I went to Chulla's Cafe for the first time and was blown away. The food is delicious and the service is top notch. I had the Coco Loco shrimp, which was perfectly breaded with what they described as coastal spices. It was served with a side of rice and cole slaw. I highly recommend the hibiscus drink. It is not the sugary sweet and artificial taste you may have experienced at other places. It has a subtle flavor of cinnamon and other spices. Everyone who works there is incredibly nice and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. They have an outside patio for dine in. I'm looking forward to trying breakfast one of these days - I will definitely be back! read more

The quality of service and food is unbeatable, a local restaurant dubbed as a cafe that will surprise you with their delicious menu and drinks. Thanks was getting some work done on my dads Silverado at the shops nearby and chose to explore this cafe instead of McDonald's or Carls Jr and boy I was taken back at the top tier service they provided. Come check it out, a hidden gem that will not disappoint. read more

We love the food here so far. We are very picky about food quality and were pleasantly surprised at how good it was. The owner was very nice to talk to and went above and beyond. He really shows that he loves what he does and puts it into the food. read more

Stopped here for breakfast I had the Lioness wrap and my bf had the chicken omelette. Presentation was beautiful and everything was delicious. The owner was very pleasant and made sure our food and experience was great. Will definitely be back. read more

Great food as well as great service!! Hidden gem of Sacramento!! Thought it might have been a Mexican spot because of the name but come to find out it's something different and unique in this area. Give it a try and you won't be disappointed!!! read more

Okay we just randomly picked this place because we were on our way to California from Nevada... And we walked in with beautiful smiles excellent service and the food was five star. It was so unique so clean and never tasted food like this before... Everything was cooked right presented beautifully and we just felt happy the whole time we were shoveling food into our faces...Owner was a sweetheart! Best thing about the food was the flavor, make sure to get the salsa/ sauce..yummy !!!! read more

This is a gem of a place. Customer service was outstanding. Had Chulla's 6-piece Chicken Strips and fries for $9.99. The portion was huge. The chicken was moist especially for it being white meat. The hibiscus tea is delicious. Will definitely come back again. read more

The family and I stopped here for breakfast. First thing we noticed was the delicious smell coming from the kitchen. The menu is extensive. We went with a couple of the bacon omelets, bacon bagel and a chicken omelet. Everything was super tasty. The sauces that it comes with are very flavorful. The owner and staff were very welcoming. Definitely looking to try their lunch menu and dinner menu. Best of luck to this place. They are on the right track. read more

I rarely get the chance to try food inspired by African cooking traditions, however today I was in for a treat! I wandered over to what I believed to be a Mexican taqueria, only to discover I was pursuing the menu of a much different style of cooking - Coastal African and Caribbean cuisine. At first, I glanced at the door, unsure if my partner and I would both be satisfied after preparing for Mexican. I've got to say, I'm very pleased I stuck around to listen to the owner who explained my options in detail (which was nice as I was unfamiliar with the food). A lively, good natured man, he was, and the food matched his personality. Overflowing with flavor, my chicken swarjma (likely misspelled) was wonderful. The house sauce, added that caloric filled blast, American pallettes crave, while the tender chicken and fresh veggies blended together into goodness. Thank you, I will be back! read more

My co workers and I usually come and eat here atleast 2 to 3 times a week the burgers are the best I ever had and they're customer service is great everything they have is great tasting real ingredients the cooks you guys are the MVPs no joke we will be back like we usually do if you're looking for a place to eat and actually enjoy great food come here I promise you you wont regret it read more

See all

What a great spot with great people in a place you'd never expect greatness. Had a delicious chicken sandwich and the house sauce was great. Also highly recommend the hibiscus tea! read more

We stopped by here impulsively after arriving from the airport and let me just say, we had the best breakfast ever!!!!! I had the Ham Bagel and it was seasoned so perfectly. The flavor was out of this world and my brother and mom agreed even though they ordered completely different plates. And these sauces! The sauces are so good, I wanted to take more home with me. I don't live locally but if I did I would come here everyday. It's a pretty new establishment but we will 100% continue to support this small business when we visit. You have to go here because everything is good and tastes fantastic! You won't regret it. Also we all recommend the jamaica drink, they make it with this amazing process that gives it such a unique flavor. read more

