Kemi’s Kitchen

I recently went back to Kemi’s for a 2^nd time. Although I think they still have work to do, in regards to customer service… this time was way better than my first time there.
We were greeted inmediately, before fully walking in. We were told to pick a seat and our waiter was there to take our order.
Food came out quick. We ordered fufu and egusi soup. Food was AMAZING !!! OMG !!! The food was soo amazing.
However, our waiter didn’t give us any napkins and disappeared for about 15 minutes.
Overall, the experience was much better. Everyone was friendly. The only hiccup was our waiter disappearing and I spilled soup on my white shirt. Didn’t have anything to clean it with so I now have a stain I can’t get out. :/

Still by far the best Nigerian restaurant in the DFW Metroplex in my opinion, always consistent in great taste and Scotch Eggs are a must try.

Tasty authentic Nigerian food. The suya was spicy and delicious. They serve plenty of rice and fufu but they were a little skimpy on the meat. The staff was very helpful and friendly I will definitely be returning.

The food is ok I cook Nigerian food all the time so comparing to tired of cooking it is ok. The cater to most African church’s and events so the food has never been just so amazing to me. For a new person first time earring African food this is a good place to go it may seem really salty or spicy at first but overall it is 3 stars I rather go to Irving for Lola’s but Lola’s always runs out of suya or dodo. No whala

The place to go for authentic African food. Can only be imitated. They also cater and do take out.

I came here today for some amazing West African cuisine. We ordered the fufu with okra and goat and jollof rice with chicken and plantains. The food was AMAZING. Brought back memories of my childhood when I would go to my friends house and they would feed us all of the Nigerian dishes that I grew to love. I need to try to chinchin next time though.

Kemi’s Kitchen is authentic and amazing! My boyfriend is Nigerian and he vouched for the amazing quality and authenticity of this Arlington gem… If you are looking to venture outside of the norm and looking for quality African food in the Arlington area… This is the place for you! :)

Isn’t all that great. Had jollof rice, pounded yam, and moin moin here. Needless to say I have been there a couple different timed and the pounded yam and efo that day has been my only positive experience there.
The three stars is only for the soup on 1 occasion. I went again recently and the soup was not good then and the meat was not what I asked for.

Ok, so I buy
certificates to save a few $$ and to try new places. That being said the food was really good but the waitress was less than satisfactory! She offered nothing, we had to ask for everything. the place was empty and we still waited forever for silverware, napkins, boxes, and the check. i am a bartender and a good tipper but she was probably the worst waitress I’ve ever had. Ok, then the bill comes. We had to spend $ 35.00 we actually only spent $ 32.00 I added it up… anyways it was $ 35.75 now I have a
certificate for $ 25.00 so any four year old could tell you the math would equal $ 10.75. The bill was $ 21.00 brought out by someone other than our server we never saw before and I said clearly it states $ 25.00 off. And she said several times that’s not what it says. Now I was going to tip more than 20% before all of this even with the atrocious waitress but I was so put off by this embarrassing display that I left $ 13.00 and left. Yes the food was good even though they were out of one of the 8 things on their menu but totally not worth the hassle!!! Highly disappointed! Step it up people there are a million other places to eat.

Saw them on
and thought we would check this place out. We went and it is family owned. Everyone including others at table next to us were very nice and offered to explain everything. The menu is limited with the number of dishes, but the choices of meats is great. We tried the meat pies for an appetizer, and they were great. We ordered the Solid Food Platter w/​goat and the Fish Platter. Both were extremely delicious with fresh ingredients. They are spicey dishes but that is something we love. We definitely recommend on trying this place out and we will be back.
