Babyyyy when I tell you the food was dank!!! First of all there are only about four African restaurants in all of Austin, this one being one of the newest that I've seen! I was so excited to try it out. The service was decent, but the food was absolutely phenomenal. The young man who was working gave me amazing suggestions to try something new and I was thoroughly pleased! The okra was spicy and slimy with tons of seafood to boot!!! Try the wheat as supposed to traditional fufu for a lighter more nutrient rich option, as they do not have plantain fufu. Overall very clean, well lit, friendly, spicy, healthy, and delicious! Will definitely be back. Thank you Palatable!!!! read more

Palatable Nigerian Cuisine - Seafood Okra Soup with Chicken and wheat - African Near Me - Austin, Texas

Usually will order the Swallow, Peppered Pomo, Goat and/or Fish. The food tastes well, they only give you one piece of Pomo though unless you order the entire dish of Pomo, which in my opinion, is overpriced. 3/5 due to serving size of dishes as well as the overpriced small portions. read more

They've got the best Egusi stew I've tried! It is packed with flavor and you get a huge portion of it. I actually prefer just the stew no meat, yes it's that good. The service here is very hit or miss and the prices differ from what's displayed. I really hate that! I've never been given a receipt here but I do know I was charged different prices for the exact same order. I want to LOVE this place because the food is so good but I just need them to fix that pricing! On another note there is a little girl who sometimes works the front register and she is the sweetest thing in the world! She's a future boss you can see it in her eyes! Too cute! read more

I recently tried this spot for the first time and ordered Zobo and Chapman--both were absolutely perfect! The flavors took me right back home, and the drinks were ready within just a couple of minutes. Even though it was a kitchen and to-go situation, I was really impressed. No comments on the ambience. I'm already looking forward to coming back and sampling some of their actual meals next time! read more

Wonderful, wonderful food. I have an ever lasting passion to try food that's entirely less known in Austin and this place is so underrated and too less experienced. A hidden gem indeed because even the building has no storefront signage. The mother was so welcoming. I simply told her I want to try multiple things even if I'm not familiar. her eyes lit up and asked the right questions to get down to what I was in the mood for and what they could whip up. It felt very personable. She recommended for me, asaro yam porridge with chicken stew and goat elegusi with fufu. The food was so delicious so warming. Everything was cooked well and tender, the porridge was the most flavorful porridge I've ever tasted it's sweet, soften but hearth yam and peppery creamy reduction of flavor. The elegusi had bits of fish, meats, spinach, melon, topped with tender goat meat stew. Fufu served piping hot and soaks up the soup perfectly in every sweep of the fingers. I got two entrees for myself which my leftovers were equally enjoyed by the boyfriend. Hospitality was great, you felt well taken care of and anyone that was dining in and going out was so satisfied, proud to have found such a hidden gem for their friends and family. Highly recommend, Beatrice and her daughter are very talented cooks. They truly do justice in serving Nigerian food on the pedestal that I deserves like all other cuisines in Austin. I'll be back with folks read more

On this beautiful weekend in Austin, our dinner destination was chosen to be at Palate-able Nigerian. We got greeted warmly and seated right away. Asked for suggestion and we settled on these: peppered snails, jollof rice, yam porridge, Ewa Agoyin, and goat meat. Ewa Agoyin is black eye pea stew and sauce and meat. Jollof rice came with chicken and rice is very tasty tomato flavor. Peppered snails was spicy dish but tolerable. We had left overs for another meal. One thing I just wanted to point out is the meat was a bit tough to chew. Overall, the kids approved tasty food and unique experience. We will be back to experience other dishes next time. read more

I love supporting black owned businesses and I have been wanting to come here for a while. So let's get into this review. Upon arrival it was very hard to tell who was in charge.. I saw kids at the register and people just hanging around. They have open seating and a bar areas. I sat myself down and after a few minutes of waiting a young girl came to take my order. I can tell this is a family owned business as the young girls at the register appeared to be sisters or cousins. My order took a very long time to come out,almost 30 mins... I ordered amala and gbegiri, stew and ewedu with an assortment of meats. The food was delicious, however the meats could be more tender... This restaurant has a lot of potential but they need to improve on the wait time and the ambiance. read more

I have visited Palatable twice and both times I have gotten the beef and jollof because it's so good. The jollof's bold flavors with the plantains is my favorite. The suya spices is so spicy but I love it! Next time I go I would like to try the vegetable stew. read more

NIGERIAN APPROVED. Food alone is 10 stars! The Jollof rice is correct party rice. The egusi soup is delish. The meat pie (when they have it) 100/10. And the stews are really good. I will say the meat is sometimes too tough for my liking, I don't like to wrestle with my meat but I know some Nigerians do lol. The owner is very friendly and always makes an effort to greet us and get us beverages. I go out of my way to come patronize them. I will say to expect Nigerian time when it comes to the wait . read more

I ordered my food Togo and the quality wasn't great. The fufu was hard and dry. I ordered the egusi, efo riro and okra soup; everything was super fishy and salty. read more

Finally Austin has an amazing Nigerian Place that serves true authentic Nigerian delicacies. Stumbled upon this gem of a place and loved everything we ordered (suya, fried meat with jollof rice, seafood okro, pounded yam). Jollof rice has that smoky flavor and perfect level of spice and herbs! A must visit whenever I am in this part of the city. read more

Palatable Nigerian Cuisine - Special Seafood Okra Soup - African Near Me - Austin, Texas

No thank you. Over priced, under delivered. Restaurant was dirty and loud. And the food was awful.

Finally, a place with great Nigerian food in Austin. I loved the Jollof rice, it was smoky and very tasty, the best I've had in the Austin area. The ambience was airy and bright with great Nigerian music filling the room from the TV. Not the fanciest, but certainly functional and inspiring trust in the sanitation of the kitchen. I can't wait to come back to try other items on the menu. read more

Sorry, first 3 choices off the menu were out. Lots of tripe, though. But...we both wanted goat. Also a strong perfume smell, to cover up the smell of sewage?? read more

Very good Nigerian food! This restaurant has friendly service and it did get busy. I had the egusi soup with chicken and it was amazing!

I've been searching for a Nigerian restaurant for a while that has really good food. I'm not sure who is in the kitchen, but they need to stay there LOL the food tastes fresh, nice and spicy, has been the best I've had in Austin! I got the tilipia, jollof rice and chicken, and soup delivered, I'll definitely be back and will be more than happy to recommend them! read more

Delicious smoky jollof with amazing fish! As soon as we walked in, we were greeted and made to feel at home! The food was prepared quickly and given accurate assessment of the wait time. We couldn't have been more pleased! Oh and we also had beef suya which was standard for US suya but not village suya. Still delish! We definitely will be back for more! read more

This pace is not it , the red sauce is oily and the bathroom has no lights and the floor is always wet in the hallway going to bathroom

I am african and was so happy to get this recommendation to come here but the food! I am so glad, I never took my caucasian husband hear because he would officially hate african food. It is over priced, small portions, and the worst african food ever. I had jallof rice and eugusi. read more

This place is a hidden gem! I love the food and the lady making the food is very friendly. Get ready to eat with your hands.

Waited 1 hour after ordering for food arrive. Service needs much improvement. Food is over priced for the quality and quantity you get. I would not highly recommend but if you must go I'd suggest ordering takeout. read more
