Being new to the area and Nigerian, I really wanted to like this place and call it home but there's no chance I'll be coming back. The cashier seemed annoyed about even taking our order, the food was nothing close to authentic, was bland and came out cold, and it was all way overpriced. $5 for one medium meatpie? $16 for some rice? Huh??? If you're Nigerian, you might want to try to find an alternative because this definitely ain't it. One extra star for the drinks though. Only reason I'd come here tbh.

First time visitors. I had moi moi, oxtails and plantains; while my husband had the meat pie, egusi, and pounded yam. I was more than satisfied with the food. Tender, fall off the bone meat, and I really liked the sauce. Food was well seasoned, with a kick of heat! My husband is Yoruba, and wasn't too pleased with his soup, barely touched it. Being the only persons in the spot (5pm), I think we could have gotten more attention. Felt like we had been forgotten about a couple of times. Our water came out in plastic cups. Don't know if that's normal, but it's tacky. Maybe 10-15 min later, another couple came in and were given glasses with a pitcher of water 😧 But we will go back and give it another try

The food was fabulous. There were so many things to choose from. I wanted a little bit everything. I was lucky other people came and ordered stuff and I got to taste a little bit of almost everything. Next time when I go back, and there will be a next time. I will have to order something new. I was Inspired by the poetry reading. When I say inspired, I want to go back and read some poetry.

Nice place, okay food with small portions and over priced. 4 piece of beef and lots of rice .1leg quarter and lots of rice. $17 per dish with mostly rice. Happy hour prices are good for drinks. Waitress was new on the job I think, but nice and fast. DeeJay played nice music. Cigar smoking made me leave. I would go again for drinks and music. Outside is ♿ and sort of in a strip mall off main road, not bad. I did not try the inside.

Food was filling. Nothing was bad was fresh and hot. Laid back atomsphere for Wednesday; entertainment was decent. Waitress was nice and even suggested coming on Saturday when they have live entertainment.

Maybe it was this specific night, but the crowd was way too young for my liking! Tables are first come, first serve. The table we sat at was not stable at all and my friend dropped her drink because of that. I paid $34 for (8) jerk wings, fries and one rum punch. They put the jerk sauce on the side in a small container and I wish they put it on the wings because that was not enough. I highly doubt that I'll return unless my friends drag me there again.

My first time there it was okay I just feel that the waitress needed a little bit more service experience but we were there with a group and it could have been a lot for her to maintain the overall I had the kola rum punch My first one it was okay it needed just a tad bit more liquor and when I told her that when she brought my second one my second one sent me straight it was very good.. I watch my friends tear the food up looking fingers and everything. The music got us up and dancing all over the dance floor I had just missed the live band but next week I will return and enjoy myself again. If it wasn't for my girlfriend's birthday gathering here I would not never knew anything about it I got a place where I can have good drinks good food and somewhere to dance I'll be back 😍😊🥰

Food: 7/10. The jollof was really good and the jerk chicken as well. What lowers the score is the meat pie. It was either old or came from the frozen section. It did not taste fresh at all and was very bland. Atmosphere: 5/10: There was some jams that was played but it was blaring loud! I could barely have a conversation with the people I came with. We basically had to yell at each other. The lighting was weird and also the set up of the restaurant. It was kind of confusing when we walked in because there was no host. Customer Service: 3/10. The waitress made very rude comments. Please understand that not every enjoys “sarcasm.” She was rude and made us feel uncomfortable. No bill was provided which I thought was odd. I’ve never been to a restaurant that did not provide a bill. When someone from my party went to the register to request it, no one was there. Also the waitress kept sniffling and I saw her coughing multiple times. Please stay at home if you’re sick. I think we should know that by now after dealing with a pandemic!

Food was bess, vibez was bess, the lady that cook this fish omg food made me remember my mom's cooking. Bartenders were on point love then. Went for Bob Marley event and it was amazing will come again.

My fav African restaurant in Michigan please give us a bigger portion for the snails. 3 small snails for $18 is not worth it.

I just have to say how impressed I am, not only by the food, but by the generosity of the owner! Recently the owner provided meals to the entire staff, where I work, All 3 shifts. For us, considered essential personel, acts like this are extremely rare. I will definitely be frequenting this establishment , as soon as possible.!

Great food karaoke was a blast Tonight.

