I've been trying to get their oxtails and gravy for a while and I got lucky! They only had 1 order left and I walked away with it. 😁 The rice and gravy was good and the portions were perfect...I had enough to eat twice. The plantains were awesome, so sweet.😋

Delicious! Very yummy! Excellent flavours, like home cooking if you lived in Liberia. Quaint little place. Friendly people. Vegetarians happy!!!

Only take-out but such a great meal! Shared with a bunch of others to taste all the great flavors - we were so excited to eat, just have a picture after we devoured it all

we had their #1 dish with rice and chicken and plantain absolutely tender chicken. Delicious sauce. It’s been my second time here last time I had the oxtail stew and it was amazing. I tried their signature hot sauce, and it tasted perfect. Service was quick about 10 minutes.

A true hidden gem. I was looking for something to eat and took a gamble on this spot and it paid off big time. The oxtail and Fufu were great. I intended to enjoy the meal when I got home but made the mistake of sampling the food while in the car. That led to a change of plans. The oxtails were cooked and seasoned PERFECTLY. I consumed my whole meal while in the car so focused on the food I almost forgot about the crazy sauce they sold there. It's named THE SAUCE, that name alone speaks volumes. That sauce is the biz. I got the mild and it was a perfect blend of heat and pepper. I will be heading back there tomorrow to sample a couple more items on the menu.

Delicious! It was my first time having Liberian cuisine, and it was an experience. I usually finish whatever dish I'm eating, but I should have invited somebody over or saved some...the portions were pretty big! Give them a call as they're open pretty late for San Leandro during Covid times.

I’ve been wanting to try West African food for a while but it is hard to find. Kendejah did not disappoint! I had the cassava leaf special. It feels both nourishing from the greens and hearty/rich because of the chicken. It has a slightly earthy/smoky flavor which some people might not like. Reminds me of indian saag or hawaiian laulau. It’s also a huge portion (2 meals) for the price. I would try something different next time!

Jamesha, thank you kindly for your kind introduction to the menu and for your recommendation which I thoroughly enjoyed! I’m super looking forward to trying more of the menu! The chicken was perfect and the rice was so flavorful. Plantains were enjoyable too!

I tried all the items on the daily menu and saturday menu which includes: Attieke and fish, joloff rice, oxtail, fufu and peanut butter sauce, bean toborgee and potato greens. My favorite and only dish i liked was Attieke and Fish. Potato greens was pretty dry. And i really could not stand the smell of the Bean Toborgee as it was a very strong smell and did not like the taste neither.

So delightful. Delicious flavors, huge portions and the kindest staff. Definitely get the hot sauce (you can buy by the bottle too!) Was ready 20 minutes after I called the order in. Wish I could try their special daily menus for a week + !

One of the best meals I’ve had recently of any type or tradition. Strong recommend! We had the oxtail, snapper, greens and jollof rice. Oxtail was falling off the bone, snapper was so fresh and flavorful, and the greens were succulent and well seasoned. Service was also 10/10

Only takeout. Called in and ordered 15-20 min ahead of time and oxtails were amazing. Portion was pretty big so I saved some for dinner. I’ll have to go back another day and try the sauce everyone’s been raving about.

First time eating Liberian food, it was delicious, delicious, delicious! My favorite so far is the oxtails stew, absolutely love!

First time trying fufu. It taste so amazing! And the soup was really spicy, I loved it. The meat in the soup was so tender and delicious. And the Ox tail was really really good. Definitely have to go back and try everything on the menu!

Me and my cousins were looking for a place to get fufu. One of the restaurants that we were planning to go to was closed on Sunday, but Thank God we found out Kendejah Restaurant was open! It was my first time having Liberian food and I was not disappointed. As soon as we walked in, Dougie gave us a sample of “The Sauce”, and I knew I had to bring one home to NY. All orders are take out, but we were lucky to sit at the table outside the restaurant. We couldn’t wait to eat that I couldn’t get decent pictures of our dishes. We ordered the oxtail stew, okra, the collard greens with chicken and plantains. It was my first time trying fufu and I enjoyed it. I am not a fan of okra because i’m a texture person, but the okra we got COMPLETELY changed my mind. I would order it again, especially the oxtail. Everything was delicious, you have to try it yourself.

First time eating here, we came for the food food. It was delicious got my entire family our own individual meals , Even though the portions are a really good size, we wanted to try Uber rioting things because we couldn't pick cause it all looked are good. And after we ate it we were glad we did. We tried the medium sauce purchased it. It was so delicious and I love and it have fish inside. We will definitely be back, and I told my family about it already.

First time here or eating at any African restaurant. I've had Jollof rice and know that I love it so I looked for a place in the area. There is currently no dining in so it's either take out or if you're lucky you might get a seat at the table outside. We were about to leave when a lady sitting at the table told us she was just waiting for her order and we could eat there. Thankfully we stayed. We have two orders of the jollof rice and chicken plate. The rice was very mild (could be their variation) and the chicken was tomatoey and tender, just delicious. Kinda reminds me of flavors I've had with Cuban stews which would make sense with the plantation workers (slaves) that were brought to S. America and the Caribbean. Came with fried plantains as well. Ask for hot sauce which is made with Habaneros, he warned us it was hot but I could spread it all over my food, loved it. One person had the potato leaves with chicken and turkey. It doesn't photograph well, most leafy stews don't regardless of ethnicity but it was also delicious, especially if you like that kind of dish. You can find similar textures in dishes made with taro leaves, malungay, and others like it. Lastly one ordered the fried Snapper and it was expertly prepared. Crisp skin and moist tender meat. You get a whole fish. Sorry for the photo, it was covered with some veggies and I couldn't move them as it wasn't my dish but it is definitely also worth ordering. Would definitely come here again if in the area. We all live across the bay but we will all remember eating here.

This is my second time coming here this week, and I’ll be back again next week so you know the food is amazing! It took me too long to try Liberian food, I couldn’t believe how delicious it is.. I’ve been missing out! I’m always looking to try different African restaurants in the bay and I’m glad I came here. I recommend the palm butter and the potato greens. Try them you’ll love it! I look forward to trying everything on the menu. They also have plantain fufu which i was very happy about because most African spots only have pounded yam. Oh and the sauce!! The sauce is so good it LITERALLY goes with everything. It’s super tasty & kinda spicy so grab a jar while you’re there. The owner Dougie is so pleasant & welcoming, and the service is quick!

First time trying Liberian food. Or any African food in general. I got jollof rice and oxtail stew. I’ve been thinking about the food for weeks. Amazing. I wish I could eat inside but with covid and everything else going on in public health. I understand their decision to keep the restaurant closed. That being said their to go container was really sturdy none of my stew leaked or spilled. Constantly thinking about the delicious meal I got from here. Definitely going back.
