Amazing food from Burkina Faso (Burkinabe), West Africa, Sahel region. -Lamb dibi - 9/10 (enough for feed 2 people) - Jollof rice - 20/10 - probably one of the best rice dishes I EVER had. (This is coming from someone of Indian heritage. It can compete with the best Indian biryani, pilaf, lemon rice.) -Bissap - 9/10 -Green sauce - 10/10 (creamy) -Spicy sauce - 10/10 (very spicy) -Degue - 9/10 (mild sweet) read more

Like sunspots, there's a rare Uber Eats phenomenon when holiday closures lead to an expanded radius of availability, which led to the Burkindi discovery. The "picked for you" section was correct (does anyone know if they're using personal algorithms or just highlighting popular items?), recommending dibi with riz gras. There's some spice on the lamb itself, with flavors augmented by two green sauces, one of which was massively spicy. I also liked the tomato and onion sauce on the rice. read more

This place was on my must visit list. Walked in 3:05 as the only person there. I was looking around, had questions. The server brought out his own meal and started eating. No one else there to take care of me. After 15 minutes I got up to see if anyone was in the other side and he called to me not to open that door, just to sit and wait. No. You serve your customers. We don't serve you. 1 star, do not come here, sorry. read more

Food was delicious. We thought we would try two types of Fu Fu dishes, and ended up eating both. It is basically a take away place. read more

Food is delicious! No frills type of place often with items missing from the menu but tasty.

Delicious authentic food! The best so far I've tried in other places in NJ and Harlem NYC. Very clean inside. Halal meat. Friendly and fast service which is very unusual for African restaurants))))). Dibi and Arachide (peanut butter soup) with fufu is the best dish in the menu, must try with spicy sauce!!!!!. We went there on Sunday evening, it was pretty quiet there and had the whole feast! They cooked very fast and server was very friendly. Surprised they didn't open the place in Harlem yet! Definitely would be successful there! read more

I've been to this restaurant a couple times years ago when they first opened. They're always out of things on the menu but whenever I do get something it's delicious. I was in the neighborhood so I decided to stop by and support a local black Muslim business owner. When I went in the restaurant had been reorganized. The steam table was no longer visible. It was behind a timed glass wall now. The one guy in the dining room when I walked in was super rude. He was sitting with his back turned to the door at the far end of the restaurant. He casually turned around and then shifted his attention back to the TV. I thought he was a customer. After I stepped to the counter and conspicuously looked around for staff, he asked how he could help me. Since I couldn't see the food and I know they're always out of something, I asked him a few times what was available. All he kept saying is "no, you can't see. No, you can't see." I reminded him that I'm obviously not from the area, am not that familiar with Burkina Faso food and I'm a customer trying to support his small business. Can he be a little bit more helpful with helping me to place my order? He still didn't help. Instead he arrogantly told me that I just came in there to talk and turned his attention to the African customer who was walking in the door. I will never go there again. I don't suggest you do either. read more

Amazing food .. super fresh, very high quality, authentic Burkinan food. Yes, it's in a sketchy part of town but you can park right outside. We tried the Spinach Feuille with Lamb and the Thieboudienne (Branzino style fish). Both were fantastic. And we also tried the homemade drinks (yogurt, ginger and Sorrel) .. also amazing, especially the Sorrel and Ginger drinks. What a find!! read more

This place is what it says it is, no frills just good west African fare. I wish they had white rice though. The digi is superb lamb with good amounts of fat that makes mutton delicious. I appreciate their consistency to the taste and texture of the food. The chicken I think is a little tough but it's fowl I think you are getting what you paid for. Go here if you like west African fare. read more

I have to say this is the absolutely the BEST African food I've ever had in my life, I was new in the area visiting for work and I really have been craving good fufu. I made sure I did my research and found a good one close by! I was greeted by the sweetest lady , she knew I was new to the menu and helped and was super patient and polite!! I made sure I got the fufu and this was the BEST fufu I've ever had , it was absolutely so tasty and delicious. I'm no longer in the area and I absolutely miss this beautiful woman and her food, like she really pours her heart and soul into her food. It's amazing , 10/10 , I think I might fly back to new jersey just for the FuFu & Delicious gumbo!! read more

OMG. As a Nigerian I'm very skeptical of trying other African restaurant from different countries. Just due to taste preference and comfort ability with Nigerian cuisines. Today was a very different day, I saw diibi on instagram in the afternoon and craved it all day. On getting home this was the only place I could get it with plantain and all I'll say is woooow! The meal was 11/10 i enjoyed the spice and flavor. The delivery time was fair but the meal was worth it. I look forward to more meals from here soon. read more

Amazing African cuisine...will eat there again. The only upset i had is that they didn't have anymore fufu when i needed it the most other than that the food we order was very good. read more

My husband and I have been here twice and we were highly Impressed by the amount of food you receive we always have left overs for lunch the next day! On top of that the foods is delicious and authentic! We will be back again soon! read more

They have amazing food but the man who works there is very impatient. A person like myself who hasn't had African food much I was willing to pay more to trying different food items and he just kept cutting me off saying plantains coast such a such. I never wanted plantains I wanted to try fufu but this will probably be my last time ordering there. He has no respect for customers. He is very rude and this is my second time experiencing this. read more
