My meal took about 25 minutes to come out and they forgot to make my friends meal which when it came out was less than impressive plate of half cooked vegetables. The restaurant itself was pretty dingy and really not clean. There were lots of random people coming and going from the kitchen and lots of boxes piled up in the corner of the restaurant I think they do Amazon pick ups for folks. The staff was nice and friendly enough, but it would not compel me to return.

It was just room temperature really. The jerk chicken was very good and flavorful. It wasn't as spicy as some other jerk chicken dishes I have had. Don't be in a rush when you come here. I think everyone that worked there was cooking so took them a while to come back out and check on you and also to bring your check. I will try it again. Will try some other places too to see what we like.

I am a huge fan of their Egusi Soup and Fufu and I havent been to any other restaurant for that dish. African Best is where it's at! The space seems new, they have alot of room for parties and get togethers. They've recently began doing buffet nights every last Saturday of the month. The service is nice, feels very comfortable and gives you a sense of belonging into their culture and atmosphere.

It was just ok. I probably wouldn't come back. We ordered…read morethe okra soup with fufu and chicken and rice with coleslaw and plantain. The soup flavor was different and I would have been able to eat it, however, there were so many bone chips/chunks. Almost every bite I took had bone in it. I couldn't eat any more of it. The fufu was interesting. It didn't have much flavor, but my daughter loved it! That is pretty much all She ate. The chicken and rice was very good! It was very flavorful and yummy. The plantains were probably some of the best I have had. We got 2 dishes for 4 of us...2 adults and 2 kids. Had we actually eaten the soup it would have been a sufficient amount of food for all of us, so the serving sizes were generous. Just about all the dishes were $20 each. The service was pretty blah. There were teenagers working and not being very attentive. The girl that took our order and rang us up tried to drastically undercharge my husband. Good thing he is honest because he had to ask several times if that was the correct price, she finally figured it out. There was a young man who took over when she left. He was more attentive than she was. If someone wanted to come here and pay for it, I would join them, but I wouldn't choose to come here again on my own. I wanted to get a picture of the chicken and rice but I couldn't before my kids dug in.

It was a Thursday when I went in, so I tried the Thursday special of egusi, which is a seafood soup with lots of vegetables and herbs. While it was not my cup of tea, I definitely wanted to try something I knew nothing about, and I'm very happy I tried it. I also tried the fufu, and this was super interesting, and I did enjoy it. The locale is very unassuming, and the staff was friendly and helpful. I can't wait to be back in the area to try more new dishes!

It does include livers (I think that is what I ate - it does not say what the meats are when ordering), but I love all organ meats, so it was a treat for me - especially when cooked correctly and fresh). The whole dish reminded me of a comforting, home-cooked meal made with love. The portion is generous -- I will easily get 3 meals out it. Definitely will be ordering again, and I am looking forward to visiting in person soon - I had it Door dashed.

Their Cassava fries and Suya were excellent and almost filled us up before our main courses arrived. We ordered three of the not inexpensive family-style meals (Goat Curry, Oxtail Curry, and Tilapia), each of which came with 2 sides. Fair to say we took most of the entrees home. Be prepared to make an afternoon or evening of the meal. Our relaxing experience took all of 2 and a half hours!

The veggie combo was honestly my favorite--everything was perfectly seasoned, the injera was soft and fresh, and the portions were generous.

The staff was welcoming, the atmosphere was warm, and the whole experience felt like home. If you're looking to try Ethiopian food or you're already a fan, I definitely recommend Abyssinia.

Not even sure how I found it but I think it's run by a couple of sisters. Super nice service, very spacious, plenty of indoor seating, easy parking. I like that it feels open and homey. I got the Liberian Gravy w/ shrimp and the Torborgee with rice. The Liberian gravy really reminded me of a chinese egg and tomato dish. The gravy isn't like your typical brown gravy. It's more of a tomato based sauce flavored with some spices. It's pretty hard for me to describe... but it is more on the tart side as far as savory dishes go. Torborgee was more my speed. The beans were cooked to a nice soft consistency and felt nice and hearty since it was so cold outside. I loved the flavors it was cooked with beef in it which gave it an amazing heartiness. very earthy flavors. 10/10 would get again. Wish I got to try the fufu but. alas. maybe on a different trip. Got some kanyan to go. kinda like rolled balls of crunchy bits and peanut butter? or something? tasted kinda nutty, felt like it had crunchy bits of dry noodles or something w some nice spices and sugar. Was definitely an interesting snack, would get it again. oh they also make this chili paste? in house which is SOOOOOOOOOO good. reminded me of this african chili oil i had a few years back. man. would come back for that alone.

The family member waiting on us was very friendly, kind and helpful. You get a bottle of water and a banana with your meal - Somali tradition he says; we ordered chicken sugaar and tilapia plates, service and food was quick. Sugaar came with a mild curry of diced chicken sautéed with yellow rice and vegetables with a spinach/tomato soup and a nice hot sauce for dipping. The tilapia fillets came nicely coated and hot. All was good and very tasty. There is an Indian, Mediterranean and Thai blend of spices that all come together. I forget the name but the little sandwich which is filled with beef is a must try appetizer or many as a meal in themselves. This restaurant brings a new genre of food not commonly found in this area. I do recommend a stop in to try it out.
