What a great find?! I knew I liked plaintains but the kelewele spices elevated them to a whole new level. The "I Love Spinach" entree with chicken was delicious, as I could honestly eat that spinach every day. Lastly, the jollof rice was beautifully prepared and plated. I will definitely be ordering again. read more

The food is absolutely amazing. Excellent and flavorful. If you can't handle the "spiciness" of ketchup, this might not be for you. But if you put Sriracha on Everything, then this is the place for you. I ordered the spicy goat pepper soup with the fufu and it was heavenly. My only complaint was the portion sizes. All of the portion sizes are very small for the amount money you pay, thus the 3 star rating. The delicious of the food added the additional star which is why ultimately decided on a 4. My friends all got the lunch specials and they weren't happy with the quantity. I ordered my husband the beef "patties" to go, only to discover it was only a singular "patty" for $6. And if you have a party of 5 people and or more, they automatically add a gratuity to your bill. The restaurant is small on the inside but has a nice front patio outside which was shaded. On a nice night, it'd be romantic to sit out there. Overall, I'll be back to this place. But be prepared to order double portions per person, so you'd spend about $40/person before tips and taxes. read more

From the Fufu to the Sobolo, this place was amazing. Groundnut, The West Hut, I Love Spinach, all of it, absolutely incredible.

Let me start by saying I had tried a similar dish at a different restaurant and was thoroughly disappointed. Still, my 13 y/o son has been seeing a lot of fufu dishes online and was craving his first Nigerian meal, so I searched Yelp for the highest rated spot with open on a Sunday afternoon. We drove 45 minutes to central Phoenix, and my expectations were honestly pretty low based on my previous experience elsewhere, but I wanted to give it a proper shot for my son's sake. Walking into the restaurant, we were immediately greeted and seated at our choice of booth. Service was quick, and the ambiance felt warm and welcoming. We both ordered the I Love Spinach dish, their version of Egusi, with chicken and fufu. You can also order it with beef, goat, or veggies instead of chicken. I do wish it had more spice, but I recognize that my palate, as an East African woman, is used to a certain flavor profile that I didn't quite get here. That said, please don't mistake that as a criticism, because this meal was absolutely delicious. I genuinely did not want to stop eating, even when I was full. This dish had me in full glutton mode, and the portion size was very generous. I took about half home and finished it around midnight because I could not risk the flavors I enjoyed so much changing overnight. You know a meal is good when the table is silent, and my son and I kept exchanging quiet nods of agreement as we happily stuffed our faces. The only words we exchanged were comments about what we liked most or encouragement to try different Egusi-to-fufu-to-chicken ratios. Anyway, if you cannot tell by now, it is worth the drive, worth the price at $22, and absolutely worth your time. Truly delicious, and we will definitely be back. read more

A great addition to Park Central, this African restaurant provides a cozy dinner experience with friendly staff and quick service. I wasn't too familiar with their plates, and the menu's photos weren't labeled, but the staff were happy to explain and point out their dishes. I ordered the Groundnut Delight with beef and fufu. I was a little hesitant since it's a peanut butter base, but its rich meaty taste only had a hint of PB, certainly well balanced, not overpowering. The beef was tender. The fufu had a mashed potato texture that complimented the soup. I prefer it to grains since it absorbs the soup better imo. Spent ~$20 read more

This is definitely one of my favorite spots to eat in Phoenix. Everything I've had here smack! The Jollof Rice is always on point. I love the chicken, the beef patties, and the plantains. The Guava Juice is also hella good. It's always a relaxed and chill environment with a playlist that will have you dancing in and out of your seat. The service is always nice and fast, very helpful if you haven't questions. read more

West Hut - I LOVE SPINACH, BEEF PATTIES, JOLLOF RICE, SPICY GOAT SOUP - African Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

My co workers and I came here for lunch one day around 11am. In my opinion, the exterior of this establishment doesn't match the interior. When we arrived, there was only one person in there. The three of us took a seat wherever we wanted and the server came to our table shortly after. We ordered our food and while we waited our server made us some sample drinks. It was a hibiscus, pineapple juice, and ginger drink. This drink was refreshing, delicious, and a favorite amongst all of us and we had to order it!! Our food came out and it smelled and looked delicious! The taste was pretty good, to me. The only thing I didn't care for was that the beef was a bit too tough for me. It had more of a medium well steak texture when it would truly benefit to have more of a good pot roast texture. If it were more tender and the meat pulled easier.....it would've been perfection for me! My coworkers ordered the chicken instead and they said it was tender. I can't vouch for it but I will try it the next time I go.......because I WILL be back! read more

