Love this place best African food I ever had literally addicted lolParking: 20Kid-friendliness: Music n environment kid friendly
One stop Restaurant HANDS DOWN! It's an hidden gem so thank me later; The service I received here is Above and beyond. I normally don't leave a Google review but OlaTee African Cafe deserves this and more. I tried their swallow today, Abulá also known as (Amala) it was Freshly made, no lumps, & it has the perfect texture with Delicious flavor from the stew and I was totally blown away by Satisfaction i got from my meal. The last time I had such an amazing Amala was in Lagos Nigeria.Kid-friendliness: Lots of families comes in here with their kids and satisfy their cravings.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair access is next to the entrance.

Please note I ordered delivery from this restaurant. I did not eat at the restaurant. I wanted an elderly relative from out of town to Sample African food and I purchased Egusi Soup and FuFu and Jollof Rice with beef and Efo Riro. The verdict. The food was excellent. It was flavored well and had the right spice. It was made fresh. Everything was delicious. Only CON. The only con I would have was regarding the Egusi. These people have the Egusi literally submerged in Palm Oil. I've never seen such a large amount of oil sitting on top of the Egusi as I did when I ordered it for the second day straight. Also, the portion sizes from the first day I ordered the Egusi to the second day were way different. It frustrated me so much my relative advised me never to order again from the restaurant. The Portion sizes need to be consistent especially when someone is paying over $20 for their meal. The man answering the phone was helpful throughout my ordering however on this issue he was a bit dismissive. He told me they put two spoonfuls of egusi in the bowl but I definitely recieved much less the second day. I have pictures so you can see.

This is the first we ever got to try African food, and Sean was very helpful! He visited with us and made recommendations. The fish is incredible! The yam porridge is very tasty. My wimpy Minnesota palette found food here I could eat, and my spice loving eldest loved the spicier stuff. We plan to come back as soon as possible to bring my husband, who also likes spiciness. Very glad this place is here! We plan on coming back!
Jollof rice is excellent, great place if you like spicy food, Shaun will let you sample stuffDietary restrictions: Plenty of options for people with wheat, corn, and seafood allergies

Please go somewhere else for African Food. One star for the clean bathrooms. This place serves food cafeteria food style,l. Walked in yesterday, with two people in front of me, the only gentleman working there seem to forget there were two people still waiting to be served, he continued to socialize with the customer at the register for almost 5 mins after she paid for her food. When he got to me he was very short and not friendly. I got the half order of jollof rice and half beef price. Only two pieces of beef that were later tough and fatty and he charged me $5.50 for two ladles of stew! Will never be back. Way better quality African food restaurants.
The best!The food is top notch and the Jollof rice is to die for !The owners are very lovely too. Staff very friendly.A nice place to try proper Nigerian meals.
I and my family decided to go have lunch on Sunday thank God we decided to try African dish so my sister suggested ola teeAs soon as we got there from the atmosphere to the service to the food mog my kids were so happyThe food is soooo delicious omggggggg from the suya to the snails to the food down to the chin chin everything was on point the jellof rice infact everyone needs to go have the experience I bet you will come back for moreIt's a must try

Not a fan of fufu it was my first time but the soup and goat was great. Wish they have gave more portions of the goat meat at end of day.
