AfroEatz - Fried Okra Stew + Rice and Whole Fish + Fried Plantains - African Near Me - Sacramento, California

I have been wanting to try AfroEatz since they first opened last year. I finally got the pleasure of going and it did not disappoint. From the artwork you see walking up to the restaurant to the elevated interior, the pride and intention behind the space is clear. I ordered the Chicken Jollof Plate and I highly recommend trying it with a Malta. It is a very unique tasting drink that elevates this cultural experience! Everything had so much flavor down to the cabbage. I loved that they added the purple cabbage because I've never eaten it cooked before. The amount of food that is given is totally worth the price. The overall process of ordering was very easy and the service was reasonable. It's also a Black, immigrant, and woman-owned business, which makes supporting them even more meaningful. read more

AfroEatz - Jollof Rice + Chicken(Halal) - African Near Me - Sacramento, California

TLDR: Flavorful dishes, great service, and a smooth ordering system. The hibiscus drink and jollof rice are standouts. -------- I came here midday on a Sunday and was seated immediately. The interior is open and spacious with plenty of tables. You can choose any available table and scan a QR code to place your order, which makes the process simple and efficient. I ordered the following: 1. Bissap (Hibiscus) Drink: This was amazing. I loved the bold hibiscus flavor and the added spice that gave it an extra kick. I would definitely recommend starting your meal with this. 2. Egusi (with Turkey) + Fufu: The egusi had rich, satisfying flavor, and the turkey paired especially well with it. The fufu was perfect for balancing out the heaviness of the soup. They provide a water bowl so you can rinse your hands, since the fufu can get sticky, which was a thoughtful touch. 3. Jollof + Chicken Wings: Overall, this dish was very good. The jollof rice and vegetables were excellent and full of flavor. The chicken wings were my least favorite part, as they tasted slightly too salty for my preference. That said, the staff kindly brought out an extra wing since the dish normally comes with three and our group had four people, which I really appreciated. Overall, both the food and service were great. I would highly recommend this spot and would definitely come back. read more

It smelled so good when walking in! I was excited to try their food. We placed an online order at 6:30, and we waited approximately until 7:30 to receive our food. So just be cautious of your time if you're in a rush. They did also have a sign in their store saying to be aware of their wait times. However, their food for sure made up for the long wait! It was super flavorful and cooked so well. To make it even better, that portion was huge for the jollof rice plates. No wonder why it was $30+ for each meal. Decor was super beautiful inside and it was very clean. read more

I'm so glad we have an option like AfroEatz in Sacramento. The outside of the building is hard to miss with its beautiful and colorful mural. Inside is equally warm and welcoming with art all over the walls and rainbow light shining through the windows. You can choose dine in or take out options, and if you decide to dine in you my be seated with other people depending on your party size as they encourage community here. The team here is really friendly, and the whole restaurant smells delicious as soon as you walk in. They have a variety of items and they're all better shared, while they seem expensive the portions are very generous and the food is filling. If you're looking for something quick the meat pies are amazing and easy to enjoy on the go. The other options are better to sit and enjoy including jollof rice, soup and stew options, fish and chicken. There's plenty of street parking nearby so you'll be able to grab a spot and spend some time enjoying AfroEatz. It's definitely a good spot to visit with friends or small groups. read more

So. Good. My first time trying Liberian food and it did not disappoint! I've been wanting to try fufu and egusi for the LONGEST time. Everyone on TikTok around the world raves about it, and I needed a place in Sacramento that sold it. This was the spot. The flavors were amazing, the HAND PIES? MY FAVORITEEEEE. We met with the owner, Pinky, and it was so great getting the chance to speak with her and learn about the restaurant, the mural, and her intentions for the restaurant. I will say... the fufu and egusi are very hyped up on the internet, but the star dish of this whole thing?? The jollof rice plate with chicken. This was so good and could probably feed 2-3 people. The inside (and outside obviously) has beautiful artwork everywhere displaying the culture so well. Even the music goes with the entire vibe of the spot. This is a spot with communal seating so if it's a full house and you're sitting at a table of 6 with only 2 people, you might meet some new people at your table! :) read more

We always order the Egusi from Afroeats and it's usually so good, which is why this was really disappointing today. The food was extremely salty -- so salty that I couldn't even eat it and had to throw it away. Please address this. We really love the food here and order often, but this dish was overly salty and honestly shouldn't have been sent out like that. Ordered through DoorDash. Hoping this was just an off day, because we normally enjoy your food and would like to continue supporting you. read more

