My Spot!!! They being shorting everybody on them greens lately though lol. Still worth the dollar though.

I didn't expect fantastic customer service, being that there is a cultural difference, but I did expect to be respected! I am a black American and I came here with my friend who is from Africa. The waitress Priscilla, asked where we were from and I stated that I was African American and was born in America and she frowned her face up in disgust and I told her to get the stereotypes out her mind and that my boyfriend is African. Then my meal was brought with meat *that was my fault* and she catches an attitude when asked if I could have it served with fish or without the meat and the food wasn't hot. People should learn to treat people accordingly and not based on what they have been fed or seen on social outlets. I've noticed a recurring pattern with ppl who migrate to America, there seems to be hatred towards the African Americans, just don't forget that if it was not for the African Americans, foreigners would not be allowed in America. This country was built on the backs of African Americans! Overall, I have had better service, treatment, and food at Motherland Cuisine and if they didn't close at 6:30 pm on Fridays I would have eaten there! P.s. reading my old reviews I do realize now my first experience here was better then my last!!! read more

The food has never been a miss. The potato greens and fried whole croaker being my favorite dish. The Pepper soup with Fufu, is a blessing on a cold day. My family has sampled most everything on the menu without complaint. So why the three stars? The customer service is non existent. I usually dine in and there has never been a time where I haven't witnessed someone complain about the service. My mother and I visited yesterday waited for our food for a good 30 minutes, which is fine because it comes out hot and fresh, this is not a fast food restaurant so that is to be expected no complaints there. Our came out without two items. My mom knows the ropes when visiting so she placed the fish order twice. No fish. The waitress who is usually on call moves at a snails pace. It is actually astonishing to sit and experience how she moves about. I watched her clean a table (2 minutes) ask us if we needed anything, take someones order who was irritated by the lack of service, clean another table (5 mins) before putting in the order for the irritated man. I wanted to stay and observe if she got his order right but had to leave. Bottom line, the food is good the customer service is HORRIBLE and I don't think they are going to change that because we keep coming back. My family and I are looking for another location to patronize based only on the lack of customer service we have experienced and seen others experience. read more

i love zoewees. the customer service could use some work but i always do take out anyway. the fish combo is a generoussss helping and when you add the spicy pepper sauce, it makes it pop. the cassava leaf is also a great sized portion. i would eat here multiple times a week if it wouldn't break my bank read more

Get Potato Greens and Cassava Leaf and some fufu. It's going to change your life ! My food has never been wrong or nasty been coming here about 4 years read more

I had been picking up orders here from a while. It's located in a little plaza that is easy to pass and the restaurant itself it nothing to look at but the food had always been good and consistent. One thing to also note is unlike any other African/ Liberian restaurants, they do not change the meat. They only cook with smoked Turkey and chicken. I am not sure it the reason for this is to save themselves cost but it never really bothered me but just something to note. I hadn't ordered from here for a couple of months and did so today. First of all, I know that everything and everyone charges more for everything these days but their online menus need to be updated and to reflect that. The meals were $10.99 a couple of months ago and now $13.96. When I asked the women on the phone the total, I was a little thrown back but proceeded with the order since I was craving palm butter . I will say I was very disappointed today with the food. It was extremely salty and pretty much inedible. I am not sure if they have a new cook but I saw a couple of more recent reviews say the same thing. I now hate to say that I am not interested in paying more for inedible salty food so today was my last order with this restaurant and in the hunt for a new African restaurant that I like and is consistent. I have a hard time finding a consistent one in Charlotte. read more

Love love love some good good cassava leaf! I recommend this restaurant to anyone, my best friend introduced me to zowees and said they had jelluf rice and many other things so I had to go back and try it again! There wasn't a line and the score was 90 which I don't understand why because the restaurant was clean as hell! Go and try them they're delicious!! read more

Zoewee's Restaurant - African Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

The only place to get cassava and potato greens and rice. Seasoned rice is my fav, Always hot and quickly made. Authentic and will always be fresh. read more

I'm from Togo residing in Baltimore, Maryland and I've travelled to Charlotte, NC to get away. I googled "Best African restaurant in Charlotte, and Zoewee's Restaurant popped up. I would say it's the best decision to eat I've made to eat. The food is so good and abundant, they give you so much food you would think they're closing tonight. Lol I had an excellent experience, I think my mouth and stomach didn't get enough. Lol read more

Awesome Food! A group of our office randomly decided to stop by this place today. Don't let the simple dining room fool you... The food is complex and is definitely home made 100%! I've never had Liberian food, but wow, they do it right! The guy who sat us, understood that we didn't have a clue what to order so he brought us a free little sampler of some of their dishes. After a few bites I knew exactly what to get! Potato Greens with Rice! They definitely work at a slower pace there so don't expect a 20 minute lunch... Plan on being there for at least an hour... 5 Stars! read more

FOOD IS AMAZING. Authentic Liberian cooks. Sometimes the wait is quite long. So call it in...

Great food and customer service! I would highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for home-cook, flavorful & authentic food!

