone without tearing very hard at it. read more

PRICES ONLINE ARE FALSE. FALSE ADVERTISEMENT. Went to this restaurant to try for the first time, checked the prices online and asked to see a menu when I walked in. The guy handed me 2, the takeout menu and the "updated" menu. I see the same price of my intended order on both. Then he proceeds to tell me that the prices I'm looking at from 3 different menus (including online) are not correct because his system is going to charge more and I honestly did not understand that. He even tried to emphasize the updated menu but I saw no change in price as he was attempting to show. It was complete false advertisement. A major issue when trying to attract new customers. May they fix the issue. He didn't even seem concerned to apologize for the mix up. I walked right out. read more

My first time being here and I absolutely love it. Being part Cameroonian, I really do not know much about the culture but the foooooood bangs! We Had Ndole with Oxtail with Plantain and Jollof Rice. It was actually an acquired taste but it in a good. The build up of the taste was amazing with the plantain so I'm definitely going back for seconds. My friend had the tilapia and he ate that right up so I'm guessing it was amazing. My guy ate it to the bone. read more

Yesterday I ordered my food at 6:30. I got there at 7:30. My food wasn't ready. I got to my house and open the plate. All I had was nothing but fat in my Nodole, and hard plantains in the other plate. Instead of taking it off the menu for the day, they rather make money by selling people fat instead of beef and hard plantains that's been sitting there since early in the morning that is a disservice to the community of people who love your food. I was very disappointed, and I travel all the way from North Carolina in hopes of having good Cameroonian food. read more

Very pleasant surprise off of Hwy 6. The place is big and may seem impersonal. But not at all. The staff is very nice. Young man waiting on us and mending the front (cash) area was very patient and professional. Although he was multi tasking, he never made us feel like we were annoying him with our various requests. Patrons seem to feel very at home when they get there. The food was excellent. The pepper they serve with the fish is a must try, even if one doesn't particularly like spicy food. It kicks the fish flavor up a couple notches. I will def recommended and come back. Good job to all the staff and I hope you stay just as great as well as your food quality. read more

I'm all types of confused about this place. I came here with a friend around 930 last Saturday -- it was empty. We are dealing with the 'Rona, but my goodness there were literally two other tables occupied and the establishment is not small. This place has a good rating on Google and my friend had eaten there before, so I wasn't concerned. As to be expected at any African or Caribbean restaurant... they were rude upon entry. But this was extra rude. They literally mean mugged us and did not speak. The server just brought the menus and stood there and stared at us. We were not familiar with the items because we are not Cameroonian (though honestly everything isn't Cameroonian on the menu... Suya is definitely Nigerian) -- so we had questions. Our server was TERRIBLE with all of them. We asked what Capri was, he said "alcohol". NO ISH SHERLOCK-- IT'S ON THE ALCOHOL MENU?! He did say it was a Cameroonian drink though. (I didn't have good service and couldn't check). Why is Capri a liqueur (so should not have been given as a shot), ITALIAN not Cameroonian and DISGUSTING! After that, we got the Beef Suya as an appetizer, because safe. That was good. But oh dear, our entrees. My friend got the chicken and fries -- both were pretty bland in my opinion. He'd previously come for the whole Tilapia which he did say was very good. But my food?? I ordered the Ndole with Beef Oxtail and fried plantain. First, it was supposed to come with rice and that was never given to me. They gave me boiled plantain. Then, most importantly.... they gave me FISH not oxtail. I thought I was crazy at first, but we eventually discovered that our rude server wasn't actually that rude... he couldn't speak or understand English well. At ALL. He went and got the owner and she explained that they had him on the floor as a way to learn. WHAT? She then asked if I'd had the dish before which was neither here nor there because the point is I asked for oxtail and received fish! The fish version was not good. I'll never know if their oxtail or anything else is good, because I didn't want to order anything else after that ordeal and have no plans to ever return. read more

So I came here on a Sunday afternoon and ordered my food to go. I picked up my food and noticed it was cold and ask if they can warm it. They instead gave me a new food. I waited 10 min and they brought out a new food. I took it home and started to eat it. I noticed the fish tasted funny. Like it's didn't taste like the regular tilapia fish I have ordered. I mentioned to my husband it taste funny but continue to eat it. On Monday I noticed my stomach turning. I now went to toilet and had loose stools. Very loose the whole day. I'm not sure they prepared this fish well and am very disappointed. I have been in several times in past Ana never experienced this but now that I have I will no longer come here. If you noticed the food taste funny here throw it away and let them know. Cheers and happy holidays read more

Prob the best Suya i has in my life!! I had to wait for the server to attend to me but after they got to us it was smooth sailing from there. Def would recommend this place to anyone looking for some quality African eats. read more

Chez Michelle Restaurant - Suya!! - African Near Me - Houston, Texas

I love their tilapia pepper soup. It's only $12 and the tilapia is big and it comes with boiled plantain! The negative is that it takes too long for them to make it. This time it took them well over an hour to prepare the food. But it is delicious read more

Worst customer service!!!!!! employees all have attitudes when you ask questions. They take forever if you're picking up an order. My mom and I went to pick up an order my mother placed over the phone, grilled tilapia with fried plantain on Thursday night. We were being ignored several minutes by the owner/employees after she told them why she was there and she's being here longer then the customers who just walked in. We walked out. And the man ran to us near our car to give her order. The food is okay, and a little too greasy. But if you can tolerate the bad service enjoy read more

So - decor is meh. The food- so I tried a fish dish and just hatEd it. Was almost Nigerian. Plenty of locals that visit here - so maybe it's just not my style . Never returned read more

Would give 5 stars but service needs to improve eg greet each customer when they come in and not charge a dollar for extra peppa when folks order regularly over $20 worth of food. They have Great roasted whole fish, miondo, egusi, okra soup and other authentic WEST AFRICAN DISHES read more

Amazing service from Linda. In the last i came and hated the customer service. But today i gave it another shot and was very impressed. I am excited to come back. read more

African food. Variety of the menu. Better location too it's bigger you can sit and eat or order to go. Calling to place and order to pick does not always work so do not blame them for that lol Rather make time to go there... still try to call but hey haven't been able to get through. Anywho, some of the food is really spicy (the hot type) too so be aware! read more

The staffs here are unprofessional... I don't know where she got them from. Only the oldest slim lady with black cap moving up and down to attend to customers. The rest of them were playing with their phones. read more

I like this spot for their pepper, plantains and whole tilapia. I have to admit their suya is nasty tho, it's not your typical suya on a stick nor flavor it's chewy, thick pieces of meat . read more

Great food horrible customer service , even if you call to order ahead they still take 45mins to an hour to make your plate . I typically order suya and jollaf rice and it always takes more than 30 mins for my order to be ready . I love their food but I hate having to wait so long especially if I call ahead . read more

I love the food the only African restaurant I go to , every time I go there I always feel welcome. Today was a different story, I went there with my friends and the customer service was TRASH. The lady who took our order was so rude and had a nasty attitude. Very disappointing . read more

Their grilled fish is amazing!!! The bathroom is untidy and the restaurant dining area needs some improvement. But that's about it.

Great service and the fish was on point. The sugar meat was tasty and price wasn't bad at all.

Great Soya or Suya depending on how you say it. I haven't found a better tasting Suya than what they serve here. Only thing I order. They have a fish and plantain dish they are known for as well. Service? They try. Lol. read more
