This was my first time visiting the establishment. Upon arrival, the cashier was engaged in a loud conversation with someone in the kitchen, but I chose to wait patiently for my order. When it came time to pay, she told me the total was $43, and I was prepared to pay that amount. However, I noticed that she had mistakenly entered $0.43 into the system.
I tried to bring the error to her attention, but I’m not sure if there was a language barrier. Instead of acknowledging the mistake calmly, she responded in French, telling me not to give her a headache and insisting the total was correct. After a brief argument, she finally realized and corrected the error. Still, rather than apologizing for her unnecessary comment or behavior, she ignored me completely.
Many people in my situation might have just paid the incorrect amount and walked away, but I chose to be honest. Unfortunately, I was met with rudeness and poor customer service. Because of this experience, I will not be returning.

Really delicious food, very fresh, very tasty. Great ginger juice. Peanut soup is more like a fragrant lamb curry. Fried tilapia was crispy and excellent (lots of bones!) and plantains were prefect. Owner was extremely friendly.

Stay away from this place.
First of all the place had a very bad smell, it was so bad that I had to wait for my food outside.
I ordered the whole fried chicken, jollof rice and some other stuff. They gave me an old refried chicken, with some missing parts.
Don’t even bother asking for a refund, a replacement or a manager (she’s the rudest person I’ve ever met).
This was a complete waste of money, I threw the chicken in the garbage.

BURKINA FASO
Excerpt from Eat the World NYC:
As reported on two years ago, the cuisine of Burkina Faso is not new to Newark, New Jersey. The past five years have also seen two other Burkinabé sources of food open as well a bit further south. The first, in the back of a grocery that has expanded on Lyons Avenue has remained unfortunately elusive in finding the right time to visit, while the other is a full scale restaurant that has dedicated hours and plenty of seats and tables.
The more you settle into Burkindi, the friendlier it becomes, as the food translates to smiles across your face and the staff and other Burkinabé patrons keep asking “Did you like our food?” There is of course only one answer to this question, but thankfully it is no lie. The food is delicious, and as it always is, this will be the easiest part of life to share with folks you may not have anything else in common with.
What other nearby nations call jollof rice, the delicious riz gras on this order is plated with dibi ($15), whole chunks of grilled lamb with minimal seasoning. Here at Burkindi they rely much less on the mustard and vinegar-infused onion sauce that is usually heaped on the meat and instead serve it with a mild mustard on the side. The darker sauce in the rear is delicious but all fire and should be used with caution.

this was my first time ever experiencing African food, I had Okra ; white rice & debie , Ill start by saying this meal is amaazzzingggggg . My friend recommended this place & it was really good, when I went back by myself one day whoever was cooking was rude as hell , I almost didnt come back but I was craving it. I went back just to give it one last shot & im so happy I did because I come here almost once a week. The woman i spoken with on this encounter was real cool & helpful. I havent tried anything else on their menu but the Okra & white rice , TOP TIER . OMG THE BEST PART IS , THEIR SOOOOO AFFORDABLE & YOU GET ALOT OF FOOD. I love it there .

The food was exceedingly M’eh! However, the service was exceptional. The flavor is very basic, totally lacking any seasoning or flavor development.