I loved the food. The palm butter was perfect. I had it with fufu. And the cassava leaf and white rice was also cooked perfectly. I see others had different experiences. I am happy with my food and plan on going back again soon. As a Liberian who grew up on this food, it met my expectations. I highly reccomend it. read more

Went for a bookclub meeting to discuss a book based on an African family...have been back monthly for Cassava Stew with Rice and Fried Fish. So much flavor. read more

Another of my favorite restaurants in charlotte. This food is up there with any fancy uptown dining establishment but they keep the food affordable due to low overhead. If you go to restaurants just for amazing food and don't like paying an extra 15 dollars to your bill to subsidize the location then this place is for you! read more

I tried Zoewee's for the first time today. I ordered the jollof rice and also ordered the potato greens. I was skeptical at first, memories of the Late Great Capitola making these meals that I loved but this place was recommended and I gave it a try. I am so glad that I did. The food was great, the service was fine and I will definitely be back for more. read more

Absolutely LOVE! I go here at least every 2 weeks. The Cassava leaf is very delicious! I plan on trying more food items soon. Would highly recommend read more

If you've ever had the opportunity to travel and enjoy Africa, the wait time will not raise an eyebrow. Service is culturally appropriate and the food is well worth the wait, so chill out fast food craved foodies. The food is presented clean and simple. Servings are gigantic and can easily feed 2 adults. Be sure to sample the plantains, jollof rice and okra stew-- however, everything I've tasted thus far has made my tummy very happy. read more

I have been going to Zoewee's for years. I have suggested this restaurant to numerous people. The food, excluding the fish is excellent. However, the service leaves a lot to be desired. Extensive wait time even if you call the order in 20 minutes ahead. There has been on a few occassions that I was not charged correctly. They are happy to fix the mistakes but how about not over charging. I just wish they would get it together. read more

I am a frequent customer here at Zowees. I used to come weekly however, lately it just doesn't seem to be a great value. The food generally taste well. I have ordered, Potato Greens, Casava Leaf, Fish/plantains, Fish Gravy and seasoned rice(which is exceptional). No pork in any of their dishes. I just feel like if you compare their prices to other ethnic spots in town you really aren't getting your money's worth. Barely any meat and possibly the smallest foil containers around. There are a few African restaurants popping up so they may start to feel the competition. read more

This is authentic Liberian food, I recommend the cassava leaf if it is available. The restaurant is basic but the food is good and spicy if you need it to be, ask for extra pepper. read more

Zoewee's has the best food I've had in a long time!! The food is always fresh and the portions are plentiful. I'm not big on spicy foods, but the seasonings are always on point here! I don't know what I'm going to do when I move and can't get to this place!! I do know that Zoewee's will be at the top of my list of thing to do when I visit the QC!! read more

Food is awesome please try the potatoe leaf one con I didn't like was when the gentleman seen myself and my gf standing up he insisted that we must sit down read more

I love everything about this place. The music in the background is nice, the people are nice, and the food is EXCELLENT! If you're not too familiar with African food, try the potatoe greens with corned beef rice, or the fish and plantains. Sooooo good! They're pepper soup is good too. read more

Perhaps this is a cultural matter. We came because of the great reviews. However, as we entered the establishment, the person at the counter did not seem interested in our business. No greetings, no eye contact, no invitation to order or sit down. No thank you. We left. read more

Don't go here expecting anything for atmosphere. There isn't any. You're here for good cheap food. Great flavor combinations. Flavors that I haven't had anywhere else in Charlotte. I'd come back for sure to try some other dishes. read more

As a Liberian and a chef I'm very picky about Liberian food. This place did not let me down. I had the fufu & soup and tried some of the palava sauce & rice my mom ordered. Both were great! I gave it 4 stars because the service is VERY slow. I know what goes into cooking Liberian food and I know how a restaurant kitchen works and there's no excuse for all the lag time. Every one is very nice though. Definitely recommend and I'll be back the next time I'm in Charlotte! read more

This place was awful I sat and waited for over 30 minutes to get service and no one came to even greet us I even called them on the phone told them I had been waiting in their restaurant for 30 minutes for service and who ever answered the phone said ohhh kay soo rude and unprofessional I support small business but you have to act right to get my money this place was AWFUL read more

Will not be returning. The rice is white and unseasoned and it's apparent that there are short cuts with some of the food. Will not return.

I love, love, love this place! I was recently introduced to Zoewee's and I can't stop going. Their authentic taste and quality can definetly wlak along side some of the home cooked Liberian dishes I have been blessed to have experience. It appears it has been some change up in workers, but as long as the food stays on point, I will continue to offer my patronage..."Potato Greens! Potato Greens! Potato Greens!" read more

I had an interesting meal here yesterday- it is a West African restaurant specializing in Liberian food. I had the potato greens on rice, fufu, and palaver sauce. The potato greens were a pungent greens stew with palm oil, chicken, beef and turkey. The food was rich, spicy (but not hot) and flavorful. Everyone in the restaurant when I was there was from Liberia. It has a very basic interior and it is in a strip mall which is kind of set back from the road, so it was not the easiest place to find. The waiter brought me a couple of samples to try before I ordered. It is not far from the Asian Corners mall. read more

I had their Pepper soup, fried fish and plantains. It was just sitting in oil as if they never drained the oil out. It was enough oil to fry another fish, oil my whole body including my hair. I dont think Inwill be going back anytime soon. My husband is from West Africa and he was even dissappointed. read more
