    The best African Restaurant, I tried so far. We waited about 40 minutes, which wasn't a huge bomber being that they cook every to order. I don't mind waiting, for quality food. Both dishes came out hot, with the perfect amount of spices. Hum...hum...hum... If you are craving authentic African cuisine, this place is a must try! We went on a Saturday night, the place filled up pretty quickly, FYI the establishment isn't too big so I would advised getting there at a reasonable time. They also had afro beats playing which was a great addition while waiting.

    Amazing Nigerian food with huge portion, friendly staff with good music! It was good to be transported back to Nigeria for a night

    Drove so far for this place only for them to be out of half the things we wanted. I tried the egusi with pounded yam. Beautiful presentation but the egusi was terrible. My friend tried it too and agreed. We sent it back and they did take it off the check but still felt the need to send out the chef. I let her know that the egusi didn't taste right and she said "you're not the first person I've served today." Ma'am, maybe that's the problem. It's 6PM, shouldn't be serving the same batch all day. And it was already taken off the check so why the confrontation? Won't be back.

    OHHH THE DISAPPOINTMENTS CONTINUES!!! I've been wanting to experience this place for so long because it's near my place of residence, but I've always been skeptical about it. I finally had the opportunity to stop by, but I was met with disappointments. First, when I arrived, there was not a worker in sight. There was only one customer at the bar waiting for her order, I assumed. There was a man sitting at a table also waiting for an interview, I believe. I scanned the room for a menu but I didn't see any, not even a wall menu. So, I just continued to stand at the counter waiting for service but it took forever for someone to come from the back. After waiting for five minutes or more, I decided to just leave. Five minutes is my wait limit. I was tired of standing there hungry and listening to their conversations in the kitchen. After I walked out and was already in my vehicle, a lady came running to my passenger window apologizing and asking me to come back in. I told her that it's not a problem at all and that I will come back in. Secondly, I asked for a menu so that I could see what they have to offer. I wanted stewed chicken soup but they were out of chicken, so I decided on the goat soup, but they were out of goat. As a result, anything that consisted of chicken or goat on the menu, I was unable to order it because they did not have it in stock. #RedFlag! I wanted Jollof rice with chicken but I ended up ordering just plain Jollof rice. The Jollof rice was very delicious. I enjoyed it thoroughly but would have enjoyed it more with the chicken. Overall, this was just an okay experience for me. The ambience of the place was extremely dead. There was no music playing and no one dining inside. It was almost as if they were going out of business; absolutely no liveliness about the place at all! The customer service was okay. The vibe I was feeling was a negative energy so I don't think I will ever go back. I'll just have to make a long trip one Saturday and try Cafe Abuja on westheimer because I truly love Nigerian cuisine. I used to eat it all the time as a kid because my uncle-in-law is from Nigeria and he could make the best Nigerian goat soup and fish soup! OMG! But, anyway I gave this establishment three stars. They need to tighten up on some things. I hope they get it together one day. Asé and Blessings to them!

    We had Egusi and the vegetable egusi with beef. So starting off, the parking is HORRIBLE!!! Prob best to order ahead and pick up. The lady at the front was nice. It was our first time, so we were asking for recommendations, which she didn't give but answered all the questions. I asked if it was spicy. She said no, but the vegetable one is. Not the original egusi. However, the food was flavorful and delicious. The beef, however, was super hard and unable to even chew, which is why I didn't give 5 stars. I'm not sure if it was overcooked or just old. Next time, I would try it with another meat. But I definitely would go back.

    Freshly pounded yam. No instant powdered yam.

    Food was made fresh and literally sizzling when it comes to your table. Portions were great as we ate and took home enough for another full meal. We ordered the efo riro with pounded yam and the Gbegiri soup with amala. It was amazing. The pounded yam is freshly pounded and not make from instant powder.I would highly recommend! Customer service was okay.

    Worst customer service ever. Not helpful at ordering the food, no details on what type of meat is on the meal. Poor food quality. Food is very expensive & $$$$ 2 dishes for $58

    First time eating Nigerian food and I am glad Famous Princess Kitchen was my first experience. My friend had previously dinned here and she spoke highly of them. So she took me my nephew and another friend here this past Saturday. Very cozy, small, clean restaurant with multiple seating areas. Everyone was super nice and very helpful. Our waitress was informative and patient with us whole ordering and made suggestions. We all ordered two orders of Egusi with chicken & fufu and a side order of plantains. For our beverages four of us had Malta and one had an Orange Fanta. While we waited for our food another lady came by to check on us and she brought us two bowls of water to wash our hands. Food took a while to come out but it was worth it. I really enjoyed everything! The lady who brought us the bowls of water came back by to see how our food was. Waitress was attentive as well. Great first time experience!