The restaurant is amazing. They have amazing waitresses. They have a security. They have great music great app is fair. I love it there. I would go there every chance i can time then I have to go there. and on top of it, they have amazing people that host there. Sometimes they have live bands performance famous African singers, who performs there at times in tines events and parties are all going down at kola The owner is really doing amazing job and I can’t wait to meet her one of these days and I know I will meet him one of these days. God bless this restaurant with unity peace love and more.

Kola's was awesome. Open Mic was a Hit as well. The food was very tasty & my Jerk Wings were Delicious.

KOLA JAMAICAN RESTAURANT FARMINGTON HILLS 👍👍 👍 👍 👍 Good Jamaican restaurant in Farmington hills. They have music events frequently and it's great AMBIENCE & CLEANLINESS 👍 - Food Jamaican ambience and decently cleaned LOCATION 👍 Middle of Farmington hills QUALITY OF THE FOOD- 👍 we ordered jerk wings , curry chicken and spicy potatoes. All good SERVICE👍 Very friendly service and servers are awesome. VALUE for MONEY👍 reasonably priced and worth to try.

When I say the food was amazing!!!! The vibes was even better, my cousin invited me this restaurant and at the time a guy was giving my cousin and her fiancé ballroom lessons. The service was even better!!!! If you want good food & good music Kola is definitely the place to be!

Decided to give them another try. Ordered the jollof rice with jerk chicken. The food was old and it didn't taste fresh. The jollof rice was refried and taste old. The jerk chicken was very dry and taste like it had been frozen and had jerk sauce added. A waste of money because I can't even it the food I bought. Also, a waste of gas, I drove 25 miles just to have traditional Nigerian food and couldn't even eat it.

This is unquestionably one of the most attractive restaurants in the area. Always when I come to this place I am greatly glad. They preserve their very high standard service and the highest level of cooking they offer. You will be always satisfied with this restaurant. Highly recommended.

It's a nice area to dance and hang out for the weekend.

Great food. Reasonable prices. Great wait staff.

Always fun to be here. The house DJ is ever spinning great naija music

Great service, had an item missing on my order (not on them, an error with the website) and they made sure everything was taken care of. Jollof was great.

The overall experience was good. Our server Cousin was very friendly and accommodating. She provided service with a smile and great attitude. The food (oxtails and jollof rice) was tasty and flavorful, although a little too spicy for me. It was a nice surprise that Kola had live entertainment. We had a great time on a Wednesday evening.

I ordered food for a school program showcasing other cultures food and this place has really good food. I never had African cuisine and I must say they didn’t disappoint. They were so kind to give me samples before I made my purchase and everything was good and it was hard to choose. They received good reviews from the children and parents. Will definitely return. The vibes in the restaurant were good as well. Clean inside.

This place is very nice, some food choices are smaller than expected, but it is lively with dancing and good music and really good Egusi soup!

Music was great. Took 4ever 2 get food n the food wasn't great.

Kola is one of the best experiences. The food is great and the staff are even better. The waitress Jenny’s vibe is one of a kind. If you haven’t been here you’re missing out. The DJs on Thursday nights are jamming and the crowd is popping. This place is truly a great time

I was so excited to try Kolas! The buzz has been going through the community for some time and I had not had the chance to check it out until recently. I patronize different African cuisine restaurants and I must say I am truly disappointed by my experience. The food was not fresh and appeared to be nearly warm upon receiving take-out. The Suya beef was just barbecued steak with soggy tomatoes and onions soaking in meat juice along side of a small portion of seasoning. The egusi had more watermelon seeds than spinach and a strong fish seasoning/oil to it. The pounded yam was very small in comparison to the amount of soup/stew provided. The chicken stew was a piece of baked chicken with spicy tomato sauce on it. Nothing special and tasted old as if it had been warmed up and sold. In comparison to similar restaurants in Michigan that sell African food, the Kola Restaurant did not speak to culture through their cuisine. I hope things change as it is has great potential.

Food was good. Music was GREAT!!...Service was a little slow but the bartender was nice. Will definitely come back and I hope they have more help at the bar!

Always have a good time when I come here.

I went to this during open mic poetry night. I did not taste the food but the atmosphere was very nice and the people were very friendly. The wait staff was attentive and I noticed that everybody else was eating something. I can only guess how good the food was. I'd go again at least to taste the food.

Great atmosphere and food. Bartender was super nice as well. I’m not a fan of alcohol but the house drink was soooo good

The worst egusi soup I’ve ever had. I’ve tried it a couple of times now and always end up disappointed. I was craving egusi soup today and with kola being the closest location that has it I decided to give it another chance, and I’m beyond disappointed. From the moment I opened it I could smell that it was burnt.I tried adding the sauce from the chicken so that I can atleast eat it but that didn’t even help. The burnt taste was too overpowering.

