Long wait times and order inaccuracies have marred some visits, but many appreciate the lively crowd and diverse music selection that features a blend of African and Western influences.

Parking is atrocious! They made me move my car and let another go into the space I was in and another car was parked horizontally across two bays..!

I visited this restaurant with my fiancé and we had a wonderful evening. The service was very friendly, and the food was absolutely fantastic. I would highly recommend it to anyone!

One thing to note is the incredible diversity of the crowd. Many people come from different parts of Africa, so the DJs often mix various musical styles to cater to everyone’s tastes, along with some classic Western 90s hits and other old favorites. If you’re specifically looking for a spot to dance solely to afrobeats, Thatched House might not be the ideal venue. Aside from that, it’s a fantastic place to go clubbing. There’s parking available on site until it fills up, and additional parking can be found in the surrounding area. I believe entry is free until 12 AM, but I should verify that. Overall, it’s a great night out!

The food was excellent, and I had a great time overall. I can't complain about anything, but they do need to ensure the restroom is cleaner; it was a bit messy for an early evening visit.

Waited for 1hour for my food. When I got the food finally, it wasn’t what I ordered . I Ordered gizzard and I got some green beef stew. Ordered fried yam and they gave me cooked Yam with green stew. What is this. Never again
