African Queen Cuisine — Restaurant in Richmond

stopped by on my way home and the owners were so sweet! i got a little bit of everything for me and my mom bc i’d never had congolese food nor african food before in general. the food was made super fresh and it’s SO good (i’m eating as i’m typing lol). the beef is so tender in the beef stew, the plantains taste like candy, the jollof is so well seasoned and delicious, the fufu and egusi made my mom the happiest lady on earth and the cassava tastes like heaven. everything is absolutely delicious and i can’t wait...

Food is horrible!!! Egusi soup is disgusting, the meat in the egusi is hard like it's old. Fufu was terrible. I cook my own egusi and fufu all the time and I have no idea what this mess is that they're serving people. The jollof rice omg never again! Who puts lima beans in jollof? Wasn't smoky and flavorless. I'm not sure how they call this place queen anything. Nothing queen, african or cuisine about this place. Close immediately and never re open. Or hire me...

I stopped at the food truck spot for some Jamaican but it had shut down. So I gave this place a try instead. I was hesitant at first because I had never had this cuisine but so glad I did! I got the beef stew, it was so flavorful with an excellent hot sauce on the side and was a very large portion. They also threw a free waffle cookie in with my meal. Definitely...
