There is plenty of seating here and a very relaxed vibe at this restaurant. I also really liked that they have a station where you can wash your hands. I would definitely recommend coming here!

The first time I went here they did not have anything and I was a little disappointed. They have…read moretheir sign that says they close at 10, but maybe it was that day, or they were just out of everything, because the lady told me they only had two things left on their menu, so they decided to close up shop early maybe, I do not know, but the second time around when I finally was able to order something, I was not impressed. The best part of the meal was probably the seasonings they have sitting on the side of the counter where you order. I do not really know who works there. First there was a lady, then there was this kid, but the kid was sitting in the lounge when I first walked in and stood there for about 5 minutes at the bar before the lady in the back who was having a conversation with the lady who makes the food I guess came from behind and walked around to the register. Their menu has absolutely no pricing. I had the peanut butter soup, which was good, but a little disappointing because the majority of the meat was nothing but fat, and there was not that much meat in it honestly. The potato that was in it literally looked like that had just cut it in two and threw it in the soup. It was good, and not that bad portion wise, but if I had known it was almost $20 I probably would have gotten something else. I was hoping to try the hookah while I waited, but evidently all of the hookahs were in need of maintenance, so that was a bust. Would like to go back in the future, maybe when they have a crowd of people or something, but overall I was disappointed.

I ordered Collard Green And it came with white rice. Inside was just chicken beef and shrimp. I would say the sauce Is a good size for two people, but the rice you may need a little more. I love the flavors of a sauce. I liked everything spicy so I did ask for a side of pepper and that hit the spot. I also got a nice ginger beer they make in house, I can taste the freshness And the ginger doesn't overtake the drink. There is free parking and they do dine indoors and sometimes they have really cool event so check this out!

This place is a joke! I walk in at 15 minutes before close to here, "we don't serve fried food 30…read moreminutes before closing". Seriously you are a joke! You know nothing about serving customers in the restaurant industry. Every real restauranteur knows the at 1 minute to close you are full service. Lost a customer for life!

But whatever you'll be closed in a year no doubt

Located in a strip mall, the restaurant is pretty unassuming, though many great restaurants are…read more When you walk in, there's almost a nightclub vibe inside. Very dark and not many traditional tables and chairs. I came around lunch time and there were quite a few ladies in beautiful traditional dress (it was Christmas Eve). I had called ahead and ordered takeout and when I walked in I was promptly acknowledged. Food arrived in the quoted time (25 minutes). Nigerian cuisine is not one I'm incredibly familiar with, but I have tried many of the standard dishes. Today I went with White Rice and Red Stew, which comes with plantains. It was delicious. Piping hot and incredibly fresh. The spice level was perfect. Just spicy enough but in no way overpowering. The plantains added a sweet element which played beautifully against the spice of the stew. The only place they lost points was the price on the website is not the price I was charged. $19 on the website and I was charged $25 but maybe they just haven't updated to reflect current prices. Regardless, I really enjoyed my food and can't wait to go back and try some other dishes. Edit: Take note, it doesn't say "The Island Grill" on the sign. It says "The African Grill."

Unfortunately I didn't get the name, but they come in small containers and are orange. The restaurant itself was decorated expressively, and the ambiance was very nice. The moment you walk through the door, you are hit with a delicious aroma of spices that lets you know this place is the real deal.

The beef sambusas are the essential starter crispy, well-seasoned, and gone in about two minutes. For the main, I went with the Meat Lovers combo: lamb, salmon, and filet mignon, with gomen, cabbage, mushrooms, and rice. It's rare for a spot to nail three different proteins on one plate, but the filet was tender and the lamb was seasoned like they actually care about the craft. Eating it with the injera is non-negotiable; you need it to catch all that flavor. The portions are heavy, so I did the smart thing and took the rest home. Honestly, that's the pro move--the spices hit even harder when you run it back for round two later that night. If you're in the area and want a meal that actually justifies the hype, this is it. No gimmicks, just solid food and good music.
