Bantu House

"After the Houston Chronicle write up, I had to give this place a try. Ordered takeout and was served by the pretty daughter of the family that owns it. She said the family is from Cameroon. My friend and I loved the beans and the cabbage the most; one of the dishes (beans, I think) was a little spicy, but not more than we could handle. The bread made of corn was good for dipping into the peanut soup. Scoop of chicken had flavorful spices. And the plantains were great too. Definitely give them a try."

"This is by far the best Nigerian restaurant I may have ever been too. We got here around 7:30pm on a Tuesday evening, and although they closed at 8pm, we got seated with no issues. Our waitress brought over the menus and it was simple and creative. I got the grilled fish, and it came with plantain and spinach. We also got the shrimp skewers to share, which were really tasty. The food did take a little while to come out but it was worth the wait. Overall, the staff was polite, the restaurant was clean and didn't smell like food and the food was great. Now, my drink, the sneaky link, was straight up sugar but, everything else was so great that I didn't mind."

"Allow me to share my experience with you. If you've ever dined at a Nigerian restaurant, you may be aware that exceptional service isn't always their strong suit. However, this particular establishment proved to be a delightful exception. While the dining area was relatively small, it provided a comfortable atmosphere. Upon our arrival, the server promptly attended to us, took our orders, and impressively, within just 10 minutes, our food was served - a remarkable feat. The server was accommodating and went the extra mile to cater to my children's preferences, as they are not fans of spicy food. The quality of the food was outstanding, and the pricing was in line with what one might expect for typical Nigerian cuisine. I'm certainly inclined to revisit this place in the future."

Unique African Cuisine

★★★★☆ 3.6 (47)

"I had never tasted authentic dishes from the Ivory Coast, so upon discovering this Westchase bar and grill, I made the ~30 min drive and boy was it worth it. The casual place is fun, well decorated, and feels very local, with small tables arranged across a tile floor, a long bar at the back, and a giant projector that was showing a clip of an African music festival. The menu features familiar Nigerian staples like jollof rice, egusi, and suya, but I stuck strictly to the Ivorian fare for my take-out order. Here is an accounting of this adventure:Gnamakoudji - a popular street drink in West Africa containing ginger and pineapple juice. Not knowing what to expect, I took a hefty pull from the straw and immediately started coughing. There's a reason it is sometimes colloquially called "spicy/chili water." It has an extremely sharp and intense ginger barb upfront that is subsequently cooled by sugary tropical fruit tones. It grew on me, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't sear my throat and clear my sinuses. Garba and Attiéké - Garba is a beloved snack sold in street stalls across Côte d'Ivoire in the form of fried bone-in tuna served over attiéké (coarsely grated fermented cassava) with a relish of diced tomatoes, onions, and peppers, plus oil and a single Maggi cube as condiments. You'll want to eat this piping hot and with your hands like I did. The fish was juicy and intense and melded so well with the veggies, especially with an added pop of MSG from the Maggi seasoning.Alloco - sweet, earthy, funky plantain chunks fried in peanut or palm oil until almost reddish-brown. The side order comes with a ton. Kedjenou - a traditional rustic stew of chicken that achieves peak moistness after simmering in its own juices in an earthenware pot. The meat was oh-so-tender and had leeched all its gelatin and fat into the smoky, aromatic broth filled with peppers and onions. Just absolutely delicious over rice. The staff in person and on the phone were friendly and helpful, and the quantity of food more than justifies the price. Ivorian cuisine has won me over, and I can't wait to further explore its depths."

"This place is a gem. It's in a great location, very nice, spacious, bright and well kept inside. The customer service is wonderful, the woman at the counter was very welcoming, friendly and helpful. There is a good amount of food options available on their steam table. I enjoyed the Fufu, egusi soup with fish and fish pie... needless to say I can't wait to return tomorrow to explore a few more dishes. It looks like I will be a regular customer!"

Sabo Suya Spot

★★★★☆ 4.1 (29) • $

"Came here with my sister. She claims the suya is great and better than Suya Hut so I thought, let me check it out. There was only 1 clerk handling all the orders. I thought it was interesting that she remembered everyone's order without writing it down.Prior to ordering, I asked if the meat is halal meat. She said yes. (Disclaimer: I'm not Muslim but I asked because halal meat is likely a bit better than your conventional farm factory meat. I know no one there will likely know such details as who the farmer is, how the animals were fed and finished, no use of hormones or antibiotics, free range, etc). I ordered the beef suya, 10 sticks. When I got home, I realized it was more than 10 sticks. The seasoning and flavor is pretty good. Spicy but too spicy (bare in mind my tongue is acclimated for spicy food all day everyday). From the looks of it, this establishment was designed as a club or lounge or some sort of live entertainment bar. It has a stage, bar, and 2 doors to pass through before entering. It's very spacious and just a few tables and chairs here and there. I don't know the future vision of Sabo Suya Spot, but it appears this business is solely used for its kitchen purposes and to order takeaway and catered food. The ambiance is in no way or form setup as a typical restaurant."

