We create African soul food from the heart, with a vision of shifting boundaries in African cuisine.
Meaning “here is Africa” in French, Voila Afrique celebrates the colorful and oftentimes untapped spices, roots, tubers, and grains of Africa, in partnership with women producers and suppliers from farm to table.
Ordered from here several times and have not been disappointed yet. The food is amazing and staff is very friendly and welcoming. My favorite dish so far is pounded yam with egusi and fish. Very fresh and very tasty.
We ordered fufu, jollof rice, peanut stew, fried plantains, and rice and beans. We are vegetarian so I called to confirm that everything we got is vegetarian, and the lady was lovely and helpful. There's a list on their website of vegetarian, halal, and organic choices...
Delicious! I'm glad to have Ghanaian and Nigerian food near me. I first read about Voila Afrique on NY Eater. I ordered fufu, jolof rice, peanut stew, fried plantains, beef with onions, and collard greens in palm oil. Wow. The jolof rice and beef with onions were so flavorful
Yes you can sit outside. This restaurant has two small tables set up if you want to sit a bit. Delicious African Food!! Go for the Fresh Egusi and pounded yam, it will be a taste experience that you must not miss out on. This is the only place in Manhattan that makes Egusi fresh...
This place does everything right. Flavor, portion, and price are all fantastic; and the food is absolutely fresh and made to order. I had the Jollof + Spicy goat stew combo, as well as an order of Sayu (beef kebab) and mixed greens. I am not African, but the stuff here reminds me of the curries my mom made growing up...
