The chicken wings and cabbage were REALLY good. The plantains were bland. Customer service is a lot to be desired. There is none.

Took 45 mins (understandable for the catfish, I guess), but my sides were nearly cold. Their to go bags came with a sticker on top and it's my bad that I didn't check, but $40 and 45 mins or so later and they didn't even check. I called to tell them I'm coming back for it and they said that it sitting there and I can grab it. It's been or will be 40 mins sitting there! The sides I got were Mac and cheese (not good) and the yumbo (which was delicious and that's why I remembered I ordered gumbo or thought I did). I looked at the receipt and it was there but not in my bag. So disappointing. On the receipt it even said all to go. Sorryyyy :/ to tell their back staff. And picking it up, my daughter said they told her and my husband it was the same one sitting out! For 40 mins!! They didn't give them a new one when it was them who should've been on top of what they give out!

The portions are very generous. The turtle soup was very good but a little skimpy on the turtle. We got the oysters lola and they were also quite good. The alligator fricasse was very generous in portion including the portion of alligator meat. We had a large party of nine people, but we weren't told we couldn't divide the check nor was there a sign posted indicating that we couldn't do this. Automatic gratuity was added which was what we did expect for a large party, but not being able to divide the check was a huge pain in the ass. The size of the cup of soup was pretty nice overall, just needed more turtle.

Spiced nicely that wasn't over the top, I got extra spice sauce which was amazing but again it didn't overpower. The fish was a challenge to get around bones at first but in no time into the flesh and it was so moist and well seasoned. Sides of cabbage and rice were delicious and a great complement. It was pricey but each was easily shareable by 3. Get to the next pop up. It is crazy good.

Every time we've ordered from here we've come away with happy bellies and tastebuds!…read more What we get: Jerk Chicken - So good! The sauce is bright and tangy--obviously spicy, but so, so good. And there's really no place similar in this area. Paired with the rice and beans and cabbage helps tone down the spice. Goat Curry - So spicy but so flavorful! The meat is tender and it's addictive. Beef patty - This is different than others, and it seems deep fried where I'm used to baked. Always love a beef patty and our kids enjoyed it. Plantains - Our kids love plantains in whatever form. Plus, these aren't spicy so they eat them all. Mac and Cheese - I'm usually wary of getting mac and cheese for kids because it's bland and watery (my child's words not mine), but THIS mac and cheese was SO good! So much flavor and gooey cheese sauce. Both our kids loved it and said it was delicious. Easy win! Candied Yams - Of all the tasty things, this is probably my least favorite. Everything on the menu is packed with deep, rich flavor. But candied yams are just too sweet for me. I think people who like sweet things will love this, but my preference tends to lean less sweet and more savory. So if you're not huge on sweets either, maybe skip this and go for the other items. The staff here are so nice--we ordered with the high hopes of ox tail (one of the non-spicy items) but they were all sold out! My husband was so disappointed that she took pity on him and just gave him the sauce and bits and bones that were left because they couldn't sell it anyway. It was SO good. Almost better than the first time I remembered it. I could be entirely too full and still want a taste of these ox tails! Please never go out of business or change hands--this place is a gem.

This was such a pleasant surprise from the moment I walked in. The owner of Jungle Plate is…read moreincredibly friendly and welcoming, which immediately set the tone for the experience. I didn't realize beforehand that it was an African restaurant, and since I have limited experience with Nigerian cuisine, I was excited to try something new. I ordered the beef with jollof rice, and while I wasn't expecting the level of spice, the flavors were bold, rich, and truly enjoyable. It's one of those meals that leaves an impression--comforting, flavorful, and different in the best way. I'll definitely be returning, and next time I plan to bring my husband so we can try some of their goat dishes as well. Overall, a warm, welcoming spot that's worth exploring if you're looking to step outside your usual and experience something new. Perfect for anyone looking to try something new in a welcoming, approachable setting.

I wanted to love an African restaurant in my neighborhood but the food is never ready as expected…read more They have been known to not have many items on the menu. There was a change in the menu options and many times they are still out. The staff is kind and the food is or has always been hot. The suya chicken was good, the again is my favorite but never available, and egusi was pretty good, the jollof rice has a smoky flavor and is sometimes dry but it's okay. Their jerk wings were also good. I would love pepper soup option but haven't had any. Sadly, to avoid disappointment of not having what I want I have to drive all the way into the city on the south side for an available and consistent meal. I pray this place improves because there is potential.
