Ok this is not real African food. Rice taste like boxed white rice colored yellow. No flavor. Oxtails cheap, fatty, and oily. Most of all these people have the worst attitudes. The younger light skin girl is so rude with a bad attitude. No smile just miserable acting. Not cute or a good look. Other girl a little better but honestly why have children at your counter who don’t want to be there? Food is not even all that good to have to deal with that sort of energy in the air. Won’t return or recommend.

Congolese food in Syracuse. Imagine! Increasingly, Syracuse is seeing the benefit of recent immigration in the form of restaurants featuring new cuisines. Taste of Africa is one of them. In our two times dining here, we’ve found the food delightful and the service personable. The tilapia in tomato and pepper sauce with fufu tantalizes your palate. The fried plantains are the best in Syracuse – crisp and sweet, but not overly so. The ribs are also worth trying, while the curry dishes with their distinct central African spicing dance on your tongue. We had a vegan bean dish this time that did not disappoint.

We were in the mood to try something different and thought why not try some African food! It was inexpensive, taste was ok, nothing spectacular. The plantains with the sauce was probably my favorite dish.

Good place to get something to eat. The service is good, beautiful music, food was good in general special fufu, but fish was not dry enough for me, but it also depends on how everyone likes it. I can’t wait to bring my American friends to try some African cuisine.

They never deliver every time i open grubhub no matter how close i am it says they are closed. Need to fix your delivery app or get a new one i know your food is good but the downside is definitely this.

So. Good. A little local restaurant that deserves way more attention. If you like authentic food from other cultures, you should be eating here. Frequently.
