Choukouya Resto-Bar

The food is to die for!!! Exceptional!!! I’ve been coming here many times, tried everything, and all of the dishes exceed my expectations! I’m a marine chef so my expectation of quality healthy food is very high. Trust me when I say it’s delicious 😋 And the drinks 🍹 are full of flavor, easy on the ice and generous on alcohol. Definitely worth the $ and mind you the portions are double to what you are used to! The flan 🍮 and the cheesecake are an absolute must too! I had lamb and veggies for dinner, and lamb soup 🍜 and it was beyond what I’d hoped for! Yummy 😋 I felt so welcomed and comfortable, place is clean and the bar is always full of people. Tonight is a Sunday and there’s a dance !💃 🕺 Open to everyone, Afro beats and R&B. This just became my favorite place 😊

great vibes and service! i loved the fufu sampler (the collards were to die for) and ponme lyonnaise. the jollof rice was incredible. my friends tried a few other dishes which were all great as well (lamb stew, pepper stew, and 2 chicken dishes) the vegan pie was the only thing i disliked; it was a bit sour for my liking. if you want plantain fufu, you should call ahead as they need ample time to make it. we went on a friday night and the music was quite loud so we were yelling a bit to hear eachother but the dance floor was lively so we couldn’t be mad! food is a bit slow to arrive but worth the wait!

This restaurant made me sick. As a vegan I got food poisoning & I talked to the owner about it. I told him that I found shells in my eggusi soup when the lady told me it was 100% vegan. The owner tried to tell me that I put the shells in there. And he tried to put the blame on me when it was his restaurant that made me sick and gave me food poisoning. I was sick for almost 2 days. He had no resolution at all. He had no empathy or anything. He just kept saying that they cook vegan food separately. That customer service is terrible. If a customer comes to you with an issue like I had, you should handle it and the customer with ample amount of care. I don’t recommend. And it’s honestly the principle of the fact. I will never be eating from here again. There is no professionalism here from this situation. They literally gave me food poisoning and basically told me to suck it up that it’s my fault. 0/10.

So we got egusi, mind you egusi is $15 without any meat or fufu, you have to purchase fufu separately $6 (fufu serving was so small)and meat separately ($10) which came to $31, egusi came out cold, like cold cold. We also got fried snapper which came with a side of rice (which was charged separately as well) and we paid for a side of plantain, the fish was good we enjoyed that, I would recommend that. I appreciated the handwashing station but wished they had napkins next to it.

First experience with this restaurant. Had to try the FUFU sampler. I highly recommend the Shrimp Platter, they were done to perfection, very flavorful. The watermelon celery sauce was the best with the FUFU, which was WHITE YAM POTATO but FUFU also comes in plantain,couscous; you roll into a ball and dip in the sauce. I definitely will return to try more from the menu.

It was empty except for our group, so no atmosphere on a Wednesday. The server's voice was very quiet, so hard to hear over our noisy group. I had the lamb stew, which was excellent, but could have been spicier; I like hot food. Definitely worth a return visit.

I came August 10,2025 with friends and family and I order Alfredo and beef peanut soup with a to go order of Alfredo. It took a HR for my food to arrive my family food came 20 minutes after mines so we was not able to eat together ask for manager and he told us he will take 2 dollars off my bill. This was by far the worst experience I had in a restaurant. Are waitresses Alica was wonderful. But I will never patronizing this establishment again and I'm a good critic. My bill was almost 90 dollars and you offer to take 2 dollars off the bill

The food is amazing, if you can stay up long enough for it to come out of the kitchen!! This was my 4th time coming here. The first time, I had an issue with missing a considerable portion of my takeout order. That was red flag number one. We returned on a few more occasions and only got drinks. On this occasion, I arrived with a party of 4 at 10pm to this not so crowded venue. Put our drink order in and waited 1/2 hour for them to come out and to subsequently be able to place our order for entrees. After about an hour wait, 3 of the four dishes came out. We were told the last dish was on its way multiple times before it finally arrived…along with our bill. It had been an entire additional hour before the last dish came from the kitchen. I told the server that it wasn’t even worth bringing out at this point because our evening was over. The clock had struck an entire new day as it was about 12:15 am at this point, and everyone at my table was falling asleep. I asked if he could comp our bill for the extensive wait time, and was told no. He informed me that he couldn’t do anything. I asked if there was a manager on duty, and he said I could speak with the owner. I waited about ANOTHER 5 minutes and our server came back and stated the owner said it was nothing they could do about it. I asked why he didn’t come to our table to talk to me and was told that he wouldn’t. What type of establishment is this?? He told me that I could go and talk to him myself, so I left my table to go speak to the owner of the restaurant, who was literally 10 feet behind our table at the bar. When I spoke to him, it was clear that he and the server were not on the same page because he gave me a completely different story. He mentioned the last dish takes more time. But an entire two hours??? This was a seafood dish with salmon and scallops. I don’t know of any recipes for these ingredients that takes two hours to make! Regardless, I explained that if this was mentioned when I ordered, I would have opted for something else. So to sum it up, they took over two hours to prepare and bring out one of the dishes we ordered. They brought it out after everyone else at the table had finished eating. The server ended up boxing it up and bringing it out with our bill. They refused to comp me for it. I told them I didn’t want it and they politely took it back (boxed and all) and removed it from my bill. I understand this is a small business whose owners are not originally from the Americas. Regardless, this is not how customer service works here. The lack of consideration for the experience had here is unacceptable, and the resolution was ridiculous. I wouldn’t dream of coming back to this place, and would warn any would be diners to avoid at all costs. There are far more establishments in the area where they leadership actually cares about their patrons experience.
