    Chop the presses
    Fox E.

    When they said they were going to circumcize me, I didn't exactly say "Kom chop!", and so I got away with foreskin intact. I wonder if I also have my fiveskin intact now that I think about it. So this is a pretty delicious African restaurant serving what is a very large and ever-growing population of West Africans in the Houston area. Everything I've had here is delicious, and it's not the cheapest (you'll pay over 10 for a meal, for sure), but it's far from expensive and we're looking forward to exploring the menu more than just the Pepper Soup that we've had so far. Definitely a big fan, and although service isn't the best in the world, the food can be pretty magical and it's well worth coming and giving it a try.

    Jollof Rice with Chicken and Fried Plantains
    Lacy P.

    Decided to try this place do to my husband wanting west African food. The restaurant was clean and family friendly. The woman who took our order was helpful and had a friendly presence. I ordered the jollof rice with chicken and fried plantains. My husband ordered the Goat Pepper Soup. The chicken was really good and in my opinion gave the Jollof rice the flavor. The rice by itself I feel would be a bit bland. The goat pepper soup had a good flavor but was very oily and gave us heart burn.

    Chicken w/ stew. I asked for it dry!

    This is my first time having food from Komchop. I have been thinking of going in for awhile but never did. I decided to order food from here but restaurants like this you have to be very careful or go in person because they tend to not read the instructions or just plain ignore them. I have been feeling under the weather so I was craving some spicy pepper soup because it is very healthy when you are sick. Very delicious. I did like the taste of the pepper soup as well the amount of meat pieces to soup. It can stand to be a little more spicy but my taste buds are a little off. One thing I did not appreciate is I asked for a single piece of dry chicken specifically without stew on it. I know that most people eat it with stew, I do not. Again, I do not. That's why I asked for it dry. I'm not eating it with rice. If they wanted to ignore my request at least put the stew on the side so I can trash it and enjoy my chicken as I please. Now I paid $8.99 for soggy chicken. I don't know if it's worth returning here to order pepper soup again. I might, I might not.

    Probably the best looking Naija spot, ambiance and asthetic wise...very very fancy Food was beyond delicious..the vegetable soup reminded me of my Aunty's soup in the village tbh...meats were properly seasoned and cooked. Very clear that the ppl here know what propa Naija cooking is...will be here again!!

    The food was good & the environment was welcoming. The woman at the register was very helpful.

    Poor packaging
    Mike S.

    Well, I guess I made the mistake of ordering my spaghetti jollof with "assorted" meat. So I guess someone went out into the neighborhood and scrounged up whatever they could find because this was inedible. Thank God the fish was good so at least I got to eat. Have no idea what species the fish was but at this point I guess who cares. Could use a little more attention to the packaging for delivery.

    This was our first time trying African food and they did not disappoint. The food was full of flavor and spice. Prices was reasonable. Service was great. We will be back.

    Jollof rice was good but fish was very dry and overcooked . Like they cooked it the day before, reheated it and then added sauce

    I got a plate of jollof rice with chicken and a side of spinach. Everything tasted good, but I just wish the jollof rice was spicier.

The steak was supposed to be tender, but it was tough and chewy, and I only received three tiny pieces for a $10 steak add-on. I ordered my meal to go and didn't realize until I got home that my order was incorrect. I specifically ordered it with jollof rice, but I was given plain white rice instead. I tried to give the restaurant a chance to make things right by calling them. Instead of addressing my concerns, I was told they were busy and to call back in a few hours. That was frustrating, especially after spending $40 on a meal and an appetizer. Overall, the small portions, poor quality steak, incorrect order, and lack of immediate customer service made this one of the worst dining experiences I've had. Unfortunately, I won't be returning, and I can't recommend this restaurant based on my experience.

I shared the fufu with egusi soup with stewed goat added, the Stewed Hen, Moin Moin, & Jollof Rice, and the meat pie with a friend and it was plenty for both of us. The fufu with egusi soup was super delicious with a spicy kick that I loved (7/10) . The plate was the star of the meal. Everything from the stewed hen, to the rice, to the greens were all so well seasoned and I truly enjoyed every bite (8.5/10). The meat pie was also delicious with a savory filling and the pastry was thick and buttery but surprisingly not overbearing considering the pastry to filling ratio (8/10). Overall the food was awesome and seemed quite authentic. Would definitely come back to support this small local business!

Also on top of that the location was sketchy, had no visible signage, and was dirty. Would not recommend this place at all if I could give negative stars I would.

Overall, I found the food to be very flavorful, well seasoned, and unique. My daughter and I actually ended up liking each other's meals more than our own, so we switched plates, which worked out well. We also ordered a few extra items, including wings and yams. The pounded yam was interesting and very different from anything I usually eat. It is probably not something I would go out of my way to order again, but I am glad I tried it and now understand a little better how it is eaten. The one disappointing part of the visit was the ordering experience. The young man who rang us up was polite, but he was unable to make any recommendations. He said he had been working there for about three months and still could not really suggest what to order. For someone like me, who is unfamiliar with this type of food, recommendations would have been very helpful. I would have appreciated some guidance on the most popular dishes, common choices, or what first-time customers usually enjoy. That said, the owner was extremely kind. She came out to our table, spoke with us, and helped explain how to eat some of the food we had ordered. I really appreciated that. She came across as a very sweet person, and based on her hospitality alone, I would come back to support the business. This style of food may not personally be my cup of tea or something I will crave often, but I respect the flavor, the care, and the local business behind it. I would give Bantu House four stars. It could have been closer to 3.5 for me personally, mostly because of the lack of ordering guidance, but the owner's kindness and the quality of the food pushed it to four.

The drumsticks had a slightly crispy exterior, really tender flesh, very juicy to almost falling off the bone feel to them. They were cooked thoroughly without being dried or burnt. That spicy, oily red sauce was so aromatic with just enough kick to it. It wasn't creamy, but not too watery either. The Jollof rice was smoky, savory, buttery and a little spicy. The greens had a subtle ingredient in them and complimented the rest with some earthiness, while the plantains were like a mini dessert. The plantains were very good with a really soft, creamy texture, good warmth and natural sweetness. The service was very welcoming, friendly and efficient.

I understand African cuisine isn't for everyone, but that's not why I'm leaving this review. My issue is with the service and the absurd wait time for my food. The beef plate, in particular, was disappointing the two pieces of beef were dry and could have been prepared far better.
