    I tried this food truck out thanks to the too good to go app. It was good. The portion size could have been a little bit bigger but either way, it was a good deal. I highly recommend this place!

    Jolof and Egusi w/ fufu both with fried chicken and it was so crispy and perfect! Totally recommend!!

    This place was delicious!! My son and I went and had our first African dishes and we were both very happy with the dishes. He had the chicken jolof and I had the egusi and fufu. It was all delicious!! My son can't wait to come back and he wants to bring friends. Service was polite and helpful. The decor was great as well!

    Menu

    Food: I tried the peanut/tomato soup fufu with chicken and the jollof rice. It was INCREDIBLE. Service: Our server was very knowledgeable and friendly. Overall speed of service was relaxed. The owner took time to speak with us and she is a wonderful person. Ambiance: The outside of the restaurant is unassuming but when you step inside, you know you've struck gold. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and clean. You can do take out, dine in, or patio. They have very good African music playing throughout the restaurant to set the tone. I plan to come back soon! I am interested in their buffet offerings.

    Egusi

    I came here with my boyfriend for his birthday dinner. There's a small lot out front to park in and inside is very clean and nicely decorated! We were seated immediately and our waitress was so warm and welcoming and helped explain the menu to us. We decided to get Egusi with a side of fufu and jollof rice. We also got a couple of Jamaican Red Stripe beers. The portions were generous and everything was so flavorful!! Egusi is more of a stew (kind of like an Indian sabzi) and it was so delicious. We used the fufu (sticky ball that you can break off to create little scoops to eat the Egusi). The jollof also was yummy and I loved how tomato-y it was. Overall, really cool spot and so delicious!!

    Excellent first time dining experience having West African cuisine! Sid was great with providing excellent service and helping us to make the best choice since everything looked and sounded so delicious. We chose the Egusi soup with fufu and beef and the jollof rice with goat. We added the pufpuf sliders served with a side of pepper soup to start us off. From the first bite of the sliders I knew we were in for a culinary treat. The mango and guava juice were soo good to bring some sweetness to our spicier dishes. I loved that the jollof rice was coupled with a sauce-- it really drew out the flavors of the rice. A side of cabbage and plantains were a great addition as well. I would absolutely recommend you visit and try ALL the dishes. Its a perfect vibe for small intimate dinner or a small gathering of friends or family. I'm already planning my next trip back.

    Egusi with Goat

    Just writing this review is making my mouth water. I've been to Steaming Pots several times and have tried 2 of their dishes. One being the Egusi and Fufu! The flavors in this dish satisfies every tastebud. The portions are great, the service is excellent and the ambiance is more of on the relaxed side but can turn up with live music too! I would definitely say give them a try! It's worth it.

    Finally tried egusi and fufu Tomato flavor and that lowkey funky smell I remember from Nigerian food Fufu dipped in the sauce was a cool experience but probably a one-time thing lol

    Jennifer was such an amazing server and helped us navigate the menu. And everything was just delicious with the right of spice for a native. Definitely try the Puff Puff sliders and native Jollof rice. Clean and Art on the wall was gorgeous.

    Pepper Soup
    Amya H.

    The atmosphere is very welcoming and clean. Our server was Eli and he was very polite and attentive. The food was AMAZING. My fav place to come while in town. 10/10

    Ginger Pineapple
    Jessica D.

    I came in and only got their pineapple ginger since I was spending quite a bit of money at Pedritos next door but the ladies helping were super sweet and kind and I def have to come back next pay day. It smells insanely good in there and everything was super clean. Ambiance was amazing.

    Snapper
    Joe H.

    This place blew me away. From the first sip of their pepper soup with goat to the last bite of puff puff, every dish was bold, rich, and deeply authentic. We tried a little of everything -- most of it with goat -- and each preparation was spot-on. The egusi with fufu was hearty and soulful, the jerk chicken smoky with a perfect crust, and the whole snapper was so good the kids cleaned the plate down to the bones. You can feel the pride in every bite here. The owner personally checked on us, sharing how each dish was made and where the ingredients came from. That kind of care is rare, and it shows. If you want the real taste of West Africa in Tampa -- with flavors that stick in your memory -- Steaming Pots is it

    Exploring restaurants in Tampa with friends, we decided to start with this spot. While I was waiting in the car for my friend, I noticed a steady stream of people going in--which made me wonder if we'd have to wait for a table. Turns out, I was wrong--it's spacious inside! And honestly, quite cute. Jennifer was incredibly helpful. I almost went with the beef stew, but she challenged me: "You don't come to a place like this just to get something you can cook at home!" She was right. So I eventually tried something I'd never heard of before--egusi soup. Jennifer even taught me how to eat it properly--with my hands! It was such a unique experience, and the food was absolutely delicious.

