I have been missing home and craving Amala…read moreand Gbegiri for a while now and my sister for a while now has been talking about Salt and Pepper. First of all that's such a lovely name for a restaurant. So I'm in Dallas for the day and my sister decided to take me to the "famous salt and pepper" for some Gbegiri and Amala and all I can say is wowzersss. We walked into the restaurant and the space was big . The ambiance was not bad and the restaurant was clean. We ordered our food and all I can say is that the food was very tasty and one of the best and if not the best Amala I have ever eaten. The meat was so soft and the Amala was just the right size. The food was delicious! The flavor from the meats and the stew with the Gbegiri was just amazeballs!! To the chef well done. The hostess was very nice and professional.

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.

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!

When I shared Fusion Vibes with the girls they were all for it! We met the owner, Will as soon as we arrived. What a top notch host! He asked someone from the restaurant to bring us menus and take our order when we were ready. Someone from the bar also took our drink order. We loved this place! There's a live DJ playing Afrobeats all night. We were dancing in our chairs the whole time. There was also an option to smoke hookah. We ordered jerk wings and the suya wings. Our friend ordered the okra seafood soup. We really enjoyed our food. Especially the meat pies! We ate like royalty while enjoying our cocktails and music the whole time. Will came and told us a bit about the history of the space. I really really recommend this spot! We aren't local to the area but we all agreed this spot is HOT and we'd come back!

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.

Anyone who knows north Dallas, during rain, and rush hour, on Skillman....let's just say I was land locked and my food didn't stand a chance making it out of the parking lot From start to finish, Feme, made my first experience having authentic Liberian cuisine, and visiting this establishment, a shear joy. He was super helpful when placing my order and gave awesome suggestions of dishes to try, taking time to explain the ingredients and such. Upon arrival his shining personality wowed me again. My food was hot and ready for the taking, the place was sparkling clean and well decorated, as if a wedding reception or a party were about to take place. A bit much for regular Tuesday afternoon decor, but I don't mind a being a bit EXTRA every now and then! Like I said, my food didn't stand a chance! Someone, Kiss that chef because she is in that kitchen whipping up fire! I have tried palm butter soup at parties with my Ivorian friends but had been wanting to try the Liberian version, since seeing a dank recipe on YouTube a couple months back. Let's just say.... I had high flavor expectations! Well.... honey, Miss Chef in the back at little Monrovia Lounge blew my hopes, dreams, and TASTEBUDS out the water!!! The turkey and fish in the soup were both cooked to perfection, with fantastic balance of tenderness and firmness. When you get a good chew but you're not tiring your jaw or eating mush. The soup base itself, looked a bit oily, upon initial inspection, but as I began dipping that perfectly smooth fufu into the soup, sopping up all the juice, I quickly realized I was in heaven! Y'all, just try it!! And if your mouth ain't watering from this review, you're a hater

When we entered the place was completely dark because of the above so they turned the lights on and got us comfortable. Amazing customer service as well as history lesson at first. Followed by pretty great food, I got the rum punch on happy hour which I was excited to see hoping to return. When our bill came this wasn't reflected so I brought this up to the waiter, they denied that was the case (even though the menu said such.) Still they said they would take care of it (mind you there was another discrepancy for the stew price) and didn't do so & overcharged my card. Sad that such a gem had to be ruined by untrustworthiness.

They have recently updated the decor, tables, and added new window dressings which makes it a pleasant experience. They also have an additional room you can rent for parties, birthdays etc. My favorite food here is the egusi with beef & pounded yam, and the goat pepper soup for starters. A big plus with this restaurant is the consistency with their food. I have found that in other African restaurants, you can get really good food one day, and the next visit it is not so good. Or, one day it will be just right (pepper-wise), and the next visit it will burn your mouth so bad you can't finish. Not so with Yembol. I have always received exactly what I expected at Yembol. This is a family-friendly restaurant - we bring our 4 children here at least once every 2 weeks and they love it (they get to eat with their hands!). Highly Recommended.
