Modupe African & American Restaurant

When conducting business, customer service and integrity are crucial to me. Having dealt with many Nigerian businesses, I’ve found that integrity and customer service is often lacking; however, Modupe is a remarkable exception. Her customer service is A+. I recently ordered from her restaurant through Grubhub twice, but for some reason, the order was canceled both times. Instead of letting it go, she took the initiative to ask for my address and delivered the food to my house herself—unbelievable! As a business owner, I know that is truly going the extra mile. I just want to say thank you so much for your incredible service!

Ordered via uber eat, I got Efo Elegusi and poundo, it was well seasoned . The poundo was not too hard, meat was eat to eat , and the stew was not spicy. So, really good ear overall.

Wanted authentic African cuisine and looked up the great reviews from this location; place was small but very cute and extremely clean as well as well maintained, the owners were friendly and took time to explain all dishes,prices and recommended certain dishes as it was my first time there. Ordered the chicken and also the fish with the famous FUFU that everyone recommends ...IT WAS DELICIOUS and the fufu was soft and bouncy but was spicy my daughter recommends it but less spicy my son-in-law loved it ....HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE IF YOU LOVE AUTHENTIC AFRICAN CUISINE AND IF NOT ITS A DEFINITELY A MUST EXPERIENCE TO TRY...

Very fresh food and authentic Nigerian food. Fufu is very fresh and fluffy. The owner Modupe is very helpful with suggestions on what to try if you never tried it before. This is a great place that you must try and it’s a gem in Newark! I loved the fried sweet plantains bc they were perfectly ripe and soft and sweet. She takes very careful care to make the food top notch. Parking is free on the street.

The fufu with fish was great, my boyfriend got the jollof with mixed meat and that was delicious as well. On top of that the woman who took our order was super sweet and enthusiastic about how good the food would be. Definitely coming back❤️
