Best places: African restaurants in Schenectady County

👍 Nice spot to get Nigerian suya. It's a takeout spot with benches outside for people who want to sit and enjoy the atmosphere of the busy street. The suya spices come in varying hotness levels. It's delicious. I recommend.

👍👍 Went for my Fufu and light soup with cow leg and fish.was delicious couldn't finish all.take home was fried Yam with fish and pepper a decent and healthy place to eat in the Bronx

🫤 Staff are Terribly rude. Food is served like they’re serving dogs. I recently was served white rice with hardly any ofada stew, the measly mess was just dropped over the rice, It also smelt like it was going bad. Presentation is definitely an F. Taste is an F. I expect better for a $20 a plate meal.

😠 I wish there was a zero star that would have been the best in this situation. I was at the Nigerian embassy in New York and saw this guy in the food truck.

👍👍 Was in the Bushwick area when I discovered this place and was pleasantly surprised to find an African restaurant in the area. Naturally I had to stop in for a bite. The service was wonderful, I didn’t have to wait too long for my food and the food itself was exquisite. Will definitely be coming back...

👍 My Nigerian boyfriend and I always come here for their egussi and Efo riro. The flavors are simply amazing. We have also tried their jollof but it’s not our favorite as it’s a bit too smoky for us. They also only take cash which is inconvenient. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone...

Compact eatery with a candlelit dining room & lively bar specializing in aromatic Nigerian cuisine.

😠 After waiting 20 mins for my order, I went to the counter and they had forgotten my order. I should've left but I really wanted to try African food. Waited another 30 mins. and started eating some crackers when the food finally came out but I wasn't hungry anymore. Paid $15 for yam and chicken. Wen...

😠 Bought egusi yesterday Jan 30th 2023 it looked funny and tasted weird. I have been using the bathroom all night and might have to go to the doctor this morning. I don't know if this is the norm or just a one time thing but one thing I do know is that I'm never ordering from here NEVER EVER. They di...
