Plenty of parking in the strip mall and the restaurant is clean with 6 tables to dine in and eat from your to go containers. Seemed to be short staffed as we waited over 5 minutes for the cashier to finish plating up food orders and then take our order. Hubby was quite hungry by 2pm so we opted for a tasteless undercooked barely any filly veggie empanada type item from the heated prepared food box. We love jack fruit and this was the main reason for our visit. However, the curry and the jerk jackfruit were both rather tasteless. Portions are hefty and rice with pigeon peas plus overcooked cabbage are included. The few plaintains included were tasty. Food took over 20 minutes to show up for us- overall it was a long wait for meh food.

It was incredibly flavorful, tender, and easily one of the best fish dishes I've had in a long time. If I return, that's exactly what I'm ordering again. We started with the empanadas, which were tasty, but at around fourteen to fifteen dollars for two, I didn't feel they were worth the price. The tostones were very good--large, flat, and well prepared. I do wish they offered cheese with them, but they paired nicely with the fish and other meats. I ordered the chef's board because I wanted to try a variety. It came with roasted curry chicken, jerk chicken, lamb chops, and snapper. The jerk chicken had excellent flavor and was very saucy, so it can get a little messy if you prefer not to use your hands. The lamb chops were fine, but again, the star of the night was the snapper. The restaurant itself is beautiful. The interior is elegant, from the tables to the plates to the glassware. It would make a great spot for a date night, and there is also a bar area inside. Service was attentive during our visit, and the atmosphere was very pleasant. Parking is plentiful since the location is in a large lot. Overall, I'm glad we tried it. If you enjoy fish, especially grilled or fried snapper, this is a great place to visit. It was the standout of the entire meal.

Unfortunately, the inconsistent pricing and customer service around substitutions have become such an issue that I'm hesitant to return. The first time I ordered, I asked for all cabbage instead of rice. I was charged $22 for a plate that is normally $14 -- meaning I was charged an additional $8 simply for changing the rice to cabbage. The next time I went, I ordered the exact same thing: no rice, just cabbage, and my plate was $14. So I know it is possible to order the plate without rice without being charged that much. Today, I went in and asked for the same plate with no rice because I have a dietary restriction and do not eat rice. I was told that there was no option to get the plate without rice and that I had to get rice. That was frustrating because I had literally ordered the same plate without rice the previous week. What makes this even more confusing is that the restaurant's website lists an "all cabbage" option for $2.50, while DoorDash lists it for $3.50. So I'm genuinely confused as to why I was charged an additional $5 the first time I ordered all cabbage. I don't mind paying for a substitution, but the pricing needs to be consistent and transparent. As a customer, being charged different amounts for the same request and then being told an option isn't available when I've previously received it makes me feel like I'm being taken advantage of. I love the food, which is why I've continued coming back, but the pricing inconsistency has gotten to the point where I no longer feel comfortable spending my money there or recommending the restaurant to others. I sincerely hope management looks into this and addresses it with the staff. You have good food, but inconsistent and non-transparent pricing is going to continue to cost you customers. I would love to be able to come back and enjoy my Sunday stewed chicken without having to question whether I'm being charged a fair price.

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!!!!!

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!

Ordering is simple; you can order at the counter or use one of the kiosks. Once your food is ready, they bring it directly to your table. I also appreciated the self-serve stations for sauces, water, utensils, and to-go boxes. I'm usually not the biggest fan of Cuban cuisine, but was in the area and decided to give it a try anyway. I was pleasantly surprised. Everything I ordered was better than expected. I went with the Combination Sampler, which is great if you want a little taste of everything. It came with a chicken empanada, papa rellena, fried yuca, ham croquettes, sweet plantains, and tostones. Overall, everything was prepared nicely. The only item I wasn't crazy about was the chicken empanada, which tasted a little plain and dry on its own. However, once paired with the sauces, it was much better. Speaking of sauces, they offer plenty of options at the sauce station. My favorite was the creamy cilantro sauce, which paired well with almost everything. They also had ketchup and mayo; perfect for dipping the crispy yuca fries. Along with a spicy sauce that definitely brought the heat. My go-to Cuban dish is usually a Cuban sandwich, but I didn't get a chance to try theirs this visit. Based on the rest of the meal, though, I'd definitely come back for it next time.

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."
