Mimi African Restaurant

Staff was extremely unprofessional literally on the phone the entire time I was trying to place my order. They barely speak English just french. They don't have what's advertised on the menu, the don't have an ac system just a fan that blows dust and circulates hot air. Make sure you have cash because they don't accept any other form of payment. There are better places and cleaner to get African food, skip this if you can

I normally don't write reviews however I could not let this go pass. We have been getting food before the new owners took over. The food and service has been declining since. I actually believe this may be the 2nd owner since it was Mimi because the food taste continues to decline. My husband and I made a decision not to go back EVER. It took 2.5+hours to get our food which was pre ordered. My husband arrive a hour after we order to find that he had to wait another 45 minutes and then found out that the order was incomplete and would need to wait another 45. Really, between hard rice, tough lamb and goat, over cooked spinach and small plates it not worth. We will be looking for another spot. If anyone knows of a good English speaking local African resturant near Newark, please let us know. Thanks

Great good.. best and the freshest African good in nj.. there food is always good.. i mean always good.. love the rice and debe, the fufu and okra..
