This was my first time here, and I must say that food was amazing! From the starter to hookah, drinks, and the main dish! 10/10 . I ordered mock tails for my drink and it was good! First time trying the Fufo or Eguis soup, chefs kiss! Made to perfection with the right touch of spices! Not to mention the price was VERY REASONABLE. Vibe was cool as well ! Please check them out, ask for BLONDIE when you go, try something different. African food for the win!

Food is AMAZING, customer service is AMAZING, I will come back again and again. The meatpies are phenomenal, and the soups are incredible. African taste is affordable, and perfect for lunch. African taste is the Nigerian restaurant that Georgia has always needed.

The food was great and very spicy! Come eat here for some good quick quality African food. We ordered the Afang Soup and Ayamase (with the egg) very spicy.

Today was my first time at this restaurant, and it was an amazing experience. I'd been searching for an authentic place to try egusi soup for the first time, and the reviews caught my attention—they were spot on. The food was fresh and incredibly delicious. The staff was friendly and pleasant, answering all my many questions. Thank you for a fantastic birthday lunch!

Food here is made with care and love. The cuts of meats are unique and full of flavor. Different textures make each bite special and keeps your mouth moving. The music is fun and energetic. Staff is super friendly and helpful. If you ever watched Andrew Zimmern or Anthony Bourdain and wanted to try some African food from their shows then this is the place to go.

Went here with my friend while staying in ATL first time here and I purchased quite a few meals to give a proper review. My friend is non-Nigerian so her favorite was surprisingly Afang 10/10 which was also my favorite and the fried fish. My favorite so far was the suya 10/10 - the suya pepper mix is the same as my favorite lagos suya pepper mix. My next favorite was the Banga soup 7/10 as well as the fried fish. Egusi and Jollof 6/10 was okay. Meatpie was a 4/10. Overall when I'm in GA again I would definitely get the Afang, Suya and Banga Soup with pounded yam.

This place is incredible!! Highly recommend it to anyone. My boyfriend and I tried this place for the first time and I was blown away by it. The service was wonderful, the atmosphere is so cute, and the food is phenomenal. It was my boyfriend’s first time having any kind of African food and he loved it. We got the red stew with rice and goat, egusi soup, plantains, and pounded yam. I was personally blown away by how flavorful and spicy the stew was (I love all things spicy!). My boyfriend was a big fan of the egusi soup. I would recommend this to anyone looking to try something new as the staff is very kind and answers any questions you may have. This tasted pretty authentic to food I had eaten in various parts of Africa so if you’re looking for an authentic experience, this place is perfect for that as well!
