What a delightful experience ordering from African Tender! The Jollof rice with chicken I got for takeout was nothing short of phenomenal. Perfectly seasoned, rich in flavor, and the chicken was tender and juicy. African Tender truly knows how to deliver an authentic and memorable taste. Highly recommended for anyone craving a top-notch African dish. Will be back for more soon!

My turkey wing was cold as ice when I bit it. Definitely NOT fresh. Will never order here again. The oxtail was decent.
