SELMA'S AFRICAN CUISINE — Restaurant in City of Albany

Looks like an excellent authentic place for African food. So decided to stop by for lunch. Cosy little place mostly for take out. And I love a local authentic little hidden gem. So i got the okra soup everyone is raving about with beef. However I was quite disappointed by it. The flavor is great. Portion is decent but it isn't that cheap give that everything is $20. I was expecting soft meat falling off the bone, or at least el dente. But instead I got hunks of impossible to chew pieces. After cutting into small bites it's manageable but the tendons and fatty bits are very tough. Maybe the chicken would've been better but can't say I'm impressed. The Okra soup also got quite a bit of tough fibrous bits, but it's probably hard to get quality okra this time of year. So just hey ready for some serious rounds of post...

The name is Selma but it feels like Sankofa. The prices are out of this world for the portions and I’ll be back time and time again. Not to mention everyone greeted wish so much warmth and love....

Their okra stew and banku is soooooo good ! The lady who works there is also a sweetheart ! Will definitely be back ! They’ve gained a customer ! Prices are also...
