Wow! I haven't had African food in so long since I was in Africa 2 years ago and this made me miss…read moreit so much! I got the Golden bowl which was curry based stew with smoked jollof rice and plantains. It was just all tasted so wonderful and homey. I love how the curry wasn't too spicy and blended will with chicken and jollof. I wanted more jollof- definitely tasted the smokiness. It was all a perfect heartwarming stew with rice! Chicken was seasoned well! The serving was filling. I was lucky to save some for the next day! Service was pretty quick! Staff were very nice and professional explaining the menu. Casual ambiance. Nice place to get a quick bite and sit down.

I'm always happy to discover a good restaurant recommendation, and this one definitely did not disappoint. They had someone out front handing out samples of their Jollof rice, curry sauce, and stewed plantains, which were part of their Golden Bowl. I'm not a big plantain person, so I initially asked for mine without them. But, I decided to give them a try anyway, both with and without them. I'm glad I did because the plantains actually added a really nice balance to the dish. The combination of the rice, curry, and plantains was mostly savory with just a hint of sweetness. Hands down, this was my favorite dish. I also have to give a shout out to the woman out front handling the samples. I spoke with her the most, and she did a really good job of selling the restaurant. She was welcoming, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience enjoyable. Sometimes it's the little things, like someone taking the time to introduce you to the food and make recommendations, that can really make a difference. All in all, ChopNBlok was a great find, and I'm glad my friend recommended it. I don't live in the area, but if I ever find myself back there, I would definitely return for the Golden Bowl. It's always nice when you discover a dish that makes you want to come back for more!

We were in the area as I was dropping bae off at the airport and we were looking for something to…read moreeat before his flight. We stumbled upon this place and boy am I glad we did because the food was absolutely divine! I had the garnished tilapia with jollof rice and vegetables. Not sure what vegetables I was eating perhaps spinach but they were cooked to perfection. Bae had the garnished goat meat which was so tender and I appreciate the bite sized cuts instead of the chunky portions. I low key wished I had gotten the goat. We ended up getting a side of jollof rice because the goat meat plate did not come with any sides. I will definitely be back if I am on that side of town again. The four stars are because I wish they adjusted the spice levels. I like my food spicy and Bae who is Yoruba's spice level is not for this world! so the food wasn't as spicy to both of us as we would've liked. Service was a little bit slow, but I think it's because they do make the food fresh. Nice clean restaurant great customer service and cannot wait to be back next time I'm in humble

Aria Suya Kitchen has become one of my go-to spots whenever I'm craving Nigerian food. Whether…read moreyou're dining in or grabbing takeout, it's a great place to enjoy authentic and flavorful dishes. They have a comfortable seating area for those who want to eat on-site, but their food travels well, making takeout just as enjoyable. While I often stop in specifically for the suya, both the beef and goat options are excellent, the menu offers much more than that. My personal favorites are the Suya, Jollof Rice, and Meat Pies, all of which are consistently delicious and packed with flavor. Their Rice and Stew is another standout dish that never disappoints. What I appreciate most is the variety. Aria Suya Kitchen offers a wide selection of Nigerian favorites, making it a great introduction for newcomers and a reliable choice for those already familiar with the cuisine. If you're looking for authentic Nigerian food with great flavor and plenty of options, Aria Suya Kitchen is definitely worth a visit. It's the kind of place that keeps you coming back for more.

I shared the fufu with egusi soup with stewed goat added, the Stewed Hen, Moin Moin, & Jollof Rice, and the meat pie with a friend and it was plenty for both of us. The fufu with egusi soup was super delicious with a spicy kick that I loved (7/10) . The plate was the star of the meal. Everything from the stewed hen, to the rice, to the greens were all so well seasoned and I truly enjoyed every bite (8.5/10). The meat pie was also delicious with a savory filling and the pastry was thick and buttery but surprisingly not overbearing considering the pastry to filling ratio (8/10). Overall the food was awesome and seemed quite authentic. Would definitely come back to support this small local business!

