The African Calabash reviews
8Amazing service, great food. Had Jollof with tilapia and veges, fantastic is an understatement. Will definitely be back.
Food was absolutely amazing, so much flavour and the owner was an absolute sweetheart, so kind and welcoming.the rice was my partners favourite
portion sizes are worth the money!
I cannot praise this place enough. Food was amazing, all the flavours and spices. Must have plantain and suyo. This place is a must visit for the owner. Beautiful lady with a beautiful voice. We are so lucky, one of the customer was a singer too. Owner and customer both sang beautiful hymn and a song by Whitney Houston. Energy was beautiful and positive. This place fills your stomach with delicious food and your heart with beautiful energy. Must visit.
Had the egusi and yam, suya meat and a serving of gibblets. One of the better food experiences in Melbourne. Never tried African food before and this had exceeded expectations.
This is my go to restaurant with my husband for African food, we’re staring to be regulars! We love their egusi and fufu (the pounded yam). The serving size is quite large, you definitely get more than what you pay for. One serving is usually more than enough to feed two people. The staff are friendly too which is a huge bonus!
The food here is absolutely AMAZING and DELICIOUS and the customer service equally matches! I can’t wait to visit this amazing restaurant again.
Tasty food from West Africa. Clean venue. Friendly staff.
Prices are higher than what I'm comfortable with but I'd still recommend visiting if you want to try quality food that you're not likely to find served at too many other restaurants in Melbourne.
We ate the Chicken Jollof rice, Egusi with pound yam (basically fish curry with a type of mashed potato) and fried plantains.
The service was very friendly but it was distant as in not exactly attentive. I have to say the food was incredible. Definitely want to come back and try more this cuisine. Definitely recommend the yam Fufu with any curry they have.
