KFFO Afro Steakhouse

it’s late night, no people. My food still not ready even after they know ahead of time. My order is 30 minutes late and they ask me another 5 min. 🙄 It’s not busy and they still make excuse!!!! I ask for help after waiting for so long and they ignore me on purpose watching their phones. They ask me if I speak Spanish even though. Im Asian and speak better English than they do. Very rude and slow steakhouse. Unprofessional.

To say this place was a disappointment is a bit of understatement. Maybe I just don't have the right taste buds but I just wasn't a fan. I got fried chicken here for takeout which was not great. The chicken itself was OK, but the seasoning was sub par and then they added a bunch of seasoning on the chicken which wasn't cooked, had a really strong taste without any good flavour and just didn't make for a great experience. Disappointing!

This is my 2nd time meeting up with friends here. I’m African and brought my Hispanic friend to try out African food. I know it’s a steakhouse but I think it rather too pricey. Why is one fried egg $5. I was not even asked the level of spicy I want my noodles to be. It ended up being too spicy I think if the ambience matches the price it wouldn’t be that bad. The suya was not my favorite. This is a good place but doesn’t really stand out to me. I think the owners can make it better as one of the few Afro steakhouses a lot can be achieved with this place.

We love this place!! We eat here probably AT LEAST once every week or 2...at least. The food is always always fresh and delicious. They are open late most nights so sometimes we will even get it a 1 a.m. Best fried plantain ever. Great Suya. Coconut rice is everything. Mixed veggies are a yummy healthy addition.

Had the munchies late at night so I went looking around for some food and found this nice West African restaurant. The images of steak and lamb chops pulled me in but then I reminded myself that I didn’t want to go broke that night, so I went for their Suya and Jollof Rice. It was my first time trying suya and man, was it delicious! The spices were hitting right and the rice complimented the meat well - both great on their own but amazing together. I had to pull over and finish it, it didn’t even make it back to the room! Great stuff from those brothers in there, good hospitality as well, plus the interior of the restaurant is beautiful. I’d recommend checking this place out for sure, I’ll definitely be back to try some more of their menu.

In this review, I discuss the items ordered, the prices, the taste, serving size, ambience, payment method for the food items and the customer service presented by the business proprietor. What we ordered: My friends and I ordered shawarma, suya toast motherf*u*a, asun and the faya suya. Shawarma costs $12 and the toast cost $15. Asun costs $20. Wait time: If you don’t want to wait, order before coming in. Otherwise, you’ll have a 20-30 minute wait. The vibe is very chill though and they serve you bottled water while you wait. Taste of meal: The shawarma was very savory instead of too cloyingly sweet. I enjoyed that. The asun was giving the asun taste and the presentation was nice. However, my friend complained that the goat meat taste overwhelmed the whole meal and you couldn’t taste the flavoring. One thing to note is that the suya spice/yaji spice doesn’t taste like the original at all. That was quite disappointing. It was essentially steak with red spice. I mention it as something of note because comparatively, other suya seller spices taste like the yaji spice we eat in Nigeria or very close to it. My suya had way too much fat (about half the suya) but the proprietor was very eager to fix that after I complained about it. He had also noticed it when the food was being prepared by one of his chefs but was told I asked for more fat 👀. Miscommunication. He fix that by giving me another plate of suya. Serving size: Another thing of note, the serving portions are large here. The shawarma was about 8 inches long, so longer than a subway half sandwich but not as long as a foot long but it was about 4 inches wide, so maybe almost double the width of a subway sandwich bread. The asun was in one of those small traditional black bowls and was filled to the brim so that my friend was able to take some of hers home. The toast suya was agege bread but was cut in slices. The bread was slightly bigger than a sonic Texas toast bread and was wider too. My friend added an egg to hers for $5. Ambience: The cooking space was open so customers could see the chefs doing their thing. That was interesting to see. Additionally, the place was well decorated in colors of grey and brown and had decorative knives on the wall. The interior had clearly been put together with a theme and that led to a space that was very calming, relaxing and open. Payment method: They had electronic payment here as restaurants often do. I was able to use Apple Pay and my debit/credit card to pay. Overall, it was a nice experience despite the wait, so if you go there, take some friends so you can relax and chat together while waiting.

The service here has been horrible since the owner is no longer present. As much as my husband and I enjoy the Suya and Jollof rice, I can’t see myself no longer eating here. The place is very unsanitary, and the service is horrible. I truly hope the owner comes back and gets his establishment back in order. But as far as the Owner he was very clean, nice, and hard working! He started out at O42 and was able to open up the restaurant. I truly hope he comes back and regulate things in his place of business, because those workers are going to bring his business down. Any how a health inspector comes to this place of business without the owner being present, I would be shocked if this business stays…. Please owner come and get your restaurant back to the way it was when you first opened!

Worst service ever. Crew eating while cooking and texting on phone while handling food. This is how bacteria is spread and make customers sick. Too busy flirting than working and never making food. Both times and excess of over 25min for food... Neve will come again.

One of my favorite places to get Suya and jollof in the city! The owner is always professional and friendly every-time I visit

This is a late night African restaurant. This place is next to an African after hour club. Tried there suya multiple times, which is pretty decent especially after A night of partying. But can someone tell me what the heck is this. I ordered the suya noodles. I definitely wasn't expecting this and wont be returning. You can't tell by the presentation that this wasn't prepared with love.