When I woke up this morning and checked DoorDash it said that the order was picked up at 7:37pm and my card was charged $60, which is honestly too much for 2 soups and 2 appetizers. Also on top of that the location was sketchy, had no visible signage, and was dirty. Would not recommend this place at all if I could give negative stars I would.

I recently had dinner at Bantu House with my daughter. I am not very experienced with African…read morecuisine outside of South African restaurants and a few Ethiopian-style places, so this was a very new experience for me. Overall, I found the food to be very flavorful, well seasoned, and unique. My daughter and I actually ended up liking each other's meals more than our own, so we switched plates, which worked out well. We also ordered a few extra items, including wings and yams. The pounded yam was interesting and very different from anything I usually eat. It is probably not something I would go out of my way to order again, but I am glad I tried it and now understand a little better how it is eaten. The one disappointing part of the visit was the ordering experience. The young man who rang us up was polite, but he was unable to make any recommendations. He said he had been working there for about three months and still could not really suggest what to order. For someone like me, who is unfamiliar with this type of food, recommendations would have been very helpful. I would have appreciated some guidance on the most popular dishes, common choices, or what first-time customers usually enjoy. That said, the owner was extremely kind. She came out to our table, spoke with us, and helped explain how to eat some of the food we had ordered. I really appreciated that. She came across as a very sweet person, and based on her hospitality alone, I would come back to support the business. This style of food may not personally be my cup of tea or something I will crave often, but I respect the flavor, the care, and the local business behind it. I would give Bantu House four stars. It could have been closer to 3.5 for me personally, mostly because of the lack of ordering guidance, but the owner's kindness and the quality of the food pushed it to four.

I visited Taste of Nigeria with my seven-year-old daughter and a friend, and while the food itself…read morewas good, the overall experience was disappointing due to the customer service and lack of professionalism. We arrived around 9:17-9:20 PM and waited until approximately 9:35 PM before being attended to. When someone finally approached us, we were initially told we couldn't be served, but they eventually agreed to accommodate us. Unfortunately, the interaction while placing our order wasn't very welcoming. The employee seemed irritated and inconvenienced by having to take our order and answer a few basic questions about the menu. As someone trying a different cuisine and wanting to understand what I was ordering, I would've appreciated a little more patience and hospitality. I eventually felt the need to explain myself, and after a few exchanges, her attitude softened and she became friendlier, which I appreciated. However, it shouldn't take that much effort for a customer to feel welcomed. For our meals, I ordered the extra-spicy egusi with goat meat and pounded yam. My daughter had the chicken with jollof rice and plantains, and my friend ordered egusi with beef and pounded yam. The food was genuinely good, and I enjoyed the flavors. My only complaint regarding the food was the temperature. Everything arrived lukewarm rather than freshly hot, and it gave the impression that the plates had been sitting for a while before being brought out. I would've enjoyed the meal much more if it had been served hot. What really made the experience uncomfortable was what happened while we were eating. The employees began arguing among themselves, creating an unprofessional atmosphere in the dining area. I had my seven-year-old daughter with me, and that's simply not the kind of environment I expect when taking my family out to eat. I also noticed several other customers waiting for their orders, and overall, there seemed to be a lack of attentiveness and organization. I understand that restaurants get busy, especially toward closing, and I appreciate that they ultimately accommodated us. However, good food should be accompanied by good service and a welcoming atmosphere. I would consider giving Taste of Nigeria another chance because I did enjoy the food, but I sincerely hope the customer service, communication, and overall professionalism improve. The food has potential to make this a great experience, but unfortunately, the service overshadowed it this time.

