RED ROOM LOUNGE by Mr Soul / Mr Soul Bistro & Cafe / REDROOM LOUNGE BUFORD HIGHWAY — Restaurant in Chamblee

Contrary to the name of this place, ABSOLUTELY NO "soul food" is sold here.

The first and foremost thing I noticed here was an EXTREMELY awful smell!

I tried to eat outside of the box and try "African cuisine" so maybe that's a thing with that particular type of eatery or perhaps it was the smell from the tripe they sell here .

Anyways the food was EXTREMELY AWFUL not to mention very expensive. For 3 sides and an Entree I spent over 50$, and waited 40 min for a togo order even though the place was empty the entire time we were there , which was around 1030 at night . I had the beef patty, plantains and rice. That was 33$ for some reason.. my gf had something called joffe rice, was sliced meat of some kind with rice.... Food was hella dry and old and to be honest it seemed like it was someone's leftovers that they boxed up instead of our to go order, my gf ate a good bit of the rice since the meat was dry and flavorless.

Whilst eating she bit into something hard and discovered that there were many toothpicks under the rice which was weird considering the meat was already sliced and nothing was skewered in her dish,soooo upon seeing that, starving or not she had had enough. I got home and decided to eat my "beef patty" and found out that someone had already seemingly taken a bite of it !!! Disgusting!!!

When I called you to the restaurant to speak to a manager, I was out on hold. After waiting nearly 20min on hold, someone hung up on me .. I called back 3x no answer, waited an hour and called again..

AGAIN I was put on hold, after 10min I hung up and called back, someone picked up the line and when explaining what happened, the girl was laughing and having a convo with someone else . . When I asked to speak to the manager yet again.... AGAIN I was hung up on!!! Rude!!!

AVOID this place at all cost nothing about this place was appealing... besides it being the only place open late that wasn't "fast food".

This was my first attempt at So called African food and I'm def not a fan. Will NEVER come...

Visiting Atlanta had always been on my bucket list, and what better time to do so than on my birthday? As a result, on September 4, 2022, I decided to book a one-hour flight from Missouri to Atlanta on the weekend of my birthday. And it was in Atlanta, Georgia, that I discovered Mr. Soul Bistro and Cafe, located at 3253 Buford Highway Suite 770 in Atlanta, Georgia 30329, USA, which is close to Peachtree Creek, a significant stream in Atlanta. It flows almost due west for 7.5 miles (12.1 km) into the Chattahoochee River just south of Vinings.

Mr. Soul Bistro and Cafe has been described as an authentic African restaurant serving the best Nigerian cuisine. and providing a genuine African experience by combining the flavors of Africa with a vibrant environment and great music, all of which have been proven to be true and more. Starting with the "taste," the restaurant offers a wide range of dishes from south-western Nigeria to the north, including efo riro (not as delicious as mom's, but close), isi ewu, and a very spicy pepper soup that I thoroughly enjoyed (but my sister seems to think differently).

Moving on to the nightlife, they had the best playlist, ranging from afrobeat to highlife, combined with a great ambiance and first-rate reception and customer service, and I never want to leave. It also draws a large number of Nigerian celebrities. As a result, your chances of running into Burna Boy are quite high. Hence, if you ever find yourself in Atlanta and looking for some fun experiences, be sure to stop by Mr. Soul Bistro and Cafe and enjoy all of...

I put it to you that all the positive reviews here are fake. If I could give zero or negative stars, I would.

Went to this establishment on a saturday night at 10pm. Firstly, all the waitstaff were laying down on the couches at the back of the restaurant. Like one literally took our order, put it in the kitchen, and then went back to lay down IN PLAIN SIGHT of us paying customers lol.

I ordered the spicy grilled turkey and my friend ordered peppered snails. The portions were abysmal (see attached photos). My spicy peppered turkey was $17(tax included) and my friend's peppered snail was $22(tax included). To make matters worse, snail on the menu was listed as $15. When we asked about the price difference of $7, she said that was the old price from the "old menu". THIS RESTAURANT HAS ONLY BEEN OPEN FOR