    First time trying African food, I think it's good in general. The shop needs to work on the A/C, it was too hot. Need to provide both spoon & folk for the meal; I got a rice they gave me 1 folk, my gf had a fufu w/ soup they gave her 1 spoon. Staff were friendly.

    ***DO NOT PARK AT THE HIGH SCHOOL!!!***…read more my wife and I had reservations at 7 and it was jam packed. we weren't sure where to park, the high school parking lot was open and full of cars so we thought this was overflow parking. we finished our meal and came out to the gates of the lot around 830pm Saturday night (03/07) and they were locked up. The tow company listed on the sign said they do not service the gate. We didn't see any security. We went back to Cybel and they weren't aware that that would happen. We had to uber home. Thankfully there's a Sunday market we will go back in the morning to pick up the car. Other than that, food was great. Service was fantastic. It's BYOB if you plan on drinking.

    Cybele lists as a French-Moroccan cuisine.. I did not see the French influence, however the…read moreMoroccan influence was evident. Nathan our server was well informed and gave good suggestions , he is familiar with the food. They have influence from Morocco in the decor, the music and the spices they use. There are few vegetarian options with the exception of the salads and a sampler platter. I did not see any vegan options. The sampler plate gives you a taste of many things, however, so much of the food is wheat based and more than likely sourced from the US not Morocco.. US uses a lot of glyphosphate and GMO in the wheat. And it is difficult to digest. One of the people in our group had the chicken Angie and said the chicken was good.. it was served with French fries and they were not good. Most likely not made in house. If you have never been to Morocco it may be a nice place to try. The mint tea is nice. I did not have any dessert.

Since our table wasn't ready, we spent about 20 minutes outside taking in the view. It ended up being one of the best parts of the night. Watching the zebras and giraffes roaming around at sunset felt surreal! Once we got seated, we started with cocktails. I had the bees knees, which was light, refreshing, and a great way to kick things off. Of course, we had to try the famous naan flight, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The breads included traditional naan, garlic naan, spiced naan, onion kulcha, and paneer paratha. The accompaniments were just as impressive. It comes with mango chutney, roasted red pepper hummus, coriander chutney, tamarind chutney, tomato date jam, cucumber raita, and a jalapeño lime pickle. It was fun mixing and matching flavors! For my entrée, I ordered the butter chicken with rice and lentils, and it was exactly what I was hoping for rich, comforting, and very flavorful. As expected with Disney dining, it wasn't spicy at all but still really satisfying. We finished with the giraffe dessert, a peanut, banana, and chocolate creation that was almost too beautiful to eat. The presentation was incredibly artistic, and it tasted just as good as it looked. Overall, Sanaa is such a unique experience with great food, great service, and unbeatable savanna views. Definitely worth it.

Lots of variety at the buffet with all dishes well seasoned and flavorful! I don't eat much African food, so a lot of the items were new but familiar flavors. My favorites were the Fufu and other mash next to it as well as the cabbage carrot stir fry. For desserts, honestly, they all were pretty good - gotta take a bite of everything! I would say the only downside is service is a bit slow. My niece spilled water and they got our drink orders mixed up, but I don't blame them since it's packed. Just don't expect people to be constantly checking in. They did remove finished plates pretty quickly though.

The lines were disorganized and the front desk staff yelled out RSVP names. We ended up getting sat ~15 minutes past our RSVP. The food itself was over hyped. It is a buffet so expect to wait in long lines if you want the meat items (steak, sausage, chicken etc). The service was fine and relatively fast once sat. I personally won't be going again since there's better options that are more convenient to get to if you are staying at a different Disney resort.
