Immy's African Cuisine

I came to Immy's after a long pleasant walk north up the river and was ravenous for some good food. I actually found out about this place from a reddit forum about great food in Milwaukee, and they were spot on with this recommendation! Based on the flags in the restaurant they serve food from Uganda and Kenya. You order and pay at the counter, where they have all the menu items in chafing dishes for you to choose from. There is a fair amount of seating in the restaurant and you can choose your spot freely once you've ordered and paid and gotten your food. I split my entree into half spicy beef egusi and half cassava leaf chicken, and got a side of jollof rice. It was really hard to decide, though, because everything looks so good. Just a note that while they do serve everything in takeout containers, they do pack it up slightly differently if you tell them you're eating in vs taking out. Everything was absolutely delicious. I love egusi and this was a great one with tender beef. It was not noticeably spicy to me, so don't be scared off by the "spicy" in the name. The cassava leaf chicken was also incredibly rich, and I like that they use skin on chicken thigh which ensures the meat is tender and adds to the unctuousness of the sauce. Jollof rice was also awesome. Portions are generous, and I don't think I would have been able to finish everything had I not just walked over an hour to get to the restaurant. Definitely a must visit in Milwaukee.

This was my new restaurant of the week and a bookmark for awhile. The 5th star isn't given out by me loosely because it's reserved for an absolute top notch experience. I stopped over for lunch around noon to find them not open until 3 pm. The woman from the Facebook page who I assume is the owner opened the door and was totally willing to make me the food that I drove over for 3 hours before they opened for making the drive, thank you for being so nice to me.The decor is modern and fresh looking with black and red tables. I ordered the curry goat, turkey sambusa and jolof rice that comes with an amazing sauce for the sambusa that was so good. The turkey sambusa was so delicious with a crispy shell and soft center. The jolof rice was fu#king delicious with nice heat and flavor. The curry bone in goat was also amazing with great flavor and tender pieces of goat. The food isn't seasoned with salts but it's depth of flavors from all the spices is absolutely delicious. It's got the depth of flavor like Indian food is how to describe it but in a different flavorful way.Overall the food and service is amazing and this has been the best restaurant I have been to in a while. This will definitely make my list of known go to great places but I wish it wasn't so far away. Great job, you knocked it out of the park today.

Immy's African Cuisine has some of the best food in Milwaukee. It's flavorful, the meat is very tender, and the staff are welcoming. I like that the menu has a wide variety of items to choose from. I have yet to try anything I didn't like. I also appreciate the specials they have on the board near the counter. If you decide to dine in, the restaurant is pretty quiet and they play African music in the background for a smooth ambiance. I highly recommend you check them out!

The first two time the food was great but we went before 5 PM the third time we made it there at 7:47 the food was off. It wasn't really good but I'm willing to give this spot another chance.Servers are kind that was a plus we will be back Samosas ,Spicy Beef Egusi, Smoked Jerk Chicken, Jollof Rice, Fufu & White rice

I have been meaning to try fufu for a while now. I was ecstatic to find a new local spot that offered fufu as well as numerous other authentic dishes. I ordered three meat entrees, fufu, and jollof rice. Everything was spiced well and the portions of meat were generous. I was very satisfied with my first experience of trying fufu, and I can't wait to to try more items. African food is varied and delicious. If haven't had a chance to try it, you're missing out! For a hearty taste of African food, try Immy's.

I had a taste for African food today. When I entered the restaurant, I immediately saw the fufu, which was served fresh and soft. I ordered the egusi chicken and cassava chicken, which was absolutely delicious! The meat dishes has just the right amount of spices. The meal was filling and I was not able to finish all of it. The servers were friendly, patient and helpful. Seating was available for those who wanted to eat inside and outside. The restaurant was clean, had great music and was nicely decorated.

First time here and I will definitely be back. I ordered the Chicken Egusi, Curry Goat, Jollof Rice, Plantains, Chapati and Fufu. Everything was delicious. The only thing I wasn't a big fan of was the fufu. The texture was a bit different for me. I also had a taste of the Jerk Chicken, which was spicy but not too overpowering. For dessert we had the cinnamon roll, it was freshly made and huge! I wanna point out that this place was decorated sooooooo cute. The ambience was definitely great, it made me feel I was actually out of the country. And let me end my review with the service, it was spectacular. The two young men taking our orders at the counter were more than helpful and they smiled the whole time while answering our questions. Keep up the great customer service guys!

The food is out of this world!!!!Everything on the menu is so delicious if I could eat this for the rest of my life I would I highly recommend the jolof rice it has a little kick to it but it hits the spot.

Amazing food and customer service. This my second time this month. I ordered the coconut curry today with Joloff rice. Sooooo Good.

I ordered through online service early around 11am. My order wouldn't be ready till 4pm and that worked for me. I received my order on time and I'm grateful for my driver patience.( my location was confusing). I ordered spicy beef egusi, goat curry, Jollof rice and fufu. To get to the point, I enough everything. My least favorite was the beef egusi. I think it's because eastern and western African egusi is different. I enjoy western African egusi. I got care for rice but the Jollof rice was so flavorful. The goat was tender and seasoned well. I love fufu and it was made to perfection. I will try more items next visit.
