The goat was tender, well-seasoned, and delicious, and the fufu paired perfectly with it. If you've never tried authentic African cuisine before, this is a great place to step outside your comfort zone and experience something different. And if you already know and love this food, Olobe's Kitchen will not disappoint. Great food, bold flavors, generous portions, and a meal I'll definitely be coming back for. Highly recommend!

I had questions and she walked me through the menu and options. Additionally, the inside was super clean and the restrooms. For the food I settled on one of the special Spanish stews (something with fish flavors but I forgot the name) and it was good. The suya beef unfortunately left me wanting for more. The beef was dry and with the suya, it made me want water after every bite. I do recommend you check it out and I will probably go back to try other items but will try a few other African places first.

My husband and I had been here before and we got the noodles with the omelette to go because they were out of the Jollof rice. I remember that we were fighting over that noodles. Fast forward to today, I was craving some good flavor so I recalled this place and put in an order for peri-peri chicken bowl for my husband and salmon Jollof rice bowl for me with a side of plantain. It took a while for my husband to get used to the smokiness of the Jollof but as soon as we got acclimated to the flavor, oh my goodness... I can finally understand why they ran out of this darn Jollof rice the last time we came. The Jollof rice is the star of the dish! Granted our chicken and salmon was good, but the Jollof rice takes the podium here. The rice is perfectly cooked and my mouth is still having a flavor party. We would definitely be taking family and friends to this spot!

Selected this spot for birthday weekend. Sunday brunch and music. I was not disappointed with the…read moreatmosphere. The music was spot on and the MC was interactive and entertaining as well. The vibe was nice. You must make a reservation! This is what I enjoyed: Side of Lamb chops: 10/10 tender, meaty, nice smoky and sweet flavor, well seasoned. Side of Mac and cheese: 6/10 a bit dry, needs a bit more seasoning, if both of these things were not an issue it would be perfect. Oxtails and jollof rice: 10/10 oxtails were full of flavor and enjoyable. They could have been a bit more tender. Overall the flavor carried it to a perfect 10. The rice is seasoned and a bit smokey and cooked to the perfect doneness. Table bread: 9/10 puff puff style bread. They were fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Brought out first and provided with every meal. It had a sweet seasoning mix on it. The mix to me was more for after dinner instead of right before the meal. Dusse mimosa: 10/10 nice and stout. I prefer Dusse over Hennessy which is what was on the menu. Jerk chicken: 10/10 flavorful wings. Jerk seasoning was there and not too spicy. Cooked just right and not dry. Collard greens: 6/10 savory flavor. I am a collard greens specialist and I prefer a sweet and hot profile. Although these are just savory they were cooked to the correct tenderness. Candied yams: 10/10 get blend of cinnamon and sweet flavor. Cooked perfectly.

Tried out this restaurant while visiting Dallas!…read more THE BAND! THE BAND! I'd come back just to hear the band the DJ! The entertainment was on point! Our server was great but she was handling many tables! Drinks: Sidecar (5/5) got two of them!! Food: They start you with complimentary beignet style puffs..eh these are alright...very greasy. We split the Oxtail spring rolls (3.5/5), collard green egg rolls (4/5), Catfish & Grits (just a tad salty but good... 4.5/5), Oxtail & Grits (no real Jamaican flavor 2.5/5), Mac & Cheese (literally taste like noodles and cardboard box 0/5), Collard Greens (very salty and interesting flavor (3/5), Yams (4/5) Hostess: Seemed like she had an attitude and not personable AT ALL. I also watched her rub her bare feet at the host stand. Plenty of parking!

We sat ourselves and…read morereceived a menu, although there is also a counter at the front where you can probably make orders as well. I loved the pies, the flavor of both of them were really good and the crust was perfectly crunchy. The sauce they provided on the side was quite spicy. We decided to get the top 2 most popular items, the Benachin and Chicken Yassa. The Benachin had good stew meat and flavor, however the meat was a little tough for me. I really did love the onion and carrot mix on the side, it gave the dish so much flavor. The Chicken Yassa also had that onion mix, and this time included fried potatoes as well, which were lightly seasoned. The chicken flavor was good, but also a little on the drier side. Overall, a good experience! Portions were large too.

It was 16.50 on the menu but when I came in one lady said 22.50 and then the other said no, charge 28.50 because goat is expensive. I drove 40 minutes because I really wanted African food and then they played in my face when I got there. How are you going to double the price.

The location of Taste Afrik definitely threw me for a loop, but they made up for location in flavor 100%!!! When I tell you child, this food is good!!! I wanted to switch it up, as I am an egusi fanatic. I decided to order fish as opposed to chicken, beef, or goat, which are also available. And much to my delight, this fish is delish. It's falling right off the bone moist but still has great texture against the smoothness of the veggies and the flavors of the spice! The young man who took my order seemed rather serious about their strict 8pm close time, but I guess he knows black folks be late! Lol. However the young lady that processed my payment was rather sweet and talkative. Overall good service, quick preparation, awesome flavor m, and realllllly inexpensive!

The restaurant had only 1 other table occupied and we were seated immediately. The host was helpful with the dishes. She also stared that the menus did not have the updated pricing. We tried the Asun which was fantastic - definitely spicy so be cautious if you cannot handle the heat. The jerk chicken with jollof rice was a winner too. The chicken was perfectly spiced and was falling off the bones. Totally loved the food. While the food was great, why the 3 stars? The restaurant could do better on cleanliness. The cutlery needed to be replaced because it was not washed right. Not enough paper napkins on the table. Pricing : Quite an expensive place. 1 appetizer and 1 entree was a lil over $50. Overall the food was excellent but the pricing and lack of cleanliness were a disappointment.
