If you’re not looking, you might just miss it. In the city of Troy is the Seasoning House. African cuisine. The food is out of this world. Very well seasoned and packed of flavor. It’s like going over someone’s house and being served right out of their kitchen. Such a good atmosphere. Great service with a smile. Everything I’ve had here has been a home run. They also have a fun little game where if you stop the clock at 10 seconds you get a free meal.

The food lacked in flavor, dibi/lamb was tough and dry. The chicken legs was bigger than my hand. Jolloff rice is not supposed to have can mixed veggies in it.Rice seemed like it was made days ago some of it was crunchy. I spent $45 and was extremely disappointed. I pray they revamp the flavors and menu. Esthetically the place is beautiful and the customer service great. I’ve eaten at several African restaurants from all regions and this restaurant is not authentic in taste. I was hesitant to post this as I want this restaurant to flourish I hope this is constructive.

The restaurant was clean with beautiful, colorful images on the walls. The food was well-seasoned and delicious with a nice presentation. We also enjoyed the tasty, healthy beverages. The service was kind. Finally, the bathroom waa sizeable and clean. We’ll definitely return!

I ordered the peanut stew and fufu for takeout. The peanut stew had fall apart melt in your mouth meat on the bone in it. The peanut was more savory, and not like it was full of peanut butter. Very umami. It was so good I went to the restaurant to have it again 2 weeks later. I did do some research on how to eat with fufu. Highly recommend the fufu, it was so good! Also loved the plantains and the ribs. I had the homemeade juice and that was great also. The table next to us had driven hours to get here just to eat and this restaurant, order food for the whole weekend, and go home again if that tells you something. The owner used to have a location near where they lived but moved to Troy recently. This restaurant is now in my favorites list for sure! (I forgot to take a picture of the peanut stew and fufu because I got too excited and just dove in.)

I’ve both dined in and ordered delivery from this restaurant, and every time the food has been fresh and absolutely delicious. Customer service is consistently excellent. The owners are very kind and genuinely care about making sure customers are happy.
One small suggestion: the spicy sauce served with the tilapia is a bit too small in portion. That said, I appreciate that they also sell large jars of their sauces separately. It’s a great option to have at home.
Overall, this place is a gem. 10/10, highly recommend

We love The Seasoning House. All the food we’ve had there is excellent, and we’ve had pretty much everything on the menu at this point. Raissa and Matthieu are the nicest people you could ever meet, and are always careful about dealing with my wife’s multiple food allergies. I encourage everyone to give them a try. You will be doing yourself a favor if you do.

This appears to be a family-owned establishment, and the owners and staff are very welcoming. They create a comfortable environment for customers and clearly make an effort to provide a positive dining experience. The fish dishes, in particular, were excellent and well-prepared.
Unfortunately, during my visits, a significant portion of the menu was unavailable due to missing ingredients—at times leaving only a small percentage of items available to order. While I understand that supply challenges can occur, frequent menu limitations can make it difficult for customers to plan their meals or fully enjoy what the restaurant has to offer.
Suggestions for improvement:
• Consider updating the menu regularly to reflect only currently available items.
• Provide customers with a daily or weekly availability list upon arrival.
• Explore inventory or supply chain adjustments to help maintain consistency across core menu offerings.
With improved menu availability, this restaurant has the potential to deliver an even stronger and more reliable dining experience.

First, the green sauce is delicious! The kids liked the fresh juice too. One had the lamb chops and enjoyed it very much. For me, I drove an hour to eat here and woild not go out of my way again. The rice and couscous was cold. My vegetarian daughter wanted the okra soup but they were out so she really could only eat rice. The restaurant was actually really cold and there was one server for the entire dining room- at least one more server would have been nice. More vegetarian options would be appreciated.

My husband and I visited The Seasoning House while out for glow night and decided to check out this new spot, as it was previously a different restaurant. The space was clean, well-decorated, with good background music, and two TVs, one of which was set up more as a monitor.
Our waitress was welcoming and attentive, and the food came out quickly. We enjoyed the spring rolls, and the fried chicken had a smoky flavor—possibly from a fry-then-grill approach. However, the jerk chicken didn’t quite meet my spice expectations, and the jollof rice seemed a bit dry or possibly not as fresh as I’d hoped.
I’d love to give them another try, but with so many options in the area, it might be a while before I return. Wishing them all the best in establishing themselves in the community!

My partner & I recently came here for a date night dinner and thoroughly enjoyed everything we ate. We were the only ones there on an early Saturday evening, so were greeted and seated right away and didn’t have to wait too long for the food. The server was exceedingly kind. The art, music, and decor inside the restaurant was beautiful. The food was absolutely incredible. We ordered jollof rice with chicken, beef skewer, waakye (which came with fried fish), fried plantains, and the chicken wings. The skewer and wings came with a delicious sauce (have no idea what was in it). Everything tasted freshly prepared, well-seasoned, hot, and prepared with love. Admittedly, the style on how some of the dishes were prepared is slightly than what I had been accustomed to relative to Ghanaian cuisine (for example, I’ve always had waakye where the fish was cooked IN with the rice and stew and beans, never separately), but I thoroughly enjoyed it all the same, also understanding the owners are from Ivory Coast (not Ghana). The portion size was also VERY generous relative to the price. I personally thanked the owner/chef for blessing us with her amazing cooking. Truthfully with food this good, I was shocked this place was as empty as it was. We look forward to MANY trips back!
