Amazing food. Great service. Easy parking. It was my first time at African Village. I will definitely come back. I was craving that rich flavor meal I grew up eating. I for sure got that. Egusi was amazing. It came out steaming hot. It was painful waiting a few minutes for the food to cool down because I wanted to eat it right away. But it's not good to complain about food being too hot. There was ample seating. The server was attentive and courteous. When I walked in there was a black cowboy riding a Rodeo on TV. So assume this may be a great place to watch sports and eat. Make sure to order an Indian Malta with your food. There was a wide variety of food selections on the menu. So it's a good idea to reviews the menu prior to coming. See images attached. I will be back for the awesome food.

Order Okra soup, the entire soup melted through the styrofoam container. So the entire soup was wasted in the bag. Horrible container placement!! I'm really pissed about this!

I've never had African food before and this was not what I was expecting. Very inviting flavors that are still rich and delicious. The stew tasted like a consomé and the goat fell of the bone. Very similar to a birria flavor with a little bit of a twist. Definitely would have this again.

Finding Eru around town is hard, so naturally I come get my fix at African Village! But all in all, I always have a pleasant but quick exchange with the staff, music is always blasting on the speakers, there is always a random group of guys having one type of meeting or another, the food is always spicy and I always leave full and happy! You can't beat it!They did SURGE their pricing with no notice. But the flavors are so bomb that I'll just pop in from time to time.

Ordered Egusi soup from this restaurant. Ate it and ended up in hospital for 3 days. After I ate the food went into anaphylaxis shock. Almost died. Had eaten the same dish from this establishment for over 7 years. Never got sick except for this time. Don't know what they changed in the recipe but it was deadly to me and I don't have any food allergies. Will never eat from there again. Be forewarned.

Food: I gave this place 3 chances, and only once was the food well prepared and fresh (only because it was catered). It seems like their food is frozen and then microwaved. Service: They got all my orders wrong. What led me to place this review is the fact that I placed an order over the phone, drove 30 mins to get there, and my order was not yet submitted. To make it worse, they told me that what I had ordered wasn't available, so they asked me to completely change my order.

Was super excited to try this place because food is more Ghanaian-leaning. Drove from mckinney to Irving to be disappointed.Pros:Jollof was decent. Tilapia was great!Okroh stew was great but meat portion was lil bit off( a lot of skin, not a lot of meat)! We had this spinach side that was bomb!!So the problem wasn't the food so muchCons: service is super super poor which is sad given how good the food is. Water is not free. They don't tell you it will be charged to you which I have never seen before in my life. Also we ordered 2 items we never got, went to the kitchen window after 20 mins of not getting it with our other food to ask for it, and they brought only one of the two dishes out and said nothing and did nothing about the other dish. I think our server legit left in the middle of our meal. Like we saw her leave.I know places are understaffed by man I have never seen service as bad as this. Other African places may not always have the best service but nowhere as messy as this.I'll probably try coming again in the future and hope things can improve bc the food is decent and they have dishes other places don't. Hope things get better
