    As a loyal customer of this restaurant for 5 years, I have continued to order takeout even during the pandemic. The combination of Fufu, goat soup, and plantain is a must-try delicacy. I don't know how the chef manages to create such delicious and unforgettable food. Because of these dishes, I feel that living in East Bay is such a wonderful thing. I hope that in the future, they can add a dish with okra and dried fish. If you are hesitating to try this restaurant, my advice is that it would be a mistake to miss out.

    First time trying fufu here and it was good! We paired it with the oxtail stew which was so rich and flavorful. The oxtail was tender. I really enjoyed the combo. There was no seating indoors as they blocked it off so it is more of a grab and go. However, there was a small table outside that we sat down and ate at.

    We called for pickup around 7:45 PM on a Sunday evening. Our order was ready by 8:00 PM! We ordered the jumbo oxtail with fufu, jollof rice, and plantains - the perfect amount to share for 2 people. The oxtail is delicious and pairs well with either the fufu or rice. Plantains are perfectly cooked! Be aware there is no indoor dining at this time, it is pick-up only! The host was kind and greeted me right away. Will definitely come back!

    Quite the gem of a find! Kendejah is a casual Liberian spot that's currently only doing take-out orders, but that shouldn't stop you from dining on their rich and delicious noms. It's situated in the middle of a vast square of food options, but parking can be tough so be ready to snipe a spot nearby. We were passing through around noon and still managed to grab something. There's really only one table outside to eat at so don't be expecting table service, but the lady running the shop graciously gave out a dollap of hot sauce for an added kick since we were eating there. That stuff has some *serious* heat, so be warned! It is absolutely worth it though. QR Code ordering and payment, though the menu is rotating. They have a larger menu with all their options on their big wall, though the glare does make it hard to read without a bit of angle adjustment. Things went pretty smoothly otherwise though and it didn't take long for our host to prep the portions. Oxtail + Rice&Beans - 5/5 Came with option of plain rice or rice & beans. I went with rice and beans and it was a pretty fragrant option so I have no regrets there. The oxtail stew was fantabulously creamy and rich. Hits a lot of earthier notes. Since I had a strong dollap of spicy sauce I had a whole lot of heat added on top and it definitely help bring it to another level (though it's firmly only suggested for strong spicy afficionados). Okra + Rice - 5/5 I had zero expectations but this came out as quite the luscious stew with sweet and grassy notes. Has a mix of chicken chunks and ground turkey, which blends together well.
