I was hungry for some delicious food and you just never go wrong with African food. You can't. So…read moremany flavors you just cannot. Lol So I stumbled upon this one from my local yelpers and was so happy. The parking was easy to get to as it's in a plaza near Kroger. The inside is very spacious and lots of culture. The staff and even customers make you feel so at home. I felt like I knew these people all my life. Now the food!! Listen. I have left and came back to get a second round for me and my family. I purchased the plasava and the dry rice and fish. These women can cook! It was the best spinach I ever had in my life. I'm not even exaggerating - Ratatouille style. Bought back the childhood tastebuds lol So excited to have stumbled upon this place I will be coming here from now on! .

The food was delicious and not too spicy for my palate. That was a relief. I had the fish stew (red…read moresauce) with rice. As for the ambiance, it was very casual, similar to a sports bar (TVs and music). The food took a little extra time, but it was worth the wait, and the server was both pleasant and apologetic.

The dry rice and fish it's self was not flavorful at all! The fish was extremely dry and tasted old. The sauce on top helped add some flavor , the spicy pepper sauce was extremely good wish I had more of that. I also ordered okra sauce as well,that had smoked turkey ,chicken and fish. The smoked turkey meat they used was VERY overwhelming and I could not eat any of it. I was super disappointed because okra sauce is my favorite thing to eat when eating African food. The lady that took my order was really nice, and inside of the restaurant seemed like a cool spot to have drinks and eat inside.

This was my 1st time tasting Liberian food. The food is very flavorful. I'm not too familiar with…read moreAfrican food so I don't have much to compare, but the food was well prepared, and tasted really good. I ordered the grilled wings and it wasn't salty. The spice they give with the wings is SPICY (I should have asked for more)!!! The fried plantains are sweet plantains and it taste like they add sugar to it (I didn't like that very much). I LOVED the cassava leaves (I wished I had some of that spicy sauce to add to it). I didn't like the rice, but that's more of my personal preferences (it was just plain white rice, but it was the big thick rice. I like Jasmine Rice or madam gougousse). I would be open to trying something new on the menu or returning back here !

Located in a strip mall, the restaurant is pretty unassuming, though many great restaurants are…read more When you walk in, there's almost a nightclub vibe inside. Very dark and not many traditional tables and chairs. I came around lunch time and there were quite a few ladies in beautiful traditional dress (it was Christmas Eve). I had called ahead and ordered takeout and when I walked in I was promptly acknowledged. Food arrived in the quoted time (25 minutes). Nigerian cuisine is not one I'm incredibly familiar with, but I have tried many of the standard dishes. Today I went with White Rice and Red Stew, which comes with plantains. It was delicious. Piping hot and incredibly fresh. The spice level was perfect. Just spicy enough but in no way overpowering. The plantains added a sweet element which played beautifully against the spice of the stew. The only place they lost points was the price on the website is not the price I was charged. $19 on the website and I was charged $25 but maybe they just haven't updated to reflect current prices. Regardless, I really enjoyed my food and can't wait to go back and try some other dishes. Edit: Take note, it doesn't say "The Island Grill" on the sign. It says "The African Grill."

This place is a joke! I walk in at 15 minutes before close to here, "we don't serve fried food 30…read moreminutes before closing". Seriously you are a joke! You know nothing about serving customers in the restaurant industry. Every real restauranteur knows the at 1 minute to close you are full service. Lost a customer for life! I also tip very well especially close to closing so counter dude that offered baked chicken or oxtails instead of my fried catfish list atleast $20 because I respect good service late. But whatever you'll be closed in a year no doubt

My first time trying Egusi and Fufu and it was so so delicious! The Egusi soup was so flavorful and…read morecomforting. The flavor was tomatoey with a bit of heat. The side of Fufu was a must. The pounded yam was smooth and not too thick. I had fun scooping up the Egusi in the Fufu with my hands. Both together was an enjoyable flavor and texture combo. The Beef Suya was good as well, a nice meat appetizer. The beef was cooked well done which some people may not like, but I enjoyed it since I grew up eating my steak that way. It paired very well with the spice blend and raw onions. I also had the Ghanaian Jollof Rice and that was not my most favorite dish due to the flavor. Not my cup of tea, but the rice was cooked well. I also liked the side plantains. The interior is nicely ornate and comfy. The service here was also super great and my assigned server was very personable. I genuinely enjoyed my conversation with her and she did well giving me recommendations and directions as a first timer for this type of food. Overall, I had a great experience here and would come back again!

Stumbled upon this while doing a search for Nigerian food specifically Jollof rice. At the time of…read morethis writing I was starting to give up hope on my search for quality like home Nigerian food in Atlanta. I've tried Ike's (not impressed), Little Lagos (trash), Cafe Songhai (OK), Toyin (not consistent). I decided to take a chance on this place because of the menu. I checked out their Instagram and saw some activity and pictures so I said why not? Pricing was reasonable. Customer service was BEYOND. My contact person was Yemisi and not only is she courteous but very pleasant and communicative from time of order placed to delivery. There is a delivery fee of $15. Pickup is in Gwinnett county area if wanting to avoid the delivery fee. When you place your order plan for a 2-3 day window for delivery. Packaging was EXCELLENT. Slight spillage from the stew but it's inevitable and overall packaging was great. I loved the baked goods especially the sausage roll and scotch eggs which packed a kick in heat with the spice level of the sausage. I appreciated that. I love spicy food. It was a slow burn (like black pepper spice not habanero peppers spice) so don't think it's spicy. Sausage rolls 5/5 just look at the beauties in the picture and they taste so good Meat pies 4/5 the filling is very soft like a baby could eat it but I loved the crust. I'm a fan of ground meat but not minced meat if that makes sense. Flavor was great though. Jollof rice 4/5 I was expecting more spice. I would order this again but request more heat. If you top it with the goat meat stew this will also help. Goat meat stew My favvvvv! So good. The type of stew you would find at Nigerian parties and weddings etc. Sooo good, spicy and flavorful and the meat was tenderrrr like I love. Would order this again and again and again in a heartbeat. Scotch eggs The showstopper! Listen I LOVE Scotch eggs and the way they made these. Let me tell you right now, hands down, the BEST Scotch eggs I've had the pleasure of eating. Sooooo good! The crunch of the exterior, the slow heat/slow burn of the sausage surrounding the perfectly boiled egg. WOW!!!!

I went in and he had already gotten us a table. Our server came over pretty quickly and took our drink orders. I wanted to taste some authentic African beer. My friend suggested an Orijin or a Trophy Premium Lager beer. I ordered the Trophy Lager and my friend ordered the Orijin. I later found out his drink was not an actual beer, but some kind of mixture of alcohol flavored with African herbs and fruits. We took a small taste of each other's drinks. Mine tasted like a standard lager, really. We reviewed the menu and I described what I had a taste for. My friend suggested that I get the Jollof Rice with Chicken, and that's what I ordered. He ordered the Pounded Yam with Egusi soup. My food came out quickly. My friend's order took longer than expected, but he told me to go ahead and start eating, so I did not wait. The food was very good, well seasoned, and had a nice spice kick. My friend's dish came out about 15 minutes later. It must have been a specialty item since it took so long. Once it arrived, he enjoyed it, even though I think he had ordered it before. The restaurant was a little empty, with just a few other patrons inside. While we enjoyed lunch, we listened to some good, authentic Afrobeats music in the background. I even Shazamed a couple of songs while we were sitting there. They also had an area set up with an Instagramable photo wall and a DJ booth. The restaurant itself was very clean and they also had a full bar. I will definitely come back to try some other authentic menu options.
