★★★★★ 5.0 Pamela D. · Feb 2026

Honestly The best kenkey I have ever had in the USA. It’s so soft and the pepper is the perfect level of spicy. The fish was also very well seasoned. The fufu was nice as well. I purchased jollof and fried rice to go and both were exceptional, especially the fried rice. I wouldn’t mind making the drive just for the kenkey again. I would highly recommend!

This was a beautiful hidden treasure in Irvington New Jersey. The food was amazing I got the cooked yam and spinach soup the food was fresh and very tasty. The prices are reasonable as well and the customer service was amazing definitely going back!

★★★★★ 5.0 Linda Duah · Nov 2025

I had an incredible experience at Potbelly African Restaurant! I ordered the banku and grilled tilapia, and it was hands down one of the best I’ve had. The tilapia was perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection. The banku had the perfect texture and paired so well with the pepper sauce and vegetables. The presentation was beautiful, the portion was generous, and every bite tasted fresh and authentic. You can truly feel the passion and skill that goes into their cooking. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was excellent, friendly staff who made sure everything was just right. If you’re looking for delicious, well prepared African food, Potbelly African Restaurant is absolutely worth the visit. I’ll definitely be back, and I highly recommend it to anyone craving real,

We have noted inconsistencies in our pricing structure, where the menu displays one price and the actual charge varies depending on the staff member. This issue has resulted in the loss of my patronage.
