Ecowas Kitchen (Amala Junction) — Restaurant in New York

After waiting 20 mins for my order, I went to the counter and they had forgotten my order. I should've left but I really wanted to try African food. Waited another 30 mins. and started eating some crackers when the food finally came out but I wasn't hungry anymore. Paid $15 for yam and chicken. Went back to the office and the yams were okay but the chicken...the chicken was soo rubbery that I couldn't take a bite and the knife couldn't even cut it. Like is this even chicken? So I paid $15 for yams (which i would just buy at the store for $3) and rubber chicken. I would pay that for quality food but not for what I was served. Will never go here again and can't say that I would ever recommend anyone to eat here.

Hours later and I'm still upset because I'm hungry and wasted my money. If rubbery chicken is how Africans cook their chicken then no thanks, I'll stick to my stew and...

I saw some negative reviews, and the restaurant responded by saying, “God will reward.” Let’s be clear—customers don’t come from God. They come from good service, good food, and a solid reputation.

I ordered over $100 worth of food, but what was delivered was so tiny that I felt embarrassed, especially since I had a guest that day.

To make things worse, after placing my order, they called to ask for an additional $2 for goat meat—this was after I’d already spent over $100.

Yes, I do plan to visit the restaurant and share my experience with them directly.

In the restaurant business, good customer service and good food are essential. Relying on “God will reward” as a response to poor customer experiences, which cost people money and time, is not just unprofessional but also quite foolish.

Despite this, I’ll give them another chance and will be sure to share my next...

I absolutely loveeee okra soup and eat it all the time at my favorite restaurant in Connecticut (CT). Since I moved to Brooklyn I wanted a good place to go to so I was recommended by the African restaurant worker I go to in CT to come here. Finally made the time to go and food tasted great but portion size for the price is a joke. I believe the okra soup was 18$ with meat. As you can see from the photo, it was maybe a pot spoon amount of okra and the meat came with a bunch of oil on the top (I used two forks to show the amount/depth of food they gave me). I had high expectations just because of the recommendation but I will not be returning to get only a pot spoon of food for almost 20$. I’ll gladly wait when I have time to go back to CT or make it myself!

On a positive-ish note, the pepper soup was good and good portion. The meat was hard and could have used...
