Soul of Africa Restaurant

Great food! But my lord, that pepper soup was spicy! Nevertheless things were pretty okay and i would suggest trying it out.

Good African food in an area where there aren't many options. There are tastier and cheaper options in Little Africa in Southwest Philly, but this one is more convenient for people further north. I was disappointed that they were out of potato greens, but I tried the tilapia & dry rice and seafood palm butter. The tilapia was huge and seasoned well. The "dry rice" was regular white rice. The palm butter was tasty but a bit more bitter than it should have been. The bowl was also only half full. The interior looks very nice. I will be back to try more dishes since they are so close to me.

Ignore the negative comments and bad reviews please. I’ve had several orders delivered and this is one of my favorite restaurants. The comment about the food being “too spicy” is so exaggerated for real. If you can’t handle spice don’t order from SOUL of Africa. I assume she meant the pepper sauce which is meant to be spicy DUH. All of their menu items are FIRE and there are options for everyone that isn’t a hater. If you like spicy get ready to have your sinuses CLEAR. All of their food is so fresh and I really recommend the tilapia if you aren’t into spice so much. The lamb is magic and the cassava leaves have me SINGING. Fufu is also impeccable and getting super trendy online (it’s about time) Support this restaurant because they are really something special.
