A TRUE HIDDEN GEM!…read more If you haven't discovered African Dream Cuisine inside Lenexa Public Market yet, DO NOT miss this place! Seriously. This is one of those little gems that deserves WAY more attention. African Dream Cuisine offers traditional West African flavors and recipes inspired by generations of culinary tradition, and you can absolutely taste the love and care that goes into the food. (Lenexa Public Market) And let's talk about the people because the food isn't the only thing that makes this place special. The staff are some of the nicest, warmest people! From the moment we ordered, we felt welcomed and taken care of. That kind of genuine hospitality makes the whole experience even better. For my meal, I ordered the braised chicken with yam fufu and egusi sauce and WOW. The chicken was incredibly flavorful and so tender, the kind of meat that practically falls apart. The egusi sauce was rich, savory, and packed with flavor, and the yam fufu was the perfect pairing. My husband ordered the chicken with Banso-seasoned potatoes, and those potatoes were TO DIE FOR. Seriously, so much flavor! I may or may not have stolen more than a few bites. And whatever you do... DO NOT SKIP THE SWEET PLANTAINS! They were cooked to perfection, golden, caramelized, sweet, and absolutely delicious. They were the perfect way to finish the meal. Another HUGE plus for me: they have great gluten-free and dairy-free options, so it was really easy for me to find something delicious that worked for me. And guess what? They cater too! Do yourself a favor and go try it. Get the fufu and egusi, get the chicken, get the seasoned potatoes, and PLEASE get the sweet plantains... Don't miss this gem!

It's tucked away in a bit of an unexpected location, but that's exactly where you find the best hidden gems. ​The restaurant was busy, which is always a great sign, and the staff behind the counter were fantastic--super warm and genuinely caring. You could just tell the food was going to be incredible. ​I ordered the fried plantains and the Nigerian chicken stew, which is a killer combo of Jamaican jerk chicken topped with a traditional stew, served with their special rice and cabbage. The chicken had just the right amount of kick and those incredibly deep, slow-cooked flavors. Truly one badass bird, and the sides held their own, too. ​Of course, I couldn't run away without trying dessert. I brought home a piece of raspberry lemon butter cake and a piece of chocolate butter cake. Even out of a to-go box later on, they were phenomenal. This place is warm, inviting, and serves up serious comfort food. Highly recommend going out of your way to give them a try!

Entering this cove of Caribbean meets Nigerian, I was pressed by the woman behind the counter. According to her, I would only get plantains. In response I mustered my best antagonist energy to match. Sure enough the menu opened up before me! Remember kids, it's press or get pressed... While she offered the last oxtail, I couldn't muster yet another slab of meat in KC that day. Instead, it'd be a mackable Rasta Pasta for this white boy. After a serving of P's and Q's, my dish arrived in kind. Lucky enough to dine alone I employed my best ravenous dog impersonation, breathing all of three times in the next ten minutes. It was as if world peace actualized, even for just a moment, in that bliss of now. Four big WAHGWANS from me!

They recently expanded to a second spot right next door and its vibes! If you're interested in trying real authentic African food for the first time....this is the spot! I love ALL their dishes. Although it may be a bit pricey and sometimes a bit overly spicy which they do a great job at accommodating for those who don't care much for spicy food. Today I ordered the meat pie and beef suya, it was a bit too crispy but nonetheless was delicious. I highly recommend you try this place out and meet the owner. Great food and Great vibes.

It is a great experience as I was wondering if I would like it and it turned out better than I expected. The server was very polite and asked us if we need help with the menu. He recommended the sampler combo which consists of different meats and veggies options. I am glad that we listened to him as one sampler combo was very filing for two men. It is kind of like Indian food so if you are not sure why to try, go with the sample combo. I also ordered the Ethiopian iced coffee which is like a light roast flavor iced coffee and easy to take in. I would recommend you to try out this restaurant if you want something different than bbq or pasta at the Kansas City Market!

But was met with a server telling my bf because he didn't place the order he can't make any changes or request additional help for it. As I was telling her my concerns she told me it's not her mistake and they cannot do anything about it! And the first time we tried getting our order they about refused to hand over it to my bf hence I was the one who placed it! Very unprofessional customer service!!!