Just wanted to share my experience at Chullas Cafe. The food is delicious and unique. I ordered the SaBouYa and a fresh hibiscus blackberry tea. I am from Woodland and I just happened to be looking for a place for breakfast while I was in the area. I checked Yelp and this place came up with 5 stars. The owner Tamba is so friendly and professional, the place is a gem. I wish them my best and when I am back in the area I will be coming back for another great meal. read more

Tried the Red Snapper and Jungle Beans for lunch. I was pleasantly surprised with the flavors of the fried snapper, jungle beans and roasted veggies. The service was friendly and efficient. Definitely going back. Great little cafe with various choices of flavors and cooking styles. Ya gotta try the hibiscus tea! read more

Tried them for the first time today. The food is amazing, I had to stop eating to write this review. I got the ribs, wings, pineapple smoothie,and Caesar salad everything is good. Everyone was friendly especially the owner a very nice man. Can't wait to come back and try the snapper. Definitely recommend! read more

The whole menu sounded soo good! I'll definitely have to go back to try other things. My mom got the fish and chips and it was perfect. Wasn't greasy at all. I got the seafood okra jambalaya which was a lot and it tasted even better the next day. The hibiscus tea was soo good and they were making it fresh right there which was cool to see. We really want to also try their breakfast! read more

I came here one day for lunch just to give it a try, as it had many high-rated reviews, and I can tell ya they weren't lying--this place is excellent. First time here, I wanted to try something modest, so I went for the Afro burger with a side of fries, and let me tell you, this place prepares their food with LOVE. The burger was excellent--easy 9/10, but the real show stopper was the French fries. Giant, perfectly crisp French fries with a soft and creamy middle. All I can say is, "WOW." I came back the very next day to try something different, because this place already has me hooked. This time I had the beef shawarma and raspberry smoothie, and let me tel you--this place does not disappoint. The beef shawarma was nothing short of sublime, and the smoothie is leagues above something like Jamba Juice. The staff and owners are extremely courteous and friendly, the restaurant has a quaint atmosphere, and the food is excellent. I haven't had food that has this much love put into it in a good while. Highly recommend if you haven't to come and check this place out--you won't be disappointed. read more

We decided to try this place out for a late lunch and we are so glad that we did. Such a refreshing new restaurant with several different options of menu items that cooked fresh and to perfection. The cooks and cashier were such a delight. They made sure we enjoyed our food. I highly recommend trying this place out. If you're looking for something different and also on the healthier side, this is your spot. The plates are not humongous. And the roasted vegetables are soooo good. read more

Found this on accident and wow was completely amazed by the flavors. I had the Veracruz Bagre, the fish was light the batter was crispy and crunchy. But the star of the show was the peanut butter sauce! It blew me away can't wait to come back again....maybe even later today read more

Food was solid, great service. Owner is so friendly. Highly recommend it. We had the Afro wings. They were saucy and super tasty. Sandwiches were very big. Pork sandwich was a real pork chop. Very good! read more

Great new spot for lunch. Great food. Clean inside. The owner and his family are very accommodating. Plus hibiscus juice that's up front is amazing. Love love the garlic wings and steak sandwich read more

When I saw 5 stars with 190+ reviews, I had to try it. So glad I did! Huge diverse menu. My hubby had the Hungry Lion Burger and it was gigantic and one of the best burgers he'd had in forever. The plates come with only like 8 fries which I raised my eyebrow at. But they were handcut, big, and perfectly cooked. Coleslaw was delicious-- not sweet at all, which I appreciate. I do wish they had fountain soda, instead of just cans, but that's a tiny thing. Will definitely be back to sample more items on the menu! read more

This restaurant is nothing short of excellent. We've tried the veggie burger, okra stew, catfish, red snapper, and sandwiches. Everything we've tried thus far has been amazing. Also, the owners are so kind and interactive, which is very refreshing. Give this place a try; I guarantee you'll love it. However if you don't like the food, at least you'll enjoy the experience. read more

The food was wonderful. lots of great flavors and a Nice variety of choices. tucked away in a little mall, well worth visiting. The coastal African flavors are wonderful as well as the home brewed hibiscus drink. read more

It's so beautiful. Me and my family loved everything about it. Organic from farm. African flavors. So amazing. You have lost your mind if you don't go and try it. I'm never going anywhere else but here for some good food. Don't forget to try the sauces -Rory read more