The food is delicious, but this place could be way more nicer if they had couches instead of tables. It needs to be more of a lounge type of place. It feels cold and not inviting. The owner really should invest in the inside of this building as far as making it more of a lounge comfortable environment. Adding hookah would be a plus too.

I truly love Kolas, i have been coming here for the past few years. The food is beyond amazing and so are the staff. Only thing that bothers me is you’re getting less and less food at a higher price. Don’t get me wrong i understand ingredients have gone up but the food is a little too high and for the portion you’re getting. Pretty please add a little more to your soup bowls please 🙏🏾. I love ❤️ you guys and see you soon.

This is one of those places where you have to know what they do best. In a party of 9 only 1 person enjoyed their food. We waited over an hour for the food and it was not worth the wait...at all! All of the food did not have any flavor, the oxtails were extremely small(the smallest I have ever seen), the rice and peas were crunchy, beef in the stew was overcooked, flavorless wings and the list goes on. The coco bread and jollof rice was good. Lastly, they do have happy hour, however, the time is not correct on the menu and this was not communicated until after the bill came. I do not recommend.

It was a pretty chill spot! Calm environment, great music! I'll be sure to go a bit earlier than i did this go round, so im able to try the food!

I definitely did not care for my curry chicken I probably should have took a picture for $19 and got a drumstick and a half a chicken breast and a bowl of rice. Had it good and flavorful I don't mind paying.

We had a great time celebrating here! The food was so good.

I would give five stars however food quality has dropped since coming here 3 years ago. Could be that this place is now popular for African Food ......Otherwise this place is really chilled, clean, with great vibes....live bands

I had the opportunity to attend yesterday’s AfroBeat Paint and Sip at the Kola Restaurant & Ultra Lounge, and hosted by Be A Part of Me Consulting, LLC. It was an amazing experience filled with great music, great food and great people! I even had the opportunity to express my artistic talent, which promoted self-care through painting and relaxation. Until next time, thank you Kola!!

Great good Slow service but everyone is friendly Great Live music

I've been a fan for years, but no more. The food was horrible! The coconut rice was dry. The jollof rice was nasty. The food was not fresh and had a horrible taste like freezer burn. I can't believe the quality has diminished so much. If I could give zero stars I would. For the money you'll spend, go anywhere else.

Service was HORRIBLE. I waited an hour and a half just to get my appetizers!!! The only reason I'm giving them one star is because my waitress was sweet. I noticed how they kept taking food outside, I was thinking it was carry out but instead they were servicing others outside!! I arrived before all of these people because outside dining was completely empty upon my arrival. Another thing that was completely irritating is the way the owner or manager kept checking on a white couple and ignored us completely!! Will never return! Waist of my time and money!

Kola is a nice place to eat some Nigerian and Caribbean food while listening to afrobeats and top 40 music. Seems to always be some sort of function going on. I notice a lot of Frats and sorority's have events there. On Friday there is a live band. Saturday is ballroom and hustle lessons from 5-9 and around 10 the DJ comes in. He plays the video along with the music. I love a DJ that does that! Food: There is a restaurant side and lounge side. You seat yourself. My personal favorites are the chicken wings (seasoned soooo good), jollof rice, coconut rice and peas, plantain and stew, and the beef suya. The waitresses and bartenders are nice. Bar: Nice size bar. The bar has many options. Liquor, beer, and wine. The house drink is the rum punch. It's sweet and strong.

Okra Stew and Cowsfoot were to die for. Always hearty and delicious

I went to this venue for an event. The bar and wait staff were poorly equipped for an event that was planned in advance. It took anywhere from 20-30 minutes (at least) to get a drink (which was quicker than waiting for a server). I ordered chicken wings and fries and was waiting for approximately an hour for a simple meal. I followed up with the bartenders and they had zero sense of urgency (while making drinks either) nor opted to try and accommodate me. I then requested a refund. Of course the food comes out as I’m requesting the refund. After waiting that long for food, most establishments would have comped the bill or offered a discount. But of course, I was asked if I still wanted it and when I refused they just said okay so I proceeded with the refund. Some time later, my friend received his food after at least an hour wait as well. The owner (or manager) told him his food was on the house though for his wait. Of course that didn’t sit well with me because no one tried to accommodate me for my wait. I do not plan on patronizing this establishment again.

New out of state next day delivery works great with vacuum packed foods and dry freezed!! I will definitely order again from these guys!!

