We had a meat pie, Nigerian salad, puff puffs, a chicken dish with tomato rice side, and beef sticks. All of the food was prepared fresh and wonderful. I loved that they were playing eastern African music. Toe tapping and hip shaking ambiance. Decent price for a lot of food. I would recommend. There is very little parking so park on the street and walk in. They also deliver.

I was the only person there (it was early) and everyone was really warm and welcoming. I was going to get the food to go but decided to eat it there. The tablecloth was pretty dirty but it was more than made up for by how welcome I felt. And Three's Company was playing on the TV. What if Mr. Roper thought that Jack and Chrissy were in the bed together? Wouldn't that be crazy? Better act super over the top! Anyway, food: 10/10, service: 10/10, cleanliness: 5/10, bonus points to make up for it: 10

This restaurant is in the strip Plaza next to the New Horizon childcare. Colorful decorated restaurant and the owners super nice. I've always thought they served breakfast because I've seen breakfast items on their menu, but there's more. My daughter loves the egusi and fufu. I asked if they have any sambusa left and they did not but recommended I try the meat pie which has the same filling. That was delicious. The serving size for the egusi is big and good price. Tasty and spicy!

First time coming to Value foods and only second time trying African food. Overall great…read moreexperience. It's a grocery store with a butcher shop and then the deli counter in the back of the market. There was a line of about 6 people and after we lined up, more people waiting. The person ordering ahead of me was telling me that he was getting the whole fried tilapia and plantains, which was his favorite. Not gonna lie, sure did look good! We ordered the red okra stew, collard greens, and goat soup. They offer regular and large sizes and your choice of fufu or rice. Also ordered the fried plantains and a meat pie. The guy behind the counter was friendly and helpful. He let us know which ones contained peanuts (my son has a peanut allergy) and which ones were considered spicy (goat stew) but since I love spicy foods, I didn't mind. My review of the food: -Red Okra with fish and fufu: delicious, greasy, and flavorful. Be careful because the fish was a big chunk and still had bones. -Collard greens with meat and fufu: I think meat was chicken. Our favorite dish of all of them. Flavorful, greasy, and delicious. -Goat Stew and rice: so full of meat (with bones). The Goat chunks remind me of pork belly (fatty, chewy, flavorful). This stew was spicy. Strong goat flavor. Had habanero peppers. -plantains: they gave us so much! Starchy and sweet. Yummy -meat pie: was just ok. Felt a little dry. Overall good experience. Food was so flavorful and full of spices. A little more greasier than how I normally like to eat but the grease also helped with eating the fufu. Total bill was about $60. Was enough food to feed about 5-6 people. No seating area. Everything is packaged for to-go orders.

Mid 2021- I was in this strip mall getting my hair done when a hairstylist from Liberia walked in with this delicious smelling food. I asked her where she got it from, and explained to her that I have been unable to find a Liberian restaurant that taste like "home" here in the Twin Cities, and she vouched that this place was pretty good. It's been a wrap ever since. I order the same thing every single time, which is a bit costly. I think my entire order usually comes between $50 - $65, depending on if I get a small or large. I order the Whole Fish with Jolof Rice, & Collard Greens with No Meat (which you can order by size, S M L XL) The Whole Fish is nicely coated with this delicious seasoning and cooked to perfection! The Jolof Rice is delicious. The Collard Greens are so good, I've never tasted greens like it! Very original taste and I love that it's served with white rice. There is a young man who is always working, and he is very pleasant and easy to talk to. They don't have a lot of beverage options, but they do have a small grocer isle for you to purchase miscellaneous things like rice, beans, bouyon's, beverages, etc. There is a large parking lot, so parking should never be an issue. This is located in a strip mall so you are surrounded by many other merchants. If you are quickly picking up, there is space for you to pull up briefly close to their entrance. I plan to keep supporting this place. I think the food is amazing, the staff is kind, and I always have a pleasant experience.

I'm hooked on cassava, palm butter, potato green and the chicken and beef kabobs. The food is very good and they hook you up with a large portion. Prices are fair for what they give you. You can eat on a plate for 2 days. The place is a small grocery store with a hot deli inside. The deli is where you can order your food at the hot bar. You tell them what you want and they get it to you. The service is fair. You may have to wait in a small line as it's busy and it can be a bit more organized but nothing too hectic or difficult.

We decided to order from this restaurant because they are open until 9pm. I've driven past this area before and was surprised the gas station is now a grocery store, part to the deli. They have ready made food behind the glass to choose from. There's tables and chairs available for dine in. When I ordered the Egusi I was surprised the lady asked what type of meat I would like to add. I was never asked that at other restaurants, I have a choice? I requested chicken, fish, and beef. Egusi was delicious and spicy. Restaurant is small yet colorful. Pictures of the entree they offer along the wall and down the hallway.

It's all been consistently made fresh well and perfectly seasoned. Staff is always super helpful even though I butcher the pronunciation of some dishes. There's plenty of meat options but you can get them all vegetarian if you want. My personal favorites are the beef patties and sweet plantains. You'll find that this place gets extremely busy right around lunch and dinner time, but always stays clean despite it being small and seating maybe 7 groups at a time. If you're looking for an ethnic/home style option this is it!

I only wish the portions were bigger for my fat ass especially if I'm driving far I want more. I guess I could order more but I'm always scared they would judge me for ordering too much. Also I do not want to wait forever for the food, this time I did have to wait about 45 min to an hour for the food but I guess it was fresh. I like that you can pick up to 3 meats for your meal. Love the options but I do wish there were more pictures or descriptions for us newbies who don't really know what to order. Very small place but I appreciate some seating area if you do decide you want to eat there. The guy taking our order was very nice and friendly.

Flavorful and mild, this is probably the first time the dish was not spicy. The server did give me the habanero sauce on the side. They offer 3 sizes, regular, large, and extra large.
