    Do yourself a kindness and order ahead if possible. Less interaction with the wait staff the better. The food was amazing so amazing that it carried the review to 3 stars. Service was atrocious, between the attitude and competency of our server and the wait for our food I feel that I'm being too generous with the stars lol.

    *The only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 is because I waited way too long and others that ordered after me were receiving their food before me. With that being said this food was absolutely delicious 🤤 The star of my meal was the bean porridge. It had that African sweetness of spices and I could taste the crayfish powder dancing on my taste buds! It was a very pleasant surprise. The plantain was cooked to perfection 😍 I would definitely recommend this place to friends and will be back next time I visit!!!!

    I'm African American. I do construction. This food is healthy and fresh. I'm always satisfied with the portion I pay for because it's almost free how much they serve you. I have never eaten food with this flavor. My wife is so mad because I'm never hungry when I come home from work. Thanks For the wonderful experience. See you tonight .lol Eric

    I enjoyed my early morning meal on my last day of my visit to Texas in here. I ordered eba and okro stew, and suya. The meal was hot and delicious. They had it packaged in a To-Go package even though we were eating there. The oeices were reasonable as well.

    Worst restaurant by far. We were seated at a dirty table, offered no drinks or even cutlery/ condiments. We waited & literally had to ask them for menus. They started deep cleaning the floors with a strong chemical while we were dining which made one of us feel nauseous.Terrible customer service from the two male servers. 10/10 would NOT recommend. Do not waste your time, it’s not authentic Nigerian food.

    IF I COULD RATE MY EXPERIENCE A 0/5, I WOULD. My first and last time visiting this restaurant. For starters, my friends and I weren’t even asked if we wanted any drinks with our order. I ordered vegetable soup. It had no authentic Nigerian taste. I even eventually asked for stew to be put on the side to at least give the soup taste and the “stew” tasted as if it came straight from the can and they just added oil to it. When telling the Cameroonian server (and he could also see for himself) that I did not finish my food and did not want to pay for something I literally only took 4 bites of, he did not have my time. He then eventually sent an older man out who’s professionalism was not there. He literally said he will go and get the 4 chefs to come out and that I should tell them to their face that their food doesn’t taste authentic. What a terrible and belittling experience. I would not recommend.

    I'm sorry, but this chicken was so hard I couldn't even sink my teeth into the chicken. And it did not smell well.

    Man, I will give this African restaurant 5 stars. Why? 1) Owners are hella nice and they actually listen to what you're saying like a therapist. 2) The atmosphere is nice and quite which makes you focus on the food even more. 3) Food? Man this is my first time and I had the Jollof Rice with Goat Meat and that dish was 🔥🔥🔥 (don't know if emojis are allowed on my reviews but oh well). 4) The place is hella clean which should be standard for any food place, but this was exceptional. 5) They don't sell beer and liquor but they let us BYOB. Yaaassssss! Emperor Spoo approves and you should check it out...

    The food was terrible. I ordered from website and the prices were much higher than advertised once I got to restaurant to pickup food I’m not talking a dollar or two but much higher. Very deceiving because I never would’ve ordered at that price point. Note this my first time trying African food and my last, I ordered Soups one had no broth and the other tasted burnt. THe meat was not cooked long enough. It made me sick. DO NOT EAT HERE EVER, a waste of money. I have threw the food away it was just that bad

    I enjoyed the first time I went. I ordered the Jollof rice and chicken. It was good. My next time I ordered red stew beef (spicy) it was amazing. So if I end up in Dallas TX again I will be going again! Thanks Shuri!

    This was the most horrible African food I have ever tasted. I ordered the okra with mackerel. It looked as if the opening a can of mackerel and dumped it inside. You could clearly see it was not cooked with the okra. And as far as taste it had none. Not even salt. No spice nothing. I also ordered the vegetable soup. It taste as if they pulled it straight from the ground chopped and served unclean. I purchased the food for a dinner party. It was so bad the African lady through it straight inside the trash can after tasting .

  • 2/5 Joses O. 1 year ago on Google
    I ordered the pounded yam and okro, jollof rice and assorted beef, jollof rice and tilapia, and white rice and stew. The stew was the worst of it. It was prepared with tomato paste that was not well cooked. The taste of the paste literally overpowered the stew and made everything taste dreadful. The stew was also used on the jollof rice, and it gave off a bitter after taste. My friend who ate the okro also had several complaints about the taste being bland. The only saving grace was the jollof rice which was manageably okay after separating the part covered in stew. In summary, the okro and beef stew were poor choices, and I'll stick to the jollof rice if I ever return. It's the only reason I am giving this review any stars at all.

    This is the best food I have ever had. For the first time I found someone who can cook better than me. From now on every time I’m in Dallas I will always eat here. I Highly recommended this restaurant plus the guy at the counter is extremely humble.

    I was excited to finally find an African restaurant to try authentic food. So, before going, I saw different chefs make similar dishes I wanted to try. To my surprise, there wasn't much on the menu at Shuri, so I ordered Egusi soup with pounded yam, and after seeing it being cooked several times, the consistency of what I received was completely different. It was so greasy compared to what I had seen, and it was so hot there was no way to eat it without a spoon. Once it cooled down a bit enough to eat as intended it had no real flavor to it, just a bit spicy. I tried the Jollof rice, and goat. The Jollof rice was very good, but the goat still had skin on it. There was very little meat and, tasted like old and too tough to eat. I only enjoyed the Jollof rice. So for 43.00 I enjoyed rice. The location was very quiet, but I think that it would be better to have African music softly playing than depressing news. When people go to eat they want to enjoy a relaxing atmosphere not listen to negative happenings going on. Unfortunately, after my experience I would not revisit this location.

    I called ahead and ordered egusi soup with assorted meat and pounded yam on Saturday and it was ready when i got to the restaurant. It was one of the best egusi soup I've had in a long time. Portion size was also great for the price. I wish I had taken pictures to upload. I will definitely be returning to Shuri restaurant.

    I came here a few months ago to get some fufu and egusi. I was greeted with a warm and happy face. I forget his name, but he was so nice and welcoming and he did something very kind for me while I was there. And I could just tell my food was made with love!! Next time I am in Dallas I will be back for some okra soup! Hoping the best for this place

    Chicken was very hard and dry, goat had no meat. Had more Jollof rice than meat for $15 a plate. Jollof tasted nothing like it. I was very disappointed with this Nigerian Food. Not what im used to at all. Very expensive for the quality of food.

    Requested for rice and plantains with goat meat stew only to reach home and found no plantain and the stew is just terrible testing oil with some few soft goat meat here and there. When I call to complain I couldn’t get through because their mailbox is full!

  • 5/5 L B. 1 year ago on Google
    Went here after looking up west African food in the area. I ordered the tilapia with jollof rice and goat pepper soup. First time trying the soup. Both were so delicious and right amount of spice. The food took about 10-15 minutes and was fresh and hot when I made it home. The gentleman working there was so friendly. I definitely look forward to coming back.

  • 2/5 Best H. 7 months ago on Google
    I ordered jelof rice with fried plantains and fish with extra chicken, when I got home there was no plantains and the extra chicken he changed me $8:99 for was a very dry chest part with no meat on it.This one order cost me $30:00 . I threw the whole thing in the trash. I drove from lake ridge to get this food and I was disappointed.Always check your food before you leave.
