Contrary to the name of this place, ABSOLUTELY NO "soul food" is sold here. The first and foremost thing I noticed here was an EXTREMELY awful smell! I tried to eat outside of the box and try "African cuisine" so maybe that's a thing with that particular type of eatery or perhaps it was the smell from the tripe they sell here . Anyways the food was EXTREMELY AWFUL not to mention very expensive. For 3 sides and an Entree I spent over 50$, and waited 40 min for a togo order even though the place was empty the entire time we were there , which was around 1030 at night . I had the beef patty, plantains and rice. That was 33$ for some reason.. my gf had something called joffe rice, was sliced meat of some kind with rice.... Food was hella dry and old and to be honest it seemed like it was someone's leftovers that they boxed up instead of our to go order, my gf ate a good bit of the rice since the meat was dry and flavorless. Whilst eating she bit into something hard and discovered that there were many toothpicks under the rice which was weird considering the meat was already sliced and nothing was skewered in her dish,soooo upon seeing that, starving or not she had had enough. I got home and decided to eat my "beef patty" and found out that someone had already seemingly taken a bite of it !!! Disgusting!!! When I called you to the restaurant to speak to a manager, I was out on hold. After waiting nearly 20min on hold, someone hung up on me .. I called back 3x no answer, waited an hour and called again.. AGAIN I was put on hold, after 10min I hung up and called back, someone picked up the line and when explaining what happened, the girl was laughing and having a convo with someone else . . When I asked to speak to the manager yet again.... AGAIN I was hung up on!!! Rude!!! AVOID this place at all cost nothing about this place was appealing... besides it being the only place open late that wasn't "fast food". This was my first attempt at So called African food and I'm def not a fan. Will NEVER come here. Again...

This was the worst African spot I have ever been to. They charged us $52 for 2 very small plates of goat meat, Jollof rice and Plaintain. I was trying to try a new place out - and it was a big mistake !! How can you justify charging this much money for 6 pieces of bone and a scoop of jollof rice - they are cheats and crooks. Don’t waste your time and money- go to Southern Suya- they are the real deal. Not this BS.

This restaurant charges gratuity of 20% built into their bill even for TAKE OUT order.. VERY DUBIOUS!!! I did not sit there for 1 min… I did not go to club there.. I simply ordered over the phone and came in to pick up.. nobody served me!!! What is gratuity for???? Food not tasty. I ordered take out so I can talk about the atmosphere. Please make sure to check your bill before you pay. Before you become next victim!!

Service was by far the worst experience I’ve had in Georgia. The wait time was at least 2hrs. They ran out of food while I waited and forgot to pack one of my dishes. They automatically charged gratuity that wasn’t deserved. The portion of fish was healthy but the flavor fell flat more so than any African restaurant I’ve ever went to. Just blan so the wait wasn’t even worth it. $58 dollars and probably won’t come back after a friend recommended. The dj and drummers at least made the wait entertaining. Late night spot if you’re hungry at 6am

I put it to you that all the positive reviews here are fake. If I could give zero or negative stars, I would. Went to this establishment on a saturday night at 10pm. Firstly, all the waitstaff were laying down on the couches at the back of the restaurant. Like one literally took our order, put it in the kitchen, and then went back to lay down IN PLAIN SIGHT of us paying customers lol. I ordered the spicy grilled turkey and my friend ordered peppered snails. The portions were abysmal (see attached photos). My spicy peppered turkey was $17(tax included) and my friend's peppered snail was $22(tax included). To make matters worse, snail on the menu was listed as $15. When we asked about the price difference of $7, she said that was the old price from the "old menu". THIS RESTAURANT HAS ONLY BEEN OPEN FOR < 3 MONTHS! WHAT OLD MENU??? Also why weren't we informed about the price difference when we ordered? I like to support small businesses, especially african restaurants, because their ROI usually takes longer than their peers. But I don't think these guys really care, or plan to last very long. Also, the turkey was dry and overdressed with paprika and parsley. My friend said there was more pepper in her bowl than snails. If I were you, I'd take my money elsewhere.

I ordered egusi soup for $26 and this is the tiny bowl that was sent with no goat meat even though that’s what I selected on Uber eats. They then refused to pick up the phone. An absolute disgrace. Do not order from here

I seldom do stuff like this but the disappointment from the order today is enough to make even the dead rise to complain. I ordered suya, peppered turkey, and peppered snail. First, the order arrived really late, and while I can manage late delivery if the order is properly cooked, the appalling taste of the meals only made things worse. Second, the peppered turkey and snail appeared to have been fried in stale tin tomatoes rather than proper fresh Bell and other pepper. The snail was hard, burnt around the edges and stirred in fried tin tomatoes. Worse yet, the Turkey was boiled/poorly fried-the internal part of the turkey was barely cooked. Of all, anyway, the suya appeared to be fine. A huge disappointment!

This is a nice location located in a nice area. The earlier you go, the quieter it is. They serve African food, plantains, and Yams. You can call ahead of time to order for pick up. You just have to be patient when you go in to order your food.

Went in last night. Order was really simple side of jollof rice and an order of plantain. Rice was burnt and plantain wasn't cooked properly. Literally made me gag and spit everything out. Tried to receive a refund, the young lady with the blonde hair refused. I'm not sure if it's because I'm American and she thought I didn't know what I was talking about but I'm very big on international food, especially anything black because I am apart of the diaspora

This place is very pricy for food. The snapper is 35 dollars and comes with no sides! However it is very goooood. The stew on the snapper is top tier. The jollof rice and suya is good also!

