0 out of 10 do not reccomend! My 1st time and absolutely horrible experience due to POOR customer service. Noone greets you when you walk in. Sat at a table for 5 minutes, noone ever said may I help you or address me as a customer. I get up walk on the other side, then there's a woman with an attitude barking for me to come around to the other side. Bow I'm asking question about the menu (1st time customer) & she has an attitude explaining wat the items are.. smfh if u didn't want 2 come 2 work 2day. U shouldve stayed home!!! Needless to say I'll be waiting until tomorrow when the other african cuisine spot up the block opens.. smfh

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 ordered jollof rice with dibi, and attieke with grilled fish. Hands down the best african food i have had so far. It is a bit expensive but it is very worth it. Will absolutely buy again!!!

Like sunspots, there's a rare Uber Eats phenomenon when holiday closures lead to an expanded radius of availability, which led to the Burkindi discovery. The "picked for you" section was correct (does anyone know if they're using personal algorithms or just highlighting popular items?), recommending dibi with riz gras.There's some spice on the lamb itself, with flavors augmented by two green sauces, one of which was massively spicy. I also liked the tomato and onion sauce on the rice.

I come here often to pick up my order for work. Yesterday after work I came here to take food home, but this time it took too long to pick up the order and I missed my bus(9((

Stay away from this place.First of all the place had a very bad smell, it was so bad that I had to wait for my food outside.I ordered the whole fried chicken, jollof rice and some other stuff. They gave me an old refried chicken, with some missing parts.Don't even bother asking for a refund, a replacement or a manager (she's the rudest person I've ever met).This was a complete waste of money, I threw the chicken in the garbage.

Great tasting west-african food. We ordered catering of jollof rice for a large party and the food was ready on time.

They don't listen when you ask for extra sauce. Then after repeatedly asking they say it's a dollar each (EXTREMELY SMALL AMOUNT no exaggeration). The food is great other than that. UPDATE!!! They now charge 2$ for a pinch of sauce, they only have 3 items on the menu THE OKRA, if they don't have the okra they only have the spinach and the goat meat and the fried chicken. Very limited but they do give a decent amount of food and they are usually only nice to their kind, I don't go as often as I use to.. maybe every 5/6 months. I don't like the disrespect, the lack of listening and the blatant racism

I love this food! Prices are affordable instead of make you broke.

Delicious authentic food! The best so far I've tried in other places in NJ and Harlem NYC. Very clean inside. Halal meat. Friendly and fast service which is very unusual for African restaurants))))).Dibi and Arachide (peanut butter soup) with fufu is the best dish in the menu, must try with spicy sauce!!!!!. We went there on Sunday evening, it was pretty quiet there and had the whole feast! They cooked very fast and server was very friendly. Surprised they didn't open the place in Harlem yet! Definitely would be successful there!
