“Tried this cornbread in Newark. I must say the food was fresh and very tasty. The workers were friendly and they all did a great job. After visiting the Maplewood store I was turned off because the service and food in Maplewood was horrible. But with a lot of convenseing from my daughter in love. I tried the one in Newark and am very please with portion size and freshness. I will return when I back down in Newark again.“

“This was my first time at Kings and it won’t be my last. I ordered takeout earlier today and Angela was so friendly and welcoming. I’ve never had smothered turkey chops before. They were UH-MAZE-ING!!! The catfish was nicely seasoned and the fried chicken was crispy and juicy. The potato salad was the best I’ve ever had except for my mama’s. And I can’t stop eating that pineapple coconut cake.“

“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 went with a diverse party of 10 and we were treated like we were at home. Excellent halal soul food, felt like down home southern cooking. I don't think there's a place representing soul food culture like this in Philadelphia or New York City. Staff and owner were extremely warm and accommodating. Generous and tasty portions. Highly recommend.“