After reading so many excellent reviews of this place, I was so excited to try it out! My daughter, my friend & I went yesterday, Friday afternoon around 12:30 or so. The service was great, the woman who took our order was awesome & super helpful. However, the service was really the only good thing about this place. We ordered the jalapeño poppers, chicken strips, fried okra, a beef shawarma wrap & 12 pc wings. The okra came out first, they were still frozen in the middle, then the "poppers" came out, they were frozen in the middle too & definitely not even jalapeño poppers, they were tiny little hush puppies! Then my wrap came out, and somehow the meat inside was also cold!! So the only things we didn't have to take back up to be fixed were the wings, which were pretty good & the chicken strips. I'm not sure how this place has all 5 star reviews when we were served half frozen food & cold shawarma meat. What a bummer! Just be aware that these reviews are either bought & paid for, or perhaps the only person who knows what's going on in their kitchen wasn't there, but either way, this place needs a lot of work. We spent almost $100 for food that wasn't even cooked :( read more

Wow... that's really it. The food the service. The family that owns it seems to be great people trying to live the American dream. Go support a biz that had the unfortunate experience of opening during the pandemic. Your treat will be having some remarkable food. They gave me a purple drink since it was my first time. I'm going back for whatever that was!! read more

I went yesterday morning and had the Veracruz Bagre (breaded catfish) and the Steak Sandwich - both of which were excellent! I particularly liked the chili sauce that came with the fish that I dipped the fish into. The gentleman who took my order and with whom I spoke in person while picking up the order was very curteous and enthusiastic. I don't write many Yelp reviews but I felt compelled to write this after such a nice experience. Highly recommended read more

Omg this place is sooooo good. I've only had their breakfast items but I am hooked. I had a veggie burrito and it was cooked to perfection. It's a pretty good size too. The next day I came back and had the breakfast bagel with egg whites and tomatoes potatoes. So yummy. The staff is nice and easy to talk to. I think it's a family owned business so that makes it even more special. You have to try their Hibiscus Tea! It's amazing. So much flavor. Good food options are sparse in North Highlands so going out to lunch was rare. Now I can't wait to try everything on the menu. They have veggie and vegan options!! Just let them know ahead of time. read more

My friends and I wanted some breakfast on our way to Northstar and luckily found this. It's great that they have outdoor seating and the breakfast burrito was awesome! Gotta try their hot sauce. Perfect with what I had. read more

First visit after driving past in my schoolbus for a month now. Very glad I did. Ordered the Signature Omelette and it was perfectly rendered. Portion, recipe, flavor, and execution. Potatoes were crisp and fluffy, and the two sauces provided got all used up. Oh, lets not forget the Hibiscus Tea. It alone is worth the visit. Will return soon. read more

The food is delicious and the owner and staff are amazing! I highly recommend everyone come check out the breakfast and the dinner options everything we have tried has been great. I suggest the teas and the hot sauce both are unique and tasty. read more

Food was in point, customer service is fantastic. Was offered the hibiscus tea which was delicious. Definitely coming back and would recommend. The spicy sauce is house made and extremely hot so be careful if you ask for extras read more

Small restaurant with big things! You can taste the pride and the quality in their cooking! So much that separates from the rest. Their tea is also a must try when going. And their service is very friendly and welcoming! I would recommend certain dishes but I don't think you can go wrong with anything you order! And the prices are more than fair! This original and unique restaurant gets my first ever 6 star review!! Thank you Chulas for one of my greatest dine in experiences! read more

Fantastic food ! Wonderful people. Can't wait to go back ! Ribs were amazing. Afro-burger might be the best I've ever had. read more

Great food! Very friendly staff! Highly recommended. The home brewed spiced hibiscus and black tea was amazing.

You can't go wrong. The food is fantastic. And the service is friendly and courteous. You can see the pride they have with their restaurant. I felt very happy there. read more

The food was amazing, wasn't expecting the Calamari to be as tender as it was! (Ordered the Seafood family platter and 100% recommend this item) read more

My fiancé and I just moved to the Sacramento area and we are so excited we found Chulla's! My fiancé is vegetarian and doesn't not eat most dairy products so it can be challenging to find places that accommodate both of us while leaving us satisfied. Our experience at Chullas was great, the owner was so kind and friendly we instantly felt welcome the moment we walked through the doors. The food was delicious and the restaurant was very well kept. We had the veggie breakfast burrito, hungry lioness green wrap and our toddler got the shrimp omelette. It was delicious and the portions were generous. The dipping sauces are next level addicting. We can't wait to go back for lunch/dinner. read more
