I like the croaker it's seasoned well. I was able to do a custom order with the fish, a side of plain okra, pepper & Beni. The potatoe leaf was a little over salted but with the rice it's fine. The palace sauce they forgot to pack it so I didn't get to try that. The Okra sauce was good. Overall good foid, wish they had whole meats at that price point, instead of shredded chicken & turkey only. Solid option when in North Carolina for good West African food. Service was ok. Ambiance is straight to the point. read more

Zoewee's Restaurant - Menue - African Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I love love love the potato greens I wish I could find them and try to cook them. The food makes me feel good

Very barebones look. Nothing appealing abt the location. Not a sit down & eat place. But the food was good. Was trying African food for the first time. But didn't get the true experience. Just served in a bowl as takeout. Once again. GOOD FOOD! But u gotta know the dishes beforehand. read more

Great Food, fast and a staple in charlotte for Liberian food for years. Quality and price have been consistent for years

Ok y'all this is my first time trying African cuisines. I ordered the potatoe with rice. It was good. I should have tried the fufu but I'll get that next time . I always wanted to venture and try African food and glad I tried this spot. I initially went for this location because the food sanitation score was higher than the others at a 98 but the food was delicious I will be back. I believe my cost was around $17-19 USD read more

If I could rate it 0 stars I would. Food was awful. The service was very slow and the lady was extremely rude. I would not recommend.

Great environment, great food and great people. As a Liberian that has been living here in America going on 18 years now. Going to a Liberian restaurant felt like home again. read more

Tried out Zoewee's, a West African restaurant, at the recommendation of a friend. I really wanted to try the jollof rice, but it was not available on the day that I went. However l, everything else that I did try was good! The fish was fried perfectly and the potato greens and rice were the absolute best to me! Fufu was interesting (my first time trying it),but glad I tried it. Zoewee's is located in a small shopping center on North Tryon St., close to Sugar Creek Road. You can call your order in ahead of time for pick up, or you can order upon arrival. I would suggest calling ahead of time for pick up as this would be quicker than ordering in person. I waited for about 20 minutes or more from ordering to getting my food and departing. It had a constant flow of people coming in and out, ordering food, and that's a good sign of a restaurant that is in high demand. The staff was great as they took the order and assisted with calling out names for orders to be picked up. So it continued to move along. Definitely try them out if you are in the North Charlotte area. read more

Very good. I had the potato greens and it was soo good. It came with spicy rice and plantains. It was enough for 3 meals for me. It was so good until Ii tried to go back 3-4 days later for a repeat but alas!!! They are closed for repairs. I went to another African place because I was so craving those potato greens and they didn't even compare. This place is takeout only and that's good because I don't think the staff here are into people as they were not very welcoming. I was told that they will have Dine In seating starting in Dec/Jan. read more

Let's start off by talking about the food. This place is awesome ! There are layers of flavor. I came here on a Wednesday and got the jollof rice with turkey & chicken and a side of fufu. The rice was so good I had to look up on the internet what was in it. Tomato, ginger, onion, and scotch bell peppers. So yes, this rice has a slight kick to it. The smoked turkey was phenomenal. Like, where was the wood chips being stored at ? because this came out of a wood fire kind of smokiness. It had a couple of chicken wings in there for flavor too. Dang, this was good. The fufu I have to admit, I had no idea what to do with it. From the photos I thought it was a ball of bread. Nope. This is more like the consistency of raw pie dough. According to the internet, you pinch a piece off and use it to scoop up gravy or sauce. I didn't have that, so decided to come back again the next day for lunch. Next day: Got the chicken & fish gravy with rice. The rice was green and I have absolutely no idea why. The "gravy" was too oily for my taste, but if you drain the oil off with your fork before putting it on the rice, it's better. However, the flavor is really good. Again layers of flavor. The fish didn't have much meat on it and was greasy also, but overall it was good. I used some of the fufu from the day before on the gravy. The gravy was too oily for my taste, so I'll find something else to dip it into. Next I'll be going back for that cassava leaf and rice everyone is talking about. This is a NO FRILLS place. It's located in a strip mall and their hours are 12-8. There is absolutely no place to sit down, so don't plan on eating there. They have a large room to the side without tables and chairs, but it is empty and sectioned off. If you want plantains, it takes them 20 min. to fry them. So best to call ahead and they will have it ready for you. The young lady taking orders was very sweet. She even remembered my name from the day before. read more

