Was driving into town and saw this place, always been curious of African cuisine so I decided to give it a try, went ahead and got the egusi soup with chicken and the fufu and oh boy did I fall in love with it. Definitely won't be my last time coming here loved the food and the service was quick the nice lady that gave me me food showed it to me before purchasing which was a very nice touch the price was really cheap considering the amount and flavor of the food. The inside is really nice also definitely has a "calming & relaxing" type of vibe or maybe it's just me.

Service was nice, it took about 16 minutes or so for the food to come out. I was shown everything I ordered before paying which was appreciated. I ordered the palm soup with beef and yam fufu and fried sweet plantains. I ordered it to go and felt everything tasted good. The portions are slightly small, for the soup at least. There was good flavor and I'd come back. Might not dine in as the restaurant was playing loud music but it's great to know there's west African cuisine that's fairly close to my workplace.

We visited Houston and knew they had a Nigerian population so we checked Yelp and Unique came up nearby with good reviews. We walk in and I think made the waiter nervous. Two Latinas coming in to an African place might be unique to them but we love some good fufu and stew. My teen daughter is very picky but absolutely loved the lamb and plantains. And she hates bananas but these plantains were gold. The waiter fumbled around and dropped a few things lol. Poor guy. We just wanted some good African cuisine. He asked if I liked spicy but I know they lay it on hot hot so I asked for it on the side and I was right. It was flaming hot spice. The decor was unimpressive but the giant tv had some dope AfroBeats music videos. We do hope to go back. We were stuffed and happy.

Excellent west African/cote d'ivorien cuisine. Casual ambience. Takes some time to prepare but food was freshly done. Halal too.

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.

I drove around this restaurant many times and have always wanted to try it, frankly I was a little intimidated to go inside because I didn't know what I wanted but Eugene was at the front and greeted me so kindly! I listed the flavors that I really liked and he walked me through it all including all the questions that I had. I ended up getting a palmnut based soup with lamb and beef as my protein and of course with the yam fufu on the side! It was packed with flavor. I recommend getting two orders of the fufu yams because it is a lot of soup. Or, you could add an order of the jollof rice. Unfortunately they did run out and I came at 8:00PM! which just means that the jollof rice is amazing. I will definitely be coming back for their nice hospitality and jam packed with flavored food! I'd like to note that fufu does take a long time to make, I waited about 20-25 minutes very eagerly but it was worth the while. I would suggest placing an order over the phone ahead of time!
