When parties are 6 or more a 18% gratuity is included in the bill our total was $110 which for all the food we received was a pretty good deal. Everyone left full and there was still unfinished rice. The service was good, just note that they operate on Caribbean time so the food does take a little bit more time. The waitress did check in here and there, but if you needed something extra it did take time before she circled back around to our table. The place was not full when we went, but during a packed house, I imagine you will need to pack your patience. All the food was prepared fresh and was very good. The jerk chicken had just enough spice to feel it, but not overwhelm you. The stewed chicken was nice and flavorful and a good dish for someone to dip their toe into African/Caribbean cuisine. The jollof rice was very tasty preferred this over their rice and beans a nice little smoky flavor very well sliced. The oxtail was flavorful and melt off the bone. Plantains they served were the sweet ones, I prefer the unripened plantains but these were prepared well if you like the sweet variety should enjoy these plantains.

I have clearly asked the lady if Chicken Suya is made from raw chicken breast instead of thin slices that are usually why Suya is a bit expensive.

Not a good experience and I would ask the restaurant work on a standard menu first that is same across all platforms.

I was craving African food and since I was close to this location at the time and didn't feel like…read moredriving far, Royal was our choice. Let me say that we were not disappointed with our choice. Nothing fancy about the dine in area and it would have been nice if they had some nice Afro beats music playing on the televisions to create a more lively atmosphere. Many restaurants miss the mark when they ignore the atmosphere of their space and people aren't walking into a lifeless environment. Hope they take time to focus more on livening up the place. We sat ourselves as they seemed to be short staffed and after about 5 minutes or so we asked for a menu and after another few minutes we got one. There was no host at the host station and it looked like 3 male staff members were holding down the fort. We ordered fast because we were sooooo hungry. We hadn't eaten since breakfast and it was about 4:30pm and we just kept looking for our food to come out but was reassured it was on the way. Wasn't an unreasonable amount of time but we were so hungry it seemed longer. The food! We ordered egusi soup/stew, okra soup/stew and bitter leaf soup/stew with fufu for each. And then later ordered some suya to take home to hubby. My daughter gave the egusi a 5/5 and I gave it a 3.5/5, the okra stew with chicken and beef was sooo delish, I was trying not to do a happy dance in my chair. And the bitter leaf, as its names states, is bitter but not overwhelmingly so, at least for me, and it had great flavor! The fufu texture and taste was perfect. Many different countries have their take on each of these dishes so don't go in with a specific country in mind and judge it based on how you do it in Cameroon or Ghana, etc.. Go in expecting a version of these dishes that taste good, is served piping hot and loaded with two meats of your choice. I chose tripe and beef in my bitter leaf and chicken and beef in my okra stew. We packed out leftovers and ordered suya to go. The amount of Suya you get for $17.00 is not worth it. It is literally a handful and it could be juicier and a better cut of beef but with the suya spice added followed by some onion it was decent. And since they give such a small amount they should consider not putting it in a full size take out container and maybe consider upping the quantity especially with the cut of beef they use and the price. That's the good, the not so good and the not so ugly. Overall, the food was on point and we enjoyed it very much. Some minor tweaks with service, ambience and portions and this place will be even better. I'll be back. That is all!

The Egusi soup was delicious, but I was a little thrown off by the taste of the fufu. Not to say the food wasn't good, but it just threw me off as a new taste since I've had fufu from other African restaurants. I always get the Jolof rice because I am a country girl, and I have to add extra carbs to my vegetables. It was soooooo good. I probably don't eat right since I always have to eat my Egusi or vegetables. The chicken was delicious too, but I think the Southern African American in me was missing something, lol. With all jokes aside, the food was delicious, and I truly enjoyed it all. I need an hour to get some African cuisine where I live now. Oh, I can't forget the service. Even though we had to wait an hour (yes, you may want to call and pick up rather than sit there and eat if you don't have patience), the vibe was friendly. The lady tending to our order was very kind and friendly. She preferred Jolof rice, and we had some jokes when she came by to check on us as we waited. If you are in the area, this is a great place to stop by. Come on a day you aren't in a rush (but don't hold up a table either... you know who you are). That way, you can dine in. You know the experiences are always better when you can dine in.

I should've heeded the warning of the other reviews, but I thought I would give a small business a chance. I was absolutely wrong. My first clue should've been the lack of customers in the restaurant. My second clue should've been that 90 sanitation rating. My third clue should've been the lack of food in the chafing dishes upfront. My fourth clue should've been when I was charged more than the posted price for the soup (which came to $19.47). I ignored all of this just to support a small business. Beware. If I could have given zero stars I would have. I hope this place shuts down soon. It is a real waste of space.

I decided to give this place a try to see what theirs was all about and I'm so glad that I did! The street tacos were Small But Mighty! They were packed to the brim and full of flavor. The Suya beef tacos was so flavorful & tender, I really couldn't believe it! The Suya chicken tacos were flavorful & delicious as well. The Suya wings - they catered to my spice level & placed the spice on the side.

The food arrived piping hot, which was promising, but the egusi was overwhelmingly salty to the point it tasted like spoonfuls of salt. The puff puff was dry and lacked the light, slightly chewy texture I've had elsewhere. I've eaten this dish in many places and, sadly, this was the first time I found it genuinely unpalatable. What went wrong: egusi massively oversalted; puff puff dry and stale; seasoning balance missing. What could improve: tone down the salt, check batch seasoning before sending orders, and refresh the puff puff so it's soft and slightly oily as expected. I won't be ordering again and can't recommend this place based on this meal.

I did not go in but I saw the inside a bit and it looked decent, cute, and clean from a far. It was very easy to order over the phone and the food was ready in like 10 or so minutes after we got there (could have been shorter due to hangry symptoms). It was apparently busy though.
