Spinach Sauteed
Jhené M.

African food I came to the food here it was absolutely amazing! I actually like how they put the spice on the side for those who may be sensitive to spicy food, which is not me, but good for those who want other people to try before they apply their spices. The service was also really nice. They were prompt, knowledgeable,and able to answer all questions. The ambience was fine as well. It was on a Sunday afternoon, with my mother and her friend, and it was very spacious. This was my second time coming here, and I would definitely come back. I ordered the Galveston tilapia, the $15 size, and it was more than enough, but I did finish it lol it came with plantain that was well fried, and I decided to get a side of Spinach again, and it was also also very big lol the portion sizes are awesome, and definitely worth a price.

Chez Michelle is a casual restaurant/lounge type deal. Plenty seating in a Friday night. Service was fairly good, our waitress checked on us and was honest about what she didn't know (specifically, which spirits they served). My drum was delicious! Well-seasoned and large. The jollof was pretty good. Plantain wasn't my favorite. Is def recommend this spot for the fish. Pricing is questionable.

Tilapia

My first time being here and I absolutely love it. Being part Cameroonian, I really do not know much about the culture but the foooooood bangs! We Had Ndole with Oxtail with Plantain and Jollof Rice. It was actually an acquired taste but it in a good. The build up of the taste was amazing with the plantain so I'm definitely going back for seconds. My friend had the tilapia and he ate that right up so I'm guessing it was amazing. My guy ate it to the bone.

Very pleasant surprise off of Hwy 6. The place is big and may seem impersonal. But not at all. The staff is very nice. Young man waiting on us and mending the front (cash) area was very patient and professional. Although he was multi tasking, he never made us feel like we were annoying him with our various requests. Patrons seem to feel very at home when they get there. The food was excellent. The pepper they serve with the fish is a must try, even if one doesn't particularly like spicy food. It kicks the fish flavor up a couple notches. I will def recommended and come back. Good job to all the staff and I hope you stay just as great as well as your food quality.

I'm all types of confused about this place. I came here with a friend around 930 last Saturday -- it was empty. We are dealing with the 'Rona, but my goodness there were literally two other tables occupied and the establishment is not small. This place has a good rating on Google and my friend had eaten there before, so I wasn't concerned. As to be expected at any African or Caribbean restaurant... they were rude upon entry. But this was extra rude. They literally mean mugged us and did not speak. The server just brought the menus and stood there and stared at us. We were not familiar with the items because we are not Cameroonian (though honestly everything isn't Cameroonian on the menu... Suya is definitely Nigerian) -- so we had questions. Our server was TERRIBLE with all of them. We asked what Capri was, he said "alcohol". NO ISH SHERLOCK-- IT'S ON THE ALCOHOL MENU?! He did say it was a Cameroonian drink though. (I didn't have good service and couldn't check). Why is Capri a liqueur (so should not have been given as a shot), ITALIAN not Cameroonian and DISGUSTING! After that, we got the Beef Suya as an appetizer, because safe. That was good. But oh dear, our entrees. My friend got the chicken and fries -- both were pretty bland in my opinion. He'd previously come for the whole Tilapia which he did say was very good. But my food?? I ordered the Ndole with Beef Oxtail and fried plantain. First, it was supposed to come with rice and that was never given to me. They gave me boiled plantain. Then, most importantly.... they gave me FISH not oxtail. I thought I was crazy at first, but we eventually discovered that our rude server wasn't actually that rude... he couldn't speak or understand English well. At ALL. He went and got the owner and she explained that they had him on the floor as a way to learn. WHAT? She then asked if I'd had the dish before which was neither here nor there because the point is I asked for oxtail and received fish! The fish version was not good. I'll never know if their oxtail or anything else is good, because I didn't want to order anything else after that ordeal and have no plans to ever return.

Suya!!

Prob the best Suya i has in my life!! I had to wait for the server to attend to me but after they got to us it was smooth sailing from there. Def would recommend this place to anyone looking for some quality African eats.

OMG, this was such a nice find! My friend recommended ChopNBlok since she had visited both their…read moresit down restaurant and this more casual location. I'm always happy to discover a good restaurant recommendation, and this one definitely did not disappoint. They had someone out front handing out samples of their Jollof rice, curry sauce, and stewed plantains, which were part of their Golden Bowl. I'm not a big plantain person, so I initially asked for mine without them. But, I decided to give them a try anyway, both with and without them. I'm glad I did because the plantains actually added a really nice balance to the dish. The combination of the rice, curry, and plantains was mostly savory with just a hint of sweetness. Hands down, this was my favorite dish. I also have to give a shout out to the woman out front handling the samples. I spoke with her the most, and she did a really good job of selling the restaurant. She was welcoming, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience enjoyable. Sometimes it's the little things, like someone taking the time to introduce you to the food and make recommendations, that can really make a difference. All in all, ChopNBlok was a great find, and I'm glad my friend recommended it. I don't live in the area, but if I ever find myself back there, I would definitely return for the Golden Bowl. It's always nice when you discover a dish that makes you want to come back for more!

The food was decent, but unfortunately the customer service really ruined the experience for us. We…read morespent around $100 on three meals, so I expected much better treatment. The interaction with one of the employees was unnecessarily rude and embarrassing, and it left a really bad impression. For what we paid, I expected a much more welcoming and respectful customer experience. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll be coming back to POST location.

I shared the fufu with egusi soup with stewed goat added, the Stewed Hen, Moin Moin, & Jollof Rice, and the meat pie with a friend and it was plenty for both of us. The fufu with egusi soup was super delicious with a spicy kick that I loved (7/10) . The plate was the star of the meal. Everything from the stewed hen, to the rice, to the greens were all so well seasoned and I truly enjoyed every bite (8.5/10). The meat pie was also delicious with a savory filling and the pastry was thick and buttery but surprisingly not overbearing considering the pastry to filling ratio (8/10). Overall the food was awesome and seemed quite authentic. Would definitely come back to support this small local business!

When I woke up this morning and checked DoorDash it said that the order was picked up at 7:37pm and my card was charged $60, which is honestly too much for 2 soups and 2 appetizers. Also on top of that the location was sketchy, had no visible signage, and was dirty. Would not recommend this place at all if I could give negative stars I would.

I recently had dinner at Bantu House with my daughter. I am not very experienced with African…read morecuisine outside of South African restaurants and a few Ethiopian-style places, so this was a very new experience for me. Overall, I found the food to be very flavorful, well seasoned, and unique. My daughter and I actually ended up liking each other's meals more than our own, so we switched plates, which worked out well. We also ordered a few extra items, including wings and yams. The pounded yam was interesting and very different from anything I usually eat. It is probably not something I would go out of my way to order again, but I am glad I tried it and now understand a little better how it is eaten. The one disappointing part of the visit was the ordering experience. The young man who rang us up was polite, but he was unable to make any recommendations. He said he had been working there for about three months and still could not really suggest what to order. For someone like me, who is unfamiliar with this type of food, recommendations would have been very helpful. I would have appreciated some guidance on the most popular dishes, common choices, or what first-time customers usually enjoy. That said, the owner was extremely kind. She came out to our table, spoke with us, and helped explain how to eat some of the food we had ordered. I really appreciated that. She came across as a very sweet person, and based on her hospitality alone, I would come back to support the business. This style of food may not personally be my cup of tea or something I will crave often, but I respect the flavor, the care, and the local business behind it. I would give Bantu House four stars. It could have been closer to 3.5 for me personally, mostly because of the lack of ordering guidance, but the owner's kindness and the quality of the food pushed it to four.
