Inside of Olatee Cafe Love the layout and culture all around. Very clean and nice staff,
Trying different foods
Efo Riro with Chicken and more Egusi. The. Efo was very good. The Egusi was drowned in Palm Oil. Not good. Smaller Portion too.
Beef was fatty and tough. The beef to the left is after I took all of the fat off the meat to atleast get something edible.
Pineapple Ginger Juice
Jollof Rice with Chicken
Egusi. This was the portion the first day I ordered which was considerably more than the next days portion.
Extra sauce. He charged me $5.50 for a 5oz this isn't 5 oz worth of sauce.
Piece of tile
Jollof Rice with beef and Plaintains. It was excellent. Very Very good.
Chicken, Jollof Rice, Spinach, and Plantain.
DONT GET THE SOUP!!! Found a piece of floor tile in my soup I was literally disgusted how does this even happen?

Food quantities are minuscule for the size. Give people the quantity of food comparable to the amount that they're paying.

Please go somewhere else for African Food. One star for the clean bathrooms. This place serves food cafeteria food style,l. Walked in yesterday, with two people in front of me, the only gentleman working there seem to forget there were two people still waiting to be served, he continued to socialize with the customer at the register for almost 5 mins after she paid for her food. When he got to me he was very short and not friendly. I got the half order of jollof rice and half beef price. Only two pieces of beef that were later tough and fatty and he charged me $5.50 for two ladles of stew! Will never be back. Way better quality African food restaurants.

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!

My first time having African food and when I tell you this food is fire I mean that this food is FIREEEEE!!!! Of course I got the egusi soup, fufu, jollof rice and for my meats I got chicken and beef! The food was so flavorful and I enjoyed it so much that I can definitely see myself craving it! Although everything that I had was delicious my favorite thing was the egusi and fufu. I seriously can't wait to go back! I'm really happy that my friend visiting introduced me to African food and especially to this spot in particular!

One of my new favorite places. The staff was absolutely lovely and gave recommendations. The food was fire!!!!! When I tell you this place was hitting the mark, it was in all the good ways. Flavor, portion size, amazing staff, clean restaurant and awesome price. I gave a bigger tip because I would have paid double for that food! Highly recommend

Please note I ordered delivery from this restaurant. I did not eat at the restaurant. I wanted an elderly relative from out of town to Sample African food and I purchased Egusi Soup and FuFu and Jollof Rice with beef and Efo Riro. The verdict. The food was excellent. It was flavored well and had the right spice. It was made fresh. Everything was delicious. Only CON.The only con I would have was regarding the Egusi. These people have the Egusi literally submerged in Palm Oil. I've never seen such a large amount of oil sitting on top of the Egusi as I did when I ordered it for the second day straight. Also, the portion sizes from the first day I ordered the Egusi to the second day were way different. It frustrated me so much my relative advised me never to order again from the restaurant. The Portion sizes need to be consistent especially when someone is paying over $20 for their meal. The man answering the phone was helpful throughout my ordering however on this issue he was a bit dismissive. He told me they put two spoonfuls of egusi in the bowl but I definitely recieved much less the second day. I have pictures so you can see.

Food: I informed my waiter that it was my first time visiting their restaurant. He came out with a little sampler for me and OMG, everything was so good! It was difficult to decide what I wanted. I went ahead and ordered Chicken, Jollof Rice, Spinach, Plantain, and ginger/pineapple juice. The chicken was a little tough but seasoned perfectly. I can drink the juice every single day.Service: Since it was my first time visiting OlaTee African Cafe, I didn't know what to expect. I did Google the restaurant an made a reservation a half an hour a before my arrival. According to what I found on Google, a reservation needed to be made. I arrived and waited for a bit and I quickly realized a reservation was not needed. I seated myself before my waiter approached me. He was initially attentive and thorough. The attention dropped off later on but no big deal.Atmosphere: The restaurant is beautiful, clean, and spacious. There was music playing which I absolutely loved (not too loud and not too low). I almost jumped out of my chair to dance until I remembered I was in pain, lol