AfroEatz - Salty AF today!!!!!!! - African Near Me - Sacramento, California

My friend wanted to try this spot because we passed by the beautiful exterior and we were intrigued! We did come like 45 minutes before closing so most of the menu was not accessible. However they had Jollof rice dishes available so we both got one each! Myself the wings and she had a roast chicken, I believe. The flavor was out of this world! The chicken was coated in this delicious seasoning mix and was very moist. The Jollof rice was super flavorful and the portions were huge. It also came with plantains and a beautiful cabbage mix that I enjoyed. The staff was kind and attentive. I wish I lived in Sacramento because I would probably be here every other week. read more

Came here for the first time with my friends for dinner after seeing so many videos of it online and hearing great reviews from said friends. This place did not disappoint! The inside is so cute with various seating styles (tables, high tops, bar) and communal seating. You will scan a QR code to access the menu and order and then it will be brought out to you. We came on a Sunday and spun a wheel and won a free side of fufu! The staff were super friendly and helpful in answering questions, one of us paid cash and the worker helped take the order/have us pay since we weren't using the QR code to order. We ordered different dishes: beef/meat pies, egusi soup + fufu, pepper soup + fufu, jollof rice + wings, and jollof rice + whole fish. They brought us some Kala with a delicious spicy sauce as well. Every single item was incredible, super flavorful, and so unique compared to other food I've had. The pepper soup is perfectly spicy and goes great with the mild smooth fufu. The jollof rice is so good, the fish was perfectly cooked, and the plantains on the side were caramelized and amazing. So filling and we all left with leftovers. Only been once, but will absolutely be back! read more

AfroEatz - Kala Pepper Soup + Fufu(SPICY) Egusi Soup + Fufu Jollof Rice + Whole Fish - African Near Me - Sacramento, California

So I came in to pick up the viral Fufu Egusi. My wife and I placed two orders and this was my first time trying the item as well as coming to this store. There is a self service kiosk to place to go orders and I believe if you'd like to sit down you your order with the waitress. Lots of open seating . The food was flavorful and hard elaborate beside a lot of spices( not spicey) and seasonings are used. The fufu is almost like a doughy mashed potatoe(although it's made from different trot vegetables). And the Egusi is almost like a stew( resembles thick curry without curry taste). The food is unique for my palette and was flavorful. I will say it was a bit on the saltier side. My wife loved it. The food is rich and I honestly think an order was enough to share if you're trying it for the first time. The serving looked small for the price but you can taste the love that was placed in making the order. That being said it took almost 40 minutes for me to get my food, was not expecting that long of a wait but they do have a sign next to the self ordering kiosk letting you know each item is prepared fresh. Definitely a must try . My only gripe was the wait time but the sign did mention each meal was made to order, now I know what it really means time wise read more

This was our first authentic Liberian experience and the hospitality that these guys provided was nothing like we've ever experienced. Take into account that all dishes are made fresh and may take a little patience so definitely not the place for a quick bite. You will be placing your order online using the QR code. We were not familiar with the dishes and cuisine but at AfroEatz they are so eager and happy to share their culture that they brought out an appetizer while we looked over the menu; they brought out and order of Kala which came with a red sauce that was so tasty, and beef meat pies. At the entrance of the restaurant they have a spin the wheel with chances of got some free sides. We won a free side of Jollof Rice, delicious! We ordered a few entrees, their portions are plentiful and can easily be split by two people. I ordered the whole fish and a side of fufu which I was so excited to try. As I was attempting to eat the fufu one of the chefs came out and told me she would bring me something to eat the fufu with. She brought out some Egusi Soup and this ended up being my favorite dish out of the whole experience! We also very much enjoyed the very lively music and over all vibe in the restaurant was vibrant! read more

Liberian food? I want to try Liberian food! And I'm so glad that we did. I read a book some years ago that mentioned jollof rice, so we tried it. I wish that I'd thought to take a photo. We ordered the jollof rice with wings. The presentation is beautiful. It is so flavorful. It comes with plantains, and some delicious cabbage. We ordered the nonalcoholic ginger beer, which was great. The ambience is comfortable. The service is very good, and they made excellent recommendations. The portion is so big that we shared it and there was still enough left for dinner tonight. read more