DO NOT! I REPEAT! Do not purchase a gift card from their website. Their machines are not set up to scan it.. the workers there will do nothing to help you solve the problem when the owner is a speed dial away. You would literally be standing at the register, trying to help them with their own register they do not care. You will have to pay separate even though you purchased a gift card from their website. Don't even bother trying to reach out to them on social media either. They were saying it's not the owners page. It's the social media team. Money does not grow on trees so I feel robbed. But of course, I have to forgive them. This is my favorite restaurant but the quality of the food and customer service has gone down. Goodbye $120. All the owner had to do was turn on the button for his customers to be able to use a gift card on Apple Pay. read more

Amazing food and great service! I went on a Monday night and it was sad to see there weren't more people there because this restaurant was truly amazing. I will be back. read more

I came here for lunch, and I ordered the spinach stew with chicken. As a Ghanaian, I have a high bar for west African food, and this was some pretty good food. The waitress was knowledgeable about the menu and descriptions of some of the different ingredients in the dishes, which was appreciated. The jollof with the spinach was ok, but the spinach was good. The chicken was also good, as was the plantain. In addition, the portions are quite big and filling. I'd definitely come back here for some more comfort food that reminds me of home! read more

West Hut - Spinach Stew - African Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I've wanted to try some African cuisine for a while. I particularly was interested in their spinach dishes and fufu. This restaurant did not disappoint. I got the plantain appetizer, Kelewele and it was delish. My husband and I both got the spinach dish with goat. He got rice I had fufu. The potions are good sized; we both had leftover enough for another meal which we took home. The young ladies working that day were so personable and helpful. It is a definite must for those with an adventuresome palate. We will return to try some of the other dishes. read more

The food was horrible the rice was stuck together most definitely wasn't fresh. I stuck my fork in them and it crumbled into big hard chunks. The chicken was dry the skin of the chicken was hard and tough. The fried plantain and the meat patty may have been the only thing that was worth eating. A $30 meal down the drain. The food has potential but stop serving day old food. read more

10/10 Food. I ordered I love spinach with goat with jollof rice with a side of yam fufu. It came out hot and fast and sooooo delicious. The portions were generous and I was able to take a great back home with me. After the 1 1/2 hours drive back, I have some more and it was still yummy warm. I just had another bite right now cold from the fridge and it was even better. So I just had to write a review because I had a great experience overall and the service was 10/10. I definitely be back next time I'm in Phoenix. read more

I got I LOVE SPINACH. Pretty tasty but can say they a lil bit salty other then that it taste good mince the salt. The fufu got burned a lil bit why it has a dark spot on top to where I couldn't really pull it and the portion on fufu is really small. I will try and an see what happens next time read more

Ok haven't been in quite some time like a year or so. I wonder if different owner. I thought I did a review when I first went but guess I didn't. The flavors were good tonight just tasted different from when I first came. I did the west hut plate. My only complaint was the salad was drowned in salad dressing so it was soggy. The star of the show is the beef patties with the habanero sauce. Ambience was nice African music and customer service was excellent. read more

Thank you for a great experience. read more

Such a cute restaurant with great indoor and outdoor seating. I had never tried West African food before but I am so glad I did! Our server was so kind and explained what everything was on the menu and recommended the West Hut. My partner tried the beef which was incredible but I tried the goat which was on another level of delicious! I'd never tried goat before and now I can't stop thinking of going back for more. If licking the plate wasn't impolite I would have. This is the best local restaurant I've been to this year... maybe ever. read more

This is my go to spot for west African food. I've ordered Jollof rice and shared it with my friends. Now my friends are customers as well!

Food: we ordered the west hut with shrimp and jollof rice and it was sooo tasty. Plantains and a coleslaw comes with it and it was amazing. We also got the groundnut delight with fufu. I personally didn't like the fufu but at least I can say I've tried it Drinks: we ordered the sobolo and it was a hibiscus drink that was so tasty! Service: our server was so nice and helpful I wish I had gotten her name, she was great! Ambiance: fun decor and you can tell it's a favorite spot bc everyone knew everyone and were having fun socializing. Also they had a dj with great music! read more

We came here for dinner. Great music, comfortable atmosphere. Service was very friendly. Our first waitress was ending her shift while we were there; she made sure to stop by our table to let us know someone else was taking over. We ordered the beef patty as a starter. Great flavor! Then I ordered the west hut with chicken. It was served with sweet plantain, salad, and I added the jollof rice. Chicken was a little over but had great flavor. The jollof rice was delicious! It was a little spicy and was of great texture. The rest of the sides matched well with the dish. My boyfriend ordered the spicy goat soup. He was warned of how spicy it was and she was not exaggerating. Luckily he likes spicy dishes and he said the flavor was rich. He did wish there were more goat pieces in the soup but says the little pieces that he got had good texture. He ordered it with a side of fufu but wished he had the rice after trying mine. We are not sure what fufu is supposed to taste like but there wasn't much flavor to it. I also ordered the Sobolo drink; it was sweet which I enjoyed. My only issue was the price, it was expensive. Next time we would likely just order one dish to share. Overall it was a great place for dinner and we would definitely come back. read more

