Afro Cook House

Had the pleasure or dining here for the first time and it was such a treat! The egusi with fish was bursting with flavor, the okra and fufu was chef’s kiss and the fried plantains are worth driving across town for! 10/10 recommend for a truly authentic experience with exceptional customer service!

the food is sooo good!! the service was great. the jollof rice and chicken was my favorite, so flavorful. the plantains were sooo yummy. I would definitely come back.

I always get the fufu and egusi. It was good as always. I tried the jollof rice the last time I went and I probably wouldn’t get it again, because it was dry. I also pick up Dettol soap and African Black soap almost every time I stop by lol. I wish they offered delivery lol

I can't express how good this food was. I had the jollof rice and egusi soup w/ fufu. I had been wanting to try those dishes for years, but had not had the chance until I found this place. In short, it was outstanding. The beef was so good, I had to stop the conversation I was having with my family to comment on it multiple times. The juices were exemplary. The experience was everything I expected, and frankly more as the chef kindly talked to us about the quality ingredients of the cuisine and how to eat it. I will be returning. It's the kind of place Tulsa needs and deserves.

Once again I found myself making a trip to the 71st and Lewis area, so I landed on the Afro Cook House on Lewis. First off, the place doubles as an ethnic market with the eatery tucked into a back corner. That said, while small, it's open, airy and doesn't feel at all cramped. I was hoping for the Suya beef, but they were out of that. Not having just a ton of time on my hands, I opted for the Smoked Chicken and rice. To his credit, the gentleman asked about my spice tolerance, making sure I understood that the dish was fairly spicy. Being a pepper belly, I told them to bring it on. While waiting I strolled around the store, looking at the myriad of exotic ingredients available, many totally new to me. This was my first foray into African cuisine, so I was totally a fish out of water.
