9JA FLAVOR BY SESSYKS — Restaurant in Summerville

This is a long overdue review for the excellent service and food Sessyk's provided for a Catered Wedding.

My, then, fiancé and I had been trying to find reputable West African catering in the Savannah GA area for our culturally mixed wedding, but with no luck we expanded our search to the Charleston SC area and stumbled upon Sessyks. We reached out and started an inquiry about catering and received prompt responses and information. The whole process from there on out was an absolute breeze, even though we were coordinating virtually across different states. Kevin and Sessy were the epitome of professionals throughout the whole process, and they were also gracious enough to host us at a very warmly personalized in person tasting event for the entire family in Summerville to finalize the menu selections. What we appreciated the most was their patience in dealing with the parents and their "specific" requests for menu items and changes, even when some of those requests were being made very late towards the day of the event.

In addition, while the original agreement was only for a drop off service for the wedding (i.e. we would have our own separate servers), the team graciously offered to stay throughout the event to assist in making sure things went smoothly for no extra charge. It was honestly great having them at the wedding, as they were instrumental in making sure the bride and groom (myself and now wife) got a chance to eat some of the delicious food throughout the busy day.

The food itself was absolutely on point, as all our guests noted. From the basic staples like Jollof Rice, Beef Suya (my personal favorite) Puff-Puff and fried Plantains, to the more specialty dishes like pounded yam, egusi stew and Moi-moi, there wasn't a single dish that wasn't a hit with our guests, and, we knew this going into the event from our experience at the tasting. They even worked to ensure myself and my wife got a chance to enjoy the delicious food in our few moments of respite from all the reception reception activities (dances, visiting tables and thanking guests, photos etc.) including saving some delicious suya for me before it ran out.

For how great everything was, I'm embarrassed to only realize that we never submitted a review for such outstanding service, but it's better late than never. All in all, we can't say enough how much we appreciate the service, and we fully recommend SessyK's to anyone looking for quality Nigerian/ West African food and/or Catering in the SC/GA coastal region! 10/10, 5 stars...

My family are BIG FOODIES, and We tried Several African dishes from this restaurant... We ordered the following dishes (Egusi, Suya & Plantains, fried Fish & the Whole grilled fish, Jollof Rice, Seafood Okra, FuFu and a container of pepper sauce). It was delivered to us extremely hot... I had a 2 hour drive home in a thunderstorm.... Upon arriving home... You guest it.... Our food was still hot enough to eat... It was packaged 📦Perfectly... Great sealed containers (Hey, they are reusable too... My daughteris big on using her resources wisely)... and it was very neat. The experience was indeed a blessed experience for our family. The owners was very professional and had great patience (I didn't know how to say the dishes I wanted, nor did I know exactly what I wanted, ... It was our first time.... They helped me) So if you are big on customer service... you will Not be disappointed! I'm glad I randomly chose this place & Got to experience African Food...... The ONLY down fall to this was..... We was sooo hungry, my daughter forgot to make a review video, and The restaurant is too far from us.... 😆🤣😂 we are 2 hrs plus.... away... and well out of delivery range. I GUESS WE WILL BE TRAVELING BACK TO GET SOME MORE, as well as try to experience other African Dishes we missed this go round.I hope each of you, reading these reviews would be blessed with the SAME awesome experience we had....

After some research I decided to try this amazing place out. I was visiting from out of town so I text them to see where they were located and how I could place an order. They promptly replied and sent directions. I ordered the Jollof rice with goat meat, egusi soup with chicken and one with beef, fufu came with both , fried plantains and 2 mango juices. Before arrival I received a text saying that my order was ready! Once my daughter and I arrived, we were greeted and welcomed by Mrs Sessy! She has an AMAZING Spirit and made us feel at home and told us to be seated although the restaurant was takeout only. She brought our food with some silverware and told us to try the food before leaving because she saw my baby girl’s excitement to try the food! When I tell you she exceeded my expectations!!! 10/10 highly recommend!!! I never leave reviews and am big on customer service and experience and she exceeded in all aspects. As a business owner myself, I am picky! lol. So please visit this hidden gem! I pray nothing but increase expansion and abundance over this place! Thank you Sessy for your amazing hospitality. We will definitely...
