Kendejah is a Liberian restaurant serving traditional West African dishes. As someone from West…read moreAfrica, I grew up eating this type of food and still cook and enjoy it at home, so I'm very familiar with the flavors and authenticity. The menu changes daily, which I appreciate because it reflects how we actually cook back home -- different dishes on different days. However, they also keep certain staple items available consistently, which is helpful if you're craving something specific. I did order Togo cassava, leaf, and jollof rice with a box of jar of pepper. I have visited this place over 10 times so the this review is long time coming. I understand that the restaurant may adjust recipes slightly to appeal to a broader demographic, not just Africans, and that can affect the depth of flavor and seasoning. With that being said, while the food is good and represents Liberian cuisine, it doesn't fully capture the richness I'm used to from traditional home cooking. Overall, I appreciate having a Liberian restaurant in the area and respect the effort to share the culture through food.

I was feeling adventurous and stopped in here after dropping my brother off at OAK…read more There's one (true) vegetarian/vegan option- the Jallof rice combo. The other veg option contains fish powder. The girl working didn't seem too pleased I didn't know the menu. I felt a bit like an imposition.... She was kind enough to walk over to the kiosk to show me what my options were. I'm glad she did because I other sis would have ordered the only other veg option which unfortunately has fish powder. The setting inside was very causal and felt a bit like a hole in the wall. There was soccer playing on a big screen which made the space feel very cozy like you're hanging out in their living room. The food itself (I'm sorry!!) was meh.... And I'm the kind of vegan who is happy eating the beans & rice of pretty much any culture. The rice was... reminiscent of Uncle Ben's or school lunch rice, the saucey stuff was just really oily and didn't have much savory flavor, the fried plantains were standard. For $22, I don't feel like this was money well spent BUT to be fair, it became evident to me this is a place you want to visit for the meats. The restaurant had a fishy smell to it so probably order whatever fish dish. I bet that would be what they'd recommend to a regular guest. To the vegans/vegetarians out there, there is one dish you can have but I'd skip this place entirely if you aren't coming here with a group who are omnivorous.

The staff were friendly and were very attentive. Jollof rice - very flavorful and soft. The portions they gave us in general was HUGE. Not sure if the vegetables medley were frozen or fresh but they did not have that watery feel to it. It had the nice crunch. Chicken - the chicken paired well with the rice. I love how it didn't feel greasy, it tasted very clean, and juicy. Just your standard chicken, nothing bad about it. Goat egusi- this was the star of the show. The viral fufu and egusi soup. The fufu itself had a slight bitter taste but it tasted like potatoes (it is yam). Love the texture, it reminds me of the starchy Vietnamese sandwiches with the sausage. The goat in the egusi soup was sooooo tender. As a person who does not like lamb, I can eat goat. I enjoyed the greens and the sauce of the soup. We also ate it with the rice and it was delicious. We would definitely go out our way to enjoy this again!

We were greeted by a friendly woman at the counter, delicious aromas from the kitchen, and good music playing. We placed our to go order and chilled at the counter while we waited. The woman brought us waters without asking and then started chatting a bit. She was super lovely and kind. Food took about 10 minutes and the smell was killing us on the drive home. Soooo much good smell! We order the jollof rice with wings. It also came with cabbage and sweet plantains. It was so beautiful when we opened the container that I literally gasped. The taste is impeccable. The chicken is juicy and so well seasoned and the rice is pure deliciousness. Plantains and cabbage are perfect too. We'll be back and dine in for pepper soup and peanut butter soup, soon. Oh and if you like spicy, do NOT skip the side of hot sauce. It's so good. Loved it 10/10
