This place have the BEST egusi soup. The lovely lady truly puts her foot on it. It's a must. Fish and plantain were great also. But that Egusi was a next level of great Nigerian/ African food. read more

Very small establishment but the meat pies are so darn good. A lil pricey for the size but a definite must try

This place is not worth it. Worst jolof rice ever. People aren't looking for lots of tasteless food. Don't let the reviews fool you. I literally had to throw the rice away. I don't need that much food. Never ordering from this place again. read more

The moi moi and jollof are delicious, my boyfriend is Nigerian and he introduced me to this spot it was delicious! He gets the egosa and fufu. Faithful customers to this establishment! Even when you make a call ahead they are attentive to timing, if you say you will be there in 30 minutes they will have the food fresh for you upon arrival. Give it a try and don't just pass it by read more

The price online isn't what they charge you once you get there. You get less good when you order to go versus when you sit there and eat. Not enough food for the price. read more

This is my go to naija food spot . Any holiday foods, jollof is the best in the DFW. The stew is good too. I usually get goat meat. She's very convenient when it comes to holidays when you don't want to cook, just come here . Kemi is so sweet and has great customer service.Her staff is as well. read more

The food was well seasoned and tasty. I really liked and enjoyed everything I ordered. I will definitely go back and I highly recommend this restaurant for people that like to eat good and healthy without denting your pocket. read more

Isn't all that great. Had jollof rice, pounded yam, and moin moin here. Needless to say I have been there a couple different timed and the pounded yam and efo that day has been my only positive experience there. The three stars is only for the soup on 1 occasion. I went again recently and the soup was not good then and the meat was not what I asked for. read more

Authentic African food! Welcoming people, comfortable atmosphere. We ordered the Fufu with goat meat and the Jollof rice with beef. Both dishes were great! Fantastic flavors, spicy, delightful read more

I'm a newbie to Nigerian cuisine so I was pointed the direction of Kemi's Kitchen. Kemi was so nice and sweet and very hospitable. On my first visit I tried egusi soup and fufu. AMAZING my second visit I tried the fish (tilapia) and jollof rice with plantains. The fish was flavorful and plantains were hands down amazing. I've been three times within a week and I plan on returning again soon! read more

Looking for some really good West African dishes, it's worth the trip to Kemi's Kitchen. Every dish I've tried to date had left me feeling great. My personal favorite is the Pounded Yam with Ogbono soup. In my opinion the best place to eat or pick up the dishes I remember from Naija. I recommend this place for everyone of every background. read more

Great service for a Nigerian restaurant! I loved the moi moi. The suya was hard/dry and the eba we'd prefer softer but otherwise we enjoyed our food. I'd say one of the better places in town based on the service. Can't wait to go back and try other food! read more

See all

The best vegetable I've ever had! Jollof was amazing and Kemi (Auntie) was amazing! Came, sat down and talk for about 30 minutes!!

Great Nigerian food . great family owned business. Jollof and fried rice is great here. Great venue to take family or a date as well.

I visited Kemi's Kitchen for the first time today. The food was good. I ordered the jollof rice platter with beef and moi-moi and meat pie. The beef was tasty, but rough to cut and chew. Other than that, I was content with my meal. However, the customer service and atmosphere was terrible. I was not greeted by anyone, including a guy who was on the phone the entire time I was there. Two people were nice, but one of them still looked at me as if I walked into the wrong place. I guess will have to try another Nigerian diner. read more

Ordered Stew, chicken with rice. Not to spicy and tasted good. Chicken was just a little tuff. Besides that food was good.

The service was poor. It was hot as fish grease inside the location. Luckily they were giving out water. This one lady was the opposite of customer service friendly. We received two pairs of silverware that were dirty as if they took it off someone else's plate with out washing. The goat meat was tough and inedible and we are true goat meat eaters. The best thing on my plate was the plantain. Their was a younger lady who came in right before we left and was customer service friendly, the only reason we gave it an additional star. It was our first time and will be our last. We drove over 30 mins to get there... read more

Tasty authentic Nigerian food. The suya was spicy and delicious. They serve plenty of rice and fufu but they were a little skimpy on the meat. The staff was very helpful and friendly I will definitely be returning. read more

Kemi's Kitchen - Fried rice with beef and moi moi - Caterers Near Me - Grand Prairie, Texas

Still #1, spot in DFW for 9ja cuisine. Never disappoints and worth every penny. Ogbono, Ila, Ewedu, Amala, Iyan, Asaro, name am, dem get am with correct correct flavour. i tried the other 9ja spots but nothing compares to Kemi's Kitchen yet. Customer service is on point. I had Egusi soup catered at a party and it was a hit all across the board. Everyone with various taste buds from all over could not get enough of it. Next time i have a party or gathering i'm definitely going to ensure they carter the food for that party. read more

Love the fish platter. Large portions and plaintain are soft not hard. Good food for fast pick up. Call in your order.

