Princess African Cuisine is an absolute gem in Kentwood! I ordered the jollof rice, egusi stew with goat meat, fufu, Puff Puff, and two different types of fried fish one of them being red snapper. Everything was absolutely delicious! The jollof rice was flavorful and perfectly seasoned, the egusi stew was hearty and comforting, and the goat meat was tender. The fufu paired beautifully with the dishes, and both fried fish options were crispy on the outside while moist and flavorful inside.
The Puff Puff was a real treat light, fluffy, and slightly sweet, the perfect way to round out the meal. I also loved the pepper sauce, which comes in both super spicy and non-spiced versions, giving you just the right amount of heat depending on your preference. The plantains were cooked perfectly, with a soft texture and a touch of natural sweetness, and I enjoyed a refreshing drink that tied it all together.
What makes this restaurant even more special is the owner and her beautiful family, who are from Liberia and bring a true West African flair to every dish. Itâs authentic, welcoming, and full of love in every bite.
Princess African Cuisine is located on Kalamazoo and 44th (1710 44th Street, Kentwood, MI), and itâs a must-visit for anyone who loves bold, authentic flavors or wants to experience West African cuisine....

She helped me figure out what on the menu was a safe place to start for a whiter than white kid who can't handle spice, lol!
