The owner (business manager) lied in her push back review in response to my initial review of her not calling me back to take my catering order. The lie is I did not say that I got sick eating at The Dish Restaurant, your competitor. Business Manager, Owner, be fully aware of the legal grounds in which you choose to venture upon. The owner Lisa B. lied againI did not say that I got sick eating food from the Sermat Restaurant. If I did I would post a review on Sermat's Review page just as I did on Drelyse's review page. Lying reveals a very personal and broken business character flaw. You're just hurting yourself here.

I do want to disclose the pictures are not mine. Use them here to describe the food. Did not have phone on me to capture but accurately represent the food we ate. This is an African restaurant tucked away in a small strip mall. I came across this on yelp and decided to pick up dinner for family. Food is very authentic. The fried fish is highly recommended. Amazing fusion of flavors. Loved every bite. Fufu with beef stew and rice with beans was also amazing. I also ordered chicken with jollaf rice. Every menu item was infused with amazing flavors. You can dine in but the dine in space is small. Seems like they also have entertainment/karaoke. Excellent customer service. Will be heading beck for another meal!

As other reviewers have already mentioned, you don't come for the ambiance or fancy service, but for the food. I thought the food was quite good. My wife got the lamb shank and Jollof rice. The dish comes in two sizes: regular and large. And the regular size is already a pretty good sized portion. I got the goat stew with rice. Both dishes were quite flavorful but come with a heapful of raw onions, which my wife hates, so I was busily scraping the raw onions out of each dish :). The meat wasn't cooked fall of the bone tender but was not bad. The side order of fried plantains were delicious. Okay, so be aware that if you are vegetarian, this is not the place for you because they cook most dishes with meat stock. We had come here with our close friends who are vegetarian and they really didn't have too many options.

Went in for a Sunday lunch. A very nice server explained what different items on the menu were. We ended up ordering fried chicken with jollof rice and fried fish with banku. They were fried perfectly and served with a savory, tomato sauce and marinated tomatoes and red onions. The decor is nice and the music just needed a better blue tooth connection. Many neighborhood folks dropping in for takeout. A few weeks ago we had East African food (Tanzanian). This food (Ghanian) is very different. Thank you for a good meal and for expanding our palates.

This is my very first time to visit an authentic, traditional African food restaurant. It is a very popular restaurant. We arrived 20 minutes after opening and there was a constant flow of people in to be seated and order for carry out.We ordered the Grilled Tilapia, Light goat fufu, Chicken with Jollof, and Goatwith Jollof. For appetizers we ordered the plantains and fried yams. Every dish was spectacular. The spices and flavors were so unique and all had a nice heat.The fish (bone in) was like butter. The walls and decor all celebrated Africa from the art down to the Nelson Mandela plaque. And end-to-end great experience. Some people seemed to wait quite some time for their food so if time is of the essence you may want to order ahead.

They mislabel their dishes online which is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Salad marked as "vegan" contains both fish and egg. This is ridiculously irresponsible for a restaurant owner, who clearly does not know what vegan or even vegetarian means.Edit: And I'm "arrogant" for calling this out. Y'all are literally contaminating people if you're mislabeling your dishes in this way. Getting defensive when receiving valid criticism is proof of guilt. I'll be sure to spread the word.

The food was great. We got sambusas to start - yummy, flaky and warm with delicious seasoned beef in them I got the red red with fried fish and plantains My husband got the okra stew with beef and fufu I ended up using the fufu to eat my red red which was basically black eyed peas in a delicious sauce which I loved with the sweetness and softness of the fufuThey being around these big basins to wash your hands if you choose to eat with your hands which we did! Great experience overall The points taken off were because the service was a bit disorganized and the staff was fighting loudly

Food service and prices. My chicken legs were dry and I wasn't even asked if I preferred white meat or dark meat. Also why are the coconuts $16?!
