First time ordering from Mama G African Restaurant based on the reviews on Uber Eats and Google, and I must say I was highly disappointed. I spent almost $150 on this order. Everything I ate, except the yam and egg sauce, was bland. Their foods are expensive and small portioned. The peppered ponmo, peppered meat, and Gizdodo were tough and chewy. They also had no flavor, and the rest is history!. I will not order from this place again!.

I went to this restaurant today and upon entering the facility, you can see traveling luggages on the right floor for some reasons??? and then I was not so pleasant with the overwhelming BAD smell right from the door, furthermore I have been received by a lady who was nothing but pleasant or patient as I was asking her questions and making changes to my order to get what I really wanted! she had all kind of attitude rolling her eyes speaking very slow to make me understand that she will not change her position or her point, i think that’s a huge problem in the African Caribbean food industry, they are more focus on getting the customer’s money instead of making sure the customer is satisfied, come back again and bring more people in order for the business to thrive and grow! I think cleaning is one issue in this facility that MUST be address ASAP!!! The STOVE top (That customers can see from where you order your food) had food debris all over it also, the cooking pots were open in the kitchen!!! I mean, there’s so much to say! Also, they had a bunch of people eating at the back of the restaurant speaking super loud like they were in the living room or something, I guess they were family member or regulars of the restaurant, but this is so unfortunate for the image of they “restaurant” this is not professional at all!!! Customer service and cleaning ARE fundamentals in the FOOD Industry. bottom line is I end up not getting the food as it was more expensive that what are usually paid for fufu and sauce…Plus, the whole shenanigans threw me off… I just did not want to bother having this food into my body with the bad energy that came with it… this place need serious improvement maybe putting some nice candle to eliminate the smell and re-organizing the sitting area would be a great idea to start; Also, Luggage does not belong in a restaurant!!! Let’s hold ourselves to higher standards in order to grow as an community. Also, a smile does not cost much but goes a long way… I will not be going back to this place or recommending it to anybody at least not as long as it is like that. I hope those observations are constructive and not offensive, all the best.

Best jollof rice I’ve ever had. I haven’t in a while, but I’ve been ordering jollof here for months. Always made the same and so good. I don’t like to go anywhere else unless it’s Sunday and they are closed. They never miss with the jollof.

I ordered first from Uber eats, and the food was good , got ogbonor and ayemase. The ogbono was well seasoned , however the ayamase did not have proteins like other ones I have eaten or made. Their meat pie is also good. I ordered half tray of jollof rice and it was good and well seasoned , tasted just like a jollof rice , their restaurant is specious.

I tasted the food once, and ever since, it's been my favorite African food spot.

Food was good but their customer service sucks towards American women.They really need to get it together because they will loose business. Those African women need to get it together I came to support and I've sent other American women and they give nothing but attitude!!!!!

They are so stingy with their food and it’s not seasoned well. I ordered on Uber eats and I am highly upset at the 3 pieces of meat for $22. If you want to order go in person!!!