I ordered the pepper soup. It was spicy and yummy. I definitely enjoyed my lunch. The customer service could be better. I was there right at opening time & ordered, it took about 20 minutes for my order to be ready. read more

They did the job! I wanted some cassava leaf and rice. I had my own fish at home. it was last minute and late but they did not fail. The food lasted 2 days. What I didn't expect was the hair in my food. I had noticed it towards the end. And no the hair wasn't mine. My hair is currently very red. I would suggest wearing a hair net when cooking. read more

The food was ok, the chicken could have been cooked more. The rice wasn't bad but they could've used a different type of rice. The spicy sauce complimented the food greatly which took their food to a 6.7. 6.7 mean ok, which is almost considered Good which is a 7 in my judging manual but it lacked some things which made it not reach a 7. If you not use to spices and foreign food give this place a try. read more

Zoewee's Restaurant - This plate is called the wing combo ( wings plantains and jollof rice) which i bought on Tuesday 3/26/24 - African Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

First time here after eating at the other African spot down the street WOW such a BIG difference. Customer service was excellent! I was greeted by an elder man then by a younger woman. I placed a to go order of potatoes greens with rice rice and they packed 2 spicy sauce in the side. The food was the BEST I've had in charlotte and I've eaten at all the " popular" west African spot. This one is number 1 in my book and I will support them from now on. This is take out only. You can call your order in or place order when you arrive. I only waited 10 minutes on a Saturday mid day. The inside was clean and has chairs for you to seat and wait for you. Highly recommend take out for your family here. Support small business and this one deserves it! read more

Called in the order was told it would take 30 minutes showed up 45 minutes later and food was still not ready. I ordered the pepper soup and potato greens. It was very disappointed. The potato greens had an aftertaste and the pepper soup tasted like Texas Pete. read more

I've been to Zoewee's countless times and it's so good EVERY single time. There have been times where the food wasn't ready in the time frame (they get really busy so I understand), an item was missing or service was a little dry, so don't be surprised if it happens. BUT that's not always the case, they can also be really friendly and honestly, I'm going to keep going back because it's that good. I can recommend the collard greens on Wednesdays, potato greens, cassava, fufu, pepper soup, chicken wings and the fried fish. If you love spicy, the pepper sauce that comes with the greens is extra spicy but adds so much flavor. As a heads up, since COVID, it's no longer a sit in restaurant, so expect to take the food to go. I can also appreciate that they wrap up the food really well for transporting. Highly recommend for authentic African I've been to several other African restaurants in Charlotte but this has by far been the best for me. read more

Great people and food. Best African food in North Carolina I love this restaurant. The restaurant is always clean the food is always great. read more

I love this restaurant and have been going here for years! My favorite dish to get is the cassava leaf and rice. They give good portions, and they are very friendly! This restaurant is a staple and is the oldest Liberian restaurant in Charlotte. You should definitely check it out! read more

OMG!!! This place is so BOMB!!! the potatoes and greens are Their Fufu is amazing!!!! I thought I only liked East African food. I was so wrong. If you are a first timer and want to try this place is for you! The seasoning isn't over powering like other places Ive been. Everything was good! And the little spice container they give put the flavor on a whole other level. read more

The food was amazing. I wish they delivered. To my address and matthew north carolina thank you

Good carry out African restaurant. I ate everything, so I have no photos. The flavors reminds me on the meals I had when traveling to West Africa. If you desire authentic Sierra Leone food, this is the place. read more

This is the best African cuisine in Charlotte! I went in one day not knowing what half the menu was. I asked someone who was waiting on his food and he said potato greens. The were do good. The people are nice. read more

The BEST authentic Liberian food in Charlotte! And I love that they give the pepper sauce on the side so you can control the spice level. The cassava leaf is my favorite by far and they serve it everyday The potato greens are a close second. My only complaint is wishing the greens came with less meat but that's more of a personal preference. Heads up - prepared to wait, even if you order in advance but well worth the wait. read more

First time and didn't know what to order. My granddaughter wanted to try fufu and egusi soup. The young lady allowed us to try several soups. All delicious! And allowed us to try the fried chicken wings. Great customer service and needless to say I ordered 2 soups, fufu and the chicken wings! Happy customer. I'll be back for sure even though not convenient to my home. read more

The best potato greens in the city. Everything is fresh and authentic. Also the Owner is a very sweet guy.

