Mama Shan's African and Soul Food Cuisine — Restaurant in Philadelphia

The man that took my order was very nice. The wait was long . I noticed people ordering and leaving to come back later and get their food. Ordering ahead is a good idea if you are a regular. I got jollof rice stew chicken and plantain. Puff puff and ginger juice. The puff was dry . I loved the jollof and the plantain. My issue was with the stew chicken. The sauce was delicious but I expected the chicken to be boneless and tender or with bones and tender. Instead it was fried chicken wings thrown in stew. Stewed meat should be tender and falling off the bone. Next time I will get salmon and stew without meat on the side. The place looked clean and I love that it is in north philly. Most African restaurants are in south west philly. Thank you for opening your restaurant in north philly! 😊 Days later.. i went back and ordered grilled chicken with tomato stew on the side and it was absolutely delicious . The chicken was tender the way it should be. I will say that the platters come with two sides. If you do not specify which two sides you want , they will choose for you. I did not like that. They should tell you what your choices are. But all in all I will be...

These people are scam artist. They tell you that they’re giving you red snapper and then give you tilapia. they also make you pay an extra fee for a large piece of red snapper and then turn around and give you a small piece of tilapia. or a small piece of red snapper, but this don’t look like red snapper to me at all. This is my order from yesterday and this is my order from today and I paid the same exact price. I ordered this the day before and paid the same amount. The proof is in the picture the. They do not take care of our customers and they are scam. Artists they try to get the most out of their book. This was supposed to be a large red snapper they even charge you extra two dollars for a large red snapper and I did not get a large red snapper even if it’s not tilapia it...

First, I ordered an $20 oxtail platter with jollof rice and collard greens. The platter only came with three oxtails and the jollof rice was disgusting, the second order was potato greens with white rice but I received nasty jollof rice instead all because the woman didn't write down my order. The potato greens were gross and had regular American Chicken in it. The third order barbecue jerk chicken, Mac and cheese, and collard greens, but once again they put jollof rice in the platter. Luckily they did tell us as we were walking out the door that they forgot the mac and cheese. The the three orders were $55 which isn't the problem the food tasted disgusting and the portions were seriously small. My night for take out was ruined!! They don't have good...
