Mande Dibi - Whole Tilapia (fried) - African Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

I have been here several times to enjoy a meal. I normally get the turkey leg. The turkey leg is definitely fallen off the bone. I'm assuming that they cooked them through and maybe some type of flavorful broth. I also enjoy their rice that comes on the side or I will get plantains. I have also tried their oxtails and they are OK as well. The service is pretty good. I haven't had any issues with ordering my food or getting any recommendations on food that I should try from them also, when you come to the restaurant, there's also a store that is connected to the restaurant as well which is convenient when you're looking for some authentic herbals. read more

Yum!!! I'm pretty sure the same guy that owns Bala's Bistro, owns this place! I placed an order on Uber Eats to give this place a try. The food was SO good!! I really wanted some egusi and fufu, so I ordered me some. I also got some fried plantains. Everything was hot and ready to eat when I received it. Plenty of food for the price and it was so good and flavorful. Even the leftovers were good the next day! I will most definitely be back. read more

Mande Dibi - Fried Plantain; Egusi Soup; Potato FUFU - African Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

I don't know why it took me so long to try this place, it's fantastic! The restaurant is located in a strip mall and has a market inside so you can purchase seasonings and other ingredients. I was warmly greeted by a very nice lady and she answered my questions about the menu and took my order. There are a few tables for you to dine in but it looks like a mostly to go place. I ordered Egusi Soup with Fufu and a Ginger Lime Juice. The Egusi Soup had Chicken, Smoked Turkey, Melon Seed and Spinach in it. I wanted to eat it there while my Fufu was still hot. Well, as soon as I tasted the first bite I knew I would be back to this place soon! The soup is rich and very flavorful, just the right amount of seasoning perfect for eating Fufu. I took my leftovers home and had another incredible meal. By the way, this is the sister restaurant of Bala Bistro. I can't recommend this place enough and the refreshing Ginger Lime Juice. read more

The food at Mande Dibi is incredible, it's some of the best food I've had in a long time! We went for lunch to try out the buffet. I had the collard greens, salmon, lamb, potato fufu, and the egusi soup. The soup is probably one of my new favorite foods. I like how they charge per pound, and the person behind the counter serves the food. I've already decided I'll be going back for lunch next week as well. The inside was very pleasant and clean, and there is a small grocery area inside. I bought some African soap and a net sponge from them as well. Everyone should check this place out, I need it to stay around forever! read more

The plate had enough food to feed at least two people. My first time trying thieb rice. Delicious. The egusi and the okra stew were extremely seasoned. The chicken was perfect. The menu is a bit overwhelming. I live that they have some grocery items that are not available in the usual stores. They also have packaged herbs and butters. I'll become a regular read more

Great tasting food. Quick service. Store in restaurant has some nice things to pick up before you leave. Nice people.

Delicious! They let us try everything before committing and even gave us some drink samples. Their hibiscus tea was amazing, and their meat was falling off the bone tender. read more

My friend and I saw this restaurant on the list for MBRW '24 and decided to give it a try. We went as soon as they opened, so the wait wasn't too bad. We both had trouble deciding what to eat, as everything looked so delicious! I finally decided on the Salmon Thiou (pronounced choo) and got a side salad to go along with it. When the server brought out our food, the portion sizes was ridiculous! There was seriously enough for 3 separate meals! And while it was delicious, my salmon dish was really spicy. I didn't see anything to indicate the spice level, so I really couldn't enjoy it to the fullest. This dish is a salmon meatball, and it is likely be bound together with bread, which is an issue for gluten-sensitive people such as myself. I ended up giving the remainder of my dish to my husband who is a spice guy and he definitely enjoyed it. The young lady working the register was kind and patient. The restaurant was clean, homey, and inviting. Overall, I think hubby and I will definitely be back to try some other fares. I'll be sure to ask about the spice levels and ingredients the next time though! read more

Mande Dibi - Salmon Thiou, white rice, and side salad - African Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

So I really like this place. It has a lot to offer here. I came here last year for a pickup order. So I didn't get a chance to eat inside this time. I got a chance to dine in and I enjoyed the experience. I had the a goose soup with the foofu, and these items were on display as a part of their buffet options. Now I also decided to order their goat dib to go, and I can happily say that I enjoyed everything from the agousie stew that I ate inside to the goat dibbie that I ate later that day. I also enjoyed the store. Uh, front options that they had. That is a part of the extension to the restaurant so you can purchase things including food items. If you want to make your own African inspired food choices from home. They had things from the turmeric to goosey and foo ingredients. So I will definitely be back to buy these things so that I can try making this at home. They also have a lot of beverages and sea moss options in their storefront section, so you can purchase things like that as well. The inside of the restaurant is pretty roomy. They have a lot of tables to dine. It can seem a little cold because there might not be a lot of people there, but that really is based off of people coming and they should, because the food in it.It's really good here. read more

Mande Dibi - African Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

One of the best places for African comfort food if you ask me. Last time I went it did take a while to get my food but it was great. Everything from the chicken to the collards to the jollof was amazing. I got an extra jollof to go. LOL! read more

The food here was pretty OK. I tried the meat pies. The meat pies had plenty of meat. I thought maybe that the pies would have other ingredients such as maybe vegetables or cheese, but it is truly a meat pie. I like the onion relish that comes with it. The salad has an acquired taste, but not bad. The chocolate cake was my least favorite. Unfortunately, the cake was pretty dry. The icing was rich but not bad. Because of the sponge the cake was a no go for me. I also tried the hibiscus juice. It is good if you are the type that enjoy sweetness. It was overly sweet for my liking, but I'm sure others may enjoy it. I will be willing to come back and give some other items a try. read more

This is real authentic African cuisine. Everything was delicious!! The owner Bala runs a fabulous ki

This place is amazing! The service was outstanding. They answered all of our questions about the menu, and we were able to try dishes before we ordered them. It was so helpful because it was our first time there. The food was incredible. We loved everything we tried but our favorites were the thiep yapp with lamb and jollof rice. We also tried their slushees and they were delicious. They have different flavors but we went with the hibiscus slush and tamarind mixed with ginger lime. 10/10 recommend this place we will coming back soon to try more of the menu!!! read more

This was surprisingly one of the best meals I've ever had in Memphis in life. The Greens, spinach patties and the turkey leg was the juiciest I've even known plus the seasoning, the sauce on that thang was beyond delicious. My Mom who doesn't like eating much had the brisket sandwich and got through it in 2 days and she does not like left overs. This food was so incredible I called the restaurant and asked to speak with the owner who was so mannerable. I learned they have 2 locations from that call. Amazing read more

Okay so I lived in Ghana for several years and being back stateside has been particularly hard since I personally think the food is so much better over there so when I stumbled upon this place through Uber eats I HAD to give it a try!

Huge portions and great food 100000% recommendation!! read more
