Nyame Ye African Caribbean Restaurant — Restaurant in Mount Vernon

If I could give 0 stars I would give. Even negative stars smh. These people are very unprofessional and rude…I’ve ordered several times through Door Dash and there’s always an item or several missing. I've had to even get the Door Dash driver to go back there again to pick up a whole order of Waakye cos they did not give him all the items I ordered...

Sometimes too if they don’t have the item you ordered online instead of them calling you; they will replace it with something completely different. Other times too they will give u old food or the bottom of the rice. Really???

What took the cake for me was when I called to order on Saturday and I asked them for a drink that I normally get with my food…Because they always give me something else. I initially wanted to buy more than two. But, the guy said there's only one remaining so I asked him to keep the drink for me cos I would like to purchase it with a couple of items. He said he’s busy. To think I was going to spend more than $100 on items smhh…

They don’t know business or how to keep regular customers. Ive always been going back to them despite all their inconsistencies. And I always buy several items every time I order…Yet I’ve realized they won’t change…They've been doing the same things to people I know personally smmhh...So I’m done done with them. Will go to a different place where I will be treated...

Never again. I have given them multiple chances because of Uber Eats and there has been some sort of issue each time. Last time we ordered, we ordered jollof rice for my husband and I ordered banku with Tilapia. My husband was unable eat his jollof. Every time we have ordered waakye, the meat has been missing except the fish. Today, we ordered waakye for my husband and tuo zaafi for me…YALL! When I tell you the soup for the tuo zaafi made no sense…! I thought they accidentally added the wrong soup so I called and the lady had an attitude. On top of that, today too, my husbands waakye came with NO meat! Just fish. Even though when I called, she claimed they gave us other meat. They DID NOT. My husband just confirmed that today’s only came with fish! I’m from Ghana and so I would never speak negatively on a Ghanaian restaurant regardless but the attitude that lady gave me on the phone when I called about the soup was absolutely unacceptable! Y’all look at this soup that I attached to this review and tell me…WHEN have yall as Ghanains seen this soup being used to eat Tuo zaafi? Does this look like any type of ayoyo...

This establishment is a family affair, and the food has much love, and soul cooked into it. I always enjoy my experience with the owner, his wife, and daughter who are always so kind, and hospitable with everyone. There are always many repeat customers, because the food is fresh, they cook it when you order it, so be patient, and ready to wait a good 30 to 40 mins. I've been eating here for the past six years, and there has only been one time I've not enjoyed a dish (goat pepper soup, smelled very funky, couldn't get passed the smell). Palaver, Jolof, Fried Fish or Chicken, Gizzards, Banku, Fudu, Egusi, Red Red, the list goes on with all my favorites, and I recommend these dishes. My only negative comment about this place it the look of cleanliness, as the ambiance is dusty, and worn, with old table Cloths and decor, half of which is falling apart. Although it has nothing to do with the food, the restaurant should reflect the warm and caring attitude of the owners, and would have a more inviting appeal for new customers, who might not give it a try, just because of its...
