Kontiki is an amazing restaurant! My husband and I got married on January 1, and we really wanted to accompany both cultures. It helped, Kontiki has some amazing dishes that all our friends loved. We had Oxtails, Beed Stew and Jollof Rice! When I say the food was fresh and hot!! The owners have accommodated us where they would normally be closed! To say I am satisfied is a lie because we were overly satisfied!! Thank... View all feedback.
What User doesn't like about Kontiki African:
I really liked the cleanliness of the restaurant it seemed family friendly. That being said, it was a little sterile. There was no music playing and I expected to feel emerged in an West African type of experience. I had the couscous chicken. The food had generous portions of couscous and fresh vegetables, but the chicken didn't seem to be marinated in the sauce (which there wasn't enough of). The waitress was nice b... View all feedback.
Went with a group of 4 on a Sunday evening, wasn't very crowded. The menu is small with some daily specials listed on a board inside. We tried the lamb pepper soup, meat skewers, fried plantains, and rice akara for appetizers. For mains we ordered the peanut butter soup, ox tail stew, fufu with okra, and jollof rice with beef stew. The akara and plantains were good, but the meat skewers and pepper soup were amazing. The pepper soup is very spicy, but really well seasoned. All of the mains were really well prepared and full of west African spice. The okra tasted good, but I'm just not a fan of the texture of stewed okra (a bit slipperly/slimy). The atmosphere was really relaxed and comfortable, the service was friendly, and generally a fun place to eat. Try the ginger beer if you really like ginger, it was def stronger than ginger beer I've bought from kroger. Will definitely come back
Really good food, oxtail and peanut soup were both good, i only suggest the peanut soup if you really like peanut butter, it was a strong peanut flavor. Jollof rice could have tasted a bit fresher, but it was good. Price was good, give them a try!

The food had generous portions of couscous and fresh vegetables, but the chicken didn't seem to be marinated in the sauce (which there wasn't enough of). The waitress was nice brought me my water, but never came by my table to refill my drink or to ask how the food was. I hope they expand their menu and add items like chicken yasa, provide Maggi sauce, or popular African deserts. I will definitely give this restaurant another chance and maybe try another dish.
Not sure about the food because I was unable to eat here today. I called and ordered ahead yesterday for today because I live 3 hours away and after the woman took my order and us driving all this way, THEY'RE CLOSED ON MONDAYS!!
I got the experience of driving 2hrs! For a different culture of food for dinner tonight. Im was so excited, to find out I dont like fufu. It does have a taste to me. But the fish was good
