After seeing all the good reviews I was very excited to try this place. Unfortunately my experience was not as good as others. The lamb was so tough and chewy and the beef wrap was even tougher it’s like these were the cheaper cuts of meat. The rice was even hard I fed my lamb to my dog. The customer service was good however I’m unsure if I’m willing to try another item on the menu.
My first time trying snapper … Full review on tiktok @bonnie.babyyyy or on IG @bonnie.babyyyy
We've gone to Maty's at least a dozen times. We always get the whole chicken with rice. I love the food but the spice level is very inconsistent with each visit. For example, yesterday the rice was way too spicy for me. While sometimes its not very spicy at all. Even my wife, who loves spicy food, was surprised by the spice level. Ideally, Maty's would be consistent on this and perhaps generally have things only moderately spicy?
Delicious spice that COMPLETELY boosted the flavor of the peanut stew. I love their lemon rice as well. However, my red snapper dinner with “jollof rice” and plantains was very subpar. Extremely bland to say the least. And the plantains were severely undercooked on the inside! Thankfully, the owner and his staff were committed to making sure I was happy so they tried making it again. It was still undercooked so they gave me a refund. Don’t know if i’ll be back but if do, it’ll be for the peanut stew and rice with the delicious spicy sauce. Really good portions!
Maty’s African Restaurant is more than just great food — it’s a place full of warmth, culture, and community spirit. Every dish tastes homemade and full of love. I’ll be recommending it to all my friends!
I was in heaven eating their red snapper, like wow they really know what there doing here. All the sides were well cooked as well I’ll definitely be back
Super delicious food and great prices. One dish of peanut stew was enough for 3 people. And the tilapia was superb. Authentic, affordable, and immensely tasty.
My first time eating African food and I loved everything I had. More so the waitress was awesome helping me and my friend who flew in from FL because he seen a video about them go viral. The hidden gem is the juice they make. The berry mint and ginger juice were easily my favorite. The chicken had so much flavor and was juicy. The portion sizes were very large and even being full I wanted to keep eating because it tasted so good. Loved the fried plantains & both appetizers. A hole in the wall place that packs some serious flavor! Great place! ********UPDATE******************* Went back with some friends from FL and service was even better if I could give 10stars I would. The owner was there as well so we got a picture and even tried a new juice they make.
