“ Late share, as this happened on Thursday night. Had salmon and jollof rice. Both were amazing! Salmon was cooked very well and was delicious. Jollof rice was probably as close to what I had in Ghana as I've tasted so far since being back stateside, so I'm absolutely thrilled about that. Certainly a recommend and I fully intend to return in the future. ”
“ An absolute 10/10. The customer service was excellent, as well as the food. The owner was extremely attentive and made sure my friend and I were taken care of. I ordered some red snapper, with a side of rice, and some plantain. I will definitely be coming back. ”
“ I absolutely adore this place have been coming here for years with my husband. It’s a very small quaint shop. The customer service is always great. They make sure to give my kids a candy and a juice which is really nice of them even though they don’t have to the oxtail is a 10 out of 10 never misses. It’s always flavorful and tender and the sauce you can eat with the rice by itself, we also always get potato greens as my husband likes to call them and they are delicious too spicy for me, but that’s just my taste. Also, their extra hot sauce is amazing though I can’t handle it . This is a place I would always recommend it’s not overpriced. The food is fantastic. ”
“ My colleagues and I recently had the pleasure of visiting African Small Pot for the first time and everybody left with a smile. We had many different items from the menu (variety of fish, chicken, rice, greens, etc.) and everything was truly so delicious and flavorful! The entire staff including the chef and the owner were very welcoming and accommodating to us, as we were a large group. We are incredibly grateful! See you again soon! ”
“ I 100% recommend! The food was amazing, as it really was savory and the portions for the price at which it was given is amazing; I had to freeze the leftover food for a week. As I am west african, other African restaurants I have went to were not as good as African Small Pot. Hands down amazing! I loved the dine-in experience as I went with a group of people, it was really nice. The price all the way up to the serving of the food and service was truly nice.