"Jollof was spot on! Spot on! I was pleased.Portions are heaping. Each order comes with huge portion of jollof, meat and succulent plantains.The environment: small clean restaurant placed in a gas station strip mall. In side is very neat, decor is chíc. Would probably seat 25-30 comfortably. Several TVs. Supposedly there will be hookah at some point.When I visited, stay-at-home orders had just been lifted and not many were voyaging out to eat. I was the only one in the restaurant. But they were nice and accommodating and I feel this place has great odds despite a rough start with COVID season!"

"If I could give Elyon 7 stars I would!My first time in, I ordered Egusi with chicken and pounded yam. It's was UH MAZE ZING! My only complaint would be that I only got one piece of chicken. Overall, the flavor was on point, the chicken was tender, the soup was SPICY like I like it, and the fufu was hittin just right!This time (my second time in two weeks) I got okra soup with chicken and honeyyyyyyyyyy, the chef put their foot in this stew yall! The consistency is so gelatinous, the flavors are rounded out with just enough smoke and heat! Baybeeee, even my four year old niece was trying to beat me to the bottom of the bowl! She needed some sips of water, to cool the heat, but she gave me two thumbs up!"

Amala Zone

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (34)

"Off of westheimer Rd and Hwy 6, right by West Oak Mall, this spacious restaurant is new to the area where 2 other Nigerian restaurants exists within a couples miles radius. The place is quite big, clean and comfortable. They have a whole cleaning kit at your table, quite impressive! Food was awesome, jollof rice out of this world. Went back another time and the food was just as good as the 1st although we chose diff meals this time. Being a novice when it comes to African food, I've always sworn by jollof rice and didn't think anything else would be as good...until I tasted his meal, the yam porridge OMG. I've been missing out! He had Amala and I forget the stew's name. All yummy! Only drawback is the customer service. The servers were kind, but lacked professionalism. Hopefully that will change in the near future. Def recommend this spot!"

Suya Hut

★★★★☆ 3.8 (59)

"Stopped by to try some Suya for the first time. I love me some good african food . the suya was really good and tasty. I got the chicken combo plate with the rice . I also got the beef suya to try that one as well. I ate my meal with a refreshing vita malt . I highly recommend that drink it is delicious. Not many people like that drink since it has an acquired taste. Im carribean so I love malt i used to hate it as a kid now i love it. it is non alcoholic and to describe the taste it has a flavor profile of syrup with hints of grain like a sweet beer. I highly recommend to drink it super super cold. otherwise it taste weird when its not cold. The only thing that was kind of so so was the rice. its not as good as other jollof rice places. it had too much of that smoky taste and the rice was lot its like a pound of rice. i think the combo is good but id prefer the protein over rice. Good overall spot and super super clean this is rare in african restaurants."

Lucy Ethiopian Restaurant & Lounge

★★★★☆ 4.3 (482) • $$

"First impressions can be deceiving when it comes to this local family-run Ethiopian joint. The inside can appear a tad run-down, as the décor looks like it hasn't been updated in a while, there are holes in the couches, and it was a little muggy when we walked in. Nonetheless, the service is warm and friendly and the home-style fare is worth the trek. Our waitress insisted that we try some complimentary honey wine and we savored the sweet and sharp taste so much that we ended up buying a couple bottles. Definitely go with a sampler to try as many items as possible, and I would recommend a mixture of veggie and meat options as the vegetarian stuff was some of the best. The platters are naturally served with injera, which (if you haven't tried it before) is a sort of mildly sour stretchy flat bread that is wonderful for soaking up sauces. The lentils and spinach were wonderfully complex and satisfying. The beef and chicken preparations were earthy and spicy with a healthy underlying bitterness. The diversity of flavors and textures was excellent - it's like someone is playing a keyboard on your tongue. At risk of generalizing an entire cuisine through comparison, Ethiopian food has hints of traditional Indian flavors but is of course its own thing entirely with more sourness, earthiness, and a fruitier heat. It's absolutely delicious and Lucy showcases the range well. I was pretty full at the end, so you could reasonably share a platter between two depending on your hunger level."

