Calabash African Kitchen

Food is amazing! The best goat pepper I had! Snapper was scrumptious! First time ever having oxtail soup and don’t know how I have lived without it. We also had the chicken empanadas but wasn’t able to get a picture before we dug in. They were so good! Drinks are amazing! I highly recommend the Lemon Sip! The Royal Flush and Sideways Baobab were also delicious. Wonderful service!

The food arrived cold. The chicken was burned, unseasoned, and appeared to be very low-quality cuts with barely any meat on the bones. The Egusi was the worst I’ve ever had, and the fufu was also served cold. Nothing tasted fresh or properly prepared. The service made the experience worse. Staff repeatedly checked on other tables but never once came to ask how we were doing. The attitude made it feel as though we were inconveniencing them. It was noticeable that certain groups of customers were given more attention and care than others, which did not feel welcoming or professional. The female staff were mean including the owner her husband older white male was the only nice person only communicate with him if you encounter a problem. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this place.

I've heard so much about Calabash from friends and I finally got to go over the weekend! What an amazing experience! From the time we sat down, we were greeted with smiles and love like we were at home with family! Our primary server Nyla was AMAZING - above and beyond in her kindness, service and just being an awesome human being. It was also wonderful to see the Manager Nene out on the floor and she was wonderful, sitting down to speak with us. Now, on to the food and drinks. The Senegambian Iced Tea mixed with the Ginger Pineapple was top notch (thanks for the rec Nyla). I had the Yassa Red Snapper (grilled) with plantain and my friend the lamb and jollof which were also delish! Highly recommended! I can't wait to go back!