How can you not like MR SOUL.From the food to the hookah to the vibe. Very peaceful & Organized. The owner is also a really honest & generous guy. Long live MR SOUL. I love this spot

The atmosphere is nice. Music and tv screens...The food tastes good. I had 2 orders of lemon pepper wings. They were REALLY small. The coating was VERY light but were crispy and tasted GREAT. That explains the second order. Each time I counted my wings, I was short one wing. When I got my ticket I noticed the receipt states there's an AUTOMATIC 18% gratuity. The lighting is low so pay attention. The problem is the fact that another screen popped showing suggestions for an additional TIP! My bill went from about $27. (I ordered a canned soda for $3.50 but was charged $4) to about $36. The extra tip (my min. is 20%) put my bill at about $42. Are you kidding me? From $24 plus taxes to about $42? For Double charging on tips? Tips on tips? Here's a tip: Bring your reading glasses. Count your wings. Enjoy the atmosphere and music and remember you have already paid 18%. Tip for Mr Soul: Get at least 20% tips, but stop double charging. Fix that charge machine and have the cook count to 10 for wing orders.

The food is fresh and tasty. I love going for the great music and good vibes. They even play drums for an added layer of excitement!!

The Dj’s at the spot every night during the after hours are supernatural . Also getting great food at those late / early hours of the morning are nothing but a blessing . Its a true taste of africa .

Food was flavorful but tough. Music was WAY too loud. If not for that, would be a great scene. Hookah was good though

Newly renovated and new ownership. Mr Soul is quickly transforming RED ROOM into a MUST for your weekend vibez. You can always find Celebs in there too. Best bottle prices in town, Best food in town, Great service and always Awesome DJs and Hosts. Can't go wrong when Mr Soul is involved.

Spicy ponmo… was not spicy. Just stew chunky at the top that wasn’t spicy but a regular stew. The asun… was not juicy… not spicy… not well seasoned… noodles were dry…. Just…not good.

Mr. Soul sure does know how to throw a party. I like his new venue, it’s spacious, I love the dj being in middle, it’s a vibe. Food is always good. The suya noodles is my favorite…

The revolving table for the dj was unique. Makes it stand out from other lounges I've ever been to. Also the lighting matches the name of the club. Great spot overall to go to enjoy your time.

The is the best food I’ve had in Atlanta. If you’re looking for the best entertainment in alt, Mr Soul Redroom is the place to be. Great food and great customer service. 100% Tested and Trusted!

Food is 💯! You can’t go wrong with the Red Room by Mr Soul delicacies . Plus the workers and the owner are very nice people . Mr Soul himself made the kitchen cook fresh noodles for us everhough we got there few minutes late .I will be back again for sure .

The best African food in Atlanta . Music is on point if you ever want to feel the need to party at night . The owner Mr Owner Mr Soul is very nice Is the best ever

I had a great experience here. The service was great too. I will be back. I loved the barbecue chicken and beef suya

I love Red Room by Mr Soul . Loved it when it was Mr Soul bistro and now it’s a combination of both . Everyone needs to try the food here . It goes beyond the vibes .

I got me a fufu and it was fire no cap I enjoyed that, after that my hookah arrived it was smooth 10 pm was not that busy, Great vibe and dope place 100/100. I’m definitely coming back again <3

I got a lot of food but the goat head (isiewu) and it was the best I had tasted in the US. All the other food were all on point. I travel a lot, mostly for work and I try to represent the motherland by searching out Nigerian places in every city. Mr Soul, I am definitely coming back for more.

I thought this a Nigerian restaurant with a Nigerian cook. But na this food is trash. I repeatedly go there hoping maybe it’s the batch I got or something but everything I’ve had there has made trash and overpriced. The noodles have too much oil to coverup their no sauce and it’s overpriced with 4 bits of suya and 3 shrimps. The asun have 5 pieces of skin and no meat, it’s burnt and the price doesn’t make sense. The goat meat is 3pieces of bone with orange stew!!!!! The white rice tasted stale and leftover the Jollof rice is even worse. The kitchen is not meeting the kitchen standards of a Nigerian restaurant.

They are extremely bias towards Haitian do not come here.They hate Haitians. Especially dj B.J. He specifically said that to me. Ci se Ayitian ou ye pa vini la.

We went late night after hours and ordered a bottle of Don Julio Reposado. It was already poured into a plastic container. We never really did see the bottle. And, the price was outrageous. The bill just for one bottle was a few dollars short of $600.

I love the vibes here, definitely the after spot to go on a Saturday night cuz they are open so late. I was in there dancing all night! Everyone was so nice and I even lost my keys and wallet there; I definitely thought it was gone for good but when I reached out a week later they let me know they had it and kept it safe for me to come pick up!

The suya was delicious, the jollof was okay as well but I’ve had better. Also the dodo was not ripe enough to my liking but to each their own! The beef was also delicious 😏 satisfied with everything but the dodo.

Wow ! i thought i had seen it all when i had their jollof rice , suya and fried goat meat . Then my friend put me on to their spicy rich noodles ....That is for sure a game changer right there . I had to order 4 more plates to go on the same day . Everyone needs to go try the noodles and then come back with your honest comments. Plus the owner Mr Soul is an amazing person and very humble too .

So first off the special rich noodles are amazing. This is one of my favorite places on Buford and the atmosphere is awesome.

If you want pricy food and small portions this is your place never ordering here again sticking to ikes !!!
