African Grill and Bar

We are baffled. Why was our experience so incredibly different from the majority of the other reviewers? We did not have a good experience. This is a large restaurant that had only two other tables with guests. We went at 6:00 pm on a weekday. Most importantly, the food was not fresh or freshly prepared. The rice, chicken drumsticks, and sauces were so obviously left over and reheated from a few days prior. The rice was mushy and pasty on one plate and dried out and crunchy on the other. The drumsticks (2each) were dried out, tough, and stringy ( mostly impossible to chew). The vegetable ingredients in the sauces were mushy and were off color. We ate about half of the food and prayed we would not get sick.The service was inconsistent. The owner took our order. More precisely, she told us what we were having. We asked for help with the menu and it was not provided. Rather, she asked, "do you want spinach or cabbage, chicken or lamb? I will decide the rest" she exclaimed! A different young lady brought the plates. She was much more friendly and pleasant. She refilled our waters and told us to pay up front when finished. The meal before tip was over 65.00 dollars. This was for chicken drumsticks, rice and sauce. Not many things are cheaper than chicken drumsticks and rice. We understand that time and effort goes into cooking but if you're charging that much, it needs to be decent. It was just bad food.Outrageous! Had it been fresh and tasted better, the cost would have been easier to swallow. The decor is just okay. There's nothing special about it except for the lovely wood carvings by the front register. One star for ample parking and decent service from the second young lady that helped us. We never saw the owner again. We won't be returning.

We tried this place recently after receiving rave reviews about African Grill from our daughter and son-in-law-(who should know-having tried cuisine from every African restaurant they could find since returning 10 yrs ago from a honeymoon Safari). Delicious entrees to explore from multiple African countries! Vegetarian options are available in most dishes, Meat is always an option. Gluten-free is always safe here, too, without fear of cross contamination. This is a proud, Ghana family owned business of 22 years whose family members have worked hard and expanded their restaurant over the years.

We ended up here because the original place we were planning to go to was closed. I'm so happy our original plan didn't work out because this place is phenomenal. My husband, a friend, and I shared:- Gingerbiss Juice- Ghana Must Go- Kelewele- Cabbage Lamb + Jollof Rice- Pounded Yam Fufu + Egusi & Goat- Ugali/Pap OxtailEverything was packed with flavor. A couple of my favorite things were the Jollaf rice and the oxtail, but every single thing was incredible.I wasn't familiar with the cuisine, so I loved that they had a best dishes section of the menu. We also got some great recommendations from the employees. I will definitely be coming back here!

I highly recommended this spot!!!! Everything was delicious, and the vibes were amazing. It's family owned and has been around for 20 years. I had the lamb spinach stew with fufu and the Ethiopian beer.Thank you, Sylvester and Theodora, for this great experience. The family and I will be back!!!!!!!!!

Phenomenal food, drinks, and service! We tried the Egusi and pounded yam. My daughter had the oxtail and pounded yam.. box very fresh and delicious!! We visited from Huntsville, AL and will for sure be back. Highly recommend you give this amazing family owned restaurant a try if you are in the area. If you aren't, book a flight and visit!

Restaurant is big and immersed with African decor. The experience starts the second you walk through the door with the scent of spices that accompany you on the way to your table. Food was absolutely delicious. Flavors translate as if you're eating a home cooked meal. Last but not least, the ladies who work there are phenomenal. Their hospitality is warm and welcoming. I didn't even order my drink or meal. I ask for a recommendation and she delivered exactly what we wanted. 10/10. I recommend.

I am so grateful that fate brought my wife and I here for dinner. We had planned to go to an all you can eat sushi place. I'm so glad that sushi place ended up closed because that's when we pivoted to Africa Grill and Bar. The service was pleasant and accomodating. And the food was not only delicious but also unlike anything I've had before.My wife and I shared Gingerbiss Juice, Ghana Must Go (non-alcoholic), Kelewele, Cabbage Lamb + Jollof Rice, Pounded Yam Fufu + Egusi & Goat, Ugali/Pap Oxtail. I honestly couldn't tell you which I liked better because it was all so so exceptionally flavorful.As for the ambiance, the place is peaceful, quiet, calm, and decorated in African art.

This place is AMAZING!!! Between the beyond delicious food and the very friendly service/staff, I definitely will be back! I have the yam fufu with Spinach and lamb, which was so yummy! My partner has the plantain fufu with goat and spicy broth. We were both blown away. 1000% recommend this place!

Bad customer service. If you don't understand the menu due to the fact that you're not from Africa. They will try to make you feel stupid

A wonderful family owned place with phenomenal dishes. The family is very helpful with ordering and super friendly. Everything we tried from cocktails, appetizers and main dishes continued to get better and better. We couldn't pick a favorite-everything was great. A must try if you haven't already. We can't wait to go back.
