Hands-down the best option for African food in all of Gwinnett. We are a 100% strict vegan family so upon moving to Atlanta a few years ago we were disappointed that we could not enjoy some of the west African food we grew up on because often times many traditional west African dishes contain some animal byproducts even if it appears to be a vegetable dish. This restaurant has changed that narrative by offering a separate 100% vegan menu of African dishes reimagined. The owner is incredibly nice and patient and will help you pick from their numerous menu offerings depending on what your palate is interested in.
“Disclaimer alert” we are vegan as I mentioned early in this review so we cannot speak to any menu item outside of the ones that are 100% vegan.
She offers every menu item in a pre-packaged to-go fashion so You can re-create the delicious dishes on the menu from the comfort of your home with easy to understand instructions.
I love that this restaurant also offers a Seamoss smoothie and you can purchase many other wellness items as well. So whether you’re palette enjoys traditional African dishes like goat meat or beef stew or you follow a “strict vegetarian” aka vegan lifestyle. The entire family can enjoy this Restaurant. We highly recommend the items in the photo posted if you are a first time visitor. Nothing that we tasted was overly spicy so that was a great thing but the flavors were still there for sure and it took us back to the motherland.
Please call ahead before you visit as she often times caters events so it’s best to call the restaurant number to verify her hours of operation the day you plan to visit.

I love this restaurant I go everytime I am in the stone mountain area! I always get the egusi with chicken quarters and white yam fufu. I also get her seamoss gel which is great quality! She is very nice and friendly everytime I go. I recommend her to anyone that wants to try Africa food I even posted her on my Facebook with her number so more people can try it and have it delivered to them!!

I order here all the time. I love the egusi soup with goat meat and pounded. Always extremely flavorful and portions are generous. I love Sheba as well the first couple of times I used door dash but since meeting her it’s my pleasure to go in and pick up. She is sweet and she gets to know her customers when she can. You can tell she has a passion for what she does. Hope she’s around forever! Oh yea and make sure you are prepared to pay when you order over the phone 😂 Sometimes ppl order and don’t pick up!

Was considering this place for a wedding catering but Absolutely not anymore. Read a review where they were clearly just giving their opinion on the food (Which is by definition what a review is) and saw that the owner said they liked WHITES more than BLACKS and continued to talk down on black people and they’re African. If you support black people, please don’t eat here. Please read the reviews and their feedback! You lose your blessings being negative.
P.S - If the owner replies back, please let her know that I’m not going to read her reply so she’ll be talking to herself, fighting the air 😂😂

Let me start by saying, Im still going to try the food Being I’ve never eaten here, I don’t know if the food is good or not. I check the reviews for any establishment that I eat at. But I’m disturbed, being a business owner myself, You absolutely can’t fight and name call anyone in a response. This owner instead of apologizing to make things right for reputation reasons, they take their time to individually attack those who have an opinion about their establishment. This is not the way to be, especially if you want new customers, whom many, are like me, who look at comments and reviews first, ESPECIALLY those on the owner. Please my sister, You have to have the right mindset before responding to people the way you do. This is not a review on your establishment, I will not do that to you. But merely a word of advice, to watch everything you say, remain positive always, even when you feel you’re being tested. I will update my review once I’ve eaten at the establishment.

This was so good I had to come back a second time. I want to say she’s the owner but she was just so sweet and funny when I came to pick up my order! I’ll definitely be back! The egusi is mouth watering good and the Jollof rice with fried plantains oh my goodness!

I absolutely love this place. The food has the right amount of spicy and the young lady greeted me with greatness. I also loved the fact that there was music playing. This will be my go to slot for my African cuisine. Egusi and Fufu and jersey wings were great!!!

I picked up an order for someone. There's a sign on the door to knock or call to pick up order. I had to wait for a few minutes as the food is cooked to order which means it's fresh and hot. That's two thumbs up for me. I liked that they offered vegan options and I noticed they had packaged "meals to go" in the refrigerator. They also have a variety of organic Sea Moss gel and powder. Awesome! 😊
