My fiancé and I ordered the Okra Soup with Tilapia and the Suya with Jollof Rice. We got our food really fast, but the Okra soup was served with pork instead of tilapia but we didn't mind. That was so good. It was served with a side of White Yam Fufu which is kinda like mashed potatoes but more gooey. By itself I wasn't too fond of the Fufu but with the soup it was good. The Suya wasn't bad. It was really dry beef, kind of like a beef jerky consistency. That came with a side of salad. I don't think I would order Suya again only because I'm not a fan of dry beef. I can't wait to come back and try the other dishes! Our waitress was super nice and welcoming and we did ask her for her opinion on what to order since we had never had African food before and I'm glad we did!

I am not sure what has changed but this weekend I had a very disappointing visit. The service was…read morefriendly but once I got home (45 mins away) I realized I was definitely hustled. I ordered mix meat stew with jollof and received literally 2 pieces of edible meat and 1 non edible piece. Egusi had a weird taste but garri was perfect. For $60 to cover 2 take out orders, I felt hustled. The food was already packed up so I guess if I had stopped and checked before leaving, I could have asked for the rest of the meal because there is NO WAY this is what would be served if I was dining in.

Stumbled upon this while doing a search for Nigerian food specifically Jollof rice. At the time of…read morethis writing I was starting to give up hope on my search for quality like home Nigerian food in Atlanta. I've tried Ike's (not impressed), Little Lagos (trash), Cafe Songhai (OK), Toyin (not consistent). I decided to take a chance on this place because of the menu. I checked out their Instagram and saw some activity and pictures so I said why not? Pricing was reasonable. Customer service was BEYOND. My contact person was Yemisi and not only is she courteous but very pleasant and communicative from time of order placed to delivery. There is a delivery fee of $15. Pickup is in Gwinnett county area if wanting to avoid the delivery fee. When you place your order plan for a 2-3 day window for delivery. Packaging was EXCELLENT. Slight spillage from the stew but it's inevitable and overall packaging was great. I loved the baked goods especially the sausage roll and scotch eggs which packed a kick in heat with the spice level of the sausage. I appreciated that. I love spicy food. It was a slow burn (like black pepper spice not habanero peppers spice) so don't think it's spicy. Sausage rolls 5/5 just look at the beauties in the picture and they taste so good Meat pies 4/5 the filling is very soft like a baby could eat it but I loved the crust. I'm a fan of ground meat but not minced meat if that makes sense. Flavor was great though. Jollof rice 4/5 I was expecting more spice. I would order this again but request more heat. If you top it with the goat meat stew this will also help. Goat meat stew My favvvvv! So good. The type of stew you would find at Nigerian parties and weddings etc. Sooo good, spicy and flavorful and the meat was tenderrrr like I love. Would order this again and again and again in a heartbeat. Scotch eggs The showstopper! Listen I LOVE Scotch eggs and the way they made these. Let me tell you right now, hands down, the BEST Scotch eggs I've had the pleasure of eating. Sooooo good! The crunch of the exterior, the slow heat/slow burn of the sausage surrounding the perfectly boiled egg. WOW!!!!

You know nothing about serving customers in the restaurant industry. Every real restauranteur knows the at 1 minute to close you are full service. Lost a customer for life!

But whatever you'll be closed in a year no doubt

Located in a strip mall, the restaurant is pretty unassuming, though many great restaurants are…read more When you walk in, there's almost a nightclub vibe inside. Very dark and not many traditional tables and chairs. I came around lunch time and there were quite a few ladies in beautiful traditional dress (it was Christmas Eve). I had called ahead and ordered takeout and when I walked in I was promptly acknowledged. Food arrived in the quoted time (25 minutes). Nigerian cuisine is not one I'm incredibly familiar with, but I have tried many of the standard dishes. Today I went with White Rice and Red Stew, which comes with plantains. It was delicious. Piping hot and incredibly fresh. The spice level was perfect. Just spicy enough but in no way overpowering. The plantains added a sweet element which played beautifully against the spice of the stew. The only place they lost points was the price on the website is not the price I was charged. $19 on the website and I was charged $25 but maybe they just haven't updated to reflect current prices. Regardless, I really enjoyed my food and can't wait to go back and try some other dishes. Edit: Take note, it doesn't say "The Island Grill" on the sign. It says "The African Grill."

Ate here a week ago and still dreaming about the Suya fries! I actually learned of this spot from a…read morenon-related Yelp review that mentioned the restaurant - looked it up and it was 12 mins away from me! I've been looking for a new African restaurant to try close by, so it was really just my luck. We came for takeout on a slow Sunday - the wonderful waitress helped us order (didn't get her name). She even kindly brought our order to the car while we were waiting, very nice of her. We ordered Suya fries, Suya beef & jollof with goat and plantain. Truly blown away by the Suya fries as I've never had anything like it before - delicious. The flavors were THERE. Seasoning was on point and the mayo based sauce on top was so damn good. Beef was flavorful and juicy. Jollof and goat was spicy and also delicious. I can't speak for in-dining experience, however they do have a stage inside, so looks like they host various events throughout the week. I will absolutely be returning. So happy we found this tucked away gem!!!!!

