African Eats Cuisine

When I tell you my oxtail was so tough o think they cooked it for less than 5 minutes they literally don’t care I can’t even eat this tough oxtail they didn’t care to trim to fat off and you literally only get 3 pieces lol this is literally the worst African food in the world lol the rice is piled high but I get 3 oxtail? The gravy looks weird to and don’t order the Suya they only give you a few pieces of chopped up steak ! I like to support my people but yall have to do better I will never be back i literally neverrrr got served hard oxtail it’s super easy how did they mess it up? They literally can care less

My coworker recommended this place to me, I’ve never had African food before and it ended up being the most fun dining experience I think I’ve ever had. The food was great, the server encouraged and instructed us how to eat the food like a true Nigerian. The staff was friendly and eager to recommend dishes and every single one was amazing. Give it a chance, bring friends, try new things, enjoy your meal.

Within the first bite of food it was worth any hesitation of trying something different. The flavors feel familiar and enticingly new. Absolutely delicious. Kind and patient service.

Haven’t ate much African food in my life so I don’t have much to compare it to. However, I found it delicious. The wait staff is always so friendly and helpful. So, if you have never ate African food before they are happy to guide you on selections and will even share with you how they eat the food in their culture. A great experience! The parking is pay street parking but I have never had an issue finding parking near the front of the restaurant.

Decent food. I've only tried a few African spots in Pittsburgh, and this has been on the less delicious side. Still, it was very decent food. And, many of the food items were unique, so it's nice to have spots like this in the area. I ordered the beef meat pie, puff puff (3 of them), and akara bean 'cake.' My favorite of the items were the delicious puff puffs. If you want a nice, chewy, donut-like snack, then this is the food for you. It was not too oily and very cheap, at a dollar for each of the dough balls. The inside as fluffy. Not too flavorful. I would have enjoyed it more with a dusting of sugar; then, it would serve as a nice dessert. The Akara was interesting. It seemed to have little bits of vegetables included within this bean cake. I was surprised by the level of spice and flavor included in this small patty. It was on the greasier side as well, but also quite inexpensive at just $1.50. Finally, the meat pie was not very good. It was thick in breading and extremely dry. Not just the breading was dry, but the meat itself was as well. It was not very flavorful but did have a little bit of vegetables included as well. Small portion size for the price. All in all, I was not the biggest fan of the food. The portions were quite food and dry, and the flavors were not particularly good. I have not tried many African foods, but there are much better places in Pittsburgh. Definitely try Fabs, it's got similar food but much better quality.

Beautiful spice level... everything was delicious! We had spicy cow foot, snails, banga, and eforiro with fufu to sop up the tasty gravies and all of it washed down with some cold Nigerian beers, Star and Gulder. One of the most flavorful, contenting meals ive had in PGH

One of the favs of squirrel hill, imo. Fantastic food and great staff! Eforiro and Egusi are always the favs. If they have the banga, make sure to get some. The owners are very sweet and friendly. And don’t pass up that CHAPMAN! So good

Love this place & the hospitality ****** 2.18.24 edit: (down from 5 stars to 3; 5th time here) I'm not sure what happened but a few things were extremely off today and I'll say it started with the service. 1. It was cold; many people kept their outerwear on as they were eating. I had to put my scarf and mittens on as we waited for our food. 2. We ordered goat pepper soup, server brings it out with other parts of our order on the same tray but takes the pepper soup to another table. When I mentioned it, he insults my intelligence and declares that no soup came out even though we saw it. Dele proceeds to ask/beg "Why we just can't manage with the goat stew that he brought instead because they were so busy today and it would take too long to bring the soup" Why not just tell us that when we ordered and we could have elected to change our order to something else ? 3. We were never offered even water to drink. Thankfully we brought our own bottle. 4. The side bar area which is actually quite beautifully decorated and has a nice vibe was completely empty; yet music from there was blasting into the dining area when there was already music playing in the dining area. I asked Dele to fix this and he did. Shortly after, YouTube comes on the one remaining sound system and for 5 minutes I guess everyone was too busy to fix it until I had to again ask for it to be switched back to ambient entertainment. 5. For $15 it is highway robbery to charge for 2 small pieces of fish see the pic and red pepper stew. Squirrel Hill rent be damned. This is NOT ok. Serving sizes in general need to be reconsidered. This has been true since our first order. 6. No one came to ask us how our food was. Not once. 7. Table had hardened and dried food from a previous order. I used a limited supply of napkins to cover this and move past it. One problem there were only 2 or 3 napkins now left for our meal. Cake napkins, not dinner napkins. When I looked around to see if we could borrow from another table... There were no napkins anywhere. 8. Women's bathroom had only paper towel above the toilet for use and hardly any soap. 9. Dele was bold enough to declare he preferred only a cash tip but pre-selected 20% on the machine that processed my card. 10. I love our West African family too much to not leave this honest review because I KNOW we can do better. So please DO BETTER
