    Makarel with plantain
    Natacha P.

    Small Congolese restaurant with great food. It's always fresh and hot and made to order. They have good service are always polite. The ambiance reminds me of restaurants back in Cameroon which is where I'm from. I highly recommend their chicken, ribs and fish. The jollof rice is also delicious.

    Oxtail
    Liz I.

    The food was delicious but it did take about 20-30 min to get the first dish. Overall, it was worth the wait. I'll come back for the oxtail and okra. The ribs were good, but a tad salty for my taste.

    Goat meat + plantains + pili-pili
    Georgette M.

    Stopped by Friday night w/ my mom and we enjoyed the food. I ordered the goat plate w/ plantains and it was delicious. My mom had the Makayabo w/ sombe and pounded yam. A few of the items on the menu weren't available which was disappointed. Clean place. Fally Ipupa in the background- can't go wrong with that. The owner was our hostess, server, cook, and cashier. You'll have to be super patient here and enjoy music in the background as it does take awhile for food to arrive. The pili-pili was 11/10! So good!

    Pork ribs and yam fufu

    Friendly service and great food! We also had the samosas, highly recommend. High praises.

    I ordered the Grilled Chicken, Jollof Rice, Egusi w/Yam Fufu and Puff Puff. All of it was pretty good. However the portion of chicken I received was very small and mostly bones. And the Jollof Rice was extremely spicy but I liked the kick.

    definitely coming back this goat with the jollof rice is so fire!!!!!

    the goat with the rice is some of the best stuff i done had in a while!! everytime i come to euless im coming here!!!! meat falling off the bone dont need no salt nothing i swear!!

    Jollof rice and Fried rice
    Quinnton J.

    Great food and very good customer experience. I had the Fumbwa, Pondu, Bean, Jollof rice and fried rice. Everything was delicious.

    Beignet
    Tish W.

    I'm soooo full. My chest is hurting but it's all worth it. I've been past this place so many times in the past but I finally stopped by to eat today. I tried a little of everything. The fufu was fun to eat! The Congo ginger beer was spicy as hell and got me in line for the rest of the dishes to come. My favorite part of the meal was the samusa appetizer! The runner up was the Grilled chicken; spicy, tinder, juicy! Yup. The beignets were just fried dough (no sugar on top like New Orleans style). The service was good! It has a caring family feel to the place.

    Egusi & chicken and fufu

    I had Egusi & Chicken and fufu! Which everything was great and fresh cause I went at 12:30 when they open! Only thing I didn't like was how my egusi had a lot of grease in it!! Service was GREAT it always the same lady! Ambiance was chill cause she let me watch the news

    Great beer options from West Africa

    This place is really good. Most of the clientele when I was in there were expats from Nigeria/West Africa so the food HAD to be good. Thankfully they dont Americanize the menu so it's actually delicious and not a watered down version of West African dishes like you get at so many other places. Spicy means spicy here. Plus, Ms. Victoria is a very sweet lady and definitely knows what she is doing. I got the curry goat and was VERY happy with that decision. Definitely will stop by next time I'm in town.

    I was very happy with the food and the service! Goat stew is to die for!! 100% recommend! And the prices were very much reasonable for the amount of food you get which can easily feed two. I loved the jelof rice and I like that the give you the spice on the side:) I will be returning!

    Tiffany S.

    Their tilapia and rice are always delicious. This place is pretty consistent. I will be back for sure.

    Fufu n goat meat

    I am sorry the food tasted good not awesome. The portion was so little for $17.99! Goat The fufu was almost $8 but the goat was too little for the portion of fufu. Super oily as u can see in the picture. Super expensive for what they give u. Don't go try some where else. Where at least u will be full for $26 at least. For one person!

    Waited 45 minutes; egusi tasted stale/reheated and I found a curly hair. Other than that the jollof was okay and everything else.

    I had a $15 gift card for one of the food delivery services. I think the person who gave it was…read morethinking coffee but I was thinking, who gets coffee delivered? I forgot so about the card until someone asked me if I used food delivery companies. I loved them in the past but had some odd experiences. Nevertheless since I was in TX and not familiar with any of the local restaurants I decided to pick food the person I was with had never tried. After researching several options I landed on this place. I ended up ordering several items so I could get the person to try a variation and so I could get a good idea of their approach and how they prepare specific dishes. Especially in the DFW area. I'm American but have worked in parts of Africa in the 90s and lived in NY and the DC areas. I'm from CA and it took much longer for West African food products to make it west. I ordered over $200 worth of options. The pricing made me change my mind on 3 different occasions on separate days over 2 weeks. I then justified by thinking, that if the portions are fair I food freeze items and/or eat leftovers a few times with the spices marinating and getting better. Overall, I was very pleased. I've attached a photo of my receipt and food. I wish they had placed more of the spicy pepper paste being that in every note, I wrote spicy or extra spicy and there wasn't an option for condiments. Some of the pieces of meet in the dishes were sparse or just the fat. The pieces of goat in the curry, egusi, and okra could have been cooked longer but the flavor of all three dishes was delicious. The person who had the food for the first time enjoyed the spices but their expressions when asking questions related to each item, were hard to decipher. They don't have a mature palid and stick to what they like (bad food) for over 50 yrs. When I brought habaneros to cook with, they had no clue what they were, even though their mexican salsas said habanero was in it but the peppers on the bottles were not habaneros. The added rice with the dishes was very good even though I bought the jollof rice as well. Having both was smart. Again. I wish I had more African pepper paste The person I was with LOVED THE PLANTAINS.. T wasn't surprised. They were ripend and cooked to perfection. I had to hide them so when more food was being tasted the focus would be on the others. I was right about having leftovers and nothing went to waste.I even served the rice with fish dishes I prepared later in the week. Yes, I would choose this restaurant again!!! However, I think I'm going to drive there and order to see if the portions are the same and if I'm saving any money. Oh, I forgot to mention that the restaurant did and excellent job of packaging the food abs placed all bags and containers in a box. There was only one container that had saran wrap that leaked due to it being squashed and cracked. The way it was wrapped.. saved the dish!!!

    Amazing food. Great service. Easy parking. It was my first time at African Village. I will…read moredefinitely come back. I was craving that rich flavor meal I grew up eating. I for sure got that. Egusi was amazing. It came out steaming hot. It was painful waiting a few minutes for the food to cool down because I wanted to eat it right away. But it's not good to complain about food being too hot. There was ample seating. The server was attentive and courteous. When I walked in there was a black cowboy riding a Rodeo on TV. So assume this may be a great place to watch sports and eat. Make sure to order an Indian Malta with your food. There was a wide variety of food selections on the menu. So it's a good idea to reviews the menu prior to coming. See images attached. I will be back for the awesome food.