Ok, so I buy restaurant.com certificates to save a few $$ and to try new places. That being said the food was really good but the waitress was less than satisfactory! She offered nothing, we had to ask for everything. the place was empty and we still waited forever for silverware, napkins, boxes, and the check. i am a bartender and a good tipper but she was probably the worst waitress I've ever had. Ok, then the bill comes. We had to spend $35.00 we actually only spent $32.00 I added it up.... anyways it was $35.75 now I have a restaurant.com certificate for $25.00 so any four year old could tell you the math would equal $10.75. The bill was $21.00 brought out by someone other than our server we never saw before and I said clearly it states $25.00 off. And she said several times that's not what it says. Now I was going to tip more than 20% before all of this even with the atrocious waitress but I was so put off by this embarrassing display that I left $13.00 and left. Yes the food was good even though they were out of one of the 8 things on their menu but totally not worth the hassle!!!!! Highly disappointed! Step it up people there are a million other places to eat. -Beth read more

Saw them on restaurant.com and thought we would check this place out. We went and it is family owned. Everyone including others at table next to us were very nice and offered to explain everything. The menu is limited with the number of dishes, but the choices of meats is great. We tried the meat pies for an appetizer, and they were great. We ordered the Solid Food Platter w/ goat and the Fish Platter. Both were extremely delicious with fresh ingredients. They are spicey dishes but that is something we love. We definitely recommend on trying this place out and we will be back. read more

The food is ok I cook Nigerian food all the time so comparing to tired of cooking it is ok. The cater to most African church's and events so the food has never been just so amazing to me. For a new person first time earring African food this is a good place to go it may seem really salty or spicy at first but overall it is 3 stars I rather go to Irving for Lola's but Lola's always runs out of suya or dodo. No whala read more

Still by far the best Nigerian restaurant in the DFW Metroplex in my opinion, always consistent in great taste and Scotch Eggs are a must try. read more

Love Love Love... That's the best i can say. This restaurant serves the best and most authentic African cuisine in the most authentic way. You can have american service with silverware or you can eat with your hands and the fufu. I enjoy the Efo Riro, Mashed beans and plantains EACH time i dine here. Sometimes i may opt to get the egusi stew ...but several orders of Efo always do me justice. If you have never tried authentic African/Nigerian cuisine please allow Kemi and their family feed you the best. I would recommend requesting a side of the spicy stew or red sauce to accompany your plantains and/or efo riro. I did try the meat pies and found them to be quite delicious. Several of my friends have eaten the baked fish and loved every bite. I have not had a single bad experience and have frequented this wonderful kitchen weekly for the past year. Enjoy! read more

The fish platter was amazing I tried it once with rice and plantains then the second time with smashed black eyed peas. Not only do is the fish seasoned to perfection but they give you a good hot helping of everything else. Wish we had some music though read more

I recently went back to Kemi's for a 2nd time. Although I think they still have work to do, in regards to customer service... this time was way better than my first time there. We were greeted inmediately, before fully walking in. We were told to pick a seat and our waiter was there to take our order. Food came out quick. We ordered fufu and egusi soup. Food was AMAZING !!! OMG !!! The food was soo amazing. However, our waiter didn't give us any napkins and disappeared for about 15 minutes. Overall, the experience was much better. Everyone was friendly. The only hiccup was our waiter disappearing and I spilled soup on my white shirt. Didn't have anything to clean it with so I now have a stain I can't get out. :/ read more

The egussi was cooked to perfection and the customer service ( waitress) was polite. I will definetely go back.

Kemi's Kitchen is authentic and amazing! My boyfriend is Nigerian and he vouched for the amazing quality and authenticity of this Arlington gem... If you are looking to venture outside of the norm and looking for quality African food in the Arlington area... This is the place for you! :) read more

Great hot food.. almost better than my dad's.. lol.. They are amazing and so courteous! Awesome seasonings!

Chicken and rice and plantain was good. My friend got the egusi and fufu. Very flavorful. Service was good. Food took a little longer than would like since I was hungry, but if it's fresh then it's worth it. Will return. read more

Been to Kemi's a few times with my husband...we enjoy the food...I always get the fried rice, tilapia (that red sauce is sooo good), plantains & moi moi...they are always respectful & courteous...oh & the meat pies are delicious kinda reminds me of empanadas read more

Amazing food!! We did have to fetch our own menus and napkins, but none of that mattered because the food was so good. The meat pie was one of the best I've ever had -- definitely would recommend! read more

3.5 stars. This does not really cater to non-Nigerians, which is sad. Food was very good and pretty authentic, maybe too authentic. Large portions, somewhat friendly staff and plenty of room if you are coming with a large group. Could use improving in the customer relations area. read more

Oh my GOD..... The food taste different every single time u order. There is not a consistant recipe. The fufu tastes exactly like instant mashed potatoes in the yellow box from walmart. Ur always hoping that they will get it right one day, and stick to a simple recipe. If u ask for an extra addition to ur meal be ready to get some slop. My fish was so bad, it smelt like vomit. I had been eating at the restaurant for eight year. The food has just recently gone down hill. I don't know weather they have new people cooking. If u order something just take it the way they make it or you will be in the hospital. They need a recipe, and customer taste test.HELP!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Awesome customer service and the girl that picks up the phone for orders is always sweet I just wish the would give me more stew I like to engulf my amala or Iyan in stew.... every meal I've ordered to go has been on point ! read more

I came here today for some amazing West African cuisine. We ordered the fufu with okra and goat and jollof rice with chicken and plantains. The food was AMAZING. Brought back memories of my childhood when I would go to my friends house and they would feed us all of the Nigerian dishes that I grew to love. I need to try to chinchin next time though. read more

Delicious food! I love the jollof rice, suya was good but super spicy. However,customer service was horrible!

This is our favorite African Restaurant in the whole of Dallas Metroplex. My Wife and I are have been visiting and buying food from here for the past five years. The food is incredibly delicious and the staff are very professional with great service. We would indeed recommend this restaurant to potential customers visiting within and outside Dallas. The Owners are very humble, nice people and are very concern about customer satisfaction. read more