KFFO is always a hit for me normally and I get the same thing everytime which is the suya toast. This particular time my food did not hit, maybe it was an off day so I will give them grace. Still a staple for me and I will still continue to support! Service is fast if you call ahead

They have really good food, the Jollof and rice is always the fish is the bomb its sooo flavorful and spicy. My only con is that when I order for pick they never have fried rice or coconut rice and the food takes a LONG time to come out even when I order it for pick up through Uber eats just save your time and order it for delivery instead.

This place is awesome the food is great the owner is very welcoming. I usually get the fire suya it's spicy and cooked to perfection. My other favorite thing to get is the shawarma wrap. It's open late and the vibes are always lit musics playing and people are laughing and having a good time. I brought my son with me last time to get food he's 5. The owner came out and greeted us made us feel right at home.

KFFO is in our area, and we'd been meaning to visit here for some time. We finally made it in so here's my review. Upon walking in, you immediately realize that KFFO is a spot frequented by West Africans, and service is obviously tailored to West Africans. This might be called "slow, inattentive service" by Americans, but we have no problem adapting to other cultures' ways of doing things so we managed to make it work because we wanted that food! I originally wanted grilled fish, but was told that would take 30-45 minutes, so we both ordered suya wings. The wife wanted jollof rice on the side, and I wanted noodles. Guess what! They gave us both jollof. This was a bit disappointing but it was all so fresh and good that it didn't matter. Also, the wings took 30-45 minutes anyway so I'm not sure why fish would take that long. We'll be back, KFFO and I want my noodles! :-)

Been riding past here on my way home since they put up the sign and couldn't wait to try it. Went there one night before after hrs. They were so kind and took us even though they were closing. Ordered the suya plate w/ jollof. The meat was cooked tender and seasoned so well. They asked about the spice levels we wanted ( apply the heat) and make sure to get the onions, peppers, and tomato. The rice didn't taste the freshest, so that was a bit disappointing. But Of course with it being late night, they were so friendly and the space was clean and smelled of home cooked food. It's a nice spot to pick up lunch/dinner and enjoy some afrobeats while you wait the good eats.

One of the best Nigerian restaurants everything is so authentic. Suya is amazing and customer service is 10/10

The food was very delicious and I look forward to doing business with them again when I visit Houston. The staff were personable and wanted to make sure everything was fine, though a quicker service could take this business to a new height. I enjoyed my time! My fiancé who isn't familiar with Nigerian food or a fan of spicy food can't wait to come back for the suya.

I forgot to take a picture of some of the other meals I got cause I munched it so fast! I and my family has just stopped by cause we had been on a long road trip to houston and this restaurant was a wonderful surprise! For once suya that doesn't just taste like fried meat, it has that real naija taste!! I got suya platter as an appetizer and indomie with suya, and my brothers got suya shawarma...the food was flavorful and customer service was amazing, such friendly folks. Vibes too are there, the playlist they had in the background had me dancing while eating. Overall this restaurant was a good introduction to houston!

Wow - definitely pleasantly surprised. We saw the pictures on yelp and I said let's give this a shot since we were nearby. We had the kids with us and asked for low spice options which they provided. The kids had noodles with shrimp/chicken - they were tasty and they kids tried their best to finish their plates but the food portions were large so we gave them a pass on not finishing their food. Their plantains were well seasoned. Their fries were awesome. The pepper soup was good (and spicy so beware). We also had a sandwich that shall not be named (look at the menu and you will figure it out). It was really good. Service took a while - everything was freshly cooked - so come prepared with a little patience and you won't be disappointed. Will definitely be back if nearby.

Fire food , good prices , great service and good atmosphere would highly highly recommend, Especially if your African.

Came in late night with a friend for a bite to eat. Ordered the shawarma and it was so flavorful I could tell the grill veggies were fresh and the meat was well seasoned and spicy just the way I like it! Also the shawarma wrap was so big I had to eat it in 2 sittings. Restaurant was very clean and I believe the owner is the one that prepared my meal he was very nice and had a big smile on his face. Since I live 2 blocks away I will be coming back to try other menu items.

The food is pretty good, especially the steak suya. However, the customer service could use improvement. Be sure they get your order right before leaving.

Just stopped by on my way home to try this place out because its been the talk of the town. I ordered the Jollof rice and Suya! Im not sure if he is the owner but the gentleman cooking the food was super nice. The food is excellent and so flavorful. They also give you a great amount. I def recommend!

The food was perfect. The owner is really nice and humble and communicates with the customers the first time we came it was super busy on a Friday night so the wait was longer than expected but the food was really worth it. I definitely recommend this location to anybody that lives in Houston or anybody visiting Houston .

Stopped by when I was in Town visiting. Amazing food especially the indomie. The service was fast and everyone was so nice.

first to review, i feel so special lol! But i absolutely love this place! I tried them for the first time after seeing them on tiktok. The food is so delicious and cooked fresh right in front of you, the atmosphere is great and the music is so good, plus everyone was so kind and friendly. Get the suya shawarma! I'll definitely be back.
