I love this place. Everytime I come to the Post I try to make myself try a different eating spot…read morebut it never works! They always have a sample of the Golden Bowl for anyone to taste & it's absolutely my go to dish. All the ingredients work well together in this Golden Bowl. The chicken, jollof rice, veggies, the sweet of the plantain with the spice in the curry makes for a delightfully seasoned bowl. I will admit the spice made my nose run but yet I would only describe it as a "subtle" spicy dish. One day I'll try another dish but for now. That golden bowl speaks to me everytime. I had leftovers & even the next day my taste buds got happy all over again! Never had Nigerian West African food or had it somewhere else, try it here, it's delightful!! Don't forget, they have a brick & mortar restaurant in Montrose. I have been... YET!

Takeout order of Golden Bowl (added shrimp along with the chicken) and small Hibiscus tea (40$ish). Packed neatly for your home/office enjoying pleasure. The motherland curry is placed in a separate plastic container and the jollof jambalaya, curry, plantains, chicken & shrimp packed tightly like a little gift. Dish was enough for two meals; super flavorful. I'd definitely like to try them again not on a go.

We were in the area as I was dropping bae off at the airport and we were looking for something to…read moreeat before his flight. We stumbled upon this place and boy am I glad we did because the food was absolutely divine! I had the garnished tilapia with jollof rice and vegetables. Not sure what vegetables I was eating perhaps spinach but they were cooked to perfection. Bae had the garnished goat meat which was so tender and I appreciate the bite sized cuts instead of the chunky portions. I low key wished I had gotten the goat. We ended up getting a side of jollof rice because the goat meat plate did not come with any sides. I will definitely be back if I am on that side of town again. The four stars are because I wish they adjusted the spice levels. I like my food spicy and Bae who is Yoruba's spice level is not for this world! so the food wasn't as spicy to both of us as we would've liked. Service was a little bit slow, but I think it's because they do make the food fresh. Nice clean restaurant great customer service and cannot wait to be back next time I'm in humble

I tried the restaurant in Pearland and really love the oxtail pepper soup so I wanted to check out…read morethis location. Service was timely and polite. Unfortunately, this location does not have oxtail pepper soup. This location only has goat pepper soup, which is good, but not as good as the oxtail version you can find in Pearland. Also, this location did not provide rice with soup - which was another reason i didn't enjoy the meal as much. They did have the same delicious meat pies. I will likely not return to this Westheimer location since the oxtail pepper soup is my favorite thing on the menu. For those who enjoy alcohol, the Westheimer location does serve alcohol however since alcohol is not important to me, I'll be going to the Pearland location.

I placed a pickup order through DoorDash yesterday at 5:31pm and never received any food. When we…read moregot there at 6:00pm the owner said they were closed due to a catering order and that he canceled the order on DoorDash even though it said on the app that it wasn't, we went back and showed him and he assured us it wasn't canceled and then drove off. When I woke up this morning and checked DoorDash it said that the order was picked up at 7:37pm and my card was charged $60, which is honestly too much for 2 soups and 2 appetizers. Also on top of that the location was sketchy, had no visible signage, and was dirty. Would not recommend this place at all if I could give negative stars I would.

Went for dinner and it was everything I expected and more! The owners are a sweet couple who…read moreprovided great service and were very helpful with the menu. I shared the fufu with egusi soup with stewed goat added, the Stewed Hen, Moin Moin, & Jollof Rice, and the meat pie with a friend and it was plenty for both of us. The fufu with egusi soup was super delicious with a spicy kick that I loved (7/10) . The plate was the star of the meal. Everything from the stewed hen, to the rice, to the greens were all so well seasoned and I truly enjoyed every bite (8.5/10). The meat pie was also delicious with a savory filling and the pastry was thick and buttery but surprisingly not overbearing considering the pastry to filling ratio (8/10). Overall the food was awesome and seemed quite authentic. Would definitely come back to support this small local business!

I canNOT believe what I have been missing!!! I tried the egusi soup with pounded yam and was literally floored by how good it was. I brought some home for my wife and kids and they all loved it. I've been back several times since. Unfortunately I NEVER see anyone in there so I hope they are getting enough service to stick around. I've had their jerk wings as well as their jollif rice and all of it is amazing. The restaurant itself is simple and the staff friendly.

It was my first time trying African food. I had sent my mom to go pick up the order, and she waited…read morefor about 20-30ish minutes. I ordered the egusi soup & okra soup with yam fufu and corn fufu. Very very flavorful! The egusi soup with yam fufu was my favorite. However, when I left the soups sitting out for my partner to try after coming home from work, they both somehow became a bit salty? And he wasn't able to enjoy it like how I did when it was fresh. There's not a lot of African restaurants in Cypress, but this place is definitely worth a try. Still can't get over the texture of fufu! It's so pleasant with the soups.

It had so much flavor in it mmmm! My husband loved his goat meat he didn't leave behind a single thing, cleaned the whole plate...at his fufu and then some of mine. Service/ambiance: They are the sweetest people you'll ever meet. It was obvious we didn't know anything about the menu and several people approached us to help us get something they think we would like. Didn't even feel like we were eating out but instead eating at a friend's or family's house. We went a bit late so I think people were getting off work and it was clear that this place feels like home for everyone because they were coming just to hang out and eat. Such a lovely place and the best fufu I tried (after eating it I tried it at another few spots just for the comparison - no one could compare).