The fofu (pounded yam) and egasi were delicious and authentic. However, the wait time was a bit ridiculous. We waited about 45 minutes for carry-out. Be prepared to wait. The food was good though.

In the age of COVID I am so happy that Kola offers a food shipping option for the out-of-staters such as myself to enjoy the tastes of good African and Caribbean cuisine. When the food arrived in mail it was insulated properly so arrived frozen/cold. The meats (Suya and Jerk Chicken) were separately vacuum sealed so they weren't spilled in the packaging. The spices and sauce were also packaged separately so they weren't messy. I just warmed the food, added the spices and sauce and I was in business. Most importantly the food is great!! Will be repeat customer.

Amazing atmosphere! Great food. Love it here. UPDATE (01/21) - AWESOME. I was selected to participated in the shipping program where they ship menu items to you. They apply some form of coolant (like dry ice) and cold packs and ship to you via UPS. I got it shortly after shipping and it was still nearly ice cold. Wonderfully packed. Food was vacuum sealed and labeled. Just as good as in the restaurant! Thanks, Kola!

Recieved my order by Mail and it tasted very fresh and tasty as ever. I will no longer have to fly to Detroit for my KOLA menu I will Order, but I do miss the Entertainment.... Thank You KOLA

Wonderful atmosphere. Great service and excellent food! Also, try their catering menu for parties large or small.... they will accommodate all of your needs. They never disappoint us!

I love the food especially the edikang ikong and the moi moi. waitress Esther is the best 😁Liz the manager is very accommodating and her daughter is also. The owner is awesome and now they have outside seating.Thanks ladies🖤

The food, beans, and rice smelled like it came straight out of a barn. Combine that with the mystery meat and you have god knows what sitting on your plate.The wait time was a bit out there as well; we waited an hour for food. Although the goat was okay, customer service was lacking. I ordered a meat pie and it took the time I was there for them (hour and a half) to tell me they had none, even after I had the waitress check on it twice for me. The atmosphere was nice though, and the music was lively - it made me want to dance.

Waited for 2hrs 30mins for my food and they came back to tell me that they don't have coconut rice after 2hr 30mins please make sure you eat out before going to kola because they will disappoint you

It was ok, had a good time with my soul mate while we was there!

Thankyou for providing amazing food and service for my brother's 50th birthday party surprise!

Slowwwwwww service ,inefficient waitress. Nice food and friendly atmosphere

Good food and standard service! Great place to eat!

It was okay, the goat meat meat was dry, plantain was dry and the egusi soup was fishing tasting it made me burp all night and today . I asked for egusi soup with goat meat but they didn't mix the two together. This is my 3rd time eating Nigerian food. The first two times the food was very good, the right texture, goat meat was very tender and plaintain was moist and sweet but I bought it from a restaurant on Schoolcraft and Inkster Road I can't remember the name of the place. The reason why I'm doing a review it's because I drove all the way from Wayne Michigan to Farmington Hills because the young lady on the phone said the food is very good and I won't be disappointed .

I loved the good food!💜💜💜

✅🥇✅

Go to when I'm in town!

Will never go back. This place is a rip off. Suya cost between $14-16 dollars for beef, that's crazy!!!! I can go to the grocery store and purchase over 2lbs of meat for that price. Also they don't care in the manner in which the meat is cooked. The meat is too thick, seasoning is off,the meat is not grilled on fire, it's broiled In the oven! If you are going to serve ppl food passing it as Nigerian do it right!!! Avoid this place. These are some lazy cooks.jollof rice was hard and dry, goat meat, no meat instead of was a huge bone with little meat.issa no for me.

I ordered a meal here from GrubHub even though the restaurant was about to close in a few minutes and not only did they accept the order, they were also kind enough to reach out and give me an update regarding the food. The food itself was incredible, from the stew to the chicken to the dessert, and I would highly recommend this place for anyone wanting to try out great African food!

Picked up carry out from this gem on a whim. A friendly voice on the other side of the phone gave me recommendations since it was my first time ordering. The jerk chicken wings and fried rice were simply amazing. If you haven’t gone yet, you should definitely visit!

I visit this place often for carry out only. My favorites are the beef suya and the egusi or edikaikong with goat meat and pounded yam.

Great food and exceptional hospitality! They created a delicious holiday meal for my partner and me with short notice! We will definitely be repeat customers!

I come here every month. Great food, great deals, great people!!

The food's interesting! But you need to show up on the first Wednesday of every month for the open mic poetry!

Great