We saw this place on TikTok and my sister wanted to try it. Let me start by saying this is a must try ! The atmosphere was amazing the music was a vibe and Nasco was the gentleman helping us. He recommended we try the salmon pies, the salmon pies were flaky and had a smoked salmon flavor in the center of give it a 9/10 but then when you as the mild sauce they had it made it 10/10 for sure the spices in the sauces were delicious. the egusi soup and fufu, I rate it 8/10 it was very flavorful the texture was something I never experienced it was so fun to eat and you have to try it just for the experience alone.jollof rice + chicken (halal), hands down 10/10 the flavor in that chicken and how it falls of the bone is amazing hands down will be ordering it again. We also tried the beef patties , the flakiness of the crust and the beef filling they do not miss on the flavor. Nothing was salty but had extreme flavor and that's talent to not have to power food with salt to give that flavor just the spices! We also had the pineapple ginger beer and the hibiscus ginger beer delicious and refreshing! Hands down a must try if you are in sac. The experience and customer service and flavor all is definitely a 10/10 read more

I enjoyed our meal. Quick service. The flavors were good, an acquired taste, not something I would crave. I do think you should try at least once. The food didn't have much protein. Great experience nonetheless. read more

I've never had Liberian food before so I just had to try it out. You can order at the kiosk and pick out a table, they'll bring you the food. Egusi: A One of the most flavorful dishes I've found in Sacramento. Not sure what spices go into it but it's a very warm blend, plus with all the spinach and chicken/pork it's very nourishing. It's a soup but more equivalent to an Indian curry consistency. Fufu: A One of the most intriguing foods I've seen so I had to try it. It's almost like a mochi consistency, soft sticky and stretchy. It's a bit bland by itself but goes great with the egusi. Definitely come here if you're interested in highly flavorful and spices food, or something unique! read more

My friends and I wanted to check out AfroEatz after seeing many videos online. Walking in we sat ourself and everything was done on your phone after scanning the QR code at the table. We ordered the Jollof rice + chicken, the egusi soup + fufu, wings and plantains and the salmon pies. It was kind of troubling trying to pay (and more expensive) with Apple pay so I recommend that you just input your credit card info. All the food came out hot and fresh. Everything was super flavorful and the highlight was definitely the salmon pies and the wings. read more

Popped into this new Sacramento offering while in town. Pretty easy parking options nearby. Beautifully painted outside makes it hard to miss and quite intriguing, pleasantly surprised to see some beautiful artwork on the inside, not sure if any of its for sale but it should be! The music playing was lively and kept me boppin in my seat. Staff are friendly and seem genuinely excited about sharing the culture and their food. I love that! Upon walking in it's a little disjointed. You have to take a number from the counter. Then start placing an order in the wall console, which will ask for said number. The staff are pretty good about greeting you, but I noticed not one said hey our menus pretty limited right now and boy was it. On Saturday early afternoon they were out of 75% of the menu. Which means we didn't get anything we actually came in to order. If they are packed or you come in as a single eater, you might end up sharing a table with others so take note of that isn't your preference. If you're open to being social the patrons are too. We had conversations with both sides of our table, it was great. Ended up with whole fish and wings with jollof rice. Flavors on everything were great! Loved the two colors of cabbage. Plantains were on point, I usually don't care for them at all but I gobbled half and took the rest to nibble on again later. Jollof rice was lovely, great ratio of veggies. We also tried the dough that apparently you're supposed to order with a soup. There were no instructions. I really wanted to try anything okra but the only way was to order another dish of jollof rice with the sauce. We didn't need 3 platters of rice. Just wanted a smidge of the sauce to taste. Unfortunately it's not offered as a side and they were out of everything else. The wings and jollof only come with 3 pieces, making that dish hard to share for the price. Most other dishes look large enough to actually just share one bringing things back down to reasonable pricing for two and a cute but messy potential date night adventure. All in all worth stopping by for a new experience, especially if you're a lover of flavorful things. Nothing we had was spicy just flavorful. read more

Really impressed with this place, when i walked in it had a really homey and cozy atmosphere due to the warm lighting. Ordering was super simple just scan the qr code and boom just order your food. For the food was a whole different experience, as a little wasian boy myself I usually i'm surrounded by Asian cuisines and such so this was a new experience for me, all I can say was the food was amazing. We ordered the fufu and egusi which i've been wanting to try for the longest time and I my expectations have been exceeded. Our server consistently checked in on us which was really nice. Overall I give this place a 9.5/10 with no really negatives to say about it. Also the bathrooms are really nice. read more

I got Egusi and fufu today and I unfortunately was disappointed. The Egusi soup was waaaaay too salty and idk if it was the turkey meat that I added but I could not comfortable eat it. The portion size is worth it overall but please cut down on the salt. I'm visit the city and live in Vegas and I have I spot I go to and Egusi hits every time and I'd say having different meat options or vegan is a win. Fish, goat, chicken beef is it, see Turkey was different but I was willing try but wish I didn't. read more

Absolutely delighted to come for dine in. I have been mostly doing take out so far. The food is as delicious as ever. Full of flavor. The service was top notch. Ambiance was lovely.

