African Restaurants near Highland Park, NJ

“I saw so many people talking about a lady called Mrs Kathy clarke on facebook, and kept wondering if she is really an expert trader like they say and not a scammer like the others, then i contacted her and i was shocked and amazed that with just $500 i invested,Kathy clarke helped me managed my account and after 7 days of trading, i made my first withdrawal of $6200. I can't keep this to myself with the COVID19 PANDEMIC the world is facing now.“

“Great food and great service! The location is tucked in a food court area so make sure to walk all the way back or you will miss it! Was craving peanut stew with fufu and much enjoyed this location! The jollof rice and chicken was also a fantastic recommendation by the business owner!“

“Just in case I missed the stars 5 for me!“

“Best Ethiopian cuisine in New Jersey and one of our favorite restaurants. The food is amazing and we can never get enough. Family-style eating at its best. We especially love the beef and lamb dishes, and the veggies are awesome, especially the collard greens. Highly recommended.“

“Halal peri peri chicken. How can I not go visit? This place is absolutely amazing. Exceeded all of my expectations. The restaurant itself has a prayer mat and a corner if anyone wants to go pray or meditate. They also have plenty of seats and the staff goes out of their way to make sure you feel welcomed. Now for the food. The chicken is so juicy and tender, and the sauce they use is simply delicious. Their fries are on another level. We got the fusion fries and the peri peri fries. Also if you get their chicken then be sure to get a side of rice. The rice and chicken pair really well together. Also I love that even if you get the full chicken they give you the option to choose white only (breast and wing) or dark only (leg and thigh) meat. Just a disclaimer for those who don't handle spice well: their hot is hot, and I have a pretty high tolerance for spice. So maybe get medium and ask for the hot sauce on the side.“

“While waiting for our son’s tournament to end, we decided to get some Nigerian food and it was a great decision.So let’s start with the warm welcome from a server who was already waiting on another family……Thankfully, the same server (Buchi) ended up waiting our table.Buchi was pleasant, great to converse with and gave suggestions too. I settled on amala with gbegiri and ewedu with goat meat. My husband went for amala with efo riro and fresh fish.Our meals were delicious, not too spicy and best of all, the sodium levels were perfect. It’s hard eating out without the food being overly seasoned. It tasted just like home cooking and not mass production.The environment was neat and clean. We ordered jollof rice, fried plantain with chicken to go and our son thought it was tasty as well. I’ll definitely return whenever in the area.“

“5 Loaves African Restaurant truly offers some insight on the diversity that can be found in Central New Jersey. Within the general area of where Franklin Township and North Brunswick meet, you will find a vast selection of Indian cuisines that rivals almost any other state or region of the United States. Amongst these restaurants, along the Route 27 corridor, the 5 Loaves Restaurant does a great job at showcasing African cuisine.Almost hidden within the plaza itself, 5 Loaves African Restaurant is a great find and a great culinary exploration for your palate. Located on the south/westbound, Franklin side of Route 27, the establishment is very unassuming and requires a keen eye to be able to identify.The restaurant offers both dine-in and take-out options, while accepting cash and credit cards as forms of payment. The restaurant appears very humble and homely (British definition thereof) - just a restaurant that really welcomes you and your family. The staff was more than friendly, patient, and helpful to us as we figured out what we wanted to eat. Having very little previous experience with African cuisine (the last time we had African cuisine was in San Jose, California), the staff offered some small samples of their popular choices which ultimately helped us with our decision-making.The food was extremely flavorful and just bursting with all the spices used in its conception. We were offered a taste in the three distinguishable soups which were all good, but ultimately went with the spicy peanut-butter based soup (the spicy palmnut). This paired extremely well with side of white rice we ordered, along with the chicken, goat, and oxtail that were added to the soup, along with a unique serving of Fufu.Meanwhile, the staff were extremely friendly and customized a meal combo for our children which they gobbled up despite the rice and chicken having a spicy kick to it.Overall, 5 Loaves is a great dining choice that establishes itself as a stable of this area.“
