had the pleasure of dining at Baisels African Kitchen (Home Cho) in Riveria Beach, and I must say it was an incredible experience. As a lover of West African food, I was thrilled to discover that this is the only restaurant in Palm Beach County offering 100% authentic West African cuisine.
While there are other great restaurants in the area, Baisels African Kitchen stands out because of its unwavering dedication to West African flavors and dishes. It's a relief to know that if one place is closed or sold out, I can always rely on this restaurant to satisfy my cravings for West African delicacies.
The fact that the restaurant is currently operating from a home due to licensing matters after the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic doesn't diminish the quality of the food or service in any way. In fact, it adds a cozy and intimate atmosphere to the dining experience.
The service at Baisels African Kitchen is truly commendable. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and attentive. They go out of their way to ensure a pleasant dining experience, and the service is quick and efficient.
If you're planning to order the fish dish, I recommend calling ahead as it takes about 40 minutes to prepare. Trust me, it's worth the wait and the call ahead ensures you don't miss out on this delightful treat.
Overall, Baisels African Kitchen is a gem for anyone who appreciates West African cuisine. The flavors are rich, the portions are generous, and the authenticity of the dishes is truly impressive. I could eat my cultural food every day, and this restaurant provides that opportunity. Don't miss the chance to try their fantastic offerings if you're in the area.
P.S: Please ensure to check the current licensing status and location updates of the restaurant before visiting, as circumstances may have changed since the time of...
Read moreI wanted Authentic African food. I think I found it. Tucked away in Riviera Beach. I googled and Waalaa! Omg! I had them twice(before I post) and it's consistent. They don't mix meats unless asked. Which I like. I had Egusi and fufu (1 meal), Jollof rice with chicken(2nd meal) it comes with a simple side salad(lettuce,carrot, onion)refresh the pallet and a sauce and dressing. It is so good and its not overly salty, and not full of hot spice. The only thing its in a home. I know! But I get it, some of the best cooks are inside a home. Brick and mortar are very expensive to create and operate. If you don't mind pre-ordering and taking a drive I highly suggest it. I call in advance, place my order and it usually takes about 25 mins to prepare and ready..I say 30 minutes(for impatient people). Really nice gentleman will bring the order out to your car once you arrive. Now, when you pick up go, pick up and try to mind your own business(area). You can look but not judge. The area isn't so great, but what can one do about that when that's what they can afford. We can either help the situation (without taking over) or leave it alone and allow it to do what it do ya ya ya(Beyoncè voice..lol). We do not judge...unless you can 1st help(without taking over). I wish more people would understand this. Especially being none of us are raised the same. Anywho! I'll post the pictures. Try them. We love it. Dang I forgot to take a picture of the Jollof and chicken. I'll order again and add later......to...
Read moreI recently had the pleasure of trying this African business, and it was such a great experience! It was my first time trying fufu with egusi soup, and I can honestly say the flavors blew me away. I chose the lamb for my soup, and it was packed with so much flavor — absolutely delicious! In fact, I loved it so much that I’m ordering again today.
As for the fufu, it was my first time trying it, and while I know it’s traditionally made with a very neutral flavor and sticky texture, it just wasn’t for me personally. I’m more of a texture person, and the texture of fufu isn’t really my cup of tea. That being said, when dipped into the egusi soup, it absorbed all the rich flavor beautifully and made the experience authentic and enjoyable.
Also, don’t be alarmed when you pull up — the pick-up is right in front of a house (that’s what Home Cho is!). Just act like you’re picking up food from your uncle’s house, and remember: the best foods are made at home.
Overall, I highly recommend giving this place a try, especially if you want to explore new flavors and experience authentic African cuisine. I’ll definitely be coming back — this time with egusi soup and...
