This restaurant is amazing. The portion sizes are generous, the food is excellently prepared, and the staff is very friendly. I highly recommend the Poissons with Attieke (Cassava), which was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The Poissons with Riz Gras (Jollof Rice) was also delicious, one of the best Jollof rice dishes I've had in this area. View all feedback.
What Nelly Chou dislikes about Burkindi:
Stay away from this place.First of all the place had a very bad smell, it was so bad that I had to wait for my food outside.I ordered the whole fried chicken, jollof rice and some other stuff. They gave me an old refried chicken, with some missing parts.Don't even bother asking for a refund, a replacement or a manager (she's the rudest person I've ever met).This was a complete waste of money, I threw the chicken in t...

They don't listen when you ask for extra sauce. Then after repeatedly asking they say it's a dollar each (EXTREMELY SMALL AMOUNT no exaggeration). The food is great other than that. UPDATE!!! They now charge 2$ for a pinch of sauce, they only have 3 items on the menu THE OKRA, if they don't have the okra they only have the spinach and the goat meat and the fried chicken. Very limited but they do give a decent amount of food and they are usually only nice to their kind, I don't go as often as I use to.. maybe every 5/6 months. I don't like the disrespect, the lack of listening and the blatant racism

This restaurant is absolutely fantastic! They nailed the flavors, everything tasted fresh and delicious. I had been craving Dibi and only knew of one place in New York where I could get it, but now I can enjoy it right near my home. I can't wait to try everything else on the menu.
