Best places: African restaurants in Saint Paul, United States

Compact counter serve featuring African & American eats & espresso in a bright, colorful interior.

👍👍 Wow! We stumbled upon this deli when we were looking at a different place to eat. Having never eaten African food before (aside from a very specific Ethiopian place in DC) we let the man who took our order decide what we should eat. He may have been the owner? He suggested the fufu with rice & chick...

Traditional Ethiopian restaurant with vegetarian dishes, spices & lamb, plus fresh injera bread.

😠 I ordered the oxtail for delivery with doordash. I appreciate when the meat falls off the bones but not when all I get is bones...literally came with maybe two pieces of good oxtail. Flavors were okay. Very disappointed. Would not order again.

👍👍 We had an amazing experience at Betty's kitchen! The food was simply marvelous and the service friendly and helpful. The place has only been open about 2 1/2 weeks at this point. And we are excited to return! Be sure to stop in and try this much needed new neighborhood flavor⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Spacious bi-level fixture provides Ethiopian meals, vegetarian fare, cocktails & regular live music.

👍👍 This was a great find. Small place located on the main road. The parking is in the back of the building. Had the beef suqaar. Huge portion and delicious. Said this was my first time eating Somali food. Didn't have goat but said he would make a really good meal. Great spice level. Would definitely re...

😠 Food was expensive for how much I got. Fries were seasoned with Larwys seasoned ingredients. Very good music. Took 45 minutes for a small plate of fries and microwaved sausage the size of a crayon. Beef samosas were mid for the price.

😠 The service is very bad and slow. The heavy set lighter skin women who takes the orders is rude, very poor customer service and a bad attitude. I was able to tolerate the rudeness because the food used to be very good and consistent. I believe they changed cooks because the last 3 times I’ve ordered...

👍👍 Hooks. While not being inside the building yet, you could literally smell the air and it makes your mouth water. While going in the building, the smell gets stronger and stronger that you can’t resist anymore. The first thing you see is the people working and welcoming you into the building. The pla...

👍👍 My favorite place to eat african food. They're like family and their food is good. Try their donut and dry rice.

Colorful shop offering hot African dishes to go & imported goods such as clothing & jewelry.

😐 I would say the food here is delicious. I have eaten here many times and still as delicious. Now, WHY 3 stars, well to me good/great food is expected whenever I am paying for it. BUT IF YOU ARE GOING TO ORDER TO GO, PLEASE OPEN IT IN FRONT OF THEM BEFORE YOU LEAVE... I KEEP RECEIVING LESS AND LESS O...

😠 Ordered my pizza at 7:20, got a confirmation saying my pizza will be done at 8:08, got there at 8:30 and the place isn't even opened! Checked my bank account and they took money out of my account already. Bunch of crooks! Never supporting them again! I would give them 0 stars if I could!

Easygoing option serving familiar African fare from soups to entrees, plus housemade ginger beer.

👍👍 This place is incredible. The owner is so friendly! The sambusa is amazing and we also got the chicken and rice meal, spicy. It is delicious! Please support this business.

👍👍 The most authentic Nigerian food in the twin cities and I have tried a lot of them. The hospitality of the owners is top notch, for some reason Uber cancelled my order but I decided to call them and to my surprise it was indeed ready and they waited to hand it to me over an hour past their closing t...