It's a quick turn into a small, 'hole in the wall' type shopping center. I ordered the potato greens with white rice and you get plenty of both for an inexpensive price. And the greens are delicious! If you've never tried it before, ask for a sample to try and they will give you one complimentary! If you don't eat meat as I do, your options are very limited. Very. The seasoned rice has meat and unfortunately, I wasn't able to try it. I tried to order the fufu, which is listed on their menu as a daily offering, but wasn't available :(. It's a small establishment that i would love to return to with hopes of more options and availability. read more

I absolutely love this place. The food is Always delicious and it has an exotic taste. The potato greens are my favorite. I used to be addicted to the Cassava leaf but it's potato greens period for me. Try the fish, fufu and okra sauce. All delish!! The owner is nice! read more

Based on other reviews, today I gave Zoewee's a try. One of their Wednesday specials is chicken and smoked turkey with jollof rice. Cool. I didn't mind the lax customer service. I've been to enough ethnic restaurants to know what to expect. The guy who eventually took my order prepared it within a few minutes. Again, cool. He rang up my order and asked if I wanted anything else. After briefly thinking about, I wanted a side of potato greens; never had them before and the previous reviews recommended it. He said a side of greens was 8.00. I incredulously repeated the price, which he confirmed. Curious, I asked the price of the potato greens as an entree. He quoted 10.00. I told him thanks but 8.00 for a side of greens is expensive. He disagreed and said it's not a side dish before asking me what I considered a side. Greens, dude. Greens are a side. Meat is an entree. He swore that's the normal price you pay for a side at any restaurant. No, it's not. I kindly told him never mind and took my to-go order home, only to be disappointed by mediocre jollof. It was...okay. I've had better. The rice was a bit dry and the flavor or spices were meh, even with adding the pepper sauce. The chicken wasn't smoked; it was fried and under seasoned. The smoked turkey was okay too. To be fair, I'll give them a second chance and I'll try a different dish next time. If the second time is similar, then I likely won't return. read more

Zoewee's Restaurant - Chicken and smoked turkey with jollof rice - African Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

CORRECTION! - They totally have seasoned rice, which I said they didn't have available in my previous review. Y'all, this rice is fkn delicious! In my previous review I didn't realize that their menu was 2 sided. Can you believe it!!?!?! Rookie mistake!! Lololol! I'm ashamed. Plus I was told there was NO seasoned rice but I might have called it something that they didnt recognize. Lets call it a lapse in communication. Anyway, they absolutely have seasoned rice and a slew of other tantalizing dishes that are available EVERY DAY. Check out the menu pic I uploaded which outlines their daily options. Absolute deliciousness. You're welcome :). read more

The agusi soup tasted like canned dog food. I explained to the host that it was our first time trying the food, thinking he would be helpful with recommendations, etc. Instead he was very dismissive. The quality of the food was piss poor, with no flavor or presentation. I won't be returning. Very uninviting customer service and the food was very over priced. read more

Friendly staff great food,people travel for miles to eat.My favorite is the potato greens.Keep doing what you doing.

Only offers chicken and turkey egusi. They don't even ask you what protein . They just assume you either want chicken or turkey which was not what I wanted. Not traditional at all . Walked out and won't be coming back read more

I love Zoewee's! The food is always delicious, service always great, employees are always bery friendly and the manager always give me a military discount . What other reasons are there to not continue patronizing this beautiful establishment! Stay consistent, Zoewee's! read more

I gave it another sHot and it was so terrible. The food was not fresh... all I could taste was the salt. I'm talking about the famous potato leaves dish that everyone is talking about. Come on. Does not come close to being a 4 star. If you gave this place anything more than a 2 star ratings it's because you've never heard of MAMA GEE'S taKeout oof Beatties ford near uptown. read more

Great food and good customer service ...potato greens n rice are delicious! The wait time is short and food is hot n ready!