Solid food and excellent service! We'll start with what I ordered:…read more Jollof Efo Riro w Snapper Spring rolls Black Eye Pea Stew Pounded Yams Standout of the meal were the spring rolls with Shito dipping sauce. Just yum! It was my first time having shito. The Jollof wasn't my favorite, unfortunately, but it finally settled the debate for me once and for all - I'm team Nigerian when it comes to Jollof. Although the Efo Riro was nicely flavored, the mix of collard greens did not compliment this dish as I thought it would. I prefer it with spinach and from my Nigerian food connect (Mina's Jollof in LA). Hers can't be beaten! Black Eye Peas were unique, and the plantains were cooked nicely. Now for the ambiance: We were one of two tables during the day, so having the place for ourselves felt nice. It also looked tidy. Our waitress was a sweetheart. I forgot her name, but she was attentive. Would I return? Perhaps when revisiting ATL. Overall: The experience was enjoyable!

I absolutely love some of the African food choices and with the recommendation of a good friend of mine - this place came up! Really easy to get too. It's right behind Bahama breeze off exit 104 (85) so you can't miss it! There's plenty of parking. The staff are helpful but make sure you know how to pronounce the foods or speaking Igbo/ Yoruba helps too :) The food: man this is the best part of the review. The food is so freaking good! My gawwwddd lol! Like all jokes aside this food was so good. I literally didn't take many breaths eating from each dish. The fish and plantains meal is the bomb - I had it yesterday. But today for my family - I got the following: Rice and stew (fish steamed rice and plantains) Pepper soup Coconut rice w/ chicken Soo yummy! The reason for the 4 stars is because the wait for the food took forever! Also- the menu shows shrimp coconut rice but there's no shrimp! It's fresh to order so you're gonna wait a good 2 -3 hours. I almost laughed because I never heard a restaurant say that even if it took that long lol Overall, definitely going back!

The pounded yam was smooth and not too thick. I had fun scooping up the Egusi in the Fufu with my hands. Both together was an enjoyable flavor and texture combo. The Beef Suya was good as well, a nice meat appetizer. The beef was cooked well done which some people may not like, but I enjoyed it since I grew up eating my steak that way. It paired very well with the spice blend and raw onions. I also had the Ghanaian Jollof Rice and that was not my most favorite dish due to the flavor. Not my cup of tea, but the rice was cooked well. I also liked the side plantains. The interior is nicely ornate and comfy. The service here was also super great and my assigned server was very personable. I genuinely enjoyed my conversation with her and she did well giving me recommendations and directions as a first timer for this type of food. Overall, I had a great experience here and would come back again!

I love the flavors of a sauce. I liked everything spicy so I did ask for a side of pepper and that hit the spot. I also got a nice ginger beer they make in house, I can taste the freshness And the ginger doesn't overtake the drink.

There I had a friend that had questions about the menu and basically she answered with one word responses. "It's chicken. It's beef. There's rice." My friend was annoyed. I thought it was kind of funny. My other friend ordered a Coke Zero and she brought out a diet Coke. It's not the same. I don't really care but he does. She said they were out so he pointed to another friend and asked can he get that water flavor drink instead. The lady said no because that drink cost a little more. Ridiculous. The food was good. I liked the jollof rice and the plantains. I thought that goat and beef was too tough though. Would I come back here again? No. The cashier/server clearly didn't want us to be there so I'll look for another West African place.

They will offer bottled water as if it's the only option since there is a charge associated with it; however, tap water is available for free but you have to request it. We ordered around 7:31pm and received our food within thirty minutes. Because this is a hookah bar, the tables on the restaurant side are very low. You'll have to lean forward and down if you have the food delivered to you there. We were sitting at the low tables first but decided to head to the bar so we could actually sit at normal table height to eat. The steak kabobs were cooked too hard. They didn't ask how we wanted them cooked and we didn't think to tell them medium, so we just dealt with the overly well-done. They had a good taste, but they were just really tough to chew. The jollof rice with chicken and plantains was absolutely delicious; however, one of the chicken legs was really dark on the inside which made me not want to eat it, so I left half of that leg on the plate. I did dump the jollof rice into the sauce that the chicken sat in though because it was amazing. I loved the spice it added to the meal. The taste of all of the food was phenomenal. The jollof rice is definitely the star of both meals.

It was completely inedible and unsafe. The plantains were just as disappointing. They appeared cooked on the outside, but the inside was still raw and undercooked. It's hard to understand how something as basic as plantain could be prepared so poorly. To make matters worse, Uber Eats did not provide a full refund, despite the food being unfit to eat. I would strongly advise others to avoid this place. My experience was extremely disappointing, and the quality of the food was unacceptable.
