She answered all of our questions and even provided us with some complimentary samples of their in house made sorrels Food: I am not African but 2 of my friends were and they ordered some other items off of the menu ( fufu, soup, puff puff , fish meal and of course Jollof rice) I was going to order Jollof but they said it would be a 20 minute wait as they were waiting for a new fresh pot to finish cooking. I tried their Meat pie (~$3) (not pictured) and would give it a 5/10. It was filling but I felt like it could have used more meat and some kind of sauce. The ginger juice (pictured below) was also delicious and refreshing. There's plenty of seating area so this is a place you can dine in or takeout. But they recommend calling ahead to make sure they have the food available / ready to serve. Parking: The owner's daughter mentioned there was parking around the back near the tax business. All in all, I will come back to try an actual meal.

I've been on a quest to get back to the roots and eat some African food! I'm glad that I was able…read moreto eat at Soul of Africa after being highly recommended. Let me start by saying this, do not expect high levels of customer service. When I arrived, they were having some issues with POS system. I waited several mins prior to someone speaking to me and asking to take my order. Nonetheless, the gentleman here was t super talkative but was nice. Okay onto the food. If there one thing to take away from this review: BE CAREFUL WITH THE HIGH SAUCE. This not American high sauce, this shit is no joke. Try a dab before you sprinkle it onto your food or it could potentially ruin your meal. Jallof Rice - I thought it would have been a little bit more flavorful but it was tasty Red Snapper - BOMB! Cooked to perfection I would 100% order again Plantains (not show ) - also delicious. I'd definitely Rec commend and I look forward to going back and trying some other authentic African dishes.

The Cassava leaf soup that I purchased had one piece of hard chicken for the entire small container, too much Palm oil and the spices were overwhelming to make up for being taken advantage of via lack of. I'm pissed, disappointed and I will make it known that the food now sucks, they will nickel and dime you for things that was at one time included like beef, goat meat etc.

The flavor of the egusi was very unique and something I've never had before. It was spicy, nutty, and filled with umami flavor. I could not stop eating it! The chicken leg inside was SO tender and delicious. It was a generous portion as well, I was able to share it with my bf and we still had leftovers for the day after (both the fufu and the egusi). As for the chicken suya bowl, I believe we had the jollof rice with plantains, chicken, and cabbage and onions with suya suya sauce. The jollof rice was seasoned and flavorful. The chicken was tender and brought a bit of a kick. The suya suya sauce was mild but creamy and paired well with the cabbage and inions. The plantains were a bit sweet but they were tasty and helped cut a bit of the oil. I would definitely recommend this place and would come back to try other dishes. So good!

OMG she has let this place go down hill. We enter to pick our food up and the whole place is filled with boxes and stacks of paper magazines etc. it looks like storage or something, you can not even approach the counter to pay bc there are tubs and boxes stacked up. if you been here you know you can see into the kitchen through a small window and let me tell you the dishes were stacked to the ceiling. Looks like she needs some help getting her business back in order and cleaned up.

Parking…read moresituation, one-way streets, stuff in proximity and the locale being pretty close to the river seems to point to that. Kind of felt the need to put that out there, it's not really a suburban location. That said, echoing some of the others I'm reading snippets of, WOW to everything - the service, the food, the ambiance. It's got charm when you walk in, looks old but not dated. The waitstaff is super friendly, has some jokes, multi-talented (they brought out the guitar a few times to wish some other folks happy birthday), and knowledgeable. The food is really good - everything I tried was just delicious. For the table, we ordered some calamari and empanadas, and both were good. Drinks were also tasty - that sangria was really good, and the mojito (love that they had it available, first of all!) was also a hit. I would double-click on that sangria, though. For my entree, I ordered their whole fish, which was not only delicious but HUGE. I ate about half of it and was full. Then my friend and I split an order of limoncello cake (I think that's what it was), which was on point, and ended w/ espresso, also good. Overall, everything about that place was great, and when I mentioned a Spanish place in Trenton the next morning to some guys I was with, one of them asked, was it Malaga? That was just another great review, for a local guy to know what I was talking about just by description. Bravo, I think some of us may be back sometime!

That lobster was fresh, tender, and actually cooked right, not rubbery like you get in a lot of places. Service was dialed in without being overbearing. Drinks stayed full, timing was on point, and it felt relaxed the whole time. The ambiance has that classic, comfortable vibe where you can actually enjoy the meal instead of feeling rushed. Walked out full and already thinking about coming back. Definitely a spot I'd bring people to when I want to impress without overthinking it.
