Le Mandingue African Restaurant

Five stars! This place is an absolute gem. The food is seasoned to perfection, and the portions are generous—you truly can’t beat the value here. I’ve been to their Maryland location, but this spot feels like their home base, with a more authentic vibe. It’s also the only African restaurant I’ve found that serves the Liberian dish, Potato Greens (I like to pair with Jollof), which is hands-down my favorite. If you’re looking for amazing, authentic flavors, this is the place to go!

I’ve always enjoyed eating from this restaurant because you can’t beat the price for the portion of food you should normally receive, however, look at the inconsistency in the photos from two separate orders! The Jollof rice is NOT the same and being a proud Nigerian, I appreciate the authenticity of Jollof! The restaurant only received 3 stars because from time to time you never know what kind of Jollof you will receive.

The Fufu soup was the perfect flavor and just the right amount of spice to clear these stuffy sinuses

We ordered potato greens, peanut butter soup and red snapper. The potato greens was salty and had chicken bones and a few slivers of meat. With smoke turkey that was salty too. Nor did the greens have any of the flavors normally included. The peanut butter soup had the right flavor but only had beef hoofs and slivers of chopped turkey smoked necks. The snapper was flavorful but on the dry side. This experience occurred at the upper Darby location.

The business is of an utter distruct, with disastrous service, they also lie to your face and pretend nobody is there when you clearly hear them talking through the dirty cloth that imposes to be a door. I had my order taken, given a 30 minute wait time for food that takes no more than 15 minutes to prep, and then told that they were closed and never took my order although the order was placed 39 minutes before closing. They also have a 13 years old boy taking orders and dealing with customers while adults tiptoe through the glass windows after denying being present.

I’ve been coming here for yearssss and I ordered some Jollof rice and lamb yesterday! When I say they haven’t changed not one bit in a great way! Food is still amazing and so tasty!! Thank you for never falling off and still making your food with love!

Prompt service and very tasty! I'm Jamaican and i love their food! its very tasty, seasoned and grilled to perfection! The proportions are very generous and their menu is not expensive!

The food was surprisingly good. Juicy plantain, spicy goat meat, and the portions are truly generous. Parking is always a challenge but it's well worth the hassle.
