Hearty dishes, such as wounded yam, egusi with spinach and fish, or the jollof rice with chicken, beef or fish
This place was a surprise hit for me. I was extremely hesitant the moment I sat down - the restaurant was empty and dark, and the only entertainment was Dikembe Mutombo’s NBA highlights on loop for two hours straight, lol. Jollof Rice - Rice, tomato paste, pepper, garlic & onion. It’s a sweeter rice entrée & actually quite enjoyable. I’d recommend adding the goat - it pairs really well. Apapa Efo Riro - Made with spinach, egusi (ground melon seeds), & fish. This dish was full of flavor & easily the highlight of our dinner. Fufu - A West African paste made from cassava and green plantain flour. I swapped this in for white rice, and it was a great call. The texture is unique, but it blended perfectly with the Apapa Efo. Overall - I can see why the reviews are mixed. The service was extremely slow - it took 45 minutes for just 2 entrées & there were only 2 other guests in the restaurant. The ambiance is confusing; I’m not sure what vibe they’re going for. That said, the food was surprisingly delicious! The menu lacks detail, so you’re better off asking for recommendations. Prices could be a bit lower to attract more customers, but the portion sizes are decent.
Brought a family friend here. Had a pleasant lunch she was good company. The service was okay. A little rough on the start. Food came out frozen. Everything tasted well 😋 though. I would like to return and try some other items. Fish soup,goat stew, and meat pies. The pies had wonderful flavors and were homemade. They were frozen on arrival, though. All mishaps aside, the atmosphere was nice. POZOLUTION ratings are as follows. Service- 7 Food- 7 Atmosphere- 9 Cleanliness- 9 Value- 7 Nice Job! Team African Palace!
