I really enjoyed the food here. We ordered fried fish, joloff rice, and the lamb with plantains. Everything was delicious and was excited that they gave a good portion of plantains and rice. My biggest feedback is that the lamb portion is too small. Would also suggest they offer hot sauce, pepper options. For context, I ordered through uber eats.
This is my second time trying Safari and I loved it! The food is delicious. The lamb spelled and tasted roasted, well seasoned. The jollof rice had the perfect amount of spice. The plantains weren't overripe or too greasy. The goat pepper soup had depths of flavor. It looks like a plain broth but, as a Jamaican, I'll be back for more. The service is quick and friendly. ambiance wise, it's more of a takeout restaurant with limited high chairs.
The food is really good. This is my second time ordering and no complaints. I wish I knew about this place before now!
Food and service is exceptional. my mom and I eat from here all the time. Try the pepper soup which is my favorite.
The fufu & egusi was delicious. The jollof rice was difficult o stop eating it was so good. The lamb was good and had good flavor, but was a bit tough. Overall the food was great though. The side sauce you get is real spicy. Inside is cute and small. I ordered takeout.
This is the best African(West African) food in the Boston area. My fav is the attieke with Lamb or Fish. Also, the chicken Yassa is to died for.
The food is great! I order the okra sauce with fufu every couple of days. The fried rice is also pretty good but the chicken that comes with it isn't that good.
This place is small (4 tables) and takes quite awhile for the food to arrive, but brings in a lot of kick and value. I really enjoyed the jollof rice with lamb ($16) and my friend got the jollof rice with fried fish (decently sized whole fish for $15). The jollof rice included plantains (a little soggy) and a really nice salsa. I would definitely come back to try the fish, and would try ordering ahead, as the wait time was quite awhile.
