“I moved to Union, NJ from NYC (Harlem to be exact) and where I’m from there’s a variety of African food that’s so delicious so I was praying that my food would be the same. Thank you so much to the Chef, my Egusi with Fish and pounded Yam was so delicious! I will definitely be ordering from you guys again. Thank You, Thank You and Thank You???“
“My second time to this resturant and I will go again. Very good all the way around. Had a goat appetizer that was excellent. I had the vegetarian lentils and they were supper. Had the lamb chops for our main dish. Everything was cooked to perfection, but the lamb chops were definitely way too salty for us. I would recommend this restaurant it’s really good and when we go back again, we Will ask for way less salt on the lamb chops. Enjoy.Vegetarian options: I had the lentels. Very good.“
“If you are a fan of Nandos you will like this place! Dont get me wrong, it's not as good but if you want to save yourself the drive to DC. This is a great option. The fries were out of this world! Ask them to put the seasoned salt on them. The chicken had great flavor but i wish it wasn't just a sauce they put on top vs marinating it with it. The other thing that i noticed is you have to buy majority of the menu items separately, which i didn't like too much.“
“If you're looking for a unique dining experience that celebrates the rich tapestry of African cuisine, I highly recommend AMAT. Whether you're a seasoned explorer of African flavors or new to this culinary journey, you'll be treated to an unforgettable feast that will leave you longing to return. The owner is amazing and welcoming. Her food is truly amazing is ? all day everyday! Truly memorable!“
“If you are looking for a Ghanaian food that takes you straight to Ghana, it’s this place. The food was amazing and a lot. I will recommend this place. The Waakye, fufui,banku, tilapia and fried yams are amazing i almost forgot they have Jollof and other dishes as well.“
“For starters, let me just state that this was my first time ever eating African food. I had okra, white rice, and debie. This eatery was highly recommended by a friend, and it was delicious. However, the person cooking was really unpleasant when I returned alone one day, and I nearly decided not to return even though I was really craving it. I returned to give it one last try, and I'm glad I did because I visit this place nearly every week. The individual I interacted with during this interaction was really kind and supportive. I haven't tried anything else on the menu, but the white rice and okra combination is AMAZING. The best part is that there is a lot of food and it is quite reasonably priced.“
“I started visiting this restaurant about a year ago after trying every Nigerian restaurant in Newark and surrounding towns. My husband has an eclectic palate and so far most restaurants have been a miss. I bought the banga soup with the catfish head and it was soo good, it broke my heart to share it with my husband. After that I tried the edikidikang soup and it was a hit with my husband. I love the different soups every day..bitterleaf, egusi, vegetable is a hit with him too. We ordered jollof and fried rice for my baby shower. It is my go to for food now. I absolutely love the moi moi and akara. The staff recognize me and are very helpful and efficient. There is a sit down area but I do strictly takeout because I am always running errands. They close at 7pm and not open on weekends and I respect that because the food is always fresh.“
“I love coming to this place every time I visit Newark, New Jersey. The food reminds me of the motherland Nigeria. I love the fact they have special soups for everyday of the week…Mon-Fri and they all taste amazing. I do recommend their Efo-Riro you can never go wrong with that meal. And their Jollof Rice is practically the best Jollof in Newark. Don’t argue with me argue with your mother oooo. But sincerely if you want a good naija meal and you are in the Newark, NJ area stop by you won’t regret. ??“
“Wonderful experience. We had no idea what to order, so Modupe (the owner) surprised us. I only wish I could have eaten more! My daughter who can be picky was so happy with her shrimp and fries that she drew Modupe a picture. Highly recommend!!“
