Zion Kitchen West African

My daughter and I just recently moved to the area from Philly. West African restaurants are littered all over the city back home. The restaurants back at home give you healthy servings and generally, the food is made to order. Since being here I?vebeen craving African food. It was a staple in my diet back home. After a quick Google search I decided to give this place a try.The first thing I noticed, which I didn?t like, was the food was already cooked and set up buffet style. That, however, didn?tdeter me from still proceeding with trying the food. My daughter and I decided to eat our food in the restaurant. I ordered okrastew over white rice for myself and jollof rice, goat and plantain for my daughter. The cashier told us we could sit in and eatour food first and pay after. So we did just that. I didn?t make it through my dish. They food was ok, however the meat in mystew was over cooked and tough and the rice wasn?t cooked well. My daughter didn?t like the jollof rice (which I didn?t eitherand we both LOVE jollof rice) but she did eat her meat and plantain. My daughter received a plate overflowing with rice,literally three pieces of goat meat and about five plantain. We finished our food and headed back to the front to pay. Our totalwas $45! F-o-u-r-t-y-f-i-v-e d-o-l-l-a-r-s!!! I was flabbergasted! I wish I had taken photos of our plates to show what littlewe received for $45! I honestly expected no more than $30. Back home we could have gotten enough for two meals each for what wepaid. I will never support this establishment again. The prices are outrageous, the food quality is subpar and the portion sizesare menial. Never again.

The fried fish was stale and hard. The Eguisi had an after taste and did not seem fresh as well. The goat meat was too hard to chew. I only enjoyed their jollof rice.

Food not good enough for the price?I got 2 pieces of meat in a little Okra soup for 22$ smh this is ridiculous

I have ordered asun/goat meat before (2 weeks ago) after a previous bad experience at zion?s and to my surprise, it was really good that i had to order again the next day. With that changed perception of Zion?s i decided to order asun again today and itwas really bad. the meat smelled and tasted stale and i had to put in a report on door dash and got my item reordered andredelivered, only for it to be the exact same mess. I am really upset because my whole dinner is ruined because of thisexperience. I don?t understand why stale food would be sold for customers consumption just because it was microwaved. this isappalling

I eat here 2-3 times a month and never had a problem until August 6, 2022. I ordered 2 egusi soups with chicken and 2 fufu to go, the price was $38.50. I reached home in about 10 minuets and i sat down with my daughter to eat. The chicken legs werefried so hard that I couldn?t even bite it, the egusi soup bowl was a quarter way filled barely enough for 5 scoops and it allwas cold. I was so disappointed, ALL OF IT WENT IN THE TRASH. I will never return because this is a poor representation ofAfrican food. They need to be closed for business at this point, the cook is some garbage. I couldn?t had McDonald?s for thefraction if the price and it would?ve been hot.
