"If you haven’t tried African Food Palace, you’re missing out! The food is bursting with flavors. Lady C passion shines through in every dish. I love the plantains! The service is just as fantastic—Lady c and her team make you feel super comfortable. For amazing food and heartfelt hospitality, African Food Palace is a must-visit. Keep shining! Bonus, they are also super involved in the community which I really appreciate and respect."

"HORRIBLE! AS A REVIEWER WITH OVER 540K VIEWS. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO NOBODY AT ALL. THIS IS THE WORST REVIEW IVE EVER HAD TO MAKE. I SHOULD HAVE CHOSEN MC DONALDS OVER THIS PLACE. AS I WENT IN I NOTICED VARIOUS POTS OF FOOD UNCOVERED ON A STOVE. I ALREADY CALLED AHEAD AND PLACED MY ORDER. I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED TO SEE THE FOOD NOT COVERED. AS IM STILL WAITING IM GROSSED OUT TO WHERE I LITERALLY LOSE MY APETITE. FLIES WERE FLYING ALL AROUND THE RESTAURANT, I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT ABOUT THE UNCOVERED FOOD. I DID NOT SEE ONE PERSON COOKING FOOD AT ALL. NO STEAM ARRISING NOBODY COOKED IN MY FACE I CAN DEFINITELY SAY THAT. THE FOOD IS ALREADY COOKED AND THEY JUST MAKE THE PLATES AND HEAT IT NACK UP. I ORDERES BEEF STEW WITH JOLLOF RICE. WHEN I GOT MY ORDER I WAS SO SHOCKED AND FRUSTRATED TO SEE ONLY 3 VERY SMALL PIECES OF MET AND A WHOLE BUNCH OF RICE. MY PLATE COSTED ALMOST $20 DOLLARS. THIS IS HORRIBLE AND RICE IS CHEAP! DONT GO TO THIS PLACE ITS JUST A WASTE OF MONEY COMPLETELY. THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT SHOULD BE VISITING THIS PLACE! THE MEAT WAS VERY TOUGH AND HARD TO CHEW. THIS PLACE NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN AND IN VERY INSULTING TO REAL AFRICAN RESTAURANTS."

"The service staff members are very kind, the service is great, and the food is awesome but a bit pricey. The place is not much of a dine-in place... it's definitely more of a place for take-out or delivery! Must try the Beans & Plantains Dinner, Egusi, or Jollef Rice! Street parking is not that bad most of the time."
