Halima Adan: I love their rice and chicken souqar. Best Somali/Kenyan food in the city!

Nicole Hale: Loved the sumbussa. I wished the menu was easier to see and understand. They were out of a few items on the menu.I requested spinach as a side and to make a long story short the spinach is NOT fresh. I was not comfortable paying $5 for a side of canned spinach.I am open to trying out the restaurant again and maybe I'll have a better experience than my first visit there

Jason Bendure: I decided to try this spot for a quick lunch and everything was perfect. The dining area is clean and the service is courteous and pleasant. There is a lot I don't know about West African cuisine and their ample menu means I will have to go back more often to try different dishes. I chose the Shrimp Kebab and Fried Spinach with Beef and knew when my food arrived it would be very good. Everything was made fresh with a range of flavors and spices that was complex without being fussy. My favorite thing about what I ordered was the chili sauce served with the shrimp. Amazing. I will be going back and taking friends and family with me as well. I hope this wonderful restaurant becomes a Kansas City favorite for years to come.

Byron Jordan: The Food was decent, but the lady that was taking orders was extremely rude!!!!, I'm Black American, and the African lady kept on asking who sent me or how did I hear about them to the point I had to call my African GF to let them know how I found out about them.. I've never been interrogated like this even by the police!??? I won't be spending another penny in there., Plus I had to wait 2 Hrs!!!!

Germain Farel Mba (GFM): Not my first time coming here. There's been a lot of improvement in customer service. I only waited for a little bit over 10 minutes for the food to be ready.

Brady Brady: We read other reviews first and either the issues have been resolved, or we came on a good night. We didn't have to wait long at all for our food, despite that it was obvious they were busy with carry-out orders. The service was perfect other than one slight issue when we received an appetizer, but no small plates for us to use. Likewise, the food was excellent, and unlike some complaints, the portions were huge (had to take leftovers home). We had fufu, okra with goat meat, and mackerel with rice and plantain. Some of the flavors were unlike anything we'd ever tasted, especially the rice. The ginger drink was great. We thought the prices were appropriate for what we received. We'll be back.

Kenneth Smith: I dined in I ordered the samosa as a starter followed by jollof with chicken, shrimp, and goat. Both were Amazing. OMG and the service was great. Staff very welcoming and accommodating.Dietary restrictions accommodated None of the above …More

LaTia Thomas: Egusi Soup with fufu was so tasty!!!! I love this place

Jay Medicated: Don’t go here. They will steal your money if you are requesting a refund. Please just take your money elsewhere! They will purposely mess up your food & not refund.

Ke Kei: Poor customer service, disrespectful towards customers. They refuse to refund customers money after intentionally messing up their order!

Carl Clark: The SAMBUSA was delicious. The sauce was flavorful but Spicy. They were very courteous and the place was clean. They have a store connected to the restaurant. I looked around in the store while I waited for my food. The Man running the store was very polite and showed me some of the products he had for sale.I will definitely go back for the Sambusa and to shop.

Stacie Simpson: This was my second visit. It is not for me. We had the peanut butter chicken it was just ok. We had the appetizer platter. The only item that was good was the samosas. The chicken skewers were extremely dry. The banger wasn't awful. The potatoes were bland. Absolutely no taste at all. I was expecting an explosion of seasoning in my mouth. That didn't happen. I also had the ginger pineapple juice it was spicy but good. I asked for a sprite to add to it, but she never brought it out. I had the fried plantains and ice cream, and it was ok if you like fried plantains. I won't be giving it a third chance.

Andrew Hill: I recently visited Taste of Africa, a locally-owned restaurant serving authentic African cuisine. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the friendly staff who were happy to offer food recommendations. The menu had a great variety of options, including vegetarian choices which was a big plus.We started with the appetizer sampler and it was outstanding! Each item was so flavorful and delicious, it made us even more excited to try the main courses. The food itself was well-seasoned and had amazing taste. We cannot wait to go back and try other dishes from the menu.The restaurant itself was very clean and well-maintained, including the bathroom which was spotless. The art decor added to the overall ambiance and made for a pleasant dining experience.Overall, I highly recommend Taste of Africa to anyone who is looking for authentic African cuisine. The friendly staff, great variety of options, and outstanding flavors make this restaurant a must-try. It was definitely worth the wait, and I am looking forward to my next visit.

Kay Shields: Ordered the peanut butter chicken, the chicken pilau, the goat pepper soup with fufu, and a few other items. Very delicious! My favorite was the pilau. It was a very comfortable setting with nice art and tables, the staff were incredibly kind and when asked what her favorite food was, the young lady serving us gave us a nice description of the meals. I would love to go back again and try other food next time. :) I suggest this restaurant to anyone. The plates were filling and the portion sizes were nice.

A Grunspan: I got carry out from here and I must say, it is delicious! I ordered the chicken stew, seasoned rice, sautéed cabbage and fufu. Everything was so good, I will definitely be ordering from here on a regular basis! The restaurant looked clean and the young lady working there was very sweet.

Gregory Ramirez: We used to eat here before pandemic. It was delicious then and still is now. We have tried several dishes and have been pleased. I would say, be prepared to wait. We are not sure if we went on an off day, but there was limited service help. The poor server did what she could but she definitely needed help with the full restaurant at the time. This will not deter us from returning though, the food is yummy.

Faith Wilkins: Everytime I stop in Overland Park Kansas to eat I am always pleased that I came to this establishment.The food is delicious and the ambience is amazing. The staff and owner are personable. I have been to this restaurant numerous times alone and with friends and every single time the service has been top notchTry them and you won't regret it.

Hannah s: My sister and I went for dine in and waited over an hour - in the end we just asked for it to go because they were about to close and we were tired. The portions were small for the price and the food was just ok. Don’t know if they were short staffed or something but if you go ask for an approximate wait so you don’t waste time.

Katie Stamer: Wanted to try something out of the norm, but now will be making this part of my regular rotation of restaurants for take out or eat in. Excellent service with knowledgeable staff and she gave great recommendations for what we ended up ordering. What a pleasant surprise and excellent, hot and stick-to-your-ribs good!Vegetarian options: We had the vegetarian sampler, the plantains and kale were excellent, as well as the vegetable samosas, crispy and freshly fried.Wheelchair accessibility: In a strip mall with ramps to the sidewalk and handicap parking available. Tables and booths available.Dietary restrictions: Vegan options also available.

Braylin Young: They wait an hour after placing my order to say they ran out of the meat I ordered. No worries, I make a substitute, then they cancel the entire order. Never wasting my money here again.UPDATE: they also lie! DoorDash DID contact me and I responded to have the meat substituted. But they just cancelled the entire order.

JENIFFER KARANJA: The food was amazing and the service was on point , very friendly staff.