ChopnBlok

★★★★★ 4.8 (230) • $$

"There are a lot of interesting food options at POST Market, but none are more more celebrated or more successful than ChopnBlok. They've done an outstanding job in showcasing west African inspired fare through fast casual execution becoming the food court's most popular and quite possibly, tastiest stall in the process.The stall is as small and tight as others, but they've managed to turn what little room they have into a contemporary modern and inviting space. They've managed to stand out by being one of the only businesses to openly offer food and drink samples, which has been instrumental in hooking in new customers to the fold. This is especially impressive since their stall isn't the most visible and is semi-tucked away in the corner of the court.Some of those samples usually include their golden bowl and a swig of their oga palmer, two of their biggest best sellers. The golden bowl is a souped up version of their trad ($16) is a combination of coconut curry, black-eyed peas over strips of chicken over bed of jollof jambalaya and sweet fried kelewele. The green & tings bowl features a Ghanaian style steak skewer doused with yaji and ginger, topped over rice, braised collard greens with a bit of kale with plantains. The motherland ($14) is a vegan friendly bowl, with white rice, curry, yaji, and stewed plantains. The aforementioned oga palmer is hibiscus tea with fresh lemonade and is the perfect drink to wash everything down with.Service varies a bit like any location, but the hipster'y staff is generally friendly even if they're a bit slow at times. I think the portions could be a little more substantial given the price, which has felt skimpier and skimpier as time has gone on.At the end of the day, all first timers to the food court owe it to themselves to try out ChopnBlok. Their marketing is some of the best I've seen for a business like this. The hype is subjective, but when it comes down to it, they have a winning recipe for quality food in one of Houston's most unique food court venues."

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (120) • $$

"Came on Saturday night and there was plenty of seating (mix of table seating, high tops, and a bar). The restaurant is trendy and clean inside, and dress is casual. Located in a plaza with a shared parking lot. Service was fantastic and our waiter was wonderful, offering us many recommendations.We wanted to try a lot so we ordered a few things which was more than we could finish. Appetizers: The chicken pie was good, big, and enough to split among two people. It was my first time trying a Scotch egg but I enjoyed it. Puff puffs are two dense and giant fried dough balls that were delicious and filling... don't recommend ordering before dinner because they are filling. Entree:I got the Egusi soup with chicken and fufu. The soup was a thick, ground nutty consistency with cooked green leaves in it, served with two chicken drumsticks in a tomato-like sauce in a separate bowl. Fufu comes wrapped and hot. I enjoyed the taste of the soup however I could not get past the smell. It had an extremely pungent odor and because it was my first time trying this, I don't know if this is normal. The chicken was great though, fell off the bone and the sauce delicious. The portion of fufu was giant. This dish on its own was a lot of food.I also tried a little bit of the Jollof rice with beef and plantains which was delicious. This was a lot of food that would be very filling on its own. Overall, I'd recommend and would come back again next time I'm in the area."

"Very pleasant surprise off of Hwy 6. The place is big and may seem impersonal. But not at all. The staff is very nice. Young man waiting on us and mending the front (cash) area was very patient and professional. Although he was multi tasking, he never made us feel like we were annoying him with our various requests. Patrons seem to feel very at home when they get there. The food was excellent. The pepper they serve with the fish is a must try, even if one doesn't particularly like spicy food. It kicks the fish flavor up a couple notches. I will def recommended and come back. Good job to all the staff and I hope you stay just as great as well as your food quality."

Royal Arm Restaurant African and Caribbean

★★★★☆ 4.4 (26)

"This restaurant is conveniently located east of 99 freeway on the north side of the road inside a shopping plaza. There is plenty of parking just a few steps away.I visited to place a takeout order of jollof rice and pepper goat soup. Pepper Goat soup can be spicy, but they did ask me me how spicy I wanted it. If you've never had goat soup I would compare it to oxtail soup. Oxtail are much larger pieces though. Goat is better, healthier and leaner than oxtail. It's also high in iron and low in saturated fats. This restaurant serves good quality food and friendly plus quick service. The pepper goat soup was delicious and meaty. For once, I've gotten a bowl of pepper goat soup that is mostly meat pieces versus gristle fatty parts. The soup and it's meat was seasoned perfectly. It was not too spicy at all to where I'd break a sweat just trying to eat it. It was definitely perfect. The jolloff rice was good and seasoned good too. I wil definitely be back for this meal.I'm so happy to have found authentic quality Nigerian food much closer to me in Katy. I definitely recommend this restaurant if you're looking for some good, quality healthy food with even lots of gluten free options."

