    Oxtail, brown stew chicken, curry chicken on Jollof Rice

    Yum yum yum I ate till I was full and then more, generous portion, hot and flavorful.

    Brown Stew Chicken
    Kashif E.

    Food was really good. I was there too early and a lot of the food wasn't available so I was only able to try what I got. The service was great, the lady who I assume was the owner was very nice and friendly

    Goat curry with cabbage and rice and beans

    Pricey but the best curry goat I've had in a long time. Too bad their Jamaican patties sold out. The rice and peas and cabbage were very good too.

    Cabbage, Brown Stew Chicken and Jollof Rice

    Stopped here last night a few minutes before closing. I had wanted to get Negril Chicken but they were already closed so this was within walking distance. They didn't have too many protein options (just brown stew chicken and curry chicken), but that was fine with me as I was craving brown stew chicken anyways. I got that with jollof rice and cabbage. I will say the portion size is more than enough! I had enough food for three meals so I was pleased with it. The chicken was juicy, succulent and fell off the bone. I also appreciated the stew. I loved the cabbage! It was probably my favorite part of the meal, and the jollof was pretty good. I'm very picky about jollof since I grew up eating it, and used to it a certain way but theirs was just pretty decent. It was a solid meal, and I'd eat here and recommend!

    Oxtail Dish
    Domonique G.

    My family and I visited this place yesterday. I visit a few establishments on this street and finally got the chance to check Sweet Sweet out. I got the oxtail plate with jollof rice, a side of plantain, and ginger beer. The highlight was the rice and oxtail gravy. While the meat was good overall, some pieces were tougher than others but nothing undesirable. I know the prices of everything have gone up but $37 is a bit offputting. I would like to try the stew chicken next time.

    We did a delivery service for the food here.While I cannot comment on service or ambiance. The food was amazing! We got the brown chicken stew and goat curry. The flavors were really delicious! The meat was soft and tender and the jallof was really good! I recommend trying this place out! I might have to swing by the restaurant next time!

    Curry chicken
    Alise G.

    The food here is amazing. Sweet Sweet Kitchen is a small African/Caribbean restaurant that offers authentic Caribbean & West African food. You will be hooked on your visit. I literally came on a Friday came back on Saturday. My favorite dishes include the Cassava Leaf, this was actually my first time trying this dish. I love the curry chicken and the oxtail is fall off the bone good. I want to try the curry goat and the snapper next but I keep getting the curry chicken. Parking is limited. There are a few tables to enjoy your meal at this location. Prices are big higher then most Caribbean spots, but totally worth it. All the food is halal/kosher.

    torch Torch TORCH!! When I say it's hard to find quality Caribbean/West African food, I mean that. EVERYTHING we ordered was delicious and savory. As far as it may be, quality always wins and I'll be back!! The fried chicken was so juicy. Even thought I tasted a hint of ginger! Cassava leaves were spot on. The meat was tender, like goat. I don't have anything to compare it to besides someone's home cooking and it definitely makes top 2! The jerk chicken was pretty good. But the star of the show was the brown stew chicken!! While I'm used to "sweet", this dish had the spicy flavor down to a science!! I literally couldn't get enough. And the jollof rice is so addicting. Everything was a win and I'm not sure how I'm going to be able to try other menu items when I'm obsessed with these picks so far.

    Cassava leaf
    Ifeoma I.

    I stopped by at this restaurant on a Monday afternoon and it wasn't so busy, but things started picking up after about 1:30pm. However they were able to pick up the speed and cater to everyone. I ordered the cassava leaf dish which came with either a side of jollof rice or white rice. I had the white rice since it was recommended by my server, and it took about 15 minutes for it to be ready. I also asked if I could use the yelp 10% discount that was available to me after checking in and that was also honored. The cassava leaf dish was sooo good and tasted authentic to what you might have in a traditional Sierra Leonian home, I recommend it! They were also quite generous with the serving size and the amount of meat in the dish which I appreciated. My friend had the chicken curry dish and I also liked that too. The staff was nice and very respectful/attentive to me. Stop by if you're in the area and in the mood for some African/Caribbean cuisine!

A favorite is the Peanut Butter Chu and Chicken Afra. And for my dinner crew, there werent any major complaints. Flavor was there and quality. The one thing was around the desserts.

From the moment we walked in, the service was great and you can tell that they care about their customers. The African decor is also very beautiful! Something fun to look at every corner. As for the food, we got the Okra Soup with paneer and fufu, Chicken Chu and Jollof. It was my first time trying fufu and I really enjoyed it. I had a recent dental procedure that prevented me from being able to chew so it was honestly the perfect meal for me, as traditionally you're supposed to swallow the fufu. My husbands chicken chu was very flavorful and totally new to us. As for the jollof I felt it was lacking a bit of flavor and the grains of rice were a bit too el dente for my personal liking. I have had jollof at other places that I liked a bit more. Overall great spot! I love trying new West African restaurants and would recommend this to others!

I didn't realize where the restaurant was located beforehand, so I was a little surprised when I arrived. It's in a very urban area, which may or may not matter depending on your comfort level. There was a decent amount of seating inside if you choose to dine in. The restaurant was okay in terms of cleanliness, but personally, I'd opt for takeout. I originally planned to eat inside but changed my mind once I got there. Unfortunately, the customer service wasn't the best. I wasn't greeted when I walked in, and when I received my order, the takeout container wasn't fully closed and was placed halfway into the bag. I'm not sure if it was just an oversight, but it didn't leave the best first impression. Now, the food, that's where they won me over. Everything was well-seasoned, and the suya had just the right amount of spice. They were out of the vegetable I originally wanted, but I'm actually glad I tried the corn because it was absolutely delicious. And that suya butter sauce? It was the star of the meal! Overall, while the location and customer service weren't my favorite, the food was flavorful enough that I'd come back if I were in the area and craving suya.
