Eatwell African Restaurant & Lounge Brings Nigerian Cuisine to Old City | Eater Philly

"I spotted a new Nigerian restaurant shaking up Old City: Eatwell African Restaurant & Lounge is a spacious BYOB, 65-seat venue at 106 Chestnut Street run by cousins and owners chef Aisha Wahab and Stephen Oyelakin, who expanded their small Irvington, New Jersey takeout into a full-service dine-in spot to introduce longtime Northern Nigerian family recipes and broaden Philly’s culinary palate. The menu blends African soul food and inexpensive snacks ($4–$6) such as chicken pies, scotch egg, chin-chin, puff-puff and meat pie, with dinner entrees like asun (grilled goat meat), peppered snail, giz-dodo (seasoned gizzards with fried plantains), asaro (yam porridge), a variety of grilled and stewed fish dishes, and a "designer stew" (aka ayamase) served with white rice. Eatwell is open Mondays–Thursdays 12 p.m.–10 p.m. and Saturdays–Sundays 1 p.m.–11 p.m., offers a private 25-seat dining room for large groups, is accepting walk-ins and phone reservations at (215) 964-9213, and will release its website and social pages soon." - Ernest Owens

Everything felt incredibly authentic and well done! The waitress helped up go through the menu and choose things that interest us without ordering in excess. I personally like my fufu on the side and not under everything. Some of the meats just weren’t my cup of tea but i’m sure others will like it. We recommend the Suya

First time trying Nigerian food. I took Efo Elegusi meal and jollof rice, I loved it. Food was so good. Good service and nice atmosphere (good music, not too loud). The place is very neat, I highly recommand.

Stopped into Eatwell for lunch and had a great experience! The food was fantastic, particularly the spicy suya, meat pies, and jollof rice. The menu was quite extensive, so there are plenty of options and we look forward to trying new things. It was our first time eating here, but the service was pleasant and helpful in explaining things on the menu. Overall, a great time!

I was walking when I spotted this place. I was excited to check it out as I am African and wanted to support an African restaurant. The Suya was a little dry to me, but I did still enjoy it. The puff puff was definitely worth it. The restaurant was clean and it wasn't too loud. I definitely recommend checking them out.

The lady who helped me(the owner i assume). Was very nice! Very patient & polite. Food took a while to come out(I ordered takeout). The food was good overall, very flavorful & spicy for those who can’t handle spice. Portion size is so good! I think I’ll have this food for just about a week & the price was well worth it.

My Nigerian boyfriend takes me here for authentic foods, like asun, fluffy, warm pounded yam and egusi( my favorite), and peppered snail (a first for me). And I love it! Everything is beautifully prepared and presented. Spicy, fresh, delicious, good portions. The music is good and the service is friendly. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

The wait time was okay. I ordered snails as my appetizer, but the taste was really off. the snail was hard, earthy, and had a bitter aftertaste. That usually happens when snails aren’t properly prepped . I mentioned it politely to one of the cashiers. A few minutes later, another cashier came over clearly irritated, questioning why I didn’t like it and insisting nothing was wrong because another table didn’t complain. As Africans, we really need to do better with customer service toward each other. The way she spoke to me felt unnecessary and disrespectful, and I honestly don’t think she would’ve talked to non-African customers like that. My entrée was grilled fish. It was okay at first, but it still had a strong fishy aftertaste, and part of it tasted bitter. Which again means it was not prepped well. This place has potential, but the customer service and food quality missed the mark this time. I was respectful the whole time, but left feeling disrespected. Even though the experience wasn’t the best, we didn’t take it personally and still tipped! I hope the staff gets better training on how to handle customer feedback.

I was traveling to Delaware from Las Vegas through the Philadelphia international airport. I craved for authentic Nigerian meal. I googled and this restaurant popped up. From the door, to the table, the atmosphere felt like home away from home. I ordered goat meat pepper soup (100% tasty with organic spices). I ordered amala (60%) - the ewedu (jute leaves) was not green enough for me. I ordered the ayamase (peppered fried stew) to go. They all tasted delicious. I will be going back there. My server was polite, and professional. Their bathroom was clean, and well decorated. Overall, I was impressed.