"Wowwwww wowww woww! All I need to say to sum the food here! The food is delicious omg I wish I like to Jack but I do not live in Houston.I went with my mother and sister, we arrived and were kindly welcomed. The restroom was not filled with people and they provided hand soap for washing as well. I ordered egusi soup with pounded yam and my sister & mother ordered the edikaikong soup. Our food took 10-15 minutes to arrive which was pretty good! Our server was so patient and kind as well. When I rated that egusi soup???? My heart melted. They really cool the soho with all their heart. They include love I'm telling you lol. The portion of soup to pounded yam was perfect as well, infant so much that I had to take the rest to go. I also tasted my mothers edikaikong soup and it was SO DELICIOUS!! So of course when I do come back I will be ordering that soup. But then again the egusi was just so amazing, it was really authentic tasting. If you're looking for a naija restaurant in Houston just come here. I rate this place 10/10. I will definitely be back!"

Amala Joint

★★★★★ 4.6 (16)

"I've been dipping my toes into the underrated cuisine of the African diaspora lately, so decided to make the drive to this unpretentious cafeteria-style Nigerian spot outside the loop. I think it's mostly frequented by regulars because the young lady behind the counter seemed a little surprised to see us walk in. There are no prices on the in-house menu, but the main plates range from $15-$20. Some of the flavors are certainly acquired tastes that will challenge unaccustomed palates, but overall I would give my experience a 3.5/5.Jollof Rice w/ Chicken - the prototypical West African rice dish which consists chewy granules stewed in a slightly spicy and sweet tomato broth. It was fragrant and mellow in taste. The chicken itself was well-cooked and juicy which some beautifully crispy skin.Egusi - a traditional soup made from ground melon seeds, stock, leafy vegetables, and meat. The taste of this dish was more challenging for me and featured funky, nutty, and earthy notes. There were off-cuts of meat and offal mixed in; the cow skin was chewy but didn't add much flavor and I'm just not a fan of tripe in general. I have had versions of egusi that I really liked, but this one wasn't my favorite. Goat Stew - this was probably my least favorite dish. The meat was overcooked to the point of being leathery, and the bone-to-meat ratio was less than ideal. The flavor itself was decent. Our "swallow" of choice with the above was fufu, or pounded fermented cassava, which was like a bouncier and milder form of mashed potatoes that clings to all the spicy sauces and stews. The staff took good care of us and I would definitely come back to try some of their other recommendations."

Famous Princess Kitchen

★★★★☆ 3.5 (41)

"OHHH THE DISAPPOINTMENTS CONTINUES!!! I've been wanting to experience this place for so long because it's near my place of residence, but I've always been skeptical about it. I finally had the opportunity to stop by, but I was met with disappointments. First, when I arrived, there was not a worker in sight. There was only one customer at the bar waiting for her order, I assumed. There was a man sitting at a table also waiting for an interview, I believe. I scanned the room for a menu but I didn't see any, not even a wall menu. So, I just continued to stand at the counter waiting for service but it took forever for someone to come from the back. After waiting for five minutes or more, I decided to just leave. Five minutes is my wait limit. I was tired of standing there hungry and listening to their conversations in the kitchen. After I walked out and was already in my vehicle, a lady came running to my passenger window apologizing and asking me to come back in. I told her that it's not a problem at all and that I will come back in. Secondly, I asked for a menu so that I could see what they have to offer. I wanted stewed chicken soup but they were out of chicken, so I decided on the goat soup, but they were out of goat. As a result, anything that consisted of chicken or goat on the menu, I was unable to order it because they did not have it in stock. #RedFlag! I wanted Jollof rice with chicken but I ended up ordering just plain Jollof rice. The Jollof rice was very delicious. I enjoyed it thoroughly but would have enjoyed it more with the chicken. Overall, this was just an okay experience for me. The ambience of the place was extremely dead. There was no music playing and no one dining inside. It was almost as if they were going out of business; absolutely no liveliness about the place at all! The customer service was okay. The vibe I was feeling was a negative energy so I don't think I will ever go back. I'll just have to make a long trip one Saturday and try Cafe Abuja on westheimer because I truly love Nigerian cuisine. I used to eat it all the time as a kid because my uncle-in-law is from Nigeria and he could make the best Nigerian goat soup and fish soup! OMG! But, anyway I gave this establishment three stars. They need to tighten up on some things. I hope they get it together one day. Asé and Blessings to them!"