The food is tasty; however they ran out of it. Waited an hour for our order. They seem to be short on kitchen staff.

So. . .my sister and I have been wanting to try this place for a while. We finally found a date that works best for the both of is. We here at about 5 PM. We waited for another friend to show up so we just ordered beef patties until she arrived. It took quite a long time to get our order, however, the beef patties were really good. . . very flavorful and what I liked most about them was the crust was flaky. The water they served had a taste to it that I want a fan of. When our friend finally arrived, we decided on what we were going to eat and I went to order at the kiosk they have provided by the front door. While I was ordering, I noticed that about half of the menu was "sold out." Super disappointing. We ended up leaving to find another restaurant that had their full menu available. My sister is willing to try this location again at a later time however I'm not so sure. This location opened at 1pm so approximately 4-5 hours later, the food was running out. If I am unable to make it until later on the evening and I can't partake in the FULL menu then I probably won't be back. The staff was amazing so I give them much credit for their customer service. I'm really big on that. But to not be able to serve all of your patrons your full menu from open to close, that's something to consider. read more

The food is made hot and fresh and they have a wide variety of food to order and try. The jollof rice is amazing. The plantains were perfect. The oxtails were very well seasoned but a little bit overcooked but still delicious. The prices are not bad at all and it is a very nice and clean place to dine. It is family style seating and very good for groups or even date nights. I would definitely be back for the fufu and the pepper soup. You order the food yourself onscreen and someone brings it to you who is very nice and courteous. read more

AfroEatz - Egusi Soup + Fufu - African Near Me - Sacramento, California

No! Absolutely NO! I ordered at 1:51, received a text Y 2:16 that my food was ready, and walked out with part of an order at 2:54pm! It was past my lunch at this point so I put the items in my fridge after I got home so that I could eat it the next day. Today I opened the container to get ready for lunch and the majority of the meal is missing! It's just plain rice and cassava leaf, no fish (whole) no sardine, nada! Over $26 for rice and cassava leaf is crazy! My receipt shows what was ordered, yet I waited over an hour for this! What's really truly irritating is that they opened at 1:30, I walked to them from my office to order, waited and watched at least 6 people pick up their orders. Apparently they were accepting door dash orders ahead of time. Now, I have to drive back downtown from north Sacramento just to see if they will provide a remedy. Over an hour wait for a to-go order is not good, it's not great when key items in my order are missing as well. Imagine if I'd sent someone to pick this order up and it was wrong, I might be blaming the driver. They will be open for dine-in later this month, perhaps with the wait, this might be a better time to visit again. read more

AfroEatz - Missing items in order - African Near Me - Sacramento, California

I've been wanting to try Fufu with Egusi Soup and Jollof rice for a while. I ordered Chicken for both and it exceeded my expectations. It was absolutely delicious! I came in right before a lunch rush for take-out. There was a large party before me, so it took a little longer than expected, but it was understandable. Each plate that I saw that was brought out to those dining in might have took some time to make, but I saw that it was served with love and care and looked absolutely delicious. I would say that if u come, pls have patience because each plate is made to perfection. The waiter was kind to apologize about the wait which I appreciated. I loved my take out, and I know it would've tasted even better if I dined in. The fried plantains were also so yummy, such a great added sweetness to my dish. And the Hot pepper sauce is definitely a must if u like spicy. I will be returning to dine in next time and bringing friends! Fulfilled a long awaited craving of mine and I am so so happy. read more

AfroEatz - Chicken Egusi Soup + Fufu and Jollof Rice + Chicken Plate(lunch) - African Near Me - Sacramento, California

I came to Afro Eats after seeing it blow up on TikTok and had to see what the hype was about. It didn't disappoint. I tried the fufu with the ebisu (fish stew). The fufu was soft and satisfying, and while the ebisu was on the milder side flavor wise, it was still really comforting and enjoyable. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and the portions are generous. However, I would prefer it to be more flavorful. Also, one fufu is enough, dont make a mistake like me and order 2! Next time I definitely want to try the oxtail version. I've heard from a few people that it's more flavorful and rich. Overall, glad I stopped by and looking forward to working my way through the menu. read more

