Whether you're already a fan of African cuisine or are looking to try something new, you'll find plenty to tantalize your taste buds at Afrikiko Restaurant. Locally owned and operated, Afrikiko brings the authentic flavors and dishes of West Africa to Houston's southwest side of town. Everything on the menu is prepared fresh in-house using traditional recipes and seasonal ingredients, ensuring an amazing and flavorful feast no matter what you order. Soup is a staple of African cuisine, so there are plenty of choices here, including goat pepper soup, dry fish soup, egusi soup, vegetable soup, and peanut butter soup--all served with your choice of meat or fish. For a more complete meal, pair your soup with a dish like fufu (seasoned ground starch such as plantain, yam, or cassava), rice balls, fried fish, or jolof rice (jambalaya-style fried rice). A small selection of beer and soft drinks is available to pair with your order, and the laidback dining space is filled with checkered cloth-covered tables that invite you to hang out for a while to eat, drink, and socialize. A place truly unlike any other, Afrikiko Restaurant is also available for takeout and delivery, providing a taste of Africa anywhere you prefer to dine.
