Southside African Restaurant offers an inviting atmosphere with a cozy vibe that feels like home. 🌍 The goat stew and jollof rice are absolute must-tries - packed with flavor and generous portions!

The service is commendable, especially Ola, who manages orders with calm efficiency. What stands out is the affordability; you can indulge without breaking the bank.

While there have been hiccups with pricing inconsistencies, the food is worth it. The restaurant is temporarily closed at the moment, but I can’t wait for them to reopen! Definitely looking forward to my next visit! 🍽️
