Amala Joint Restaurant

I was very eager to try Amala joint for my fix of African food. The service was not bad but I came for the food not immaculate customer service but I smile or proper greeting would’ve been nice. The stew was great! Rice was fresh and my Agoyin was good too. The ONLY thing that ruined the $40 meal for me was the beef in my stew was tough as leather. Literally. It was extremely dried out and inedible. I was so disappointed to be served that after spending so much on my food. I hope this review brings some type of change to serving people old dried beef. If that wasn’t my experience I would have given the food a 5 star review. Please honor customers and serve them what you would want to be served.

The owner she was very nice. I got the ogusi soup, I could not really enjoy it because it was too hot and spicy. My wait time was about 15 minutes. If I'm back in the area I would go back and try a different dish.

Yess!!! 5 STARS ⭐️ I recently visited Amala Joint African Restaurant, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every dish tasted good we had ordered Amala and Ewedu spices were perfectly balanced. If you enjoy rich, traditional meals, this is the place to come. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Service was quick. I highly recommend this restaurant. I will definitely be coming back!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amala Joint is a true hidden gem! The egusi and okra stew are hands down the best I’ve had — rich, flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and made just right. You can taste the authenticity in every bite. The suya is also incredible — perfectly grilled with that bold, spicy kick that keeps you coming back for more. What really makes this place special is the owner. She’s such a lovely woman — truly mom-and-pop vibes. You can tell she makes every single meal with love and pride. The food feels homemade, comforting, and full of heart.
