“So I was in Staten Island and craving African food. This place had great google reviews... I had to try it myself, stop in ask questions, and try it!!! Mona is the life line and you can taste her passion in her food... she cooks from her heart and wants everyone to experience her craft. The spice literally has flavor!“

“I’m not too familiar with African food, but I tasted food from other spots. This restaurant food is so tasty I almost bite off 5 of my fingers. The food always put me to sleep , I am impressed that it’s a Black owned business. I’ve also been in the restaurant for after hour events Live Dj , the Drinks are extremely strong and I wouldn’t have it no other. I always stop by for good quality Nigerian Food. This place introduced me to Nigerian cuisine.Dietary restrictions: If you will fall asleep after every meal“
“I love this place so much. Me and my Yoruba husband just got married last year and we couldn’t find a Nigerian place to eat. We found this gem of a place and we are so blessed. I am trying to learn Yoruba and she even offered to teach me. So sweet.“
“I’m from NY and recently moved to NJ. Where I live in NJ there’s not much African stores so I normally just go to NY when I need something. Today I was in the union area to pick up something from Lowe’s and decided to looked up African stores near me and came across this store. The store is neat, clean, and very organized. There’s a broad selection and was able to find what I was looking for. Also they provided excellent customer service.“
“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.“
“As a Naija love love my Ghanaian cooking but there is one problem - garden city will test your patience with waiting time. Called union shop 10 times no pick up. Yelp said they open at 10am. I gave dem 2hrs 15min. Drove to the Union restaurant at 12:15. The door was lock. God help us. Call!!!!! For another 5 times no answer. Had to take my money somewhere else.“
“I'm pleased I happened upon this place by accident! The cuisine is much better, and the vibe is incredible. I should also mention how friendly the owner is. I'll let you all taste it through the picture; this has to be the best suya I've ever had.“
“I wish i could give this spot more than 5 stars, the customer service is top tier Mona and her grand daughter are sweet hearts. They are such a pleasure to visit while getting food, had such a good atmosphere and such a homey feeling. Your definitely welcomed with open arms. The food is to die for. The j*** chciken is better than the what i had in Jamaica. I have no complaints and will definitely be back! Thank you guys, me and nikki love u!“
