Nema Kitchen

My wife and I wanted something different. My stepson was also wanting something different as well. We decided on African food because we wanted to try Fufu. We arrived to Nema's to find it was in an unfavorable area. Nevertheless, we still decided to try the food. On this particular day, they did not offer FuFu so we decided on lamb, cabbage, Jill of rice and vegetables. It took a while to receive our food because they had to cook more lamb. After waiting 30 minutes, we finally received our food and took it home. There was a mound of jollof rice for each plate with lamb on top and a sheet or so of cabbage and several cut carrots. The jollof rice was flavorful but the lamb was dry. There was not enough vegetables for me, personally. This is one reason I'm giving 2 stars. The other reason is there were family members that came into the restaurant and went straight to the food on the line. I felt this was unprofessional and not a good look for the restaurant. I'd expect them to have someone else prepare the food for them. We may visit again to try the FuFu.

Flavor galore. My son thought the fish was burned but it was seared, which is a burned look with flavor. Delectable! The plantain though was given to the dogs. It was tasty but burned. Friendly service.

Wowwowwowwow! I'm not familiar with West African cuisine; I'm just always in search of delicious, humble, homemade eats. If you're in the airport area, check out this spot. It doesn't seem like much from the outside, but it is a bustling spot inside. Most people are getting food to carry out, but we ate inside. Go for the daily specials. By the way, chebb = tiny, glutinous, chubby and deliciously flavored rice. I made the mistake (or perhaps not) of ordering sides with the daily special, which is a ton of food. Got the cabbage and the plantains-both delicious. The plantains are crispy and not flimsy. Delicious food. Definitely will be back to try other dishes. One star off because everything comes in styrofoam...

The peppa was good, the service is friendly and quick, if I went back would get okra instead of egusi, love egusi but this was done different to my taste. Tilapia wasn't bad but flavor little salty for my taste. Won't burn a West African restaurant unless rude but some things were prepared different and you can see I'm an expert in W. African cuisine.

Best homemade Ginger juice in town. The food is flavorful delicious...I am satisfied patron for last 3 yrs. Clean and safe...friendly...

There was no other customer in the place. I walked in knowing exactly what I wanted to order. I was greeted by one lady but told someone else would take my order. I stood at the counter for 18 minutes. During that time the counter person was walking back and forth to the kitchen for no apparent reason. During this time she asked and I voiced my order three separate times. All three times she was half speaking to me and half speaking to someone on the phone. She finally walked away to the kitchen and never returned to finish my order. I drove 43 miles round trip specifically to eat at Nema because I was looking for fishball stew. I left with nothing. She had one job to do and failed miserably.

Amazing real food, whenever I want some homemade feel food I hit the African spot up. If not Jamaican. I love their cous cous and whole snapper. Their fish pies are to die for. Non frozen, real food. My third time here and again I am pleased with my dish. My husband ordered the stew fish, he love it. Highly recommend.

So sad :/ I might try it again because there's really good reviews on the food but mine was lacking so much. I got the fishball stew and it came with rice. The portion size was big! But the rice - idk how you can burn rice when it's coming from a rice cooker but it was burnt. The fish all stew had some cabbage in it. The cabbage was good. But the fish balls themselves. It was a no. They were dry and bready/cake like. And hard on the outside. Oh and the food wasn't hot. It was a little over room temp. Which probably is not up to code :/ so sad.

Patronized this restaurant for the first time. Pleasantly surprised by the favor of the Chebb/Benachin Rice. Most African spots in the area struggle with keeping the authentic feel in the dishes. The grilled chicken definitely is not the typical Dibi style but more jerk Still it was not bad. Nema is priced fairly as well. Planning to go back to try other items in the future.

The food here is great! Some of my favorites include Chicken Yassa, Domoda( Peanut Butter Stew), grilled lamb, beef patties, ebbeh( spicy seafood dish), okra stew, lamb stew, and benachin. The costumer service is excellent, everybody there is nice. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves tasty and healthy food at an affordable price.