Oooooooh sweet mother of pearl! I stumbled on a gem today! Afrikiko is on fire (though the door was…read moreopen so it was kinda chilly)!!!! From the minute I walked in, I knew that the odds would most likely be in my favor. First of all there are two huge portraits of the female proprietess and her husband flanking the cash register, in full Asante regalia. Which totally made me feel like I was in someone's living room looking at their mantle, versus at a restaurant. But it added a touch of culture and a huge sense of pride. There was a older man waiting for food, staring at the big screen tv, DANCING to the music. This is a great sign! Do you know how good this food is about to be, because I do, if it makes Papa DANCE!!! Oh yeah, I was getting excited. There was a fridge stocked FULL TO THE BRIM and spilling over onto the floor of every soda, both American and African, plus several types of beer. To me this read as "yup, you gone be thirsty after this FIYAHHHHHH"! And they weren't wrong! My food came out piping hot, relatively quickly, and paired with warm water for hand washing! Not every African restaurant is this traditional, so I again, knew it was about to go down!!!!! I would get into a lengthy description of the groundnut soup but that would waste more of your time reading, instead of driving, STRAIGHT TO Afrikiko!!! I will say that the side of spinach that I requested was so smooth and tomatoey and robust with flavor, that I was thoroughly surprised. I was expecting just a side of sautéed spinach, maybe a bit of onion or garlic, but that damn spinach was soooooo good I almost licked the bowl. If I could give 10 stars I would! This place will make me drive from Dallas yall! And you should too! Worth every single penny I spent! Thanks Afrikiko!

Such a delicious meal in every single bite with each bite being full of moisture and consistency too. The drumsticks had a slightly crispy exterior, really tender flesh, very juicy to almost falling off the bone feel to them. They were cooked thoroughly without being dried or burnt. That spicy, oily red sauce was so aromatic with just enough kick to it. It wasn't creamy, but not too watery either. The Jollof rice was smoky, savory, buttery and a little spicy. The greens had a subtle ingredient in them and complimented the rest with some earthiness, while the plantains were like a mini dessert. The plantains were very good with a really soft, creamy texture, good warmth and natural sweetness. The service was very welcoming, friendly and efficient. This poultry dish is a real treat every time with every flavor profile in play satisfying multiple pallets.

Food took about 15 minutes as they weren't busy so there was no long wait. I ordered non spicy level but received spicy since it wasn't yet available. Thankfully it was a tolerable level. Every bite was tasteful and I loved the sweetness & firmness of the plantains. I will visit again to try the goat & oxtail next time.

UPDATE: I was finally able to visit this restaurant in…read moreperson. I read the reviews but wasn't deterred by the negative comments since my food delivery experience was positive. I walked into the clean, chilled ambiance building and felt completely lost. I had no idea that it's a contactless experience. The order must be placed electronically prior to arriving or at a kiosk upon arrival. Once you've placed your order and paid for it, you take a seat and wait to be notified via text message. When your food is ready, your text message will direct you to a locker number which will go to and unlock by clicking on a link provided in your text message. Thankfully, there was a kind Harris County Deputy who was also visiting for the first time and patiently worked with me to make sure I was able to place my order. I think the concept is innovative here in the U.S. (been going on in Asian countries) and could really take off. However, there should be available signs with directives posted both outside and inside of the building. The food was just as delicious as it was the first time. Please don't let the negative reviews deter you from giving this restaurant a try.

I usually order the jollof rice, efo riro, and egusi soup, and every single dish is rich, bold, and deeply satisfying. It was so good the first time that I came back again the very next week. Every visit I spend no less than $50 because I can't help but order all my favorites. The flavors are that good. There's a lovely woman in the kitchen preparing these dishes with so much care and authenticity, and you can truly taste it in every bite. If you're looking for a genuinely, expertly prepared West African meal, this is the place. I say this as someone who lives between Houston and New York, has traveled all over the world, and has eaten at many Michelin-rated restaurants. I know good food, and this food is amazing.

Bursting with flavor in every bite! Came to the Michelin recognized ChopnBlok with my family and we…read moreall loved it. We came during happy hour and were able to try a bunch of different plates. I assume that the happy hour portion sizing is little smaller than the non-happy hour dishes, but I could be wrong. We ordered the Polo Club Suya, Meat Pie Minnies, Coconut Chicken Bites, Golden, Buka, and Black Star. I believe happy hour is M-F, 3-6:30PM Not to be a chicken nugget girl, but I will say that the Coconut Chicken Bites were one of my favorite dishes that night. The chicken was sooo tender and perfectly fried. I don't think I really tasted much coconut though, but still yummy regardless! I also really enjoyed the Meat Pie Minnies and the Polo Club Suya! The pastry pie is so delicious and the Polo Club Suya was packed with flavor. Wished the meat was just a tad more tender, but awesome for the taste buds. Service was great as well - even though it was busy, the staff was still attentive and I felt like our food came out in a timely manner. Interior vibes gave ethnic wine bar feel. It's clean, well decorated, with music flowing. Would recommend to street park for free. There is a valet but the lot is packed. Would not even recommend driving into the parking lot, just street park and walk over.