I usually order the jollof rice, efo riro, and egusi soup, and every single dish is rich, bold, and deeply satisfying. It was so good the first time that I came back again the very next week. Every visit I spend no less than $50 because I can't help but order all my favorites. The flavors are that good. There's a lovely woman in the kitchen preparing these dishes with so much care and authenticity, and you can truly taste it in every bite. If you're looking for a genuinely, expertly prepared West African meal, this is the place. I say this as someone who lives between Houston and New York, has traveled all over the world, and has eaten at many Michelin-rated restaurants. I know good food, and this food is amazing.

I love high quality ingredients and feel like they go a long way. But even more I feel like knowing what to do with ingredients go even further. I hate buying high quality ingredients meals where the chef did little to enhance the food. Not at all the case here. EVERY dish you order while have the chef's handprint on it and I F'n LOVE IT!! I've enjoyed ChopnBlok since I first tried it at POST Houston but I'll leave this review to focus on the Montrose location. Now come on this review journey with me! I had been meaning to come here for a minute but had never gotten around to it and the first time I did was when a friend told me about "Parlay on the Blok", which is a block party series they do and this one they had collabed with The Breakfast Klub!!! So combining with one of the places that is already one of my top spots in the city plus good vibes I had to pull up. It was popping there so was a thing to get a spot and get that order in but I'm glad I did. Beyond the fact that it was a good vibe for the culture and the community out there. The food hit! We got there late for the block party so some items had ran out and honestly it was for the best because I would've ended up buying some of everything they were offering. I got the Wings & Rice and the Malt Short Ribs and Grits. The first was The Breakfast Klub's wings with Afro brunch fried rice. The second came with a dòdò pepper relish with a malt demi-glaze. Boy oh boy! Already knew the wings was going to hit and the fried rice paired really well with it. The short rib was so damn tender and the relish and glaze just....just give me some more! Both of them are dishes I would order again if they were on a constant menu. As someone who doesn't eat pork, I love that this is a spot that I can count on putting out delicious food packed with flavor and know they have not a lick of pork on the menu. Now for their regular menu items lol. I was in the area so I popped in for their happy hour and of course they delivered. Love that they have the community tables, which allows for people to get a table as a walk up but not at the bar. It also creates a special space to connect with strangers, as you can be sat across the table from someone you've never met as you both enjoy deliciousness. If you haven't noticed yet I love this place and will basically only have good things to say, and it all comes from the most honest space. Happy hour offers some of their main dishes just in smaller portions. I started off with the Suya and Cheese patties and I honestly have a hard time imagining me coming here and not ordering these. From the flaky breading to the meat and cheese inside it does everything it's supposed to. I also got the Golden bowl and every bit of it was delicious. You can give me a side of the Jollof Jambalaya everyday and I'd be good. I'm usually not for alcohol with my food but was in the mood for a cocktail and I wasn't sure on the Irie Punch and my waitress brought me and shot of Irie Punch that I quickly ordered after tasting. The Deviled Scotch Egg is suck your teeth and fingers good. It's so damn good that I literally had some of the greens they sit on and thought it was the egg filling on it just to realize it was the dressing they had on it. I was sucking the damn mini salad off my fingers it was so good. For the greens and dressings, which are just garnish for the egg, to be that good is truly ridiculous. I got a side of the Waakye Fried Rice not realizing it is a black rice dish, but even that was still good. Chef Ope Amosu does not miss with a single dish served. They have been Michelin recognized and I honestly think it is beyond well deserved. Not quit reading my review and figure out why I love this place for yourself.

I usually go in at the tail end of happy hour, some of the best price and portions for happy hour…read morebtw, but I went towards the beginning yesterday. And the prices are so reasonable that you can really sample a significant amount from the main menu in small portions for less than half the price of the full order.

It's been a while since I went not sure if there was a shift in the menu or if I'm remembering incorrect but even though I genuinely enjoyed it, I feel like it was not as good as it used to be to be. Mind you it was still excellent. One thing has not changed which is the plantain bread one of my favorite desserts. We had suya, plantain chips, beef pies, coconut chicken bites and I had the plantain bread and the new dessert. ( new dessert not my thing)