West Hut - Beef patty, west hut chicken with jollof rice, spicy goat soup with fufu. - African Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I wanted to love this place but left feeling underwhelmed. We went during the week so it wasn't overly busy but service was still slow. The overall decor and vibe was fun with many African touches. The food was lacking sadly. The beef patty had a weird texture inside. The west hut was ok. I asked for jasmine rice but they gave me joloff rice instead claiming to be out of jasmine rice but then I heard a different server offering it to a different customer so who knows. The joloff rice just tasted like they added tomato paste. It was sweet and not what I was expecting. The chicken was tasty at least. For the price, it was sadly lacking. read more

Holy smokes! Every bite reminded me of my mom. I ordered the okra soup and red efa It was so delicious. I'm mean yummy. I eat it by it self. The only think I didn't like was that the beef was boiled but not roasted or fried before it was dropped in the efa so it had a weird texture. It could also be the cut of meat. I recommend their chicken. I was amazed. It's was delicious too! I also love their jollof I'm impressed with this place for it being Arizona Oh and I ordered the hibiscus with ginger. It sent me to heaven Keep up the good work! read more

West Hut is a casual West African Restaurant with wait service located in the Midtown area of Phoenix. It's a little hard to find and is across from Park Central. On the day of my visit they offered soft beverages and an African beverage made with hibiscus but it looks like they are waiting for a liquor license. We stared with seasoned fried plantains called kalewele. They were tasty anyone would like them. I tried a dish called the west hut with chicken. It was a skin on bone-in leg and part of breast. It was cooked in a tomato based sauce that was tasty. I had tasty jollot rice and a side of this delicious a bit spicy pepper sauce on the side. It was tasty. I think just about anyone out there would like it. My husband tried the dish called I love spinach with chicken. I think he had the same chicken I did but it was placed in a bowl that was different with spinach and different flavors that also were good. He also got fufu as his side. We never had fufu before....It's so different. You make your own tortilla with it. It doesn't add much flavor to your dish. It's almost like mash potato flavored. It was interesting and fun. The lady that served us was really great and helpful. She guided us with the menu and made suggestions. It's so great that they opened a West African Restaurant so we all can try their delicious foods. read more

I really liked the I Love Spinach with goat. It was a little fatty but very flavorful. The fufu was ok and very filling. Although, I think everyone's favorite was the meat hand pie. The crust was light and so well-balanced. I thought the goat was a little chewy, the fufu was a little under seasoned but the service was great and it's a wonderful alternative to everything else in the area read more

Food: We ordered the Okra Stew with shrimp and Fufu. The Okra stew was immaculate. I don't know if I have ever said "mmmm" so many times after every single bit. We also ordered the I Love Spinach with Goat. When I tell you this was some of the best food I have ever had, I mean it. We ended up ordering an extra side of the goat meat so that we could take it home with our leftovers. The portion sizes were pretty large especially for the prices. Ambiance: The ambiance was amazing from inside to the outdoor seating. It was welcoming and comfortable. Service: The server we had was so nice and gave us some amazing suggestions when it came to the menu and it being out first time here. We will definitely be coming back to try out other items on the menu! I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is wanting to try something new and who loves all types of food.

First time trying West Hut and honestly, I was pretty impressed! The vibe is super chill and welcoming definitely feels more like you're eating at a friend's house than a restaurant, which I loved. I had the spicy goat soup, spinach, and okra, with plantains on the side--and wow, those plantains were the best I've ever had. The flavors were bold and really comforting. I also tried the Sobolo hibiscus tea, which was super refreshing and had this cool, tangy kick to it. The employees were awesome they were always there to help out if I had any concerns also there recommendation was great read more

The staff are super friendly and attentive. The food is delicious. I had the West Hut with fufu. I was told by a friend in Gana the full experience is to pull the fufu and use it to scoop some of the sauce. its a bit doughie/ gooey, but delicious with the food. The sauce is well spiced, a little kick, but flavorful. My friend had the poisson and was very happy with her meal. Would definitely recommend. read more

I am happy to give this palace a 5 star. For this to be in the U.S., it's pretty close if not spot on to being in Ghana. People open restaurants all the time from other countries and the food is often mediocre. I came there expecting to not be as pleased as I was. The ambiance is great and the music is a vibe.

Support black owned businesses . This restaurant is cute and the service is good, which you will not expect long wait hours! However, the food hits on some days. I have been here a couple of times, and got fufu with I love Spinach item (technically Egusi soup for my people). It's yummy, but sometimes it can be salty, so please reduce the salt for future orders. That's my reason I took off one star, but this restaurant also have events, so it's a vibe. read more