"Named after the 80s band The Hunan League, I felt like this West African (yes I said West African) food was calling out to me, singing, "don't you want me, baby?" I kept feeling fascination at the sound of the food calling to me, and I responded "tell me when" I can eat this food. And then I did.The last thing I expected from this place named Hunan Cafe was to find West African food, and this at a place that was clearly originally specializing Regional Chinese food.Barbi reminded me that we ate here moons ago when they were actually a Chinese place. They used to do it pretty well as well, and she even said they were one of her favourites, but now they make top-notch African food, and there's not a lot of great African places available around here, especially up here on the North side of the suburbs, but this is one of them.Woodlands, Spring, Cypress and Tomball in particular have very little African food, but if you want some good authentic stuff, you can come here. I know that's a little weird considering the name, but that's what you'll get here and it's really really tasty and affordable.Patties (Empanadas), Pepper Soup, and all the favourites. West African food that sounds totally Chinese. What could be more Houstonian."

I went with her and her mom (it's their favorite spot) and it sort of felt like her mom and the waitress were grumpily interacting and neither wanted to be there. Anyways, luckily the food is pretty good. I really like my egusi and according to my partner and her mom their erikaikon stew (which seems hard to find) is also very good. The best moment was when i approached the counter to look for the bathroom and was stopped in my tracks by a nearly shouted "what do you want" before i sheepishly said "bathroom" and they said "near the door." fun stuff!"

"I left my house to go to Human Cafe for some Jollof rice and they were closed and I remembered I passed this place, Omalicha's Kitchen the week before. So to satisfy my craving I went here. The service was nice and the lady up front was very sweet and accommodating. I got Jollof with goat and it was bussin, slappin or what ever you wasn't to call it. The meat was super tender and I ate the whole plate. They also keep it super clean and presentable inside the restaurant. I told her I normally go to Hunan and she said I would be a regular there and she's probably right, there were people who just got off the plane and came straight there."

"Oooooooh sweet mother of pearl! I stumbled on a gem today! Afrikiko is on fire (though the door was open so it was kinda chilly)!!!!From the minute I walked in, I knew that the odds would most likely be in my favor. First of all there are two huge portraits of the female proprietess and her husband flanking the cash register, in full Asante regalia. Which totally made me feel like I was in someone's living room looking at their mantle, versus at a restaurant. But it added a touch of culture and a huge sense of pride.There was a older man waiting for food, staring at the big screen tv, DANCING to the music. This is a great sign! Do you know how good this food is about to be, because I do, if it makes Papa DANCE!!! Oh yeah, I was getting excited.There was a fridge stocked FULL TO THE BRIM and spilling over onto the floor of every soda, both American and African, plus several types of beer. To me this read as "yup, you gone be thirsty after this FIYAHHHHHH"! And they weren't wrong!My food came out piping hot, relatively quickly, and paired with warm water for hand washing! Not every African restaurant is this traditional, so I again, knew it was about to go down!!!!!I would get into a lengthy description of the groundnut soup but that would waste more of your time reading, instead of driving, STRAIGHT TO Afrikiko!!! I will say that the side of spinach that I requested was so smooth and tomatoey and robust with flavor, that I was thoroughly surprised. I was expecting just a side of sautéed spinach, maybe a bit of onion or garlic, but that damn spinach was soooooo good I almost licked the bowl.If I could give 10 stars I would! This place will make me drive from Dallas yall! And you should too! Worth every single penny I spent!Thanks Afrikiko!"

"I really enjoyed my experience of getting delicious Nigerian food to go at Abuja Cafe! I came here on the good word of a friend and was not disappointed at all!I'd like to mention that it is bright and so clean on the inside! Very inviting! The young lady and the gentleman 1/25/22 were very pleasant and patient!I ordered my favorite jollof rice with plantains. It came with two pieces of meat so I got dry fried chicken, which means without red stew. I don't care for stew on my meat. It comes with a container of smoky and spicy greens- the most delicious that I've had in Houston. I also ordered a side order of plantains which came with a whole lot and was too much for me but that's definitely not a complaint! I share!I will say that the jollof was delicious! It just needed to be a little hotter in spice and I'm used to Nigerian fried chicken being much drier, and well, a little more tough. I know it doesn't make sense to the usual fried chicken connoisseur but I'm used to a delicious fight with my Nigerian fried chicken. Oh well, it was very tasty though!They have meat pies and scotch eggs. Neither of which I like but they are well liked among others and I would encourage other diners to enjoy.They have water, juices, soft drinks, and beer galore. I was impressed with their assortment of beverages. I shall return to this lovely restaurant!"
