First time eating here, we came for the food food. It was delicious got my entire family our own individual meals , Even though the portions are a really good size, we wanted to try Uber rioting things because we couldn't pick cause it all looked are good. And after we ate it we were glad we did. We tried the medium sauce purchased it. It was so delicious and I love and it have fish inside. We will definitely be back, and I told my family about it already.Kid-friendliness: Recommended an incredible dish for my daughter. She loved it, enjoyed the Corn bread as well.

A true hidden gem. I was looking for something to eat and took a gamble on this spot and it paid off big time. The oxtail and Fufu were great. I intended to enjoy the meal when I got home but made the mistake of sampling the food while in the car. That led to a change of plans. The oxtails were cooked and seasoned PERFECTLY. I consumed my whole meal while in the car so focused on the food I almost forgot about the crazy sauce they sold there. It's named THE SAUCE, that name alone speaks volumes. That sauce is the biz. I got the mild and it was a perfect blend of heat and pepper. I will be heading back there tomorrow to sample a couple more items on the menu.

This is my second time coming here this week, and I’ll be back again next week so you know the food is amazing! It took me too long to try Liberian food, I couldn’t believe how delicious it is.. I’ve been missing out! I’m always looking to try different African restaurants in the bay and I’m glad I came here. I recommend the palm butter and the potato greens. Try them you’ll love it! I look forward to trying everything on the menu. They also have plantain fufu which i was very happy about because most African spots only have pounded yam.Oh and the sauce!! The sauce is so good it LITERALLY goes with everything. It’s super tasty & kinda spicy so grab a jar while you’re there. The owner Dougie is so pleasant & welcoming, and the service is quick!

Me and my cousins were looking for a place to get fufu. One of the restaurants that we were planning to go to was closed on Sunday, but Thank God we found out Kendejah Restaurant was open! It was my first time having Liberian food and I was not disappointed. As soon as we walked in, Dougie gave us a sample of “The Sauce”, and I knew I had to bring one home to NY. All orders are take out, but we were lucky to sit at the table outside the restaurant. We couldn’t wait to eat that I couldn’t get decent pictures of our dishes. We ordered the oxtail stew, okra, the collard greens with chicken and plantains. It was my first time trying fufu and I enjoyed it. I am not a fan of okra because i’m a texture person, but the okra we got COMPLETELY changed my mind. I would order it again, especially the oxtail. Everything was delicious, you have to try it yourself.

Only takeout. Called in and ordered 15-20 min ahead of time and oxtails were amazing. Portion was pretty big so I saved some for dinner. I’ll have to go back another day and try the sauce everyone’s been raving about.
