    Acheke with beef and salad

    I am now a big fan of Ecowas African Restaurant. I had the Jamaican Jerk Chicken with Rice & Beans and it was so hot & great that i had to take off my hat! I mean the African & Jamaican spice mix was amazing! I had the order of 4 African Donuts as an appetizer. And those things are so big, that I could only get through half of the jerk chicken and rice & beans. So that meant I had the rest for a late night dinner. Yes the portions are big enough for 2. Especially if you get those African Donuts. The other great thing besides really great food (healthy big portions) is that the restaurant itself is very nice and roomy. Big enough for over 70 people. They had 3 flatscreen TVs in different parts of the restaurant showing sports. They also have a couple tables outdoors and a late night food truck parked right outside where you can get skewer or kabobs of meat (I think beef & chicken but maybe more items). I will try those next!

    This was my final visit to Eatwell African Restaurant. I placed a pickup order and arrived early. I…read morewas told to wait until the scheduled pickup time. That would have been acceptable, except when I returned at the exact time given, I was told to wait an additional five minutes. What is the purpose of scheduling a pickup time if the order is not ready at that time? Customers' time should be respected. This is not an isolated incident. I consistently experience this issue with the same server. The attitude is dismissive and unprofessional. It often feels as though I am inconveniencing her by simply picking up food I have already paid for. The treatment toward women in particular is noticeably unpleasant and uncomfortable. If you arrive with a partner, the energy shifts in a way that feels intentional and inappropriate. Customer service is a choice. The repeated lack of professionalism, courtesy, and respect is unacceptable. Even when the food is decent, the experience overshadows it completely. I did not enjoy my meal because of how I was treated. I will not be returning and cannot recommend this establishment to anyone. Respecting customers' time and providing basic courtesy should not be optional.

    Went here with two girlfriends and had a good experience. I booked our reservation through google…read moreand we were seated right away. The service was good and we appreciated that they had a hand washing station available on the main floor for use. For our appetizers we ordered puff puff which was my personal favorite. It was warm and delicious. We also ordered a scot egg, meat pie and veggie spring rolls which were also good. For our entrees, I went with goat, jollof rice and plantains and both of my friends got fish. One got the red snapper and the other got a white fish which they enjoyed. As far a my meal it was decent but the goat and jollof were more tomato based than I expected. Good flavor but definitely not the best I've had. I also would've liked if the plantains were sweeter. The only issue was that the prices on the menu did not match the prices on our check. They were higher on our check, which can be frustrating if you're expecting to spend a certain amount.

    I've been on a quest to get back to the roots and eat some African food! I'm glad that I was able…read moreto eat at Soul of Africa after being highly recommended. Let me start by saying this, do not expect high levels of customer service. When I arrived, they were having some issues with POS system. I waited several mins prior to someone speaking to me and asking to take my order. Nonetheless, the gentleman here was t super talkative but was nice. Okay onto the food. If there one thing to take away from this review: BE CAREFUL WITH THE HIGH SAUCE. This not American high sauce, this shit is no joke. Try a dab before you sprinkle it onto your food or it could potentially ruin your meal. Jallof Rice - I thought it would have been a little bit more flavorful but it was tasty Red Snapper - BOMB! Cooked to perfection I would 100% order again Plantains (not show ) - also delicious. I'd definitely Rec commend and I look forward to going back and trying some other authentic African dishes.

I've been a customer for years and today…read moreis the last day I will ever spend a dollar with the Soul of Africa on Rising Sun Avenue. The Cassava leaf soup that I purchased had one piece of hard chicken for the entire small container, too much Palm oil and the spices were overwhelming to make up for being taken advantage of via lack of. I'm pissed, disappointed and I will make it known that the food now sucks, they will nickel and dime you for things that was at one time included like beef, goat meat etc.

I love that they have options to add chicken and shrimp in your food. A lot of places haven't done it that way so I was happy. I ordered cassava leaf with shrimp and rice on the side for someone and it was 8.9/10 the flavor was good had a great kick to it and it was my first time trying potato greens and I was happy with it actually I'd always ordered Egusi soup but I wanted to try something different this time and I paid $10 for fufu enough for two people or more. The portions are fantastic I actually can't wait to eat the rest later. It was 10/10. The best fufu I've ever had. I'm a texture person and I'm part Korean and black so I didn't grow up eating African food so I could never eat fufu much I end up wasting it but here was totally different it was PERFECT I know I'll keep coming back to try their food! The pricing wasn't bad but it also can get costly. I paid $4 for a Minute Maid drink so total I ended up spending about $50 for two people and one drink.

    I came here based on the reviews. I am not sure if I had a one off incident but I had the most…read moreterrible service and sad food experience. the server tried to add extra menu items to our order. He mentioned something that my food came with sauces and confirmed that they would but when the food came out, he declined he ever said that. I ordered the pepper soup and it was outright nasty. The meat was extremely tough and chewy, they didn't give it ample time to cook. I love me some African food but feel that because my girlfriend and I aren't African, we were treated differently. We could actually hear the microwave while they microwaved our food. Very disappointing experience, I wanted to see what everyone was raving about but this is just sad. At the end of the day we were charged for three meals though we ordered two. He did the math on his phone, no cash register and kept telling me that everything I ordered had an up charge.
