The 10 Best West African Restaurants In Houston - Houston - The Infatuation

"The Alief restaurant Chez Michelle feels like attending an intimate concert that happens to serve stellar Cameroonian food. Loungy leather couches line the walls, facing a huge performance space on the side of the room. Even though the live Cameroonian music is a weekend-only event, the food—like smoky drum fish covered in crisp onions—is a showstopper every day of the week. And adding an Orijin beer will have you acting like a regular on your first visit. Since Chez Michelle is open until midnight daily, this makes for the perfect late-night spot when you need a bowl of warm ndole soup with fresh shrimp to finish off your night." - gianni greene