    My first West African food ever!!!…read more Tried GOLDEN BOWL as the nice lady at the cashier suggested. Jesus! It's mind-blowing! The Spices. The Aroma. The perfectly charred BBQ Chicken. The perfectly cooked Brown Rice accompanied by the Tomato Chutney of some kind. The Sauce is also out of this world. Had this and then head up to the Rooftop Garden with a Twin Star Boba in my hand.

I can't believe I waited so long to try the GOLDEN BOWL. This is one of the best bites to enter my mouth in a long time. ChopnBlok is nestled away inside of POST Houston. Their menu is quaint, and in fact, the famous Golden Bowl was not visible on the menu. Fortunately, the had a few signature dishes on display - the Golden Bowl was one of them. The Golden Bowl is one of the most complex and well balanced dishes I've ever had. Sweet, salty, smoky, spicy, and soulful, this dish is an explosion for flavors that will have your tongue tingling. The succulent grilled chicken, fluffy jollof jambalaya, stewed plantain and crunchy black eyed peas work together to create an unbelievable mix of textures that keep you excited for the next bite... and the next... and then suddenly it's gone. My only regret was sharing the bowl with my husband. I could probably eat two orders in one sitting. If you haven't had a Golden Bowl, please do your tastebuds a favor and get yourself over to ChopnBlok.

There's not a lot of African restaurants in Cypress, but this place is definitely worth a try. Still can't get over the texture of fufu! It's so pleasant with the soups.

It had so much flavor in it mmmm! My husband loved his goat meat he didn't leave behind a single thing, cleaned the whole plate...at his fufu and then some of mine. Service/ambiance: They are the sweetest people you'll ever meet. It was obvious we didn't know anything about the menu and several people approached us to help us get something they think we would like. Didn't even feel like we were eating out but instead eating at a friend's or family's house. We went a bit late so I think people were getting off work and it was clear that this place feels like home for everyone because they were coming just to hang out and eat. Such a lovely place and the best fufu I tried (after eating it I tried it at another few spots just for the comparison - no one could compare).

    Oooooooh sweet mother of pearl! I stumbled on a gem today! Afrikiko is on fire (though the door was…read moreopen so it was kinda chilly)!!!! From the minute I walked in, I knew that the odds would most likely be in my favor. First of all there are two huge portraits of the female proprietess and her husband flanking the cash register, in full Asante regalia. Which totally made me feel like I was in someone's living room looking at their mantle, versus at a restaurant. But it added a touch of culture and a huge sense of pride. There was a older man waiting for food, staring at the big screen tv, DANCING to the music. This is a great sign! Do you know how good this food is about to be, because I do, if it makes Papa DANCE!!! Oh yeah, I was getting excited. There was a fridge stocked FULL TO THE BRIM and spilling over onto the floor of every soda, both American and African, plus several types of beer. To me this read as "yup, you gone be thirsty after this FIYAHHHHHH"! And they weren't wrong! My food came out piping hot, relatively quickly, and paired with warm water for hand washing! Not every African restaurant is this traditional, so I again, knew it was about to go down!!!!! I would get into a lengthy description of the groundnut soup but that would waste more of your time reading, instead of driving, STRAIGHT TO Afrikiko!!! I will say that the side of spinach that I requested was so smooth and tomatoey and robust with flavor, that I was thoroughly surprised. I was expecting just a side of sautéed spinach, maybe a bit of onion or garlic, but that damn spinach was soooooo good I almost licked the bowl. If I could give 10 stars I would! This place will make me drive from Dallas yall! And you should too! Worth every single penny I spent! Thanks Afrikiko!

I walked into the clean, chilled ambiance building and felt completely lost. I had no idea that it's a contactless experience. The order must be placed electronically prior to arriving or at a kiosk upon arrival. Once you've placed your order and paid for it, you take a seat and wait to be notified via text message. When your food is ready, your text message will direct you to a locker number which will go to and unlock by clicking on a link provided in your text message. Thankfully, there was a kind Harris County Deputy who was also visiting for the first time and patiently worked with me to make sure I was able to place my order. I think the concept is innovative here in the U.S. (been going on in Asian countries) and could really take off. However, there should be available signs with directives posted both outside and inside of the building. The food was just as delicious as it was the first time.
