"The Fufu With Fresh Fish Egusi Is Delicious! It Was My 1st Time Eating From Here, Hands Down Food, They Were Quick, Easy, I Made A Special Request &' They Did Exactly How I Wanted My Food. The Fish Was VERY Moist, Fresh And Flavorful"
"My Okra tasted soapy. The fufu and egusi was amazing though! I also asked for fried fish but it was fresh fish instead. Portions need to be better for the amount being paid. I spent $70 for little food. Other than that, egusi is the best on the menu. "

"Got the eru & the spicy goat & they were delicious. Definitely will order again"
"First time ordering from Sylanim Savors: I have to admit that the prep time was fast, prices are very reasonable, the packaging is impeccable and most of all the quality and flavor are excellent. I am impressed with the golden quality of the puff puff. My family and I enjoyed everything we got and can’t wait to order again. I highly recommend this place.

The okra was delicious (made just like my dad's). Saved the jollof for later, but I took a bite and that was made very good as well. "
"The plaintain was dry and there was only 6 in the entire container, meaning i paid over a dollar for each plaintain. The Tilapia Fresh Fish (1 pc) that i received was better. The stew was slightly a bit too salty but the tilapia was cooked well and was sizable and fit the price."

They give you the option of 3 different meats but they give you one small piece of beef that's hard one piece of tripe that's super tough and two tough pieces of chicken and all the pieces are super small. I gave them a chance because they have reasonable prices but the quality is not good. I definitely will not order from them again"

"This is my first time trying African Cuisine and I will say 10/10 recommend!!
I’m so glad I chose Juneteenth to try African food!
The Ogbono is so good! It is very spicy, idk if it comes that way. I will try to get regular next time. I thought it was completely vegetable, I had beef or stew meat - it was tender.
The pounded yam goes well with it, it reminds me of a ball of instant mashed potatoes. It helps with the spice.
The Moi-Moi is good! I might eat it for breakfast. The texture is smooth and solid. Its similar to tamale.
The Suya was a little tough. The purple sliced onions were really good and spicy as well.
The meat pie was good! I got chicken, it was flavorful. I was expecting the chicken to have more juice to it.
Overall each item was full of flavor and spices. I will reorder this again along with a dessert!! I think this is a great place for a first timer! If you have never tried African cuisine, be open minded and give it a try!"

"The best. So delicious. So fresh. My new food addiction. The spicy goat is the best"
"I am sorry to say that I am disappointed in the food that I received from this restaurant, as I had such high expectations from a 4.9 rated establishment. Unfortunately, the portion sizes of both the Beef Suya and the Lamb Dibi were not worth the high prices that we paid. We especially found the Beef Suya way TOO salty and were unable to finish the small portion received. This was definitely not money well spent."

"Egusi Soup with Chicken was great could have given more Pounded Yam for the extra $3.00 they charge you for it! That's why I didn't give 5 stars but the food was good! "
"They sent 3 small cut pieces of oxtail, which is basically the equivalent to one whole oxtail. A ton of rice was sent, and you'll see I removed the salad that was supposed to be cold, as it was mixed with hot food. I've cooked oxtails, and ordered oxtails for over 20 years, and this is not right!"

"Ever dish is appetizing . I only finished part of the dish of curry chicken . I'm a little let down because I was expecting the curry chicken to have a lot more meat in the food container that it was in but the flavor of the chicken juices is so wonderful that I can already tell I'll be returning soon . However I'm sure the oxtails and goat plate will be liked and taste excellent too . I have no serious about the Caribbean meal it's amazing and all of my drinks came with the order . The cream soda in particular is so good that it may really make me get five of those and I was really pleased with every dish that was prepared and served so I'll be ordering five more of those cream soda without adding a dinner I'm going to be reheating some more meals later because I'm so full right now . Tropicana and the Caribbean grill will be my two favorite restaurants . I'll place separate orders for two meals and beverages from each of them so please don't go out of business I will always be there to support your company "
"I got Suya and jerk chick
The portion is good for the price on the jerk chicken but its literally so salty and spicy not good , i can't eat it
