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.

Lol So I stumbled upon this one from my local yelpers and was so happy. The parking was easy to get to as it's in a plaza near Kroger. The inside is very spacious and lots of culture. The staff and even customers make you feel so at home. I felt like I knew these people all my life. Now the food!! Listen. I have left and came back to get a second round for me and my family. I purchased the plasava and the dry rice and fish. These women can cook! It was the best spinach I ever had in my life. I'm not even exaggerating - Ratatouille style. Bought back the childhood tastebuds lol So excited to have stumbled upon this place I will be coming here from now on! .

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! I also tip very well especially close to closing so counter dude that offered baked chicken or oxtails instead of my fried catfish list atleast $20 because I respect good service late. 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."

When we walked in, the place was clean with thr bar upfront. The beef Suya was delicious. The beef wasn't tough and was a great combination with onions. The Red Snapper was good but could have used some red onions to drape and hot sauce. The onion sauce went great as a side. I couldn't complain about the Jollof rice. I love Okra soup; however, this was too slimy. It would have helped after cooking the okra to drain original water before pouring into the soup. On rhe other hand, it had a great flavor. The drinks were okay. It didn't matter much because i am not a drinker.

The pounded yam was smooth and not too thick. I had fun scooping up the Egusi in the Fufu with my hands. Both together was an enjoyable flavor and texture combo. The Beef Suya was good as well, a nice meat appetizer. The beef was cooked well done which some people may not like, but I enjoyed it since I grew up eating my steak that way. It paired very well with the spice blend and raw onions. I also had the Ghanaian Jollof Rice and that was not my most favorite dish due to the flavor. Not my cup of tea, but the rice was cooked well. I also liked the side plantains. The interior is nicely ornate and comfy. The service here was also super great and my assigned server was very personable. I genuinely enjoyed my conversation with her and she did well giving me recommendations and directions as a first timer for this type of food. Overall, I had a great experience here and would come back again!

The okra soup was super thick, barely any soup / sauce. it had a bunch of sharp pieces of crew shell with no crab meat to be found. I usually feed it to my baby but it had so many sharp pieces. the egusi was SUPER dark and oily. it looked like dirty car oil and it was SALTY ! the chicken suya was great as always but they changed the dipping sauce that comes with it which is the main reason i even get the chicken. the sauce is disgusting. this was the absolute worst experience i've had here . it was a waste of my $125 and i will not be returning . i spend thousands yearly on this food and this experience has been a major turn off . i drive 35 minutes fron buckhead atleast 2x a month to enjoy this food and i am totally turned off from this latest experience . i would normally recommend but the change in the food was soooo drastic ! i'm scared!