Everything I had was so good a little pricey, but worth it good hospitality, very friendly

My husband and I came here after searching for a new place to try downtown and the food was amazing! The ambiance is great, the gentleman serving us was friendly and explained their ordering system, which consists of ordering/paying on a large screen by the door and picking up a table number on the bar and self seating. He emphasized to ask any questions about the menu as neither of us have had Liberian food before. The food: I ordered the jollof rice + chicken which was delicious with a hefty portion size including red and green cabbage and plantains. The chicken was delicious! Of note it is bone in pieces so you do have to pick the bones out. I got the mild and hot sauce on the side and depending on your spice tolerance, the mild is a little spicy. The sauces were both delicious and with the seasoned chicken reminiscent of jerk seasoning. The plantains were perfectly cooked and caramelized. The rice was delicious and perfectly seasoned. My only wish was a little more chicken as it was so good! My husband got the jollof + oxtail which is also bone in and meat was very tender! Large portion size and also came with plantains and cabbage as well as the seasoned rice. We both tried the fufu which came in a large portion and our server explained it was a starchy plantain based food to serve with stews/soups which was a delicious meal addition. The Meat Pies were well seasoned especially with mild and hot sauce (ordered separately) and the order comes with 3 pies. Very filling and could definitely be a meal on their own. We each had one and took the 3rd to go. Did not see any desert options on the menu yet. The drinks: So far I think they are pending their liquor license as they have multiple bottled sodas and drinks although I did see a partially assembled beer tap which I am assuming is pending their hard opening. We got a Fanta and Coke. The water had a nice lemony-cucumber taste. Service: There was one gentleman taking out all the food and he was very busy! When we arrived there were 2 other parties however more groups trickled in (early Thursday evening). He was very attentive, thorough and friendly. Getting utensils/to go boxes took a little longer but understandable given only one person was working. Food does take some time to come out but we did get text reminders when our food was ready which was an interesting feature. Overall: amazing food, vibrant space, and friendly service. We will definitly be back! read more

First Time Experience with Fufu & Egusi. My wife and I had never eaten at Afro Eatz before. While we've had Ethiopian food from time to time, we had never tried West African dishes--especially not with fufu. We must say, the service was friendly, and even though we ordered to-go, the hospitality stood out. I ordered the fufu with egusi, and my wife got the oxtail pepper soup with fufu. This was both of our first times eating anything with fufu--our African food experiences have always been with injera. When we got home and sat at the dinner table, we dove right in... Oh. My. GOD! Each bite was like a slice of flavor heaven. The egusi was rich, savory, and perfectly seasoned. My wife's oxtail pepper soup was amazing--she loved it, and after tasting it, I can honestly say it was better than any oxtails I've had in a long time. We were blown away by the flavor, the portions, and the experience. Afro Eatz just won two new loyal customers. We will absolutely be back. read more

Let me start by saying, they are making the ancestors proud with this cooking. Brought my kids here to connect to their Liberian roots and they were beyond happy.

Girlfriend was begging me to go here, so we did. Food was really good and flavorful, just watch out for the bones in the egusi, other than that everything was awesome! The ambiance inside is really inviting and nice. Service was phenomenal too, our food came pretty quick and the gentleman at the front was super nice and played a game with the folks sitting next to us. Just watch out, some of the menu is usually out of stock but still a great place to visit! read more

Big Disappointment -.- We came Friday at 7pm. Not crowded--just three parties seated, with two parties (4 people total) ahead of us. The vibe wasn't inviting, which felt ironic considering their big sign saying "Welcome to Family and Community," yet you're forced to order through a kiosk. I thought, "Okay, maybe that'll make things faster." Nope. When it was finally our turn to order, over 60% of the menu was unavailable--on a Friday night at 7pm! No Kala, no green stew... huge letdown. Then came the wait. After more than an hour--and seeing the parties ahead of us still without food--we finally asked for a refund. Thankfully, they processed it, because who knows how much longer we would've been sitting there. I wanted to like this place and support them, but they clearly don't have their act together. I expect far better, especially from a place that claims to be about "family" and "community." Right now, it's just not it. read more

Food was bomb, we went for dinner on a random Thursday so it was slow. It was nice tho some of their other clients were making conversation with me and they seem to know everyone working there.
